A little help from my friends

First, I'm a little concerned that no one else was concerned that I slept with the windows open. Someone could have come in and killed me. Do you people not think of these things?!? Perhaps it's only me that obsesses over the idea of being butchered in my own bed as a result of leaving the windows open.
Second, I'm watching Jimmy Kimmel and he's pulling people off the street to be in a belly flop contest. Now, I would do something like that in a heartbeat. But I have to think that a LOT of people would NOT just stop what they were doing to take off and go be a spontaneous belly flopper.
Third, courtesy of JoeD, I now have a blacklight. I feel a little guilty about this, because it appears that he paid $15 for the light, and the only reason I wanted it was to search around for Stella pee from the Urination Outburst Rebellion of Early Summer 2006. But he suggested that I could also use it for my Halloween decor. Then it occured to me that he probably bought it from the Halloween merchandise that is already on the shelves in a Kroger near you. Now, as a result of having the blacklight, and being interested in what else I could find to glow under blacklight, I have discovered what I find to be The Coolest Tattoo of all Time, Ever. I don't want this one specifically, but this does show me that I could get a tattoo and at some point, it wouldn't even be visible except under the blacklight.
Fourth, the guy who is "the odds-on favorite" for the belly flop contest actually has bigger breasts than I do. For those of you who have never met me, this is saying a LOT about the man breasts.
Fifth, I need some help with various projects around the house. If you can help with one or more of these, please, please tell me now... 1) I have a gate that's come unhinged. I just need extra hands to hold in place while I re-hang it. 2) I need to move my workbench from one area in the basement to another. 3) I still need help getting that dang stump out of the ground (the stump that's grown up right by the foundation). 4) I do need to get caught up on 2 seasons of LOST between now and 10/4. 5) I need to pull down some lattice from the carport roof and I just need someone to watch me and call 911 if I injure myself. So yeah, if you are reading this and can help with any of these, I'll be happy to help with your projects in the future.
Sixth, again, thanks to JoeD, I now have a mirror that stands on a pedestal. I wanted this toi make it easier for me to pluck my eyebrows. This is a good thing, but the mirror is pretty dirty. I wiped it down with vinegar and tried to polish it with a vinegar and salt solution, but it's still got all this...stuff...on it. I don't know if it's tarnish, or some sort of plating, or what. I need help figuring out what to do with this thing.

  1. I can help with several of those things, but not until next week sometime. For being on a break I have suprisingly little time to do anything. I would not participate in a belly flop contest or any thing else like that for Jimmy Kimmel live. As someone who clincally cannot dive I have belly flopped far too many times in my life to ever do it voluntarily.
