We did it just last year. All we had to do was wear a monitor when we were awake. IIRC, it paid like $10 for signing up, $20 after 1 month, and $30(?) at the end of 3 months for each of us.

Day before yesterday Popdigr received a recall notice from Chrysler regarding 1993-98 Grand Cherokees, and the possibility of a fuel leak in certain types of rear end collisions. They're gonna install a different kind of trailer hitch for free.
I can't wait to see the guy's face when we bring in a 20 year-old Jeep w/225,000 miles on it for free shop work. By the by: When it got down deep into the single digits here a couple weeks ago, I just knew I was in for a new battery and alternator. See, the battery in GrandCherokeeOne is seven years old, and the alternator, yeah, that's Original Equipment right there, son. 20 yrs old, 225,000 miles! And she cranked right the fuck up in that 4 degrees.

In the grocery store this afternoon...
Wife: "You're buying Yoplait?" Husband: "I have a coupon." Wife: "Do you like Yoplait?" Husband: "I like coupons." Kid: "I didn't know you even liked yogurt." Husband: "I like coupons." Wife: "Okay, well, you may not serve that at the party tomorrow..." |

I think I shocked Mum just now, by reciting some dirty limericks during an advert break.
Well one of the questions was which verse form has four lines, quatrain, limerick or sonnet. We both knew the answer of course, but I can't help wanting to show off and say how many lines the others were, and then give examples. Luckily I don't have any sonnets fully committed to memory. But it was a little odd, because she's got an earthy sense of humour, and has heard far worse from my mouth! Aside for that, we laughed like silly schoolgirls this afternoon. Chap came to assess the house for energy ratings or some such standard needed to sell it. He was here for ages, taking photos and using a red light pointer and stuff. After a while we just got giggly about it, in the living room while he was upstairs, imagining him taking selfies with my knickers on his head, or chasing his red light around her bedroom like a cat.

Tapatalk doesn't want to load anything this morning on my phone. So instead of sitting in bed browsing through the Cellar while sipping a mug of coffee, I needed to go into the old home office and sit in the uncomfortable chair to see what's going on in the world on the desktop.

Here's today's thing I'm supposed to read with a straight face:

This was the first post at the top of the page. I was forced to back up to see what that was about. I had to.

The responsible party would no doubt qualify as IOTD and for inclusion in that thread, but I suspect that he or she has suffered enough, so it's here instead.

Presumably somewhere along Church Walk or Church Lane then? Used to take the dog for a walk down there. I understand that property values have recovered since Noel Edmonds moved out. Church Walk, Weston Turville.
