The girls from next door are dusting with Sara! And they actually cleaned her room reasonably well. I like this turn of events.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Why do I order more cross-stitch Christmas kits when I still have 10 more ornaments to make from the kits I already have?
Because (1) if you don't order them NOW, you might not be able to later and (2) you'll get to them ... and you can't resist.

I'm planning on having all my unfinished needlework projects piled on my pyre after I die. Something to do if the afterlife gets dull.

Doesn't it end up anti-lubricating over time, though?
If something really needs lubricating (Stop that! I'm talking about metallic moving parts here.) of the long term, I use a silicone spray, but WD-40 will unstick most things and prevent corrosion for a while, which is why it's a basic tool. The real problem is that list guy is clearly not an actual handy person.
Sumi, that's terrible.

Sixty percent of [the tray tables, across all of the planes] tested positive for MRSA.
AAARGH.

At antique shows there would often be piles of quilt squares that had been sewn together but never made into a quilt. My mother - queen of the unfinished project - threatened to leave hers for my sister and I to deal with. (I don't think she ever actually pieced a square; as far as I can remember, the furthest she got was buying fabric - lots of fabric - and cutting out a few pieces.)

MRSA is everywhere. The number of people with community-acquired MRSA is growing rapidly.

We're going to have a skeleton crew for the rest of the day.. . but I get to leave at 1 pm.
Which is excellent for me because I haven't' packed and I'm catching a train tonight. (Just to Chicago and then to Evanston - going to my brother's house for Thanksgiving.)
It's going to be weird, isn't it? Although I think that the weird intermediate headspace I go into when I have to travel will mean that I get to my brother's house and I'll have compartmentalized. (It was weird running out and getting a birthday card for my niece.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
prevent corrosion for a while
What I'm getting from the comments is that "a while" is really short, so it shouldn't really be used as a lubricant, just as an unsticker. And you should use a real lubricant as soon as possible afterwards. Sound fair?
I'm assuming he's nothing special handywise, because I have everything he talks about, and I'm nothing special handywise. The comments were more informative.

Wow. Okay, interesting. Poor kid.
