You know how sometime spots of toothpaste dry up stuck to your bathroom sink? If you carefully remove them with a spackle knife, they make excellent after dinner mints.

:rotflmao:

Good idea for a thread. Hopefully we can stay on track.

Okay... my advice is whenever you are caulking a sink or tub (or anything really), apply your bead and then wet it down with WD-40 before you smooth it. The results will amaze you

Does it still dry the same? I would think that would have an effect on how it cures no?

In the washington Area - you can ride on the Dulles Toll road and be a single driver on I-66 IF you are doing "Airport busniess".

Meaning if you are downtown and have a flight to catch, you can ride by your self on I-66 to VA.

even better -If you get a cup of coffee at the gas station at Dulles airport, you can take the Access road and I-66 all the way into the City in the middle of morning rush hour traffic.

Not at all. But really, the results are amazing. (I only use it with silicone caulk)

Okay, other pieces of advice, of the travel variety:

-never touch a hotel bedspread

-never drink from hotel glasses

-if you want to enjoy hotel continental breakfast without having to sit amongst the unwashed heathen, your room's coffeemaker will always be sitting on a tray. Use that tray to go to the lobby, load up with breakfast, and return to your room.

-your cellphone will sometimes erase the magnetic strip on your room key. Always keep your roomkey in a different pocket than your cell phone.

-always request a room away from the icemaker or elevator

-never eat the food in airports, unless you absolutely have to. Trust me, it will suck, even if it looks good.

and finally, many are tempted to request an exit row when they fly (for added legroom). What this ensures is that you'll be sitting next to a great big 400 lbs fatty who has requested the exit row as well. Don't do it. Sit in a regular seat, thank me later.

You need to ask for the receipt for the coffee in case you get stopped by the police. The receipt is your proof that you did "airport business."

"Never ask a question you don't really want to know the answer to."

Think about whether you're really sure you want to know the answer to that question before you ask it. Especially when asking a member of the opposite sex or anyone in your direct family or circle of friends.

I had no idea about that one and I will think of you from now on when I remember it.

I did know the icemaker and elevator one from experience. :doh:

and being 6'3" I usually get the exit row and end up next to the fatty. but the good news is they usually smell like bacon..:laugh:

Normally I'm with you on this one. However I recently tried an Italian Panini from a little stand in the A terminal of National Airport. Got to tell you it was a damn good sammich. So if you are ever at that location, give one a try.
