This! I wish pedestrian pathways had the same rules as the roadways. Stick to your side, no walking three or four abreast and expecting oncoming traffic to go around you, slower traffic to the left (or right depending on the side of the pond), and no stopping in the middle to talk (step to the side!).

How about the Close Talker with Bad Breath? There have been a couple of times I have physically recoiled in disgust with my hand covering my nose and mouth. I couldn't help it! How do I tell him (my boss) that it spells like something died in his mouth?

lol good one! This is why there is the courtesy flush, for poop shamers.

Is it wrong that I feel more sorry for the dog more than those Jenelle and Keiffer?

I used all the free web sites but it was monster.com that I found my current job. I had my search narrowed to two states and applied to a couple of places as practice interviews (one over the phone).

Well said, Steven!

I think I am now officially too stupid to keep track of comments and their replies. :(

Yes! But our only debt is a mortgage (and we make extra principle payments). We have almost six months of living expenses saved up (outside of 401Ks, IRAs, etc). Yes, we know we are fortunate but we both work hard, spend little, and have been blessed.

It looks cute in the proper setting. If you can, get the European pallets! They use solid beams and not just thin slats. Although they do weigh twice as much as regular pallets, so be careful lifting and moving them :/

I love it. One of the best free apps I've used over the last three years or so.

And pets. I can haz better pix of my kittehs. Squee!

"an older kid somewhere around the age of 45." o.O please tell me you mean when you are around 45? :) Otherwise, I don't get the joke (fibrofog)

Don't forget flags for curtains and all the glasses from the dining hall.

You are my hero (((hugs)))

Same here. In bed or on the couch. Bowl of warm-hot water, shaving cream, new razors, wash cloth, and a couple of towels and it's great foreplay. Fun favors like this go both ways ;)
