Well, it's better than licking a faucet! I'm still laughing. These people are crazier than me (and that's saying something).

On a separate and not really related note: I won Glee fingernail polish! Sephora, OPI, and Glee were giving away OPI's new Glee themed set of polish and I got one.

Congrats! I just googled the nail polish, I really like the magenta and blue polish.

Thank goodness you don't have to go to work.
that faucet........
Off topic: to get garlic-smell (or other yuck smells) off your hands: rub them (washing movements) with salt.

Very nice gadget. You just lie back on the couch; reading a book or something and give the cat a workout with the laser-pointer. No sweat.

Yep! Stainless steel under running water. I have a egg-shaped stainless steel ball made just for removing garlic smells from hands, but washing steel bowls or dinnerware would do just as well.

It's working, the wind must have just blown out the pilot - it's just taking its time to get back up to heating the place ....

Great!

A tip? May I?
Don't wait for the bar's usual working hours.
Open it ahead of the time.

Hah! Puritan! (You've already told us you're not a dour Scot.)

It would've been open for 14 minutes already here! Time to unwind...


Hmm, did I forget to add any smilies?

My late cat Bugsy was normally extremely dignified. He was a professional, specializing in rodents, and very good at it. Ordinary playing was beneath him.

Laser pointers were the exception. He was confused at first - "Why is the tip of my nose lighting up red?" - but he soon figured out I was responsible, and would bug me to got out in the hall with him and make the red dot he could go crazy chasing. I just decided he saw it as training, keeping his speed and reflexes sharp for catching mice, and the fact it was fun was a fringe benefit that did not count against his dignity.

He developed a growth on his abdomen. The vet said if Bugsy were younger, he would open him up and investigate, but Bugsy was about 14 at the time, and there was a risk that invasive surgery would be fatal. The vet said "Give him his favorite treats and lots of affection. When he declines too much, bring his in and I'll euthanize him.

He did not "go gentle into this good night" - a week before we had him euthanized, he caught and killed his last mouse.
