My brother in law owned a pump-gizmo and was state licesed to clean beer lines in restuarants and bars...I went with him many times. I've seen restuarants that I would eat off the floor, and many that my feet would stick to the floor. My son worked for a restuarant supply company. He said he would only recommend the places that he knew bought alot of disinfectant and cleaner
Agree - My restaurants are very clean. We spend about 20% of the day just cleaning. Over use of chemicals is a problem though. We use calibrated dispensers for the sanitizing agent (Quat) to kill germs just adding extra doesn't do anything. Every day the spray bottles are emptied and refilled with fresh stuff because the shelf life is very short.
I have witnessed a few horror stories in the last 20 years!
My favorite was a baked potato wrapped in foil stuck about 20 feet down a drain pipe below the floor!
It also works to take graffiti & painted on logos of vehicles.
And that is the weak oven cleaner. We get liquid oven cleaner that is about 4 times stronger for really stubborn stuff!

If you consider everyone standing around watching the pitcher scratch his arse to be 'constant action', I suppose there's constant action in baseball. It's marginally faster than cricket, I suppose.
Agreed.
I played baseball for many yrs . But I have to say its a horrible game to watch. Like watching paint dry.
You cant drag me to MLB game.
To make a MLB game interesting enough for anyone to go, they have to have giveaways, fireworks, toys and shops in the stadiums, etc.
And you can still buy $3 tickets

CR, what an awesome movie, with great insights to the challenges and strengths of a "typical" American family.
My wife and I had our first date on February 15th because I had to work the night before and have missed every Valentines day since. Tomorrow is our 23 years together anniversary!
Congratulations, and keep celebrating the 15th. :clap

I remember at 15 years old riding around on my motorcycle with a .22cal. rifle tied to the rear shock with the butt resting on the rear foot peg and waving at the Deputy Sheriffs as we went by. Stopping on the shoulders of what are now major highways and shooting off into the woods and waving at the same Deputy Sheriffs as they ride by. I had a damn good childhood. I was a swampbilly. You can't hardly find a piece of wet grass now.

That is what I thought when I first saw it. Glad to you already confessed to your crime :D. Or in the business world they look at more positively and call it leveraging, and it is considered a best practice. :)

My first solo overnight, at 12 yrs old, I had my grandads 22 rifle with me. Camped in fifty acres of woods behind the Presbyterian Church , above the Catawba River, in Morganton, NC. Had steak and corn on the cob for dinner and eggs and bacon for breakfast, cooked over a wood fire. Slept in a canvas pup tent. Those were the days.

Yes that's right Astro... my hubby told me to pick out a new pair of trail runners for myself... I might need some advice on what ones to get. My feet are size 7, normal width but they are not "thick" at all.. like really slender.
Congratulations, and keep celebrating the 15th. :clap

Same same when I was a kid. I would walk the 2 miles down the road with my 22 over my shoulder, couple hundred rounds, shoot all day while my parents were at work. 2 of my pals would set up our baker tent in the next town for weeks at a time. Go back and forth on our bikes all summer.............it is indeed a different world today.

I can definitely appreciate it. When people think of Florida they think of Disney World and South Beach and glitter and glamour. There's some serious outdoors down here. We were real hicks according to the surfer boys. We called them pier rats, cause they hung out underneath the pier at the beach. My brother was one but he converted later on in life. Don't get me wrong, the beach is cool - I just didn't make it my life. We were out ON the ocean more than the beach.

At the risk of getting political in a humor forum, true freedom has existed for a very short time in modern history. We were very fortunate to have been a part of it.

It's all what you put into their education. My older daughter is going into 9th grade next year with 5 honors level classes. My wife and barely passed high school because neither of our parents cared to demand making the effort. She is doing math right now that I cannot do. Bragging complete!!!:D

Exactly. These shows like toddlers and tiarras, these cheerleading and dance shows. Parents living out their dreams through their kids.

We can laugh, remember, commiserate, vote, post, hike, and laugh some more. The dream of freedom will never die. The reality may come and go. It will ebb and flow like the climate, the moon, and the tides. We are a bit of nature, but we have our dreams, and from time to time they do come true.

