The worst drinking game I ever played was seeing how long I could go without coffee.

Annie, yours made me think of this. I have a window blind on a front window that has wonky hardware. I have to wind up the blind by hand every time, which is mostly every night. That means lifting the blind out of the little metal slot first of course. Now, because I detest fooling around with window hardware of any kind, I've been winding the blind like this for a loooong time - I would say a couple years, maybe more. "I'll fix it tomorrow". Well, a week ago for some reason I grabbed the bottom and pulled down..........the window blind went up by itself ......and then I pulled it back down, I tried again, it rolled right up. So how long has the stupid thing been working? Look who's calling who/what stupid?

Happy Thanksgiving!
