You beat me to it. Well played.

Especially the way it’s most often delivered, in my experience: From behind at a crowded bar.

Ew ew ew ew go away ew.

And for many more of us it is completely bizarre.

*shrug* I love the way it makes the sweat bead instead of fogging the entire surface, especially on my cycling safety glasses and ski goggles. Of course, my sweat might be a different ratio of salt to water than yours, so perhaps that’s the difference?

And i concur i’d never put it on an optical surface, such as a…

I hate where i live now BECAUSE there are no bears. I miss sitting in my living room with the lights off at dusk (10-11 pm because i grew up pretty damn far north) and watching a bear trundle past and investigate all the birdfeeders.

And the bathroom mirror. And anything goggle related - safety glasses, sport prescription glasses, ski goggles, swim goggles, etc.

Yeah, i’m with you. If you are near a car at any point during your vacation, you can still charge your reader. And if you’re camping and seriously without electricity, you’re probably way too busy to read. And too tired at the end of the day to need reading to fall asleep.

I’m so with you. I do tend to read those 1 star reviews, and so many of them are spurious and based in selfishness.

True selfishness, like “my drink did not come immediately after i merely THOUGHT it in my mind”. Posting a review of someone who actually performs poorly - unprofessional, late, messy, etc - seems…

I concur. That yelp of pain when they abruptly thrust their seat back into my knees is usually enough to deter them from trying it again. It’s even awesomer when i’m fast asleep (as i often am during takeoff) and i jolt awake in pain and swearing ;)

I went through all the 5 stages of grieving (which apply to dating just fine btw): anger, denial, acceptance, etc. I think maybe 2 or 3 cycles of that depending on other factors in life like job, derby, etc.

I could build one and see if anyone wanted it, yes, but at that point it’s probably best i just offer them on freecycle and move on with my life :)

It’s so brilliant though.

If there is enough sticking out on either side of the fabric, perhaps. But if you cut them in half so only one fabric strip is in place, they’d have no lateral stability.


Which is not to say one couldn’t lay new strips of cloth down and go on a stable gun party. Definitely something to keep in mind.

It’s a website, along the lines of Craigslist or Ebay. Except, you know. Everything’s free.

I’ll have to measure but none of my doors are nearly as wide as my slats. I have the one that took 2 of them to make a queen sized bed, so i presume the twin and full ones are narrower?

Also, older home. No closets.

I’m not kidding. The only real closet i have is because i tore a wall down between two rooms and the…

This is excellent timing! I have 2 of these in my basement from a bed that broke. I was going to freecycle them, but i love this idea!

My stopping point: my house is old (1921) and every single wall has a window or door in it. Basically no unbroken walls anywhere, certainly none big enough to hold this.

But still. I…

I concur. You’ll have a bunch of your tools out anyway.

I’m more Green Tea myself. Or maybe Durian.

Actually, probably Durian :(

OMG yes. I used to tell my last ex, with whom i was with for 6 years, he was saving me from the terrible dating scene in my town. Then, of course, we broke up and i was single for 3 years. The stories from that time are seriously mind blowing. I can’t imagine how that many people become adults and never learn the…

I’ve replaced those too. It wasn’t that terrible, once the rusted and frozen screws came out. Remove old, insert new, tighten screws.

Of course now my issue is more complex - the dial on the right gas knob is completely stripped and free rotating. There is no way to turn the gas on the right side. It really undermines…

I was thinking of doing the same thing for my BF.

Great minds and all?
