Thanks. It would have been great if it made it through.

Wasn't there supposed to be a ship with activists delivering aid from Greece or someplace a few months back? I wonder what became of that...

I hope this one makes it safely.

Only eight :|

One time when I worked at a hardware store, I was loading concrete bags for a woman and I asked her, "you wanted eight?" to confirm how many she requested. She asked back, "do I want a date??" Anyway, I was too shy to pretend that I was asking her out, so this comment is only sort of about dating.

A clear plastic cup and a paper card large enough to cover the opening.. Wait for the fly to land on a window, and approach slowly with the cup while distracting them with your other hand. When close, cover the fly by pressing the cup on the window and slip the card underneath the opening. It helps if the fly has tired itself out first. Works well for all manner of bugs.

That's why you branch out

Spatulas with overly-long handles. Nothing like constanty banging it all over a small kitchen.

Those little lights made to look like light switches, with their weak-ass magnets.

Clamp lamps that have scant threads on the reflector. They like to pop off and can actually instakill an incandescent.

As far as a house itself: installed carpets. It's everything you hate about carpets, but permanent. They're especially loathesome in bathrooms.

I also used to make crunchy granola w/ chocolate and peanut butter and cool it in the fridge. It was amazing.

Maybe it's a snack you like, but not love?

Peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwich. No, was not a pregnant woman, I just didn't have any jam ;)
