I bought my house 12 years ago. 9 years ago I had a housewarming party. I plan on holding my second annual housewarming party this year. After I finally put up window treatments. And do the game room, including buying the pool table. You know, the one my parents gave me $$$ for as a housewarming gift. -D/a ---

> [@Mr.Accident](#): > > I got a scanner back in 08 with the full intention of scanning all of my moms pictures and storing them on dvds, flash drives, and a hard drive in order to have back ups. I got around to taking the scanner out of the box last week. Still haven’t hooked it up, much less started scanning everything. Same here!! Yesterday I took the box down from the closet shelf, again…, to give another attempt. ---

I havent washed my skillet since I made bacon. The last time I made bacon was pre-Thanksgiving 2011. ---

I first thought about suicide 40 years ago and have seriously considered it several times since then. Yet here I am. ---

In 2006, I made [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=382673): > [@me](#): > > When we bought our house several years ago, there was a wood pile out back that we never used – the wood looked a bit dodgy, so I planned on tossing it out some day rather than bring it inside for the fire. > I was out trimming bushes today and I noticed this: > > [Testament to my laziness](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v186/minor7flat5/laziness.jpg) > > Yes. That’s a mulberry tree, 4-6" at the base, growing up and around the offending wood pile. It isn’t exactly a sapling. > > [Here’s the tree](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v186/minor7flat5/laziness2.jpg) > > How embarrassing. Since 2006, the wood pile has remained, and the tree has fattened. It still remains. ---

I bought a copy of \*Watership Down \*sometime in the '70s. Still thinking about reading it someday. ---

I could’ve had a very small sapling in the time in which I should’ve been writing my paper. Or probably enough bamboo to make a drinking straw. ETA: **panache45** , you should definitely read _Watership Down_! Beautiful book! ---

> [@Whammo72](#): > > Last fall I didnt set back the clocks in the house… been meaning to for months. Now thanks to daylight savings time they are correct again! I stopped resetting my clocks about 10 years ago. I have one clock on my cable box that resets itself, and the clock on my computer does the same. All the other clocks have to fend for themselves. I would say they’re an hour off half the year, but that’s not true. Sometimes I have power outages, which results in the only other clock maintenance I do. I reset the time on my bedroom headboard clock because the numbers are large and bright and they blink constantly after an outage, which annoys me. And just in the time I’m writing this, I realized the next time I lose power I should just unplug the clock, which I will do it it isn’t too troublesome to push the bed out of the way to get to the outlet.
