Well maybe you didn't figure that out, but I really liked your use of "Peckow-mind...blown" :) Comet is our in house Snopes ;) |

Extreme Veteran 1648 | Subject: RE: Things you've learned recently that you think you should have known before You are not supposed to hang curtains over baseboard heaters. Makes sense when you think about it. Just wish I had thought about it before I bought new curtains. I also learned there is a lady down the street from work who will hem curtains for $10/ hr. |

I was always told when I was younger that ARBY's stood for America Roast Beef Yes Sir! I'm not willing to give this up just yet. If the "Raffel Brothers" specialized in chicken sandwiches, okay. But they specialize in Roast Beef! It's almost like coming up the a movie title first then writing the script afterwords. They must have backed into the name after they established the specialty sandwich! I can almost visualize the two brothers now, "hey Leroy, pass me one of those delicious RB sammies will ya?" |

"Pressed" and "Depressed" (with respect to brake pedals, etc.)
There was a guy at work who used to get REALLY spun up about this one. "THEY CAN'T MEAN THE SAME THING. THEY CAN'T!"
So of course I made sure to write test procedures with a liberal splashing of both uses. |

Champion 6503 NOVA - Ironic for an Endurance Athlete | Subject: RE: Things you've learned recently that you think you should have known before The key to sales and consulting is NOT "WHAT" you are selling or what you know, but by connecting with the other person. Once you have developed a trusting relationship and shown that you care about the customer as a person. "No one cares what you know until they know that you care." |

Champion 10019 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Things you've learned recently that you think you should have known before Originally posted by switch Originally posted by Aarondb4 By golly, I actually think I could do that.Guessing this is what Kido was talking about. Me? I say "wife! fold the sheet!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z5k9nWcuFc
I keed, I keed! I even stayed with it after she said "One of the biggest challenges you'll face in your life is how to fold a fitted sheet." Why do I have the feeling it's been years since you've folded a fitted sheet Aaron? I can beat that with a new tip: Just wash the one set of sheets and put it back on the bed immediately! Saves time, saves money, saves storage space. |

Regular 5477 LHOTP | Subject: RE: Things you've learned recently that you think you should have known before 3 new things, all garden related. 1) It's brussels sprouts, not brussel sprouts (I did not know about the terminal s in brussels). How did I go this long without reading/noticing that? WTF? 2) If you cut off your celery stalks, but put the celery bottom in the ground, it will regrow celery. 3) If you cut the pineapple top off a pineapple and put it in soil, it will grow a plant that will grow pineapple (eventually, if the soil is warm enough long enough). All you proud new owners of the pineapple corer-thingy can go c-r-a-z-y ;)
