A lot of people say that. Especially when they really mean, “I read it up to this point but I have no idea how it changed so much!”
I appreciate that. I don’t know what it is–my roommate got me a peeler that looked ambidextrous, and I promptly took off a few layers of my own skin with it. I have trouble with non-electric pencil sharpeners. My new stove is against the wall on the left side, and even that gives me trouble. I’m all but hopeless.
You had toes? We had to use our stumps. And we were thankful for them!
I find a vegetable peeler to be perfect for all my left handed peeling purposes. When I was in college, I worked for a while at a library. The Head Librarian, while a nice guy was dumber than a box of rocks. I once told him that it’d be nice to have a left-handed typewriter to use. He actually put in a request for a left-handed typewriter. 
I turned the telephone at the circulation desk around backwards one day and told him it made it easier for me to answer it with my left hand. He didn’t buy my ploy about a left-handed date stamper though. Every once in a while all three of his brain cells would fire at once and he’d see right through me.
It’s entirely possible that I’m just defective. But are you even partially ambidextrous/ My right hand capacity consists of dialing a phone or changing the radio station while I’m driving, and that’s about it. If I think really hard about it before I start, sometimes I can turn a doorknob.
I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a rimshot.
Yeah, but I actually didn’t read it.
Hey swampy, I was reading the thread about the one guy killing his roommate because he didn’t replace the terlet paper, and immediately thought of you.
My husband is a local truck driver. The horror stories he tells of bad drivers! Every time I hear of an accident with an eighteen-wheeler I worry it’s him.
I can’t picture him exchanging recipes, though! Too funny.
I emailed that to my roommate, to let her know that she’d better watch herself.
Well, not replacing the terlet paper should be a crime worthy of severe punishment. Especially if you happen to be in my house and like know me at all, cause you know there’s at least two four-packs of terlet paper in the cabinet in each bathroom at any given time plus og only knows how much stashed away in that little storage room in the garage. There must always, always, always be plenty of terlet paper on hand. Have I mentioned before that I’m kinda obsessed with having lots of terlet paper on hand?
Drae I’m pretty much a lefty all the way here. I’d dang near kill myself trying to peel something with a knife but a veggie peeler I can handle.
Does Performance Plan in a corporate context have anything but negative connotations/meaning?
I don’t think it has any negative connotations. Example: Here at RPI we’re currently getting underway in what our wonderful school president calls The Rensselaer Plan. No one knows what it is, really, or what it’s supposed to do. (“That’s the beauty of it - it doesn’t do anything!”) But there you are.
Now, a 12-Step Plan …
It generally means you best straighten up yo’ bohunkus but fast anytime I’ve ever seen it or heard of it used in the corporate context.
Well, yeah, that’s exactly what I meant -I always thought it was kind of a precurser to getting fired, like saying: “You suck, we’re documenting that you suck, and you’ve got three months to un-suck yourself, or you’re fired.” Kind of a way to protect yourself from a wrongful term lawsuit.
I mean, being on a performance plan is never a good thing, right?
Bread’s rising. Should I make brownies? We’ve got a friend coming over tonight who’s really, really thin, and I’m always trying to fatten her up. Yes, brownies are a good idea.
Mr. Lissar says he’s taking it into consideration, scout. I’ll get back to you later today.
Yes. Brownies. Make many brownies and pass some thru the CD drive.
I am just the opposite. Veggie peelers drive me buggers. I have two knives I can use for peeling that work perfectly fine as long as you aren’t all anal about how much is peel and how much is veggie. Short attention span leads me not to give a crap.
Can you make the brownies with pecans? I love pecans. 
Ooh! I just remembered I have a brownie mix in my pantry. It only has walnuts, but that’s ok. I’m making them tonight. We’re having fried catfish and salad and brownies. Mmm…
Smitty --you’re not on a Performance Plan, are you? psssst: dont’ tell Harvard!
It doesn’t sound like a good thing at all.
I never did go to the store. My girlfriend called and we had alot to talk about. So, we had a 4 hour phone convo. I haven’t done that in about 20 years! My ear hurts, now.And I still don’t have food in the house. Ah well, I ate yesterday.
Parent Orientation Night at the HS tonoc. I hafta go for # 1 son. Maybe I’ll shop after, with all the single people…
