Then they understand.<BR/><BR/>For example, I've [unintentionally] super glued my eyelids shut*. If you or anyone you encounter should do this, the emergency room will simply tell you that the super glue solvent can NOT be used on eyes, and the petroleum jelly must be used to break the bond down.<BR/><BR/>*I was not aware that the nozzle of super glue should be cleaned with a needle or small nail before every use. This prevents blockages, which can that cause the glue to squirt in directions other than the one intended- like an eye.<BR/><BR/>(Side note: my word verification for this comment [wevuhdg] was actually quite difficult. I had to stare at it at least 15 seconds before determining the correct order of the last three or four letters... and then it wasn't even right. What's with these COMPLEX word verifications? Couldn't they just have 5 letters instead of "kjjfqvmz"?)Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01593954363103557890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26065623.post-85204868962030481222007-02-13T19:19:00.000-05:002007-02-13T19:19:00.000-05:00lana.....?????lana.....?????Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591552551839152612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26065623.post-52852883199853943622007-02-13T18:41:00.000-05:002007-02-13T18:41:00.000-05:00no, I'M claire!!no, I'M claire!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26065623.post-49760879297794576742007-02-13T17:17:00.000-05:002007-02-13T17:17:00.000-05:00that was me. claire.that was me. claire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26065623.post-77736153616240537432007-02-13T17:16:00.000-05:002007-02-13T17:16:00.000-05:00i severely doubt that, at 91 years old, that is th...i severely doubt that, at 91 years old, that is the oldest winter carnival. someone is lying to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26065623.post-69495892308458600942007-02-13T01:51:00.000-05:002007-02-13T01:51:00.000-05:00good thoughts re: worldviewalso, if i recall corre...good thoughts re: worldview<BR/><BR/>also, if i recall correctly, 'to fly by the seat of one's pants' originated in aviation, where it meant to fly without using instrumentation.<BR/><BR/>this is not to be confused with 'fly-by-night', which means 'shady'. though i imagine many 'fly-by-night' organizations also 'fly by the seat of their pants'.Jonathan Lippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557944876386926855noreply@blogger.com
