I finally had to breakdown yesterday and get a new phone. The cracks on the screen I could live with, but then my phone was like it had a gremlin (or David) in it. The screen would start changing, moving, change sizes ect without you even touching it.

Hooray! Finally. Now if only you could get a new laptop.

I just told my wife what I said yesterday and her reply was " Mr Clean Magic erasers "

I tried that. Didn't work.

You have to remember...I moved here from a house that had a built in electric range with a tile backsplash and an exhaust hood. So when I started cooking on the free standing electric range, and no exhaust hood, it never occurred to me that the wall behind the stove was getting splashed with drops of grease. So the drips sat there and dried out. The other day the light hit the wall just right and I could see all these hundreds of drops stuck on the wall, and they had been there for such a long time that they have hardened. I tried spraying with Mr. Clean and letting it sit there to soften them, but no, that didn't work. I tried scrubbing them with Mr. Clean's magic eraser, no. I tried scouring them with a green plastic pot scrubber, no. They seem to be stuck to the wall for the duration.

It sucks I'm at work . Ha-ha everything is good .

Yeah, right. From what I've read on here, your "work" consists of you sitting in your truck while the worker bees run around outside doing all the physical stuff!

Paint the wall and put up a back splash that will work .

I'm really having a hard time getting going this a.m. It's already almost 9a and I'm still sitting here in my P.J's. The sky is overcast, so no sun shining. I guess that's making me lazy.

Me, I'm not being lazy today. Though not too super productive either. I've loaded a Waylon Jennings LP on my new phone it's the, “Ultimate Waylon Jennings" LP. 22 songs close to perfection for this here saddle buster.

I've found that this isn't a problem when you don't have a stove.

Meh, I guess it depends on the person but I don't think it's a glamorous as it seems. Any type of managerial/supervisory work is basically babysitting grown peoples. Biggest difference is that they have worse attitudes and are more entitled than children.

Suppose to get the daughter's old one, but now they aren't sure if is broken or just the wrong powercord. I just need to steal it and take it into a repair shop.
