A couple of years ago, Kayleigh hung white Christmas lights in her room. It looked really cool. Until her rats got to them. Now there's no rats and so I'm encouraging Kayleigh to get more lights.

Not found, but lost. My G-Shock watch. I took it off in the toilets at college and put it on the sink bench when I went to wash my hands. Done this plenty of times so don't understand why I left it there. Was back in the computer lab for 5 minutes when I realised. Raced back to get it and it was gone. I wonder who took it, whether or not they needed a watch. If they're ok with it being 4-6 minutes fast and beeping 20 times at 9pm every night.

Check the sink tomorrow, they might bring it back.  :laugh:

I'm not sure I interpreted this the way it was meant... :o
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Why do I now have a mental picture of a christmas tree with a charred, smoking rat perched on the top like an angel that had just crawled out of a sewer and topped itself...(in more ways than one)

Or rat baubles. Smoking, greasy smelling, occasionally electrically arcing rat baubles coupled with the smell of really quite suspiciously cheap chinese food.....Or for a really brief, but spectacular display, couple it with new years fireworks, by using not a domestic power supply but a marx generator capacitor bank and baited copper bus-bars. xmas tree rodent-plasma roman candle.

Come to think of it..would santa's suit provide much insulation, I wonder.....two strips of metal, one on either side of the internal surface of the  chimney and a pressure-pad switch at the bottom. Ho Ho bbzzztrrrrakkkkHnngshplorsh! lets see what he left parked on the roof. And who's for venison this year instead of turkey?'



At least people would start taking down the trees in a timely manner, as the flambee'ed rats begin to start stinking.

Nah, her rats died pretty much of things related to old age. Can tell I didn't give much thought to how I was writing!

A VACUUM!

Not just ANY vacuum either!
An absolutely filthy, dusty, Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50 from 1967.

Trash picking aspie nerds and their vacuum cleaners.  :autism:
WTF.

I hit the attic trifecta on the house I was working on   :2thumbsup:
1.   Porn: a Penthouse Magazine from the early 80's
2.   Drug paraphernalia: a roach clip
3.   Liquor bottles

Playing with the metal detector I see.

All I found in my backyard was two crushed soda cans and roofing nails.

My yard is so chock full of junk I haven't even finished,  the first owners burned their garbage or just buried it  I have found everything from a hull plate off a Chris-Craft boat and lamps.  I have also gotten two silver quarters and two silver dimes along with about a dollar or two in clad.

I'm jealous.

I used to find goodies at the old house, but after about 10 minutes I always had a group of kids asking "whacha doin??....can I try that???"

Found a hardware store that had a liter jug of a mixture of N-methylpyrollidone and triethylamine for sale. As paint stripper I think it might have been. I'll have to fractionally distill it of course to separate the two, but thats quite a nice find, I had no idea until now that triethylamine was OTC. Nice, very nice.
