Greetings from I-5 southbound, 60 mph, somewhere south of Sacramento. Can't believe the cellphone modem hasn't dropped, the way it does in the house...

"No such thing as a woman underdressed!" -- Irish Thatcherite
Let me see if I can clarify these statements. "Especially during hot weather, it is simply not possible for a woman to be underdressed -- unless she has forgotten her smile."

Thanks Darksheare, I'll check out that link.
I found it very interesting that the last link said one has to acknowledge an industrial use before they would ship.
I wonder why?
BTW,I spelled acknowledge right, all on my own.
My Dad would be so proud. :-)

Cool!
They ship to Canada. I'm going to have to try this stuff.
If it works like you say, it would solve a lot of conundrums.

My father used to get the stuff because it worked for elevator repairs.
I'd had it work when WD-40 didn't, so it is good stuff.
Though there are situations where it takes a bit of time before it works its magic.

LOL!
True.
However, I have noticed that some women types FEEL underdressed when a guy carrying an art pad wanders too close.

it is simply not possible for a woman to be underdressed Speak for yourself, Bob.
99% of women who stepped outside naked probably wouldn't survive long. It'd be like putting a magnet in a can of nails!
Observe.

That is the power of women.
If women figured it out en masse, they could -dare I say it- rule over man.

Thanks!
My first step would be to replace the ailing Space Shuttle program with a redesigned shuttle which is quite a bit larger, and uses Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactors to generate Rocket thrust using ordinary materials like water and carbon dioxide.
This would give single-stage to orbit capability, and would also complete the vision of quick turn-around for the shuttles.
For those concerned about re-entry danger, I would recommend not using aerobraking as the primary re-entry method.
Preserving enough reaction mass to slow the presumably empty shuttle from orbital speed, and float down from space gently, the way Space-ship One, Burt Rutan's shuttlecock flier, did, would be well worth the cost of transporting the extra reaction-mass load.
The reactors would be built to withstand even a fiery re-entry without disintegrating. After all, that was one of the concerns about Mir -- that it wouldn't burn up. We saw, unfortunately, that many pieces of a craft do survive, and they can be designed to do so.
I would prove the technology by putting together a program to land a team of explorers on the moon and returning them to Earth, within five years! (See posts above for methodology.)
(If you don't think that's a cool program, let me tell you about ice!)

Not usually.
Besides, the only thing on my mind when I'm drawing is, "I hope I don't screw up the sketch."

You think maybe some have figured it out, some are weird 'cause they are in the limbo pre-Grock, and finally, those obvious ones who are totally clueless?

Honest truth, when I'm drawing, it is a totally different state of mind.

"...probably wouldn't survive long...." Well, I was speaking for myself. But if a woman wants to feel safe in stepping outside, I volunteer to act as escort. I volunteer Darksheare, too.
My swordplay needs a little practice anyway.
