Best idea I had today thread

I'll start.

My best idea was to start this thread, in the hope we would stop swooning and pawing on each other, and start talking about everything, and anything else

Now I'm off to delete my thread, and if anyone would like theirs deleted, feel free to PM me

My best idea today was to throw out a box of rice that was infested with Pantry Moths.

I found evidence of mice today, so set some traps, and laid out some mean mouse food, as in tasty poison.

Best idea I had today was to make mashed potatos out of some previously baked potatos and then top it with some ranch dressing.

Beat you by two days on the mice thing. I have one attic room they move into every fall. I nail them quick and no more problems for another year.

I have a best idea about every 23 minutes, most don't work out so good, that may explain why I need to keep coming up with new ones

Poco would have a new friend too!

Mice were my original reason for getting a cat and now I can't imagine living without one in the house. However, I can imagine and sometimes fantasize about living with one and not four cats!

Mmmmm... My best idea was to carpet a unique dining room at one of our restaurants... The room is just too noisy... We don't usually use carpet anymore, but I don't want to take a bunch of small steps that don't solve the problem. I don't expect anyone to find this very interesting... but Lot asked and this is the best I got.

My great idea was actually Lois' great idea: to get some Robitussin DM for my nasty hacking cough!

My own great idea was to get to Trader Joe's for snacks and goodies to take to The Dragon.

My best idea today was leaving class eairly to go driving in an empty parking lot. By the way it was wet and slippery and I may have pulled the e-brake a few times.

My dad branched off to his own company recently, and my office manager has been helping him alot with getting things straight for it. I decided to walk the basket my stepmom wanted to give the manager (thanking her for all her help) upstairs to her office super early, but she wasn't in her office yet.

Best idea i had today was to walk around looking for her to give it, rather than wait til later, and i found her in the break room, next to a HUGE breakfast. Scrambled eggs, grits, muffins, bacon, sausage, hash browns... the attorneys meeting was cancelled, but breakfast wasn't. I got almost first dibs on PIPING HOT FRESH breakfast mmm it's yummy in my tummy.

It's early so that's my excuse for a humble one. I chose to avert my eyes when the inevitable credit card ad came on where David Spade ( ) tortures the "fatso" co-worker.

New idea: send him to a fat farm and let the residents have at him.

My idea today:


Re-instate alot of the "blue laws". People are too busy doing crap nowadays. Close everything except for drug stores and a few grocery stores on Sunday and let's get back to people being people instead of slaves to the modern world, at least for one day a week.

Hmmm....it's too civilized to work here in the U.S. now, but I like your idea, Bob!

That gives me an idea, how about we work 1 day a week, and take 6 off, now that would be civilied.