Started camping out without an adult when I was 15, Myself and a couple friends would head out with sleeping bags, cooking stuff, a boom box, a 20 gauge shotgun and fishing poles. We would walk the short distance through the woods to a road leading into the mountains. We would stash our stuff and head across Rt. 501 down to the river to catch fish for supper. Then we picked up stashed stuff and walked the road approx. 1 1/2 miles back in the mountains to a place by the creek. We would pack the fish full of butter and lemon juice, wrap them in aluminum foil and lay them on hot coals. 20 minutes on one side and flip over for 10 more. Eating fish we caught, sleeping under the stars and listening to Led Zeppelin and Kiss. Life was great.

Dad took me to the East Village to buy me a pair of vertically striped bell bottoms, and then to some disco In Manhattan when I was 13. Truthfully, I just wanted to go back to the hotel and go back to bed. The rotating strobes and mirror lights were impressive though. So was the volume. I still can't half hear, or think straight.

Yup... the hair & make-up was the main attraction... well, for me anyway. ;) Disco in Hotlanta early 80's...flash back!

We'd have to do some hella aqua blazing to get to Oz. Might take a bit more than a kayak.
I remember at 15 years old riding around on my motorcycle with a .22cal. rifle tied to the rear shock with the butt resting on the rear foot peg and waving at the Deputy Sheriffs as we went by. Stopping on the shoulders of what are now major highways and shooting off into the woods and waving at the same Deputy Sheriffs as they ride by. I had a damn good childhood. I was a swampbilly. You can't hardly find a piece of wet grass now.
As a kid I used to shoot frogs in the dam above my house with .17 calibre Diana air rifle.
Problem was it was the towns drinking water (used to be a lot of frogs before they started adding chemicals.
I must have put a couple of thousand lead pellets in that dam.

[QUOTE=hikerboy57;1417680]
Exactly. These shows like toddlers and tiarras, these cheerleading and dance shows. Parents living out their dreams through their kids.
I always tried to take the approach of exposing my children to a lot a different things such as educational, sports, cultural, etc.. and encourage them to dream, and then support their pursuit of those dreams.
Now if they happen to choose to pursue the opportunities that I wished I had had, that is great and a lot of fun. But when it is no longer their goal then you have to let go. Have 3 sons who completed Arrow of Light and could have been Eagle Scouts, but will end up with only one. Started hiking the AT with one, but he got bored because I could not hike as fast as him, so I will finish without him.

He was actually pretty good, and even though he was more the old fat Elvis, the women were eating it up and swooning when they got a scarf. The crowd was into it since the guy was good, but it was still pretty rude. Father of the bride wasn't real happy, but he was feeling no pain, so he didn't care too awful much. All in all it was a memorable wedding. A mild hurricane had just passed through (Rasty, you remember Charley in '04?), power was out in the church causing some heavy duty improvising (and some awfully warm guests with no A/C), the limo service for the wedding party cancelled because the city and county had implemented a curfew which hadn't been lifted even though the storm was long gone and damage was limited, and the country club where the reception was held was running on emergency generators until less than five minutes before the bridal party arrived. When it was time for the traditional toasts/speeches, the father of the bride started off with, "The next sonofab___h who tells me, 'Think of the awesome stories they can tell on their 25th anniversary' is going to get punched in the f___ing face."

I think part of why the same question gets asked over and over is because it is not the easiest thing to find if the question has been asked. I gave up on searching topics from within Whiteblaze. A keyword google search with the word whiteblaze gives much better results. Perhaps I am searching wrong. Even if I am, google results are very good.

Yes, I am cursed. I will make an exception for pie though.
Aww... not fast enough.. don't forget about PIE!
Double stuff Oreo brownies. Start with an Oreo. Add peanut butter, another Oreo, then more peanut butter. Add to a paper liner then fill with brownie batter. Bake @ 350 for 20 minutes.
There you go Milkman and Coach... :) Glad you like it!

Chris- How much of the brownie batter per cupcake? Going to be trying this tomorrow.
Chris- ur gonna need the jumbo liners because when u put the two double stuff together it goes above the regular liner and use the cake consistency when ur looking at the brownie box it'll give u more and not as thickjust pour it in until it covers the oreo and lightly tap the pan on the counter to get the brownie mix to go under the cookies.
People talking about making those cupcakes..... I think I might try them as well. :)

Request sent, good sir. Perhaps if I make it to Maine next year we could enjoy a cup or three.
I was in Brunswick years ago. 1990ish, for SERE school with the squids there.

