Whose bright idea was it to flip it for phone, anyways?

Many theories posited here. Keyboard Trivia

I think they did it to screw with us.

I mostly use the numbers at the top of my keyboard these days, so it's not a problem anymore.

When did numbers get placed at the top of the keyboard?

I'm sure that it does, and to be fair, that stretch of 94 is probably one of the most important roads in WI - how else are those WI people going to get to their jobs in MN?

I can't believe it! I brought home two turkey drumsticks from my brother's house and put them in the refrigerator. A little while ago LoP said he was making some turkey stock so we could cook lentils later. I wandered into the kitchen and said "Did you put the gravy in that pot?" "No. The gravy is in this other pot heating up." But something was off about this picture. "Where's the turkey? Did you put the turkey in that pot?" "The turkey is in the oven." And he reaches into the oven and pulls out a pan and there's nothing on it but meat. I said "Where are the bones?" "They're in the pot getting boiled down into stock. Why? Did you want to eat one of the drumsticks like a caveman or like Henry VIII?" "Of course, I did. I just can't believe you deboned the drumsticks without even asking first!" And he says it didn't occur to him to ask because he never imagined I'd want to eat it like that. WTH?! Doesn't everybody eat them like that? You think you know someone...

Miscommunications. Happens all the time at my house. Although it could just be me. ... later

Lots of guys at the in-laws like the legs, so I actually bought three legs this year and roasted them separate from the big turkey. They were a little smaller than the ones on the massive bird they had, but I ended up eating one of the ones I brought and then taking a massive one home. :lol: Had it with leftover sides and a bottle of Chimay. Turkey legs are the bomb. I lament your loss.

Hey, give thanks for small favors. At least he didn't sacrifice all the meat to the stock like I would have done. Sounds like the makings of a great sandwich.

I can't believe it. I somehow lost 2 pounds in the past week. What person loses weight over Thanksgiving? This guy.

Ok, someone please talk me out of a dropbar MTB conversion. I'm this close to driving like an hour one way for a 60 dollar specialized hardrock.

It's like looking for an AA meeting and walking into a bar.

My weight stayed steady. I didn't vary my eating or exercise, so...
