We have rolls of paper towels in the kitchen cupboard on the top shelf. Tall person puts them there, then goes away, so when I need a new roll I spear it with the yardstick through the tube.
Yardsticks also help adjust curtains when you don’t want to tug on them or climb the ladder.
Yardsticks can give you that exalted feeling of being a tool user, in places where a whip or a gun just aren’t appropriate.
Don’t blame me. I saw where society was going a month ago regarding this show and decided to join in. It really is a work of art.
i eschew band wagoneering of any sort.
I was in from the beginning.
And yes, it’s a masaterpiece.
I would not have sampled it if it wasn’t for the public buzz about it.

Well for what it’s worth, the Bears will be rolling into town Sunday night, fresh of two come from behind 4th-quarter victories. They were fun, for sure - but good freakin’ luck trying to pull that crap off at Heinz Field.

she could find nothing under there, and thankfully they have moved on.
