Fuzzy Brain

My brain feels fuzzy today. Sluggish. So I am going to regal you with some fairly useless information.
*I need a dictionary. I am using a Scrabble dictionary. While my vocabulary is still stagnant, my husband better watch out because I am memorizing the Q without U words. Also, I now know several Z words.
*We got a free sample size of lady's shaving cream with our Sunday paper. I was really excited. Maybe a little too excited. My kids thought maybe we had won some grand prize. Really my husband was the winner. I shaved.
*It is official. We need a new roof. It took a hit with the 'Ike' winds and the winds last week finished it off.
*We need to have work done on the van. Coolant leakage. Radiator crude. The mechanic suggested we not take any long road trips. Great.
*I have been trying to figure out how people 'cross-out' words in their posts. Stumped. Anyone?
*My brain is moving so slow today that even this list feels like a chore.
I am going to go move my body, and hopefully wake up the brain.

  3. I have wondered this as well so I Googled it. Here is the answer:

    In html, you use the letter "s" inside the tag marks (less than and greater than signs) before and after the text you want to cross out.

    example: less than sign, s, greater than sign, text, less than sign, backslash, s, greater than sign.

    I tried it myself by posting to my own blog and it works....you learn something new every day!

  4. Listen, we had a leak in our coolant system too. It was a cracked internal manifold somethingbleh? Anyway, one place quoted us about $2500 to get it fixed, and another place only charged us about $750. Granted, my check engine light is still on, but that's a big freaking difference. So, DEFINITELY get a few estimates. And maybe go to local shops -- that is who ended up giving us the lowest price.
