So, that's where that electrical burning smell is coming from. Wafting downwind here to Fla.

Luv, I had to look up 'set it and forget it' to see what that was. If it's the Ronco Rotisserie Oven, it's a fail. Here's what Corkey said about it:

Do not hate! I'm actually considering buying a pair of those for work, since I have to wear sneakers at work anyway.

Of course, I am delusional and convinced that in a week I will have an ass like Jennifer Lopez. Which, you know, is what I want.

I read an article about them recently, betenoire, and some are better than others at building up the glutes. I'll see if I can find the article for you, so you can give J Lo a run for her money.

Rats, I haven't found the article, yet. These Curves Toning Trainers have gotten really good reviews. One reviewer said she noticed a difference in her calves in a matter of days. Apparently, you can get them only through Avon, though. I don't know about you, but I have to try shoes on before buying them.

I had to tell him to wait a while before we do it...

Call a plumber. I've installed a few irrigation systems, one on a golf course. There is no special training to maintain or install them. Only special equipment to install them.
A sprinkler co. is going to be the most expensive fix, next probably a full service landscape co. I think I would give a plumber a shout out. It can't hurt. (actually, I think I would look for a retired plumber who does "odd"/side jobs.)

Everyone that I've asked who has them says they work. They are supposed to improve your balance as well as using up to 28% more of the gluteus maximus and to a lesser degree, the hams.

I don't think they are ugly per say, but they aren't exactly cute either.

OK, it's early am, 2000.. I just get home from work and my then g/f and I are watching TV at 6am.. A comersial for this new and AWESOME product comes on.. We watch and she wants to get it.. We go back and forth, me saying that I don't care, I don't shave my legs, she is indesisive.. THEN the timer starts.. We'll get a free gift, but ONLY if we call in the next 15 minutes.. Yes, she ended up calling and getting the stuff..

ummm.. When it came in, she tried it and is put to tears with the pain of every hair on her leg being ripped from the roots.. Of course, I've GOT to see what the big deal is.. Holy Mary and Jeebus.. I think I GREW nads from the pain!

Moral of the story? Don't get nadded..

I don't know how they would help someone improve their balance? It seems that as soon as they take them off they'd have trouble walking normally. (lord knows, we gotta keep Corkey and Wax out of 'em.)

Yeah, talk about rolling while black ... and Corkey would get busted for public drunkenness.

That is the truth, does not do well with walking, much less a straight line.