Just sidling up to the cafe for a cuppa, and I have to say... dear holy of holies, how can you listen to the same questions over and over and over again without tearing your mother-loving hair out? HOW? I salute you long-timers! I mean jeez... I lurked for a year, then posted a bit with an earlier identity, and I've been around a bit now, and the sheer repetition has me gnashing my teeth.
So I just wanted to say, particularly to anybody who's been around for ten years of it... WELL DONE, PEOPLE.
I salute you. You are models of patience. Hat's off!

I think part of why the same question gets asked over and over is because it is not the easiest thing to find if the question has been asked. I gave up on searching topics from within Whiteblaze. A keyword google search with the word whiteblaze gives much better results. Perhaps I am searching wrong. Even if I am, google results are very good.
I do the same, and normally the first thing to pop up is whiteblaze without even putting wb in the search.
Needless to say, the mother of the bride was mortified. :p
Hey but when it was over, they were married, and that is everybody came, and that really matters.

Karma, so you like part of the WB witness protection program or something? :-?
Does anyone know if someone, while hiking The the AT proper or intersecting multi colored blazes, ever been stuck by a meteorite.....or is it meteor.....or shooting star..........

It was moved?
is there a map?do you need a compass?
sure there's a map- a compass helps only if you know how to use it!
There is none aficion... it's uncharted territory. Bushwhacking all the way! :)
'zactly! It's all good....
Hiking in Wilmington sucks! Ooo look it's a Bed Bath and Beyond!!
but is there a Krispy Kreme? Hot and fresh??
Do we have to hike in the Northern states in the winter? Can't we kind of do it like the PGA Tour?
that sounds like a good plan
we be boomin' - do you think the baby boomer generation will go down as the coolest generation ever. I mean eva!
best evah!!!

The baby boomers generation has the music covered... hands down! :p
well we did have barry manilow too.
And Disco!
ugh... sad times. Lead up to the 80's music. Talk about the day that music died.
Oh dear God. We do have to claim Disco.
That's a sad fact.
If I carry a magic bullet do I still need 5? 19693 Where do I plug it in? Do I need a solar panel or a treadmill for my dog to power it?
only one if you have a long extension cord.
That's right. It looks like there's actually early boomers, middle boomers and late boomers. I think most of the middle boomers and almost all of the late boomers are still working. Wait till we're all retired. We're gonna have a beach blanket doo-wop southern fried rock-n-roll disco party.
You bet we will!
We could pave it with yellow bricks and double rainbow blazes.
decisions, decisions.:confused:
I wonder if the powers that be would grant me the power to be in the middle of one of these conversations?
What I mean is because I work nights and can't be on when everyone else is on, I should be able to put my posts between other people's posts.
That way I could at least pretend I was part of the conversation.
I need to start a new poll: Would you quit your job to cyber-hike?
I am getting tempted.
I work all day and can't keep up! I crash early too, so that doesn't help. I keep hiker's hours. :D
LMAO! Port City Javas would be nice waypoints.
At least it's better than hiking Jacksonville. "Ooh look a furniture store on its 15th year of a going out of business sale. Oh, and a pawn shop. And titty bars!"
Definitely need to blaze around J'ville.
We'd have to do some hella aqua blazing to get to Oz. Might take a bit more than a kayak.
Thought maybe we'd all grow wings like WOO, and birdbrain...

[QUOTE=atmilkman;1417688]
I always tried to take the approach of exposing my children to a lot a different things such as educational, sports, cultural, etc.. and encourage them to dream, and then support their pursuit of those dreams.
Now if they happen to choose to pursue the opportunities that I wished I had had, that is great and a lot of fun. But when it is no longer their goal then you have to let go. Have 3 sons who completed Arrow of Light and could have been Eagle Scouts, but will end up with only one. Started hiking the AT with one, but he got bored because I could not hike as fast as him, so I will finish without him.
3 Arrows of Light, VERY GOOD! and an Eagle!
