Not to mention being kneaded by cats!

Along with being needed by dogs.

Oh nothing says comfy chair like a pair of dachshunds on a cold day. The cat comfys things up to be sure but she's really only there to remind me to feed her or let me know the litter box needs scooping.

  Do you get drowsy in that plush comfy chair, having just had your favorite comfort food, lap companions all aboard, gazing out the window at the snowflakes drifting down, fire a crackeling softly in the stove and working out the details of the perfect burner in your mind?  Do your eyelids feel heavey..... heavey.... heavey...    

 Uh. . . snort, darn the show is over. Move kids I gotta get up and go to the bathroom.

Yaaaawn.

    As long as he had a soft landing, I wouldn't mind seeing a video of that.  I stumbled on my laces once at an important function.  Hard to recover from with any dignity.

When my brother was in seminary, one of the deacons tripped during a Sunday service (with the bishop in attendance, no less), did a kind of backwards somersault, spilled the contents of the censer on the floor, and burned a hole in the rug. By the end of the day, someone had posted the following on the door of his dorm room:

Perfect, how'd the deacon take it?

I wonder what inspired the cartoonist for that one? I recognize the art but can't place the cartoonist, not Gary Larson but . . . familiar.

  I do believe I will be smiling for a few days at least... Its' good to know we all stumble sometimes...  Thanks.

No, it's a Far Side cartoon.

  Who did the "Far Side" then?

Frosty is incorrect; it is Gary Larson, author of the Far Side.

I've felt worse about being wrong  before.

  Being wrong is just a Happy Little Accident. 

I have not been able to get this welder to work, the AC motor is about 3kw or more, my 11KW VFD will run it but as soon as you strike an arc the VFD shuts down. The rotory phase converter just stalls when an arc is struck, super annoying as I allways wanted a lincoln DC welder, I was thinking about converting it to run off a petrol engine.
