Sunk cost would be the economic concept behind shit canning otherwise "ok" food. The money has been spent, my appetite for said food has been satiated, and the risk of spoilage and health concerns overrides my financial prudence.

NOTHING PISSES ME OFF MORE THAN SEEING MY KIDS OPEN WATER BOTTLES, AND THEN MY WIFE PUTTING THE UNUSED PORTION IN THE DOG BOWL. The tap water is fine, but she won't quit buying those damn things.

This is because he's an overpromoted producer who probably feels like he has to "justify his existence" as a [now premier] talk show host. You know, he's gotta show the world + his bosses [+ probably himself too] that he's good enough, he's smart enough, and doggone it spmack likes him [for SOME reason/s-- no homo! =]

Edit:. Don't forget that he's essentially failed-upwards in his career over the last few years;. He leaves a quality producing gig in Chicago to get nights in Atlanta.... And it didn't work out. He basically got fired (with a side of salsa) but given his experience producing in this bigger market he's brought on by his old station to be a "familiar face" for a 9-1 gig with speagol. Nobody really liked that show nor do I think it kicked a lot of ass in ratings, but they kept it afloat so when Terry left Dan they decided "keeping it afloat" with b&b was the way to go so Jason got another promotion for being a "familiar face" who will keep things going more or less the same that they were, ergo he's essentially gotten 2 promotions that he wouldn't have gotten if he wasn't a nice lil score producer (some would say the most dangerous producer in America!) who was already raised and groomed in the station's culture by Lord FOTStein Himself!

So yeah by ~5-6pm he figures he's in the home stretch and he's already proven his point/s so he can just "sit back, relax, and strap it down" for that last hour =P

Amen. I think the kids want their water to be cold. So two things on that point:

1) They don't realize that tap water with ice is a good way to accomplish that and thus prefer the bottled water in the fridge.
2) Once the bottled water gets warm, they lose interest in it.


OMFG

Agreed. We went out to Village Pizza last Friday. MANY were excited that we had leftovers for lunch on Saturday. No one was clamoring for pizza on Sunday.

I don't drink tap water. Not sure how much money I spend on spring water but it is definitely in the hundreds. I rarely waste food. It costs too much and it's something that I've held onto from my youth. Just make less or make the kids eat it.

I used to do the Britta filter, which made things very affordable on the water front. All I had to do was change the filter every month which cost about $5/each.

I recently moved to Warrenville and the tap water here is absolute shit. Even the Britta filter wasn't much help. I ended up going with a water cooler and I go through about 1 of those big juggs (giggity) of water about every week. They only cost me 7 bucks a piece and seems like a better deal than buying multiple cases of water and filling my garbage with empty bottles each week.

I always finish what's on my plate, and I take leftovers for lunch at work the next day. If my wife has made more than that, I won't touch it on Day 2. Boy's gotta have standards.

So Dan thinks hockey GMs are all drunk at work all the time. More and more those teams are run by the same nerds who run NBA teams. The Panthers are run by Wall Street guys now -- just not very well, because they won the division last year and then replaced their coach and defense that made them win the division.

I despise wasting food. I don't know what the psychology is for me but it makes me angry to see food thrown away. The only time I will do it is if it is moldy or has a moldy smell. I'm not cheap. I will spend for the originally cooked food but if you buy it, you better eat it.

My wife, who grew up in a home with many more mouths to feed almost refuses to eat leftovers. This pisses me off even more because I know her family was making meals stretch as far as possible.

Pizza rarely lasts long enough in my house for it to be an issue.

I love soup. Soup gets better with age.

Goff talking about taking the mask off. Like he's done? Fuck man, 12 days in a row of work. Why did I tune in? Should've picked up another day.

ESPN is miles ahead of 670. Don't know why 670 didn't try to get Waddle and Silvy

I'm sorry that MANY here are so poor that they need to eat leftovers or food that is about to go stale.
