Blades, or regular style? Doubtless regular or you would have said rollerblades. Please disregard this post...
The 4 wheel ones. Blades are the "normal" ones to me since ive had 3 pairs growing up. Im a pro at those! Last time i tried the 4wheeled ones, i was in 8th grade (fell so many times i gave up). I feel like, im old enough and coordinated enough to give it another try. I even googled how to stop, too... I think i want to buy knee pads just in case, tho...
When I was growing up there were no rollerblades. They all had 4 wheels. The rollerblades were those fancy newfangled things that came along in the 80's and everybody using them wore crazy brightly colored clothes and had huge hair (at least the ones you saw on TV). And people who went from the 4-wheel skates to blades would twist their ankles all the time, if not break them! But then they were originally made for ice skaters to practice with when they can't get to the rink, so I guess that makes sense.
First Coof shot. Also coffee and other foodstuffs. I swear, either people are getting taller, or I'm getting shorter. The lady that checked me out at the dollar store was so tall, I swear her hip was at my shoulder height. (My theory, people are just getting taller, but it's more fun to think that the world is getting bigger and I'm not shrinking, just the illusion that I am.)
No, I have a little step stool, and if that isn't enough a 5 foot step ladder for the really high stuff.
@ 6'1 I'm the guy who always gets called in to get stuff off the high shelves. So when the floor needs sweeping I like to call in the short people (or as I like to call them Munchkins)—hey, they're closer to it!!
Not so much bought but might buy. This is probably a first world whinging thing. Our second/spare/backup car is 20 years old, relatively low-mileage but from that Japanese era in which rust prevention was a kind of joke. So the underside is rusted, as is a fender, and just to keep it street-legal in the sense of its catalytic convertor and exhaust will cost around $2500. So it would be, in the words of my trusted mechanic, "a halfway decent beater." Seems like a waste of money to me. And my inner consumer wants shiny new. I can afford a decent new car, but of course prices are sky-high right now and for the foreseeable future. So do I bite the bullet and do the best I can now, or hang on for some months until things settle down? I'm not out to get the very best deal, and don't mind paying a small premium. But it's a wrestling match between my prudent adult and my inner child.
I have a friend that was tall like you. He tried to use my head as an arm rest...lmfao. But yeah, I ask tall people to grab stuff off shelves at stores for me so I don't have to climb them
when i moved into my apartment, there was this annoying infestation of fruitflies flying around. so i tracked it to the kitchen on top of my refrigerator. I had to climb on the counter top and stand up to see what was up there.... blackened, mushy, moldy banana . ..... i dont even eat bananas......
Oh that's gross! But I know exactly what you mean. There's a few times I've been caught standing on the counter tops.
A similar debate is occurring in the Potvin household. Our cars have been paid for forever, are low mileage, haven't needed repairs in years, are relatively dinged and stained, but we live in fucking Providence, where any car is going to get dinged or scratched on every quarter panel every third day from now until Kingdom Come. My wife is beating the drum to get herself a new car, to which, I was like, that's fine, but you might as well take a hammer and a couple of cups of coffee to it before you drive it off the lot. Just so you won't be disappointed later.
To cover any legal culpability. CAUTION—Ice may be extremely cold!! Also, water is wet and the plastic edges of ice cube trays might cut you. Now you've been warned and can't legally sue us. Only it takes 6 pages of fine print to say all that in legalese.
Don't eat the trays. Don't lick the trays. Don't light the trays on fire. Don't attempt intercourse with the trays. Warning, ice is cold! Add a few more and multiply by 6 languages and you can get there.
Not sure. Apparently the conversion of water and electricity into ice is a devilishly complex process.
