Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So, if I'm desperately bored and blah, hitting reload on the BRQG until I find something funny I said -- that's an okay method of validating my self-worth, right?
Hey, one time I was needing validation, I went through all the other threads too and collected all the stuff I'd written that cracked me up but no one COMM'd, and put them all into a Word doc. So, y'know, there's self-validation, and then there's filling a mudbath with self and rolling around in it naked. (Not literally. I find I use it most at work.)
In conclusion, pandas:
That's just fantastic.
I just got 5 posts in a row from the BRQG discussing Yoo-Hoo. I don't even like the stuff, and now I'm craving it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. I was starting to feel like the Sally Field of the b.org.

We like you, Cash. We really do.
For the construction-ish minded:
We have an old footlocker we'd like to make into a toy box for Em. Obvously, we need to figure out a way for the top to not slam down and chop her fingers, toes or head off. We can't put one of those "stay-open" hinge things on it, so I'm trying to figure out a way to keep it open all the time. How could I do that, besides wedge something in there? We can't just take the top off - it's old and really put together well.
piece of wood or metal from top front corner of the base (storage part) to the top corner of the inner opened lid.
How do I affix it to the trunk so it can't be removed?
Aimee, if it's going to be against a wall, could you fasten a wire from the lid to a hook in wall?
