You're going to have So Much Fun! I got a wonderful Andrew Wyeth book at the bookstore there, and walked away from a dozen more I'd like to have gotten, as well. And the fooooood! And the incense store! And, and, and-- You're going to have So Much Fun!
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Much healing~ma for your friend, vw!
I ended up going to AutoZone, and it turns out, I just wasn't putting enough force into it. In fact, I'm not entirely certain I have enough strength to get the coolant overflow tank open on my own, even still. Did manage to master the engine oil cap, though.

WS, as JZ says, those caps often have little tongues that have to be matched up with notches and then the cap can be pulled straight up.

That's how the last one was, I think. But this one... just ordinary threaded closure, but for some reason requiring a lot of brute strength.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

That sounds like where my mother might be talking to thing "Work, goddamnit."(Yes, I got my ladylike speech from my mother. But she usually thinks them when they do, also.)

If all else fails, swear like a sailor, and hope that's sufficient lubricant?

vw, were you at the North Shore Mall Lush? We were there today too, probably around 1 or so? I got a bunch of crap including that 9 items for $25 kit thing, and then I bought enough stuff that I got this other mystery box for free! It has a lot of really good stuff. SO weird that it was free.

Mostly lurking...
HA! That would have been hilarious, but no. We were at the Burlington Mall. I had to pick something up that I'd bought but was back-ordered at the huge Crate and Barrel. Were your people wearing mustaches? Apparently it's a company-wide mustache party day or something. N was totally charmed by that.
