There are long-handled dryer vent brushes. Usually if you clean the lint trap every load, not a lot of lint gets into the vent. (Right now, I need to clean out the outside vent on my dryer, because lint gets in the wire cover designed to keep the rats out. It's a three-minute job, if I would just walk out the door with a phillips screwdriver.)
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Vortex, thank you.
When I was in college, I wore black leggings, black turtlenecks, and then an oversized men's blazer over the top. Which I guess is like wearing leggings as pants. I guess I wouldn't wear them without something covering my butt and crotch areas. But they used to be thicker than tights.
Hey, that was me in my senior year of high school! With additional black lace shawls tied around my hips.

Liese, thanks for sharing that MIT link!
You're welcome! I hope she does it!
MIT has a lot of classes on-line. You don't get credits for them, but the geek in me is all "Who the fuck CARES!! WOO!"
Yeah, but this is different. It's the pilot for their new MITx program. It's a regular class, with interaction with the teacher and the other students, online labs, all kinds of stuff. When it goes full, you'll need to go into a test center and everything to get the certificate (still not the same as the degree stuff, but much closer) and prove your id and all. For this one you don't have to. Starts March 5th.

Y'all, my parents gave me a Sodastream Penguin for my birthday. I just now unpacked it and tried it out and it is even cooler than I though. Yay!

now I'm emptying out my hot water heater to flush out the debris at the bottom. It's supposed to be done every year
Ooh, fun! I love my sodastream, but it's not as pretty as the Penguin!
ETA: Clearly the WRONG quote. :)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Meara-- that was the funniest wrong cut-and-paste ever!
