Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Have a conference call with a client and an IRS agent coming up at 2:00 PM. Something went wrong and I know an easy fix. Wish me luck convincing the IRS agent that it is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 The Past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the Future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. The Past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the Future is, in all things, our friend. In the Past is no hope; The Future is both hope and fruition. The Past is the text-book of tyrants; the Future is the Bible of the Free.

inkman Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 I can't believe there is a thing called the hot water challenge. Since details have been pretty unclear as to anyone actually doing it outside of a "friend" doing it to another while sleeping, whether or not this is just fake news and the scare tactics of our media, I sincerely worry about humanity. Why is something this stupid in the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number one, I buy the cheap stuff (not the reallllly cheap stuff, I think it's called Extra. Number two, I don't see how it's possible to get 133 loads out of one jug. 133/200 ounces=1.5 ounces per load. That's three tablespoons. Number three, I just kind of dump it in until my arm gets tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is something this stupid in the news. I'm pretty sure people just think up these things randomly just to see if someone is stupid enough to try it. Someone with an overactive imagination pieces something together and it floats around on the internet for a while until someone gets bored. It's kind of like the mind-boggling physics you'll find if you search through random urban dictionary entries. On another note, I'm planning on getting my car inspected on friday, but then the check engine light turned on this morning. I can't tell if this is good timing or not.

Just pour the detergent into the cap of the bottle, dump the cap into the washer, and put the cap back on the jug. There's no need to rinse it out, the remnants will drip back into the jug.
