Yep, I hear that!

When I was a kid I had to go spend 10 days at my grandparents house because I had some sort of communicable childhood disease that they didn't want my three younger siblings to catch (or, at least that's what they told me).

My grandmother was always baking something (pies, cookies, cake and stuff like that - that I had to eat).

My grandfather made me eat all kinds of stuff (like oatmeal) smothered in malted milk, real cream, brown sugar and dates.

I gained 25 pounds on 10 days - went from 30 to 55 pounds.

It's a conspiracy to make us buy extra stuff. Assholes.

I’d be kinda nice to not have a rats nest of wire when trying to replace all the fixtures, outlets, and switches.

It's also why I haven't remodeled my kitchen. I would end up gutting it to the studs, which would carry over to the living room, which flows into the hallway...

I know my contractor friend that did my SJ house puts it under Pergo and other flooring all the time. He asked me if I wanted it in my master bathroom, says it's really cool, but I declined since california, and electricity there is about $500/kwh.

I can ask him about it, and what product they use if you like?

If I ever tear out my master bathroom here, I'm putting it in.

Well, we are a few weeks into baseball season and I still haven't decided if I'm buying the MLB package this year. I just hate that both leagues have a DH now. I like real baseball where everyone bats. It's all money. The owners and MLB don't think they make enough money, and think hits sell tickets, and are willing to change the game anyway they can to make more money.
