When my dad is visiting, I usually ask him to bring his whetstone and sharpen my knives.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Sparky's dad is John Winchester, pass it on.
I'm so sorry about the pain, sara. Tooth pain is the WORST.

If there is something needing fixing when he visits, he will attempt to fix it. Whether you want him to or not. Tonight I appreciated it not just cause I got my fire hazard light back, but because he really wanted to do something to comfort me, and there really wasn't anything to be done. So he found something practical.

I have no dad... less annoyance, less fixy things....
>took Pico back to the vet tonight because four days off the meds, he's lost almost all interest in food again. So tomorrow he goes in and gets put under to lance the abscess. (If it is an abscess.) Poor little guy.
Poor Pico. I hope he feels better soon...

I wish my dad did that!

My paternal grandfather was like that. He'd come to visit and wind up rewiring things and painting the house and digging a garden. Part of it was restlessness, most of it was wanting to do something for all of us.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oy. I just saw a commercial advertising that Lucky Charms is "made with whole grain." Throwing a bit of whole wheat into a box of sugar doesn't make it any less a box of sugar.
I've got a few ceiling lights that need new light bulbs, and I can't reach them even on a stepstool. My parents were visiting this weekend, but I forgot to ask my dad to help.

In other news, I am dying to make one of these. I'm trying to figure out how. I need a thinner piece of foam than I have.

How thin is what you have? Too thin to slice through it with an electric knife?

Too thin to slice through it with an electric knife?
Or with one of Sparky's knives after her Dad visits?
