What if American Idol was a lifestyle?
For someone that wants a guide to life (as if the Douglas Adams library isn’t already enough), here’s a thought. Why not collect the various pieces of advice sent down from “on high” by the judges of American Idol.
It’s true; we shouldn’t accept that life is a pitchy place, with an endless bibliography of wrong song choices. There are some nuggets of wisdom along the way. You just have to adjust your actions to fit, and isn’t that the premise behind all great religions? I admit, the addition of Ellen to the bench has changed the timbre. What should you do with a citation like this one: They also said don’t mix sleeves with a blanket, but look at the Snuggie!
My new floor experiment is approaching the half way point. Measure, measure, cut, measure. I learned an amazing fact today, when I unpacked the brand new jigsaw that has been waiting for a job like this. Blades aren’t “one size fits all”. I had picked up a new package, yesterday, and couldn’t figure out why the blade popped out each time it came in contact with the laminate (the new floor doesn’t need wood to be a total success).
This isn’t my first jigsaw, and I believed that things were simple. Not so. After checking out the sample blade included with the saw, I now know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that there are various mounting systems. In fact, Google has given me the name I need to know: T shank. I’m going to have to return to the big box store and see if I can spot this different shank style. If not, back online and see what the world has to offer in my time of need.
