Hi TAN

Where's Yanti???  I would like a hug.

Guess the desert thinned my blood out.

I like 72 in the winter and 77 in the summer.  On the other hand.  It's easy to heat to 72 and hard to cool much lower than 77.  Unless you are rich or something.  We hit over $400 a month for electric in the middle of the summer even by being careful with AC.

haha it's the opposite for me!  i have natural gas heat (snerk) and in the winter its 200 - 300 a month, while in the summer it takes a REALLY hot month to break 200.  we got a programmable thermostat this year, so we are excited to see how much money it saves to let the house be a little warmer while we are at work, and cool only when home...

OK, here's a no win situation.  Wife come yelling out of the bathroom that she's 5 lbs heavier then she thought she was and asked me if she looked fat.

If I say "yes"?  forget about it.

So I said "no".  Not because I was playing it safe, but because she didn't look fat to me.  No difference at all...

Then she starts to argue with me how could I say "no" when the scale says 5 lbs.

SO, I said the scale must be broken and I will put new batteries in it stat.  That bought me a couple days, no?

Yes and when that reprieve is over tell her the battereis must have caused the calibration to be off.  Make it sound really engineery and techinical and you should be good for a while.

tell her to take a dump and try again?

or are you one of those guys who doesn't think his beautiful flower of a wife poops?

Nope.   But I don't think it's a spectator sport either...  Close the door!

I have a personal battle with the word "miracle".  I try to spell it right, and it refuses to be spelled correctly.

First of all, I can never spell it without the help of spell check.  The problem is, I'm SO far off, the spell check doesn't even give me the right option.  It takes me about 12 tries.  In fact, one time I couldn't get it, I had to go to IMDB, look for Kurt Russell, and find the movie Miracle on his list to figure it out.  (or Google "Kurt Russell hockey movie based on 80 Olympic team").

For the life of me, I keep thinking a "y" should be in there some where and no "e".  I have a serous mental block with this word.

My favorite (and routine) attempts?

• miracal
• myrical
• merecal
• myracal

Then I really reach an go with

• miracyl
• meracyl

and so on.  Try them in your spell check.  None will give you the actual spelling since they are so far off.

Nope.   But I don't think it's a spectator sport either...  Close the door!

And point out the very real truth that a 3-5lb swing in body weight in one day is not abnormal, simply from hydration levels.

Maybe get her to realize that the scale doesn't matter.

Who am I kidding... you have no "out", lol.

This.  I will have days where I gain or lose 5lbs w/o even realizing it.

Hi TAN!

So... not that I need to know or anything, but what's the best way to get crazy glue off of fingers? 

Pee on them.  It really works.

Hmmm... I think I'll try nail polish remover first?

That usually does the trick.  Back as a kid I used to build and fly balsa wood RC airplanes and glued my fingers plenty of time with super glue.

Which one usually does the trick though - peeing on them or the nail polish remover? (please, please, please say the nail polish remover!)
