From Wikipedia:
>The Narcisse Snake Dens is a provincial wildlife management area located in the Rural Municipality of Armstrong about 6 km north of Narcisse, Manitoba. The dens are the winter home of tens of thousands of red-sided garter snakes. These pits are the largest known concentration in the world of this particular type of snake.
They are gathering together to mate.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIFU - lost 93k point from downgrading my Amex platinum to gold by [deleted]
Yeah maybe. But if they did it'd cost $695 to save $930 of points (still $235 ahead though.)
AmEx is known for clawing back the SUB if you don't hold the card for 12+ months. Their AF for Gold or Platinum really sucks the joy out of the SUB if you can't make use of the extra perks you're paying for. That's what is personally keeping me away from AmEx for the time being. I don't use Uber and there isn't a Cheesecake Factory near me, but if so I'd consider the AmEx Gold for the $240 credit I could get back.

Reply to comment by Icy-Reflection6014 in LPT: To avoid running out of staples unexpectedly, mark the refills by poormansnormal
Maybe staples work differently in different places, but I have never known a box of staples to cost more than chump change.
Why do you have to wait until the last staple to re-up?
Do you wait until the last piece of toilet tissue to buy more?

How about when you open the last box you buy another box? No red ink involved.
A 3 or 4 staple warning isn't really a warning, it's just a way to emphasize that you're an idiot who just ran out of staples.
Also, anecdotal story/confession here -- I stole a full stapler and 4 boxes of staples from a job that fired me 17 years ago, and I have yet to run out of staples. I should have stolen a red sharpie to remind me.

Reply to BIFL Furniture ideas to remember grandma? by dmay73
You can get a very nice, well-made Amish made rocking chair for $379, and for another $179 you can get a child sized version as well.
Each one is signed and dated, they really are pretty nice.

Where are you going to find a new record that spins at 78 rpm?

Absolutely brilliant comedy from Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-head, King Of The Hill, Idiocracy, Office Space, etc.) -- i think this is the best thing he has done.

Yeah, but toast + cold cheese is toast with cheese, not a grilled cheese.

Hahaha, it wasn't that bad. She wasn't a posh butler, waiting to iron the linens just before we retired for the evening, lol!

My thoughts exactly. My mother kept the sheets and pillowcases folded in the linen closet, and would iron them before she made the bed.

More like $1.69 -- the photo is from 1955, not 1937.
