    Standing vs Waiting on Escalator

    The pedway is/was very clean and well lit. No homeless, that I have noticed. They went topside and some literally under the bridges (the rafters of the bridges). Unless it was extremely cold and windy I didn't use the pedway much. I think there are "tours" of the pedways, so I think they are...

    Standing vs Waiting on Escalator

    I'm not sure when the last time you were at that end-of-the-line station, but the last time I went through there was a couple of years ago and it is extremely nice. It's clean and there is now a full shopping mall. The nice thing about it, it's attached to the underground pedway and you can...

    Standing vs Waiting on Escalator

    I rode a commuter train everyday for a few years and those escalators were always full as trains were arriving from the suburbs every few minutes. Going home wasn't as bad but the escalators weren't very wide, only one person wide. The hold ups were usually caused with people that were pulling...

    Standing vs Waiting on Escalator

    I'm not an impatient person unless the person in front of me is oblivious that they are holding up things. I tend to walk up the last few steps on an escalator if it's empty, but never when I'm going down. On a moving sidewalk I always walk, I feel lazy traveling at the same speed as someone...

    Standing vs Waiting on Escalator

    I've been on my share of crowded escalators and autowalks (moving sidewalks) and even though the article points out that walkers use more space and therefore crowd the escalator and slow everyone down, IMO they may use more space but they use that space much quicker than the space a person is...

    How can you say that with dishes like crubeens and black pudding! :chef: Okay, maybe you're right.

    Chat Things you used to believe as a kid

    I remember believing the last day of earth was at the end of the calendar, December 31st, because there wasn't another page and no more days. I wondered if my toy GI Joes would move around the house when we weren't there like Toy Story. I thought the pressure cooker was just moments away from...

    Housewarming Gift

    A multi-tool from www.leatherman.com never know when it will come in handy at the new place. A manly throw... I like the Blackhawks so I got huge throw that I like to fall asleep under. How about an Aerogarden, love mine. A nice wall clock.

    Procedures or surgeries make you queasy?

    I hated needles and getting poked, not that I like it now but I can tolerate it because I've gotten used to getting poked and poking myself. I've been through several major surgeries and even woke up in the middle of one and talked with the surgeon until he told the anesthesiologist to shut me...

    Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)

    Okay, I understand. My first comment was to someone posting that Mardi Gras (fr) aka Fat Tuesday (en) had replaced what was Shrove Tuesday meant. And what I commented on was that both were different. Mardi Gras aka Fat Tuesday = eating fat and and everything in sight. Shrove Tuesday =...

    Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)

    I must have heard it wrong then, I thought Mardi Gras as known was a tradition that some say dates back to medieval France, brought here with the French and continued with the Acadians (Cajuns), predominantly celebrated in French settlements, i.e. New Orleans along with other spots in the...

    Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)

    Makes sense to me, from what I have read and I'm no expert Mardi Gras (fr), in English "Fat Tuesday" was a day Christians adopted to end secular festivities of several days to start the Lenten season. And Shrove Tuesday was more of a religious single day preparing for Lent that included...

    Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)

    I would agree, a US pancake has leavening which makes them fluffier. A crepe does not contain a raising agent like the description of the English pancake, thus flatter.

    Does a man-cave count when it's on the main floor and not in a basement?

    Working With Your Hands vs Going to College

    Trades are different from each other, I have been reading this thread and a lot of it makes sense, I have a few friends that are licensed plumbers. They took the route of having a high school education, then went through an apprenticeship which normally takes 4-5 years, they spent 3 hours of...

    Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)

    There were tons of them at my work cafeteria. They also served gumbo and jambalaya with fixin's and the grill had a New Orleans shrimp po' boy sandwich. I didn't even make it to the salad bar or the sandwich station.

    USA How can we ditch the 2 party system?

    Yikes, I think China and Russia basically have one party and Venezuela is trying. :O_O:
