I know what you mean. I have worked 2 jobs, 60-58 hours pr. week, 6 days pr week, for over a year now. I hope I appreciate 40 hours a week when I finally quit my p.t. job.
What are you teaching?
Also, check out kerrywaffles.net which provided this and other interesting links, some of which you may have already seen.
Marilyn Monroe would like to wish you a Happy Birthday too!
What are you teaching?
It's an intro to managerial accounting class.
Happy Birthday!
Even though I started it three years ago, my plant isn't very big. It's not big enough to flower yet. My dad has his and my grandma's, and they are both huge. They form the bright pink waxy flowers.
Now I need to find a picture of the fat plant and the euphorbia...
The first practical can opener was developed 50 years after the birth of the metal can. Canned food was invented for the British Navy in 1813. Made of solid iron, the cans usually weighed more than the food they held! The inventor, Peter Durand, was guilty of an incredible oversight. Though he figured out how to seal food into cans, he gave little thought to how to get it out again. Instructions read: "Cut round the top near the outer edge with a chisel and hammer." Only when thinner steel cans came into use in the 1860s could the can opener be invented. The first (patented in 1858), devised by Ezra Warner of Waterbury, Connecticut, looked like a bent bayonet. Its large curved blade was driven into a can’s rim, then forcibly worked around its edge. Stranger yet, this first type of can opener never left the grocery store. A clerk had to open each can before it was taken away!
The modern can opener, with a cutting wheel that rolls around the rim, was invented by William Lyman of the United States in 1870. The only change from the original patent was the introduction of a serrated rotation wheel by the Star Can Company of San Francisco in 1925. The basic principle continues to be used on the modern can openers, and it was the basis of the first electric can opener, intorduced in December 1931. Pull-open cans, patented by Ermal Fraze of Ohio, debuted in 1966.

I really liked your photo of the Swift Boats operating together.Thanks. I took that pic to my PhotoDeluxe and fixed it up.
Temper your Waffle Iron
“Tempering" your waffle iron will prevent sticking. Here's how to do it!
In 1869, Cornelius Swarthout got tired of eating pancakes and invented the waffle iron. Ever since, man has labored to make the perfect waffle, but often his attempt at perfection sticks when the iron is opened and self destructs before it can be buttered and lathered in syrup. The key word to remember is "temper" -- not yours or mine, but the waffle iron’s. Both inner surfaces need to be tempered with heat and cooking oil to prevent sticking. First, brush cooking oil on both inner surfaces. Then coat pieces of bread with oil and place them inside, covering the entire surface. Then heat until the bread is golden brown. The bread holds the oil against both surfaces until the oil solidifies and bonds. That’s “tempering; it prevents sticking. And that's the On The House tip for today.

Those shoes must not be TOO bad if only your feet hurt!
; )
Oh, thank you. Very nice.
hehehe...I only developed 1 blister this time. ;)
Ping to 168 and 171
When I wear shoes I KNOW will cause a blister, I put a bandaid on the spot BEFORE I wear the shoes. Seems to work.
I can't find pictures of the euphorbia or the fat plant. I'll have to get the scientific names when I go home this weekend. I have them written down somewhere. When my uncle gave me the plants, he gave me the scientific names. LOL!
I did that. LOL! Except the bandaids started flopping around underneath my pantyhose. So I had to take them off. Is that TMI?
How was your class?
LOL! Sorry to hear that, it sometimes works that way for me too! Maybe it's time to buy some shoes that won't cause blisters, etc. (unless of course those are new shoes that are being broken in.)
(TMI?)
