Pet peeve: Automated phone systems that ask questions & accept voice responses. More often than not I'm looking for something that's NOT in the phone system, therefore I need to talk to a real person. If you've ever tried to stay with one of these systems until it ASKS if you want to talk to a real person, you know that can take half & hour or more. I've found that if I call a business & it has one of these systems in place there's only one way to deal with it: Turn into POPEYE! I start mumbling just loud enough to make some noise & curse whoever designed those phone systems & whoever decided to install the system in their phone system. BTW, if you look around http://www.gethuman.com/ you'll see all sorts of short-cuts around all sorts of automated phone systems. I highly recommend you bookmark this page!!!

Happy 'puke on the sidewalk' day to all you lass' & laddies! When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I agree. Nothing like the feeling of that balloon, which is your intestines, deflating! The funniest were the little old ladies: The nurses having to tell them, "Come on honey, you have to let it out!" Oh, & about the ONLY advice I can give for someone preparing for their first is; get at least one full roll of the SOFTEST toilet tissue you can find!

Should have said, "In no way will this product protect you from CHUCK NORRIS, ..." not Chuck wagons! When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Last weekend I saw the table set up at the entrance to the local market. You have no idea how difficult it was to walk by, but I'd hate myself if I did because I have no self control, & would have eaten all I bought in a weekend. Then I'd hear about it from not only my doctor but the cardiologist too. See, I really AM trying to be good after the heart attack!

In other words, the "system" is operating normally. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Last one I drove was almost 4 years ago, NJ to Ar, towing my truck behind the 14' box. It was a Budget & the box truck was nearly new (I think it had about 1500 miles on it when I left, nearly 3K when it was dropped off). Probably rented from all of them over the last 35 years & U-haul was the only one that I ever had trouble with. Lost half a day waiting to get a tire replaced once, lost another half day to replace a master cylinder that died on me in Ok, then had one leak water & damage a box of expensive books on a trip to NM. I would say that which ever one has a return site closest to your destination should be the best choice, but shop them all for $$$$$$.

No, just afraid of dying too soon. Even after a heart attack, it doesn't scare me. I accepted THAT fate at 13 when I was almost killed in a car accident. I'm going to hell anyway... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Here's what the man says: First off, she needs to stop using Neosporin, period. Tell her to wash it a couple times a day with soap and water and let nature take it's course. There's nothing she can do at this point to speed up the healing. The tattoo more than likely became "infected" because she didn't take proper care of it initially. Wearing a shoe and having your pet licking it won't help heal it. The first 48 hours are the most important determining how good your tattoo will heal. It needs to be treated like an open wound... you wouldn't dress a fresh wound with an old shoe, right? Feet are tricky, they're prone to infection (the part of your body closest to the ground) and "can" be difficult to heal. You need to go out of your way to take care of them while healing.

Message sent. Until then, here's a sample of some of his work he did for another friend & his wife (Rylee is their new daughter). Note: "440source" is only penned on! When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I'll send him a note. We may not get a reply until tomorrow some time. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I watched it the first time without sound & thought it was amusing. With sound, it was funny until the music started, then it was simply annoying. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

A friend on another board is a tattoo artist in Philly. I can ask him, if you want? When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Only ANSI test I ever took was a "grade 8" (pressure/vacuum) stainless, 16g, TiG, all position. That was way back in 1982 or 83 I think... BTW, the next job I held from 1986-2000 as a welder/fabricator. Although we were the "local welding shop" we specialized in drag race chassis/suspension roll cage work.Played with everything from junk street cars to hot rods to alcohol funny cars to even a post war vintage Indy roadster. One of the street rods, 1938 Willys coupe with a '40 one-piece tilt nose. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Molten steel, one of my favorite play toys! No, never lied or embellished as I was a welder. Usually, immediately after seeing the resume I set up the machine & laid down a bead or three. After that the very next thing asked is usually, "How soon can you start?" If that wasn't asked by the end of the interview I could count on not being called back. Only once did I get the call about 6 weeks later. Took the job, too, & stayed there for 13 years. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

My little brother. Between the age of 9 & 13 he spent more time in hospitals & casts than out. At 9 he was hit broad-side by a car while riding his bike on the sidewalk. Spent the next 18 months going from traction to a body cast to a walking cast & all the physical therapy involved before he went back to school. A couple months later he fell in the playground & broke the same leg & had to go through ANOTHER 18 months... From then until he was 18 he walked with a limp because of a bad knee (in the leg shattered by the car). For his 18th birthday in 1979 my parents had his knee fixed. He recovered from that quickly & soon after moved in with me & my then wife. A month later he broke his back in a car accident & the completely INCOMPETENT "doctor" that "treated" him in Trenton insured he'd NEVER have a chance of walking again (his treatment was to put him in a regular bed & do NOTHING). He went on to work for IBM for 10 years (until he got "down-sized") & has been on permanent disability since the mid 90's. Despite all this he's maintained his very sharp, very dry sense of humor & nearly everyone that meets him is amazed at his up-beat attitude. Pic attached is Andy & one of his cars; 69 Coronet 500 wagon with a 550HP big block engine. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
