Repetitious Activities
Do you find comfort in doing things the same way every time?
In your experience, do you find that the blessing outweighs the curse?

How do you know I'm not wearing 80s short shorts?

Uggh. He plays the drums in hot pink 80's spandex. (he wears short shorts!) The worst part is, he thinks it makes him really rock.
 No really, I've made french press coffee the same way for 7 years. People always say I make a great cup of joe. I think it's win win. There's no grand technique, just little practical measures that go into a good pot. If one of those is thrown off, it doesn't taste as good. And I get the most out of my bean without the bitter. Earl Grey is a finicky Tea, and people screw it up all the time. I watch them dump 16 0zs. of boiling water over the bag, leave it in the cup, and snap the lid on. Nooooz! Then again, I am the only crazy person I know that got a whole set of mugs devoted to the specific qualties that make a good cup of Earl Grey. I do that the same way every time because...why suffer the low quality when you know better?

I used to find a whole lot of comfort in doing things a certain way. Then my children utterly broke me, and now I'm happy just to get things done at all.

Flint, I bet you're good at archery or shooting. Aim small, miss small.

Flint, keep a close eye on that spot on your leg. If it changes shape, size or colour, itches, bleeds, or has more than two colours in it, see a doctor. It is probably just a regular mole but watch the little beggar. They can turn nasty.

Do you think that was inappropriate, then? Apart from being off thread, but that doesn't stop anyone here.
I was inclined to pass on information which I thought might be useful, and possibly life saving. Which reminds me; Lumberjim, you are definitely going to die. I don't have the details yet though, but I'll let you know as soon as anything comes up. :p
