I have cut down a 7' tall evergreen by hand.
Well, when one's lost, I suppose it's good advice to stay where you are until someone finds you. But who'd ever think to look for me here?

I can do needlepoint, counted cross-stitch, and hooked rugs. But I never learned to crochet.
I took flute lessons for a few months in Junior High School. The less said about that, the better.
I did indeed cut down an evergreen by hand. Took me three days, because I didn't own an axe or a chainsaw. I used hedge trimmers, a wire cutter and a bow saw. Also it's too bad that nobody warned me that once pine sap is on your shirt, it stays there forever.
Quiset, Esq., you're up again!

Earlier today, some friends and I were discussing actors we don't like.
I don't like Bruce Willis.
I don't like Owen Wilson.
I don't like Shia LeBoeuf.

I don't like Bruce Willis.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Bruce Willis has annoyed me ever since "Moonlighting". At least on that TV show, he poked fun at himself and everything else. Ever since then, he's played the ultra-cool, ultra-jock hero to boring seriousness. He's George Clooney sans charm.
Owen Wilson also annoys me. I don't think I've ever watched a movie of his all the way through, except for "Shanghai Knights," but that was because Jackie Chan was so much fun to watch. Wilson has the eternal surfer dude persona down pat -- which is fine if you like eternal surfer dudes.
One of my friends insists that the world would be a better place if Shia LeBeouf had never been born. I do not share his opinion; in fact, I have no opinion on LeBeouf since I've never seen any of his movies.
Take it away, cleome45.

I will never date again if I become single. Dating sucks and usually so do relationships.
One of these didn't happen:
1) Blind date. Goes tolerably, but then I accidentally leave my sketchpad in the backseat of his car. No matter how many times I call him, I never get the damn thing back.
2) Long-distance doomed from Day One "boyfriend" decides that Graduation Week is the perfect time to send me a "Dear Jane" letter. It arrives Graduation Day.
3) Otherwise promising series of dates: either the second or the third. I disremember. We go to see a well-known jazz pianist at the Symphony. My date gets mad at me for whistling when the pianist stands up to take a bow after the performance.

I feel for you, cle. I've never been married, and I think dating was pretty much invented to torture young people into staying away from each other.
All of those are wonderful horrible stories, but I'm going to vote for
2) Long distance doomed . . .

HWL, you should see the ones I didn't post. Anyway, I did have a date doze off next to me at the Symphony once. If he was mad at me, he kept it to himself, but needless to say there weren't any follow-up dates. deddy's up!

Man. We should all share stories, cleome and HWL. Most of my dates have gone decently or well. It's the relationships (excepting current one ) that turned sour!

I think disastrous relationships need their own damn forum, Dude. (Also, there's some stuff I wouldn't admit to without using a sock. ) for dedman!

Sorry for the delay everyone, my last cycle at work was pretty hellish, my plant was on the verge of crashing the entire time. So, my question will be based on that.
Which of these disasters didn't happen at one point during my cycle?
1. My tail gas incinerator tripped out and wouldn't reset. In the hour it was down I polluted 5 tons more than my legal limit.
2. My amine unit backflooded into the sump, which overflowed and required a hazmat cleanup
3. One of the exchangers sprung a leak, spraying liquid sulphur, which autoignited on contact with air.

I hate when this happens to me, so I hope it didn't happen to you.

1. My tail gas incinerator tripped out and wouldn't reset. In the hour it was down I polluted 5 tons more than my legal limit.
This did happen on my second night shift and Suncor will be paying quite a hefty fine. On my last night I spent around 2 hours being questioned by the higher ups about the incident (as per usual, the brass were looking for a scapegoat). Luckily I knew my proceedure perfectly and they could find no fault in my actions.
3. One of the exchangers sprung a leak, spraying liquid sulphur, which autoignited on contact with air.
This happened too. Liquid sulphur autoignites at around 450F and the exchanger runs hotter than that. Luckily there was someone working in the area who called it in. My coworkers and I had the fire out and the area made safe before the fire dept arrived.
2. My amine unit backflooded into the sump, which overflowed and required a hazmat cleanup
This almost happened but didn't. The amine was about an inch from the top of the sump when I discovered it and got it fixed.
You are up Quis.
BTW Cle, it wasn't singlehanded, I have a trainee who is REALLY good, plus the guy who trained me wasn't overly busy, so he chipped in when he could.
