Have you ever tried to use a blowtorch when you are under a sink with no room? It will give the entire house that pleasant fireplace smellDrTom wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 8:40 amWow, whatever happened to the good old blowtorch. Great for loosening up rusted nuts and for giving one a reason to replace the entire wooden cabinet the sink is in! Also give the room that pleasant fireplace smell.....

Well I didn't consider the gravity of the situation, that usually just holds me down. Still I didn't think it was all that necessary when you are ammonia friends.LadyBird wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 11:36 amIs it your in-stent to Foley explore this body system, using appropriate and specific gravity?
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

The Missus retired from running the endoscopy unit at MGH. If you want potty humor, they were full of it. (It makes for a *very* interesting endoscopy when you know everyone in the room.) Myself, I've had a potty mouth since working on submarines for the department of the navy. ...and it went down from there.DrTom wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 12:31 pmWell I didn't consider the gravity of the situation, that usually just holds me down.

My 5-year old daughter asked for, among other things, a unicorn. When I told her Santa probably couldn't get her a unicorn, she asked for a pony instead. Hopefully the Radio Flyer rocking horse goes over well--wish me luck!
If all else fails we are looking forward to the new Pixar film tomorrow.

Great - but better plan on either the pony or unicorn next year.

Please pass on our appreciation to Matt, Mike, yourself and all the others at the WSJ for their efforts. They bring a lot of enjoyment in a year where we really need it.
