| Anyone know how to get peel and stick fingernail art off of a dining room table? The stuff is bullet proof, and I've already nicked the finish on the table trying to scrape it off. |
| I got most of it. This nearly rivaled any horror ever written. |

| Have you tried Goo Gone? My wife swears by it! |
Reply| Goo gone got silly putty out of my carpet once, but I wouldn't dare put it on top off the good table. It's kind of strong. I took a metal cake server and put it right on the edge of the decal, then I wiggled it back and forth real gently until it worked the thing off the table. I need to fix a nick or two, but those were caused by other less successful methods. |

| So my wife called me at work today and offered to bring me lunch. I declined. I was in the middle of something that had to be done ASAP and my schedule could not accommodate her. After the job was done I decided to tease her a little bit and sent her a text. Unbeknownst to me, I sent it not only to my wife but to the Parks and Recreation Director as well. This was the text I sent: Sorry about lunch. I was in the middle of fixing a pump that had to be done by the end of the day. I had no wiggle room in my schedule. We can do some sexting if you want. :p He responded: Don’t know what you’re talking about. Sounds bad. |
One of the kids didn't close the fridge all the way last night. Now I have to eat a little of everything and see if it makes me sick.  No really. |
| Oh wow. Compliment and complement are two different words. Steve is now smarter. Thank you Microsoft Word and your little blue, squiggly line.  |
| Earlier today, one of our car doors got away from one of our girls while she was getting into our car. The door struck the car next to ours and left a significant mark on their door. I gathered up our insurance info and headed back inside the restaurant we had just exited, hoping that the owner of the damaged vehicle was not inside the grocery next store. I begged permission from the restaurant manager to query her guests as to who owned the gold Buick outside, and she was obliging. I found them straight away, a kind lady eating brunch with two equally polite friends. I told her our trouble and gave her my information. She was grateful for our honesty, surprised even. I was glad for her kindness and understanding. Then we parted. I called my insurance company and made my claim. I used my landline, as my cell was charging. Later, I plugged my cell into my laptop hoping to retrieve a silly picture of a leaf bug clinging to my shoulder. I thought I’d use it for inspiration or some other purpose. I then discovered that I had a voicemail waiting. I called it and found that it was from the nice lady from the restaurant. In her message, she told me that her husband had rubbed out the mark and that I needn’t involve the insurance company nor should I scold my children. I, by the way, had minimized any scolding as I could have done more to prevent this incident myself. I applied more effort in praising the child for telling me about the incident versus hiding it, as she could have done. I called the nice lady back and thanked her for her kindness and understanding. I told her how nice it was to encounter such wonderful people, and we said goodbye. I informed the children about the call, so that I might reinforce the benefits of doing right and being honest, of being kind and encountering those who are. When this event unfolded, I had thought my day ruined. But now, having upheld was is right, I may look back on this day with warmth and a smile. |

So are advice and advise which is another one that seems to be muddled up a lot. And loose and lose.
