If you're curious if a pan that's been in the oven for an hour is hot the answer is yes.

I am an idiot.

oooh- all three names- that is SO not a good sign.. and when they stretch each word out? even worse!

So true!

and then there's THAT LOOK. the one that goes straight through you and makes you feel two feet tall

My mother had The Eyebrow. Once the eyebrow went up, there'd better be some behavior improvement immediately.

ooooh. I fail in the evil look department. *sulks*

Oh, me too. Nobody's scared of me.

But you don't have munchkins. Shouldn't there be some sort of 'how to squint just so and get your kids to shut up and obey' sort of manual somewhere?

There really, really should. *nods*

of course such a manual has great potential for evil as well. think of all the ways to misuse it?

True...

there are some skills that the masses should not have access to

You know what skill I want? The pick-the-fastest-line-at-the-store skill. *nods*

omg yes, as opposed to my typical skill of pick-the-line-where-the-cashier-can't-scan-a-thing-correctly

Mine today was pick-the-line-where-everybody-wants-to-argue-about-prices. Pick-the-line-where-you-need-the-supervisor-constantly. *sigh*

oh yes, and then there's the line where the person waits to find their checkbook until the cashier's all done and then asks 5x what the ammount was and if she can write the check for over that... or the wait a minute I forgot the whatnot line...

Yes! Especially to the forgot-and-have-to-go-get-stuff. I've seen blessedly few check-writers in the last few years.

true- they are a dying breed. It's checkcards and credit cards these days. what would we do without those lovely cards?

I love my debit card. Well, I love my credit cards for emergencies.

I use credit card instead of a debit card, but it's great- i don't need to worry about carrying around cash and I can earn $$ back

I loved my credit cards more when I wasn't running a balance on two of them. Ah, well, I'll get caught up eventually.

ah- yes that could be a problem. I'm a terrible tightwad, I always pay it off in full

I never used to carry a balance on them. And then I was out of a job for a good long while. I'll get them paid off, though.

no income could be a problem, considering you still need things like food and housing and whatnot.

I was lucky- although there's been periods on unemployment we had decent savings to fall back on and I can make the most out of a very little bit of money.

I'm sure you'll get it paid off. You;re responsible like that

I am very responsible with money. Normally. I dunno, in my family, we spent it when we had it and didn't when we didn't. My dad worked contract, mostly, a few months at a time. He made good money, and he usually went straight from one job to another, but sometimes it didn't work out that way.

That's good, though, that you can make the most out of a little money. That's definitely a good thing to be able to do.

it helps that I never really got into shopping or anything.. but I didnt really have a choice. Got pregnant right after getting married and I was too sick to work and hubby had difficulties finding anything decent. Luckily we'd saved all the $ we got as presents instead of blowing it on a honeymoon, but I hated the thought of going through it quickly so I learned how to make it last. It wasn't until we'd been married 4 or 5 years that we eeked above the poverty line
