No, that's why you should eat a lot of waffles.

What if I don't really like waffles or pancakes all that much?

I have roots from the North, and a mention in the Domesday Book.

I prefer eggs, potatoes, meat, and toast to pancakes or waffles.

Is it weird that I just stared at Gravey's image for a while, thinking it was going to move?

No offal? What are you, American or something?

There is no pleasing you Jonman. What are you, my mother or something?

The Boston Molasses Disaster is not a band, but an actual tragedy.

I'm a man of simple pleasures. Give me a stack of offal waffles, and I'm happy as pig in poop.

EDIT - I've since named that dish woffals. And I'm totally going to make it.

After a while, you figure it out.

The pancake is a lie

The reason why I started using etckeeper is so that I can have a record of the changes I make to server configurations and I can refer to that list whenever I'm making similar changes on another server, and not so that I struggle to resolve the same issue on a new server and then look up my commit history *smacks forehead*

LibreOffice is cool when it's used by itself, but there were enough niggling formatting issues when LO-created documents were opened in Office that I couldn't keep it. Just something to keep in mind.

This problem is easily solved by not opening any documents in MS Office.

Check with the place you're sending it. My younger son and my son in law are both looking for work, and most places I've been seeing them go to to require .doc format.

I most frequently saw this with consulting companies that wanted to slapt their company logo on your resume.

Women are devious.
"No honey. I don't want a diamond. But I do want a ring."
"Well okay, because with us buying a house I can't afford a diamond."
"It's okay. I forgive you."
"What? I thought you said..."
"I was thinking... let's do a ring with our birthstones! It will be supercute!"
"....."
"What?"
"You realize I was born in April. Right?"
"Why?"
"Sigh."
"Here, I saw this really nice ring on the web."
"Huh, looks like this jeweler is going out of business and is having a bankruptcy sale."
"Well, it wouldn't hurt to check it out and at least get a ring sized, right?"
"I suppose not..."
Thirty Minutes and $1,000 (after a 70% discount from 'retail.') later...
"Yay! Diamond!"

"I don't want a diamond, just my April birthstone!"

Huh. Now I know that when people say 'slow as molasses' they mean 'an estimated 35 miles per hour'. Interesting.

Maple syrup is also good on eggs, sausage (yeah baby!!) ham, bacon...

In fact, it is a common breakfast topping at sugar bushes in the spring when the maple sap starts flowing.
