We almost hit someone the other night walking in the middle of the road in the dark.

Some people just don't think the same as the rest of us.

And many of those walkers in the dark, who chose to walk down the middle of the road, wear dark clothing.

Been there with an excellent high score for years. Don’t need BOA to “help” in any way shape or form.

Yeah, my wife bought some Phish Food and put it in our freezer. I threw that shite out. She never asked about it, either.

Bank of America.

I always paid my monthly bill in full. It was an account for automotive expenses, so gas, repairs and other automotive related crap.

Every month, for years, I paid my bill early, and in full. At some point, years in, they asked what my income was. I refused to answer. They were persistent. I was persistent.

One day, I went to fill up at a gas station and my card was declined. I went inside to the clerk, and said I was having a problem with the pay at the pump option. She tried to run it and it was again declined. I have never had a payment declined on a credit it card and I have a very, very high credit score.


It was extremely embarrassing to me. That day, I paid with another card. After I left the station, I called BOA. Chipper little girl at the 800 number on the back of their card said, "No problem Mr. Tony, just tell us what your income is, and I'll restore your card".

You can probably guess what happened next.

Every single interaction my dog has ever experienced with someone coming to the door has been positive, so Pavlov doesn't explain why my dog (and most all dogs) go Murder-Mode when someone is at the door.

My dog goes batshit murder mode when someone dares to say "check the mail", or opens the latches on the kitchen window above the sink. She's gotten worse as she gets older. (5 year old Australian Shepherd)

Go eat your boring arse cheese pizza.

I always knew something was wrong with him because cheese pizza is all he likes. Whenever someone adds a topping to a pizza he is served, he comments negatively.

He's fricking weird.

Oh, they'll frick it up.

Use small shrimp and use a shrimp / seafood stock if you can, when making your bechamel sauce,

---

If you use milk or cream, it's a Béchamel sauce. Once you introduce stock, it becomes a Veloute sauce.

I would sauté or boil the shrimp first and introduce them into the mac and cheese prior to baking.
