      I have friends who own and operate a flooring company and used to have an employee who swore up and down that an inch had 17 tick marks in it…(17/16).  They tried numerous times to explain you can't start and end on the inch mark...He didn't last very long.  😃

        yup

        never trust the end of the tape unless you've verified it

        Pretty common to "burn an inch" on any sort of rule and start measuring at the 1" marker. Just have to remembered to subtract at the end.

            Are there any of those leather 20 year key fobs left over from the party? I really want one! Maybe with my next order?

                  We have a friend who is very senior in the army and Paula and I have been invited to Horse Guards Parade on Monday for the queen' funeral.

                  I sent her a note this morning….

                  Understand we have invited to the ceremony on Monday, unfortunately, I will be in Morocco until the following week.  Any chance of postponing until I am back?  If not, I understand, but thanks anyway....G

                  The answer was no......FFS

                            I was watching Gomorrah on the trip over last night. There was a comment that hit home to me about the wanton destruction of our planet. It was in relation to farmers taking bribes to bury hazardous waste on their land.

                              I love when UPS bullshits their delivery especially when ppl are home, door wide open with everyone able to look past the screen door, and claim they can’t deliver bc no one was home.

                                @RoxRocks86  I didn’t think it could be physically possible, but I think we must have the same UPS driver.  Happens to me all the time, and the best excuse for a missed delivery was the driver couldn’t find my physical address even though they deliver here every couple of weeks for various items.

                                It happened to me again today where they claimed to attempt delivery…I work from home, office is on the driveway side of the house, and I have a camera setup for the driveway…

                                    My eyes rolled back to far reading your post they probably ended up in Canada.

                                    Certainly wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case!

                                    Ended up redirecting my package to the nearest UPS store where i live. It contained the IH 20th anni denim and lighter. Apparently the driver marked my package unnamed even though it was on the shipping label and marked it undeliverable  ::) good thing the UPS store workers in my area see me enough to know my last name and gave me the run down of what happened.

                                      Can't see whatever I'm trying to look directly at for an hour or two... having to rely on peripheral vision while working at my computer is a PITA. Then I'll have a banging migraine later...

                                      It's like this, in case you've never had one. If I look at the old man's right eye then the visual disturbance maps almost perfectly onto the image. It's a massive blind spot which looks all glitchy and weird as your brain tries to predict the missing information and fill in the blank:

                                      The human body is a very imperfect machine…

                                      Take the dive...

                                        UPS suck. Last time I dealt with them was my Simmons Bilt jacket, I think. The guy knocked on my door while I was coming home from walking the dog. I was about 20m away and started shouting "I'm here, one sec" but within a breath of trying my door he just got back in his van and drove off. Even if I'd been in I'd have missed him, but there's no way he didn't hear me shouting.

                                          The funny thing is UPS is here in Austria the most reliable deliverer… we do quite often have problems with DHL: "Couldn't find your address" in our large office building with our 3sqm practice sign in front of it ::)

                                            Same here in Germany, UPS very much superior to DHL. DHL is so unreliable that I always detour them to a shop across the road. Otherwise they don‘t show up and bring it to a pickup place at the other side of town. UPS instead always works fine.
