Put it back together, plug it in and then decorate it throughout the year for various seasons.... You know ♥♥♥ for Valentine's Day!!! Pastels for Spring/Easter!! Red, White and Blue for July 4/Summer! Fall colors for fall, then Halloween ornaments for Halloween!!! And then you're back to Christmas!!! ♥♥♥
I concur! This could become the new 'in' thing! Afterall, why beat yourself up?! Get it - beat yourself up!

The Word of the Day for January 03, 2007 is:
hazmat • \HAZ-mat\ • noun: a material (as flammable or poisonous material) that would be a danger to life or to the environment if released without precautions
Example Sentence: When asbestos was discovered, the company called in a hazmat team to identify and remove all of it.
Did you know?
The origin of "hazmat" is clear enough -- it was formed by combining the first three letters of each of two words: "hazardous" and "material." The word "hazmat" is fairly young, first appearing in print in 1980. Although it is a noun, "hazmat" tends to be used attributively, meaning that it often appears in sentences before another noun as if it were performing the duties of an adjective (as in "hazmat team" and "hazmat worker").

Good Job Macca
hazmat is one of those grossly over-used words that implies something really bad, when it often is a normal daily product.
Example - when airbags are bolted into your car, they're a wonderful safety device. When they're shipped from our factory to car companies, they're hazmat, because of the aggregate amount of propellant present with a bulk shipments. (same with seat belts) (same with car batteries)
Most of the aerosol products you buy must be shipped as hazmat when in bulk, due to the potential danger of the aggregate amount of aerosol (I still enjoy throwing the can of hairspray on a bonfire.........ka boom)
The examples are endless, but you get the ideal.........the label of HazMat is often relative to quantity (as above) or potential contact exposure (take human blood for example !!)

Cool news story of the day... Most of you have probably seen it already, but I thought it was worth sharing.
Man Is Rescued by Stranger on Subway Tracks
......Mr. Autrey was waiting for the downtown local at 137th Street and Broadway in Manhattan around 12:45 p.m. He was taking his two daughters, Syshe, 4, and Shuqui, 6, home before work.
Nearby, a man collapsed, his body convulsing. Mr. Autrey and two women rushed to help, he said. The man, Cameron Hollopeter, 20, managed to get up, but then stumbled to the platform edge and fell to the tracks, between the two rails.
The headlights of the No. 1 train appeared. “I had to make a split decision,” Mr. Autrey said.
So he made one, and leapt.
Mr. Autrey lay on Mr. Hollopeter, his heart pounding, pressing him down in a space roughly a foot deep. The train’s brakes screeched, but it could not stop in time.
Five cars rolled overhead before the train stopped, the cars passing inches from his head, smudging his blue knit cap with grease. Mr. Autrey heard onlookers’ screams. “We’re O.K. down here,” he yelled, “but I’ve got two daughters up there. Let them know their father’s O.K.” He heard cries of wonder, and applause.
Power was cut, and workers got them out.

The Crackah's back!
Pappy saw that subway hero story. Incredible! That' guy's a real hero. Makes Pappy wanna lose weight so I can fit under a subway train. If I dove under that train, I might save the guy but I'd wreck the train doin' it.

It's OK, I'm Hazmat Certified for Class 9 Hazmat, which is the "so mild you can barely tell it's Hazmat" Hazmat. I'd say MAAN 1 fell into that category.

Mornin' all.
Jane, I didn't see a moon report from you last night. I had to look up an' find it myse'f. Fortunately it was big an' bright enough that I found it right off. That moonrise was a stunner!
(I gotta quit eatin' these vegetables. "That moonrise was a stunner"?)
Uh, I meant that moonshine was a stunner, yeah, that's it.
