Either way I've already bought a new chair anyway.

You sound like my mother regarding holiday dinners. She was always amazed that a dinner she spent hours preparing was gone in about 15 minutes.

I don't know if it would do you any good now, but there is a good chance they could have looked up your purchase date for you, particularly if you paid by plastic.

Yeah, I thought of that. The main reason I didn't bother was because I'd already bought a new chair at that point.

I found the perfect food storage containers. I didn't buy them. I cannot find them online, and now I really wish I had bought them when saw them.

None of the other containers I find have the exact specifications I want. I have containers of bird food everywhere and the tops always come off and food spills.

Chrome logged me out of all my sites. Had to login to gmail (typed in password) and snopes (Chrome remembered it, but I still had to type in my user name), plus two other message boards. Odd.

The battery on my iPod crapped out around 1:45, and I didn't have my charger with me. I had to endure an hour and 45 minutes with NO TUNES!

It was torture, I tell ya!

Not only that, but I have to go for a run in the rain this afternoon because CARROT will be angry if I don't. Worst of all, I'm actually looking forward to deep cleaning my bathroom this weekend because I managed to break it down into 26 mini tasks.

This is proof that I'll do anything if you turn it into a game with levels and achievements.

FWP: quink made me aware of this app and now CARROT is running my life.
