Is Roscoe's worth stopping at on the way back from Iowa???

It seems like sacrilege for a "local," but I have always thought Roscoe's is overrated.  IMHO, you'd be better off at Famous Dave's or Dickie's. 

That said, there are some who swear by it, so you might end up loving it....

Why do they call the mini versions of candy bars "fun size" when they are not as fun as a regular size candy bar?

Because the "why bother?" size didn't sell as well as they had hoped.

Seriously though - has anyone ever eaten just one fun size bar?

Yes.  When there was only one available.

The same reason sportsmen  call hunting elephants conservation, I always thought conserving meant to save the life not to kill it.

Yes.  When there was only one available.

The very thought makes me shudder.

Move.

beautiful.  i was going to say 'contract'.

[GooooMarquette]

Contracting would be my first choice, but I'd also consider moving.

Those are pretty much the only options, right?

I forgot the ritzy audience around here...no alumni of the year is pounding out tile...

For me, it's more about knowing my limitations - mostly my lack of patience for household projects, leading to a tendency to use a hammer as the solution to any problem.  So if I tried to do the project myself, it would end up being so awful that I'd need to call a contractor anyway to fix the damage.  In the end, going straight to the contractor is more of a money saver.

Yeah, we have people for that...   

Also, we started out with vinyl sheet flooring in our bathrooms.  Much easier to deal with when we remodeled.

Bosch Bulldog (or Makita) with a tile scraper attachment blade. Can rent at The Depot.

Maybe the kind of grin one would have if they got someone else to eat sh!t?

I just don't understand how anyone could pass up the opportunity to rent a jackhammer.

She said they started with vinyl, so she must be reffering to the boathouse.
