K, or you can turn on the washer, add the stuff, then add the clothes. Then at least it is mostly dissolved instead of putting it right on top of dry clothes. I don't wait for the washer to fill, but putting the detergents into the water and not onto the clothes does help. ;)

I just read the title of Lefty's most recent blog post as "Pillars and Ladders Sucks" when it was in fact "Pillars and Ladders Socks".

I have not given up caffine, unfortunately I'm far to deep in my addiction to be able to give that up without some severe withdrawl issues. But Coffee is my favorite source of my caffine intake.

True story: Researchers have recently discovered that caffeine is good at removing cancerous skin cells! They are thinking of adding caffeine to sunscreen. I predict we aren't a long way off from the caffeine patches in "Meet the Robinsons."
AHHHHH!
Sorry.

I, too, am a caffeine addict. I drink between 4-6 cups of coffee in the morning. Any less and I start feeling major withdraw symptoms. I've joked with friends and family that I should just get those caffeine patches from"Meet the Robinsons" or get a caffeine IV.

If I'm having a horrible headache, I find that drinking something with a high amount of caffeine tends to help. I know, wierd.
306biblioholic29
#305: It depends on the kind of headache, but caffeine can help make headaches go away. I think I read somewhere that it constricts the blood vessels or something.

Gee, thanks JP!
It was someone on the live internet chat service we have at my evening job in the ticket agency. I was unable to get the customer the theatre tickets she wanted at that specific time, as we were out of our stock and would need to call the theatre to buy additional stock. I suggested she call back in the morning, as the theatre itself was closed. She then typed "no, now". I replied again that the theatre was closed but we'd gladly call themin the morning, at which point she called me...well, you know what she called me! I thought it was so funny that I printed the whole chat out and pinned it to the memo board in the office!

It's espicially funny when you think about how many people that had to go through before taking up half a side of a 20+ story building. I know in this office before we even have the signs printed at least 3 different people look over the proof and then we usually send it back for a new proof 2 or 3 times. And we're a small property management company, can you imagine how many people proofed that before it got hung.

Linguistically speaking, an accent is a manner of pronunciation of a language. If the pronunciation is different from the "norm" or hard to understand, that would probably give evidence of an accent. I can understand what I say, therefore I must not have an accent for my native language.
Of course, I can also understand both you and MrA.

Contrariwise, does that mean my younger children have accents since I have a hard time understanding them?
