The bank manager looks her in the eye and says:"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack, give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

Reminds me of one of my favorite Who's line, lines...

So the cold brew coffee???

A TOTAL WINNER! I’m very surprised. Just made a French press full w cold water, let it steep overnight and this morning just outed a cup and put it in the microwave.

Hardly any bitterness.

This is good, because it makes two decent size cups of coffee, which is perfect for me every day.

I will miss the smell of the percolator, we will definitely keep it around!

Try using near boiling water over the coffee grounds in the French press. You get the aroma and less bitterness. Make sure to grind the bean to coarse as fewer fines are in the coffee.

Why is 50 in October so much worse than 50 in april

Fifty is miserable in October because you're used to 88. Fifty is the bomb in April because you're used to 22.

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. So he says, "Hello, Patricia Whack. I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation."

Patti looks at this frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow.
The frog says $30,000 and the teller asks him his name, and the frog says it's Kermit Jagger, he's the adopted pet of Mick Jagger and that it's ok, he knows the bank manager.

Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything that he can use as collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and leaves the room. She finds the manager and says, "There is a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know Mick Jagger and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant and asks, "What the heck is this?"

The bank manager looks her in the eye and says:"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack, give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

So...to all my handy men and women

Under my kitchen sink on the west side of the house where the cold wind pummel my house it is cold.... would it be okay to put some thing on the back wall of the kitchen cabinet...

What would I use?

Or do I just not worry about it?

Leave the cabinet doors open. It will let the warm room air in. You can put Styrofoam, or insulation between the pipes and wall for better insulation. They also make a electric pipe wrap you can wrap around the pipes and low electric sensors keep them warm so they don't freeze. I've seen people put heating pads behind the pipes although I don't suggest that. The pipe wrap is made specifically for that. They even sell the foam pipe wrap that will insulate the pipes.

Thx. It isnt frigid. Just cold and my house causes me anxiety.... if I didn't like living where I do I would move. The person who built the house was awful and the people qnd renters who had it before me didn't care for or band aided everything.....

Leave the doors open and use a wee space heater nearby on the miserable windy nights.


My kitchen freezes at 0*. The downstairs bath never does.

Do they have Mac and cheese on the menu?

I know, not the most glamorous dish, but, strangely satisfying.

Want that mac and cheese blind or one eyed?

And if you know you are an asshole or a rube, better learn to be quiet and leave the others wondering about you; way better than confirming their suspicions!

100%.

I just wouldn’t use any insulation that could potentially get wet. (Fiberglass)
