    I wish there was a middle floor in my house

    You know, somewhere to put all the furniture and electronics. It wouldn't be at ground level, so it wouldn't flood. It wouldn't be the top floor, either, so stuff wouldn't get wet or blown away when the roof is torn off. Like a nice middle ground. A happy medium. I guess we need a three...

    Swimming pool resurfacing. Anyone had it done?

    Well, after a winter of neglect, our pool is in poor shape. The surface is plaster, and we let algae thrive for so long that now the walls are stained grey in spots. Apart from that, the surface is just really old and is beginning to chip. I'm looking at the difference surfaces, and I think...

    Pr0n on my niece's computer? OMFGWTFBBQLMAONSFW!???!?!1

    I bet it's Jeff! :laugh: My niece asked me to wipe her PC clean as it's running like crap (spyware, anyone?), but she needed a lot of stuff backed up. In the process of copying folders over the network to my HD, I happened to open the Recycle Bin. 19 Year Old black girls First Time...

    Problem with the tip at a restaurant

    My girlfriend and I went for a quick and cheap dinner at a local dumpling house the other night, and the total bill was $17.xx or so. I paid by check card, and wrote in a $6 tip (the waiter is a really nice old Asian guy, very attentive, and we stayed about 5 minutes after closing). But I'm...

    Nokia 6230

    Any 6230b users here? What Bluetooth headsets/PC dongles work especially well with this phone? Newegg has a wide selection of dongles from about $10 up, but I don't want to get stuck with a cheap one that doesn't work very well. Wireless headsets... bbllah, I guess I have to research those...

    It's bed time

    I was sitting here, chowing down on some baby carrots while I surfed ATOT and perused some Seinfeld scripts. I reached into the bag for another carrot, and my fingers encountered one of the slimy, nasty ones. It slipped from my grasp and fell into my lap. The ride's over. That killed my...

    YAWT: Home-made squat rack/stands

    This is pretty much the way to go: http://www.theministryoffitness.com/mof/library/articles/article11.htm Except I don't have access to the equipment necessary, and for that amount of work and material I might as well buy one. But I don't have the money to buy one, so I have to go with...

    Shower Poll: Do you use a washcloth?

    I've always used a washcloth in the shower. I never really thought about it. But the people in soap commercials just use the soap and their hand. Likewise, I know a few friends/family members who don't use them, having showered at their houses. I want to know what the percentages are.

    Picked up the Incredibles on DVD yesterday.

    After seeing it in the theatres I knew I had to have the DVD. It's really great. Lots of special features, and commentary from both Brad Bird and the Pixar animators. And yes, it includes the full NSA superhero files. :D Awesome. Just finished watching it again. I love this movie so much.

    My doctor rocks!

    I had to talk to his med student, but he was cool. Then my doctor took a look at my throat (it looks very gross) and everything, and as he was writing out my antibiotic prescription, he says, "You don't have insurance anymore, John?" I was like, "No, not right now." He replied, "Well, I'll...

    A story about mice

    My friend's mom's sister, as a child, kept mice. Some of the mice escaped to the basement, and began to interbreed. One day, the girls' mother went down to the basement to discover a horde of mutant mice, with multiple limbs and tails and heads, wriggling about. She shoveled them all up and...

    Quick Firefox question

    I started using Firefox about a week ago. For you other FF users, do threads with a lot of nested quotes cause horizontal scroll? In Opera the text just wraps, and I thought that was how it's supposed to work.
