My mother used to make my brother wipe down the piano keyboard after he practiced, because she said she could feel his fingerprints on the keys.

How is your brother today?

I don't like to leave fingerprints, but you all kind of knew that...

^^ I like my grammar - she's 95!

Slightly, everyone is waiting. Please do fill us in. Also, while we're standing at the wall, can we read magazines?

Grammar who needs gramma its overrated i think so is syntax that as well everyone shouldn't need silly little marks here and they're to understand simple sentence structure why even bother using words really use acronyms like ER room and really long one's to show the enormous extent of your laughing this is probably giving you a headache so isle use some commas, i like commas, their swell guys, you know, always jump in to give you a hand, i probably, use them just a little, too much, oh but what about comma,s that are supposed to be apostrophe,s and then theres some peo,ple put in the midd,le of word,s for some rea,son really wh,y yeah and Im also to lazy to use paragraphs so, enjoy this huge wall of text

Was that as painful to write as it was to read? I know I've said this before: Commas aren't apostrophes. Wink

It was. I actually did the ER tautology the other day. I'm also a bit fuzzy on apostrophe and comma placing, but I blame my school for teaching me post-structuralist readings and "Why composers present conflicting perspectives in their texts" over English grammar rules. Rolling Eyes

Craig, I've felt so sorry for you over these last few fleeting moments, that I have purchased a padded plastic bubble in which you may live. It comes with the best sterile room enclosed and air conditioned stereo system that is impervious to the human touch, as the enclosure is out of everyone's reach, including yours. All it plays is "Mandy." Check-in time is 12AM Jan 1st.

Thanks for the... enlightening advice, people. I´ve come to terms with this, and I must man-up and face the consequence of Samsung´s actions.

SH - I´ve been going your way for a long time now, but I appreciate the thought.

I forgot my microfibre cloth too, so when I return, I´ll give her a treat.

Also, I noticed the shield I fitted doesn´t quite line up with the edges, leaving a 0.1mm gap at the left hand and bottom edge. I shall install a new one when I get back.

That said, the phone produces some nice pictures, which I promise to share with you all when I get back (in just 3 days time). Crying or Very sad

I love the sun, & envy you lot who have 80 degree weather year round. I´m not looking forward to returning to the snow.

^^ Snow's up to chest height Craig Wink

@Craig - I'm looking forward to seeing the pics when you get back. I'll even bitch and moan about the snow a liitle with you in chat. I was outside shoveling the other day, and it was about 5 degrees F with 20mph winds - about -10F windchill. I thought I heard the house siding making popping noises, but it was my knees banging together! Very Happy

You wouldn't want to see the sides and bottom of the canoe. Every time it went in the water, I picked up more scratches, gouges, log marks with bark imbedded in the finish. My cellphone has fingerprints from 2008 still on it and the hood of my car has 4 scratches from my nephew putting camping gear on the hood. Bumps, dings, and dirt are memories of life. Embrace them. Very Happy

My kitchen work tops get cleaned then polished, I can't stand a speck that can be felt with a hand being left behind.

On the other hand, the compound mitre saw is still in the breakfast room after 3 weeks....

^^For goodnesssake, don't use it you will scratch the blade! Confused

My advice would be to cover your newly acquired electronic gadgets in at least 10 layers of plastic laminate. That way it will be extremely difficult for any marks or scratches to get onto the shiney clean surfaces of said gadgets.

Of course they may also be rendered totally inoperable and useless, but that doesn't matter does it?

(Grammar ... look I'm drunk so I don't care too much right now, okay?)

I'll take the saw and up you a cordless drill, bathroom sink (complete with faucet), cabinet for said sink, tote of Christmas decorations, guard rail for the fireplace, shop vac, and 3 cloth grocey bags of clothes, all in the dining room.

I have a problem. I found myself emailing my bait on my phone to wish him a happy new year when I was in the buffet queue for a new year's eve party last night.

I can add a table saw that has one missing tooth.
I was using a steel rule to measure a piece of timber before cutting with the saw....there were these sparks, and the wood was a bit difficult to cut....

The table saw isn't in the dining room but the folding stand is, along with a cast iron pot-bellied stove that isn't hooked up to a chimney and a 32 volume Britannica encyclopedia set.

What? You expect me to say I have a table and chairs in the dining room?

What do you have in your breakfast/dining room?

Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2010 11:29 pm

Well, I have my computer and CCTV magnifier, my filing cabinet, and office supplies in my dining room.

I have a small apartment. Wink
