    Yeah, I know where you're coming from. I married one. Divorced him. Now I try to avoid them...but the dam things keep showing up on my back porch.

      Just to clear up any confusion. I was referring to actual members of the Suborder Serpentes, not members of Homo sapiens that just act like 'em. And by sleep, I meant shared my bed for brief instants, not anything weirder than that.
      I enjoy being wrong too much to change my mind.

        To remove the coils from cables. Hang from a tree or down a stairwell with a couple of kilos weight attached to the bottom overnight. Next morning it will lie flat.
        To coil a cable: do the first coil in your hand the way you normally would, the next coil apply a twist with your fingers so when you lay that coil in your hand the cable passes inside/underneath the previous. This way each coil has a twist opposite the previous and when thrown out, each coil counters the other and the cable will lie flat.
        see this link for over/under cable coiling techniques

              Oh good, so I was not the only one sitting here in front of my laptop with my hands trying to envision how to recoil something. LoL

                  Whenever I hire someone as a stagehand I read their resume, ask a couple of questions and then give them a cable to coil. If they can't do that, no job.

                    and all I had to do was take a drug test and some sort of IQ test

                    I'd have been screwed had they handed me a cable and told me to coil it. lol

                        does anyone know how to reset the garage key pad password? (without actually knowing it) I have a liftmaster garage opener. I have tried putting in the 9999 possible combinations without success(must have missed some). I moved into my new house any the previous owner didnt know either.
                        I would think there is some sort of default code that would allow you to change the combo. Worse comes to worse call the manufacturer or the company that installed it.

                        • I hate Jetlag. I really, really do.

                          • Remebering a prop plane ride over the sea of Ireland with alot of turbulance enroute to Amsterdam. Felt like a mosquito against a jet engine. Worst plane trip I ever had.

                              A MATS flight from Hamburg to the US with a hangover. A C-130 flight from Tinker to Panama. I still can't decide which was worse. :)

                              • I've never really had a very unpleasant flight due to turbulence or anything else. I've had some long, uncomfortable ones, but never anything other than that.
