  1. When you bring home food (leftovers, take out, groceries), LICK IT ALL before putting it away.

    Leave a bit of leftover food (something with a bit of meat or milk, low in acid, moist) in an open container in a prominent place. Tell your roommate it's part of an important class assignment and s/he ABSOLUTELY CANNOT throw it away. (Live with the smell.) When it gets so bad that it "mysteriously" disappears, hold a wake.

    Keep a "Progress" calendar that you check off each day you didn't seriously injure, maim, or kill someone. Be sure to leave some days unmarked.

    Remove their shoelaces. If possible, while they're still wearing the shoes.

  2. After trying the nice, try-to-keep-cabinets-intact way, we got out the mallets and started real demo on the wall & ceiling cabinets.

    End result: The drywall won't require major repairs, no fires, no major injuries (nails to the shoulder don't count, right?), only one minor case of electrocution (turns out the vent hood wasn't on the same circuit), and a few splinters and split skin instances.

    My only real thought when it was done?

    It was a lot better than I expected ... Now what's going to go wrong on the rest of the remodel - because I live by Murphy's Law. :P

  3. Shallow thoughts:

    I'm the reason the rum is always gone.

    It wasn't a design flaw but a physics fail.

    To amuse me is your purpose in life.

    Non sequiturs do not follow, logically.

    Two wrongs don't make a right, but 3 lefts do.

    It might've happened differently, but it didn't.

    I should go to bed. Nah.

  4. Mason Jars, also commonly known as glass canning jars, jam jars, fruit jars, & Ball jars

    All of them are now made by the same company in the U.S.

    Used mainly to hold & preserve foods, especially fruits & vegetables ("canned")

    Made of transparent glass to see the contents. Free Masons - often considered a secret fraternity/organization.

    Ball & Kerr (pronounced like car, but often mispronounced as 'care') are common U.S. brands of mason jars.

    Many people enjoy home canning, but it requires you to follow careful rules.

    Mason jars are used for canning in order to preserve foods.

    Air is removed during processing (creating an anaerobic environment)

    Modern jars use screw-on rings/bands that are reusable (until they get rusty, fyi)

    and flat lids with a sealant to keep the vacuum

    Ball State University, named for the Ball brothers of Ball Canning fame

    David Letterman, famous alumnus of Ball State, late-night comedy

    And the title? Maison - i, Raj reversed = Mason Jar

  5. You got me. =P

    EDIT: But I totally put Thalia in the Solved poll.

    D'oh.

    HAHAHAHAHA! No worries. :lol:

    But I seriously needed that laugh. (FYI, writing an employee training manual from scratch is boring as heck!) :P

    Better luck next year. :)
