Fuck you, modem. Fuck you, asshole who put the S/N on a sticker in a place where it would get worn away, using ink that wears off, so there was no way to tell if it was eligible to be replaced for free. $80 might not be a big deal these days, but it’s still $80 I could have spent on something else.
One of my least favorite things about winter. Thanks for reminding me to be careful about smiling when I first wake up. Ugh.
I’ll trade you reaching high shelves for being able to easily find clothes that fit off the rack or can be cut to do so. Better yet: team up to get shorter shelves and a Tall section for women’s clothing.
Scaled down for *small *hands, please, unless you’re implying that my hands belong to someone else. I’ve had no problems using shears like those, even as a teenager.
Hey, now, all of *my *suggestions are perfectly reasonable. **Morella **is just a fucking troll. (For evidence, see the “The Tea Party is not socially conservative my ass” thread, where she says that “gays should pay for their own AIDS,” Obama is not a citizen, all women used to love sexual harassment, calls Muslims “diaperheads,” and makes sequential claims to being of Middle Eastern descent and strictly European.)
Check the smaller size here and here. A search on “pruning shears” will turn up a number of other sizes if none of these is good for you. If you haven’t run across them before, Lee Valley is a marvellous source of gardening and woodworking tools, and there is a branch in Calgary.
I wasn’t calling you an interfering control freak; I was calling the guy I was talking about in the paragraph after my comment to you. But if the shoe fits…
Okay, Man Hands. Seriously, you must have HUGE hands - my hands are large for a woman, and I can barely reach both arms of the secaturs I can find around here with one hand.
Six feet tall, and all of me is scaled appropriately. (Including ego, natch.) From the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger is just shy of 7.5", and if I spread my hand as far as it will go, it’s about 8.5" from tip of thumb to tip of pinkie. According to the ruler I just pulled out of my desk, anyway.
They must sell some freakishly large pruners there in Calgary. I just tried all five sets we’ve got lying around here. My hands are smaller than both 'Guns and jsgoddess, (7in from base of palm to tip of finger, and 7.5inches from pinkie to thumb with hand stretched wide) and I have no trouble one-handing any of my pruners.
Ugh, husband. No, YOU call the body shop to double check that the truck is ready to pick up this afternoon. YOU are the one picking it up and YOU are currently at home, not working. I am at work, busting my ass off to get ready for a big audit next week. I don’t have time to be your f*cking secretary.
Neither can I. What’s up with that? They make women’s shoes in a wide range of sizes, yet they seem to assume that our fingers can’t possibly be longer than, oh, two inches or so.
Okay, you’ve got me all curious - my hands are 7" from base of palm to tip of middle finger, and 7 1/2" from pinkie to thumb.
jsgoddess, I’m 5’6" with size 10+ feet too, but I have a long, lovely wingspan. I think my husband calls them “monkey arms.” I know he calls my feet skis - I’m not sure how he stays upright on those stubby little things of his.
I think they must, from the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger doesn’t even measure a full 6" but I’ve never had any issues with using pruning sheers.
Huh, maybe the ones available here are larger - I can get my fingers on both arms, but if I want to bear down with strength, it gets difficult. Maybe I just have weak hands (but I doubt it - all I do is garden and type).
In three minutes we will be in hour seven of non-stop screaming (screaming, not yelling or shouting) from across the street where I assume they are having a party for one of their kids. They set up a jumper in their driveway at 2 pm and the screams (not yell, not shouts) have not stopped since.
