    - instructions. read them over before you start. then step by step. but READ THEM ALL FIRST. - Andie Jan 6, 08:25 3
      - heh. I rarely read them and just use the pictures as a reference - decline Jan 6, 08:28 2
        
        if it's intuitive, then sure. if three people can build a tv stand, they need to read first. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 08:29 1
        
        *can't* -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 08:29

  - I get what he's going through. I will stress over little things rather than think about the big things. I don't mind talking him thru it. - loosilu Jan 6, 08:21

    - Ooh yes...should rank right up there with the turkey episode :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 6, 08:12 4
      - Is this a screwdriver??!!! -- nm - 97 on FB si Jan 6, 08:18 3
        
        Who ever heard of a slotted spoon? Call it a holey spoon, that's self-evident! -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:27 2
        
        A holey spoon is different. -- (link) - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:30
        
        you're so pretty. -- nm - decline Jan 6, 08:28
    - like you haven't had to help him put his bed back together before. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 08:11

      - It's an *awesome* bed (because it's mine) -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:25
      - Maybe he's afraid of accidentally reassembling it with an intruder hiding in it -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 6, 08:10 1
        
        Hide yo kids, hide yo wife! -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 08:28

        In the pantheon of bad customer experiences there was that event and then everything else. - Mel Profit Jan 6, 07:47
  - we're doing the actual moving ourself, this is just for the unloading at the end. -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 07:39 32
    - [deleted] 27
      - what counts as heavy stuff for znufrii? suitcases? lamps? the back door of the truck? -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 07:47 19
        
        [deleted] 18
        
        and we're getting a little old to bribe friends with pizza and beer to do our work for us. - znufrii Jan 6, 07:52 17
        
        Make it pizza and wine then -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 07:54 2
        
        They can't make the furniture dance up stairs by playing the piano. He's not the Sorcerer's Apprentice. - TFox Jan 6, 08:04 1
        
        Just saying, if he wants he and his friends to feel like grown-ups ... -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 08:07
        
        you need new friends. Anyone who doesn't jump at free pizza and beer is crazy -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:53 13
        
        My friends can afford their own beer and pizza. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:11 11
        
        Well...they SHOULD help you because they're your friends. The pizza and beer is just a common "thank you for helping" gesture. -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 08:20 5
        
        honestly ... we've all moved each other too many times. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:22 4

        Maybe. I flat out cannot move big furniture. - loosilu Jan 6, 08:25
        
        me too, but someone offers free beer and pizza makes it taste all the sweeter cause it is free. Plus doesn;t count against a diet as you are helping -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:16 4
        
        See, once you hit a certain age, and your friends start buying real (read "heavy") furniture, there isn't enough pizza and beer. - loosilu Jan 6, 08:20 2
        
        you being a girl and all you'd be expected to serve the pizza and beer while the men did the heavy lifting -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:21 1
        
        riiight, you know who ends up doing half the work anyway? Me! -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:23

am i allowed to ask the hump day poll i thought of yesterday, but didnt post because of test, today? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 07:23 3
- Hump Day polls are only valid when JD is around. Therefore, proceed. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 6, 07:27
- *reads rules* as long as you title it " Post Hump Day Poll" it will apply - Epiphany Jan 6, 07:25 1
  - yeah, st is like a bunch of old naggy women who think they can only wash underwear on tuesdays because they are so set in their ways. - tRuMaN Jan 6, 07:29
