Four today. I really liked my third word though.

EDIT: I think I now know what was causing the spoiler glitch. I was putting my words in bold and then turning off bold before putting on the spoiler tag. Apparently the end bold code followed by a spoiler tag causes the glitch.
I was looking at that when I just replied and was thinking about the bolded text might be causing it

It's really weird how your spoilers come out double like that
I think it has to do with typing my words in bold and then turning off bold before I create a spoiler. I tried returning to the next line so the end bold wasn't the last thing in the spoiler but that didn't work. If I do it again and just leave it bold it will likely work correctly.

Testes, one, two...

You're probably doing your typing on the phone app (I'm using my computer) but I always put the spoiler tag in first, then insert my words between the bracketed "spoiler" start & end. Could that be it?

I don't CF via phone, only on the laptop. It is the bold. I left it bold rather than turning it off in my test above and it behaved normally.

Googles "wood glue cold temperature".

If you need to use glues in cold temperatures, your choices among the common woodworking glues are limited to Titebond III, which performs down to 47ºF, and Gorilla Glue, which needs a minimum of 40ºF

Checks thermometer. 18°

Not exactly sure.
Another sign of old age: you go to a meeting and they serve a prime rib meal. You look at it and wonder if you can finish that much (probably 8-10 oz). That used to be an appetizer.

Outside or inside? Here in Iowa I have the - sign infront of the temperature.
Outside. It's actually not bad out. No wind in town. I guess I shouldn't be too worried about the glue, what I'm making won't take long to put together, so I'll bring it once it's done.

18? We've been hovering around 7 all day. :(

Called my parents for their birthdays. They're down in Florida, visiting friends. I begrudgingly gave them the air temp/wind chill so they knew what they were looking forward to in a week and a half when they head back north.

Well JP answered my question quickly. Basically 50% bumps for the tiers
We just listened to it. We were planning on bumping up to the next tier, but instead of doubling our donation we will now be tripling it. And I'm not even fantasizing about anything beyond that tier any more.

Not sure what we will do. We donate above our level now with seats the group below. Son graduating may mean he might want a ticket. So I could be going back up another ticket next year. That would be a large increase overall to so that.
