Does anyone still have copper wire landline service?

Nobody at AT&T seems to have a clue what I am asking for.

I do! I use it instead of my cell if at home. Had the number since 99. I even have a hard wired phone from the 70's mounted in my bar. It works and of course it is a rotary..

@PolkaDot  I must apologize.  I've been lacking any creative thought or focus lately.  The fellas here gave some good advice.  I'm putting the onus on them.    I personally have never used an electric smoker before.  By the way, what kind of wood chips will you be using?

I haven’t decided yet,probably applewood. I might do hickory- that’s my go to when I make pulled pork @ShayP

I do a wonderful Milton Berle impression for my wife a few times a week.

Ummm, no that's not really my style either. I don't even remember the last time I baked a ham @KSM , it has to have been at least two if not three years ago.  And I'm pretty sure the last couple of times would have been a country ham which is a different beast entirely, well it's still pig....

Regarding the applewood and pork: your dramatics, while entertaining, are not exactly on point. I would recommend to you that perhaps it is used often because they make such a delectable pairing. If it isn't broken then there is no need to perform unneeded repairs or in your case- throw it out entirely.

@ShayP - I've decided to do a dry rub on the ribs: pepper, paprika cayenne, garlic, dry mustard, and perhaps a dash of cumin with a tablespoon or two of brown sugar. I'll try out a mop sauce recipe I found of bourbon, apple cider, cider vinegar, lemon, and Worcestershire every 30 minutes (that seems like a lot *shrug*). And I'll smoke it over hickory so that the neighbor @KSM doesn't complain about the mundaneness of my smoke pairings.

Dinner is at 5 on Sunday. Hopefully @GravitySucks and @Bart Ell and the Spousal Unit won't be too bummed about the lack of sauce....Maybe I'll make one for those sauce inclined to have on the side. It'll depend on how much bourbon is consumed during the smoking process.

@PolkaDot  That looks fantastic.  Are you smoking them and afterward putting them on the grill and then mopping the sauce?  Regardless, I bet it turns out delicious.

No. I am percent on point. Apple and pork and have a free ride for far too long.

And listen @PolkaDot You have tagged me 4 that's FOUR times today in one 12 minute visit from all areas of the board. You can't get enough as you diddle yourself to me but need to feed the kitty with whatever attention scraps I throw your way.

This is all you'll get today. Do with it what you will.

He's was and is right you know.  I know you know.

@Camazotz Automat  About five or so weeks ago you were sporting the One Vice At A Time avatar. I told you of the cassette I have but with no way to audibly enjoy it. Fast forward to just last week I received the CD I ordered.. you know the one.  To my dismay (see picture) there was a sticker on the front case that would not so easily be removed. This marred my new purchase and knowing me as only I do it made me quite angry.  I considered grabbing my wife's hair dryer (but didn't) after trying ever so gently to to remove the eyesore sticker with my nail only made things worse.

You can see what my solution was.

I wish they had not forced my hand in such a way.

@KSM

I feel your pain.

That is an elegant and fast solution to a problem that drives me nuts as well.  Especially if I purchased a CD because I want to relish the classic artwork as I listen. Full immersion.

Because of the KROKUS band logo, I do think it is a cool sticker. Almost pharmaceutical in appearance.  But they should place it on the shrink wrap's outer surface. Even better, redesign it and print it on card stock and place it inside as a faux "backstage pass" collectible.

Similarly, I dislike stickers on book jackets. I regularly buy used books. I don't care if the book is beat up, but added barcode stickers and price stickers on the dust jacket are hard for me to ignore.

I've had a lot of luck using the pictured  product which you may already know about.  I'm in the process right now of moistening and peeling off a partial sticker on a book delivered today. The seller tried to remove it, and it mostly came off, but it left behind a square, sticky, transparent, fuzz magnet, as well as a sticker fragment.  I put a couple of drops on the area and let it sit for three minutes then peeled up the remaining sticker a little at a time.  Then maybe another drop where curled up  sticker meets book jacket. As far as the residual adhesive, I use a smooth cloth, moistened with the cleaner and make small circular motions with the cloth. That motion also starts balling up any "ghosting" paper that would not peel up.

So it works well on CD cases and glossy book cover paper.  I've also used it on glossy vinyl-record jackets to remove the price stickers applied by used-books stores.

Note:
The solvent is toxic. User Alert. But it sure as Hades works. One vice sticker at a time.

Thank you for that.  Goo Gone  I shall seek this out as I have more than a few items around the house in need of such a cleanup.

barcodes on top of barcodes on top of barcodes much like the layers of insurance stickers on my plates
