Been there done that last year. 70-something me contorting under the cabinets to put in new LED undercabinets was harder than 50-something me putting in the originals 20 some years ago. Good news was I used the same brand and the plugs for their units, from their junction to the new units had not changed. So, saved hardwiring, was mostly plug and play with a pain in the ass unit mounting.

These are optional hardwire or plug one in and run them in a series. The stove separates one from a bank of three and the sink separates another large one. So I did the smaller solo one as a tester. Not fully happy with my hardwiring, will be fine but I don’t like any wires with slack outside of stuff and this one had a little.
Sis is doing a shore ex there.Cool. You'll probably pass near the Shire.

A guy from my neck of the woods, winters in NZ. Let me know what you think of it, always wanted to go there.
I know I'm late on this, but I remember a story in the Daily, I think, from way back when I was in school where people originally from Southeast Asia, I think, were playing that. Instead of an inflatable ball the one they were using appeared to be woven from long leaves or reeds. They were using feet and heads only.
I found the ball for sale:

That's from Big.
And don't forget him buying it by a motorcycle in Saving Private Ryan...
Learned a few things tonight. Looked through my moms family history book. She had always talked about this one lady who I had no idea who she was but mom seemed tight with her. It was her cousin. Also, I had 3 great uncles marry 3 sisters from a family, not their sisters but 3 women who were sisters
Yeah my Dad's sister and cousin married a pair of brothers. So my cousins had cousins who they were cousins of some sort with on both sides of their family.
My son told me about a situation today where technology sucks in education. He got a set of testing back and he did poorly on it. He's usually a pretty high scorer so when I say he did poorly, for him it's being in the 80area percentile for stuff. He told me he was told to go slow and do what you can, he told me he did but couldn't finish any section. I told him I would blast through and do the easy stuff I knew and come back and keep picking stuff off until I finished. He mentioned that the computers now don't allow that and you have to answer the current question to get to the next. So, if you get hung up on one or two questions in a row, it can basically tank your scores.
The other issue comes up, that if they do poorer than the school expects, they get placed into "intervention", which means you get study hall time immediately after lunch instead of the free 20-30 minutes they have, for the quarter or semester. He had to leave quickly though since he got a free breakfast from the school for having a 4.0 for the semester. Get a 4.0 and possibly have to get punished since you did poorly on one test; makes a lot of freaking sense. I am hating this, this one test matters 99% type system. Thankfully I am on the last one going through and can be done with it soon.

I'm going to have this song popping up in my head for the next year because the thread title keeps making me think of it.
Mine is what I posted on post number 10.
One OCD hang up I have is that anytime I use butter, peanut butter, frosting, even last night making pizza and putting sauce on the dough; I have a huge issue that I need to smooth it out the best I can with what I'm doing. The pizza sauce needed to be as smooth and even as I could get it, I calmed that by adding toppings, but I made myself try to equalize the toppings on the pizza as much as possible.
I just made myself a sandwich and with the tub of butter (I don't use butter very often) I had to scrape the butter that I needed to even out as much as possible. I want the top of the container to be level and smooth. It's not but I feel I have done the best I can with what I started with. Toothpaste, my wife just randomly squeezing and I got nuts about it, I have to get it so the bottom is empty as far as possible. I will eat my sandwich, by pulling the crust off and eating that, then I will take bites to keep it as square or rectangular as possible. Not complaining since these are just little quirks and I don't obsess over them majorly and I know others that can lose their minds over it. Just stupid little things I do.

I watched that (again) the other night. Apparently most of the infamous sodomy scene was improvised.
So we can now say douche, ass, fucktitty and others but if we want to call Richard Van Dyke by his shortened first name, it gets bounced?
