Back to the health topic, so far I've avoided what pretty well everyone else became infected with.
We're down to one bed so I made my wife sleep on the couch for the past two nights.
It's working, I'm healthy. :up:

I ate the REAL wieners, the beef ones. Everyone else ate those veggie, turkey, chicken things.

She's staying on the couch until we move.
If not, I'll fake it, sit and watch her pack up the rest of the house. :biggrin:

Good plan! You can't do it right anyway so why try.

Did you check in the car?

That's where my daughter always leaves hers. (That's how it got stolen) :200:

Over packaging is getting out of hand. Received a shipment from Amazon last evening - just got around to opening this huge box that was left on my deck.

Ok - carton contained 4 items - 1 measured 15-1/4" x 3-7/8" x 1-5/8", 1 measured 4-3/4" x 4-3/4" x 1-5/8" and the other 2 measured 7" x 3-3/8" x 3/4".

One would think the carton they were shipped in would be the right size, right? Wrong! Frigging carton measured 40-1/4" x 11" x 3-3/4". Only good thing is I now have a good size carton for all the other boxes that will be broken down for recycling.

I know, eh! Can you imagine the extra cost?

I ordered a fuse for my dishwasher. The actual parts box was 1 inch by 1 inch by 4.

The Amazon box was huge.
