then at about 4 my mom asked me to make dinner(my first time!) i made macaroni with crap sticks that they have here. it was good but the onions were burnt but the dressing kinda overpowered that taste! then i listened to some music, watched a bit of tv and now i'm just waiting for late night with conan to start!

Been having a seemingly endless debate with people. Let's hear MB's take:

Waffles or Flapjacks?

Pancakes are another thing entirely, let's not even go there.

^I'll take cold pizza.

Ledgestone is in the books. I had back problems all week which I've nailed down to having some form of gout from being bit by that ****ing spider... and still no super powers, dammit. I was wincing on just about every throw, and having to stand and just use my arm with no run-up and X-Step took a LOT out of my drives, but I wasn't taking a DNF. No, no ,no. Absolutely not. I found myself in last place after the 2nd round, so I went into the 3rd and final round with 'not finishing last' as my only resolution and mantra. I walked away with a 26th place finish out of 30. Bad back and all. Got some neat prizes too.

Don't you have Betway yet? Here a lot of people use that to place sports bets (app/ website). The only drawback is that you can't place bets outside your own country with it.

Winnie: $32,000

Rent for 7 months in SD (low ball): $1,800 x 7 = $12,600

Selling price for the Winn: $20,000

Bottom line: pretty much a break even. I'm good with that.

That's more so what you want tho when you buy stuff like this, isn't it? That's how I've always seen it. As long as you come close to breaking even or profit, it was a good investment.

You're not allowed to use Betway if you're a U.S. resident. If you're a resident of Uganda, you're also screwed on the Betway wagering front.

The big one I know of for the USA market is DraftKings, which is fantasy sports. I'm not a gambler myself outside of the occasional lottery ticket, so I don't do sports betting, currently. I thought the recent ruling on sports betting was interesting so I've been keeping up with that.

That said, while fantasy sports never did it for me, I will be more open to placing some bets when it's real games with real outcomes; where it's all legit no nonsense. Right now I am following, very specifically, a company that is producing one of these apps, so I will at least download that one and give it a try.

I checked for "flapjacks" on Wikipedia and it redirected me here.

It is one of those regional dialects that come up every now and then. In the United States, colloquially, it is popular to use the terms "flapjacks," "pancakes," and, for some, "hotcakes", interchangeably.

However, there are differences between the 3. For example, in the United Kingdom, the term "flapjack" refers to something made from sugar, butter, and oats, and is usually served with honey. While a pancake, is fried batter made from eggs, buttermilk, and flour. A hotcake is typically the closest thing to a pancake, with the only difference being that a hotcake is smaller and thinner, meaning you cannot really fill a hotcake with anything the way you can fill a pancake.

100% into the new place and out of the old. I'm going to slip into a coma for the next few days and try to physically recover (my back, neck, shoulders, etc. are ****ing toast).

Linda and I are still getting along great even with all of the stress from the move. We'd definitely forgotten how to compromise, along with knowing when it's time to simply bite your damn lip to eliminate stupid conflict.
