But . . . when the aliens hover over the city, and spool up their super-weapon, how will people get out in time?

To add to the useful answers given here:

Why is there a drumstick attached to his head?

Why is a pig portrayed as a possible entree for the party? I mean, the lyrics say the ‘food will be disgusting’, but is it supposed to be unclean as well?

Looking at his face, I’d say that he wasn’t white enough by half to be exonerated by that jury.

Your Dad’s Japanese?

This is excellent. I used to set up cords and cables for workshops and meetings at my university, and I bought several cord reels to hold the long extension cords, but this is even better.

Not level. This is exactly how mine always look. I blame twisty lumber.

In addition, it is good to know how to take out the P-trap and clean it or recover things from it. You may need a monkey wrench, but that can be cheap compared to calling a plumber.

Yeah. You do need to read a “How-to” book (Readers Digest has a really excellent one with pictures. I found ours in a used bookstore) for little things like that. I use a barbecue lighter to keep the thermocouple hot while re-lighting the pilot, because I can’t seem to hold my finger steady on the “light” button long…

It makes the anger more understandable, but more relevant is the total lack of staff training, screening and guidance. From the description, and the outcome shown here, the company has zero investment in employees.

Oops, sorry. I didn’t follow upthread very carefully.

Your wife is a strong, heroic person. I would have to undergo years and years of therapy to reach anything like that stage of confidence. I admire her, and I am sure that you have been understanding and supportive whenever appropriate. I am glad to know that it is possible to get past such trauma, and live a good…

once you have taken to living 24/7 in fear it seems like you have given up an awful lot

Clip. There’s a clip to put it within easy reach. See the picture. It has a clip.

Exactly. I don’t understand all of the “it won’t work in this situation” comments. Nothing works in all situations, but it is a good concept, and may be useful. It takes too long to contact allies on a conventional phone, but this will inform a list of people and also give your location. This is well thought-out.
