Oh, Shabanu, where have you gone?

Do you remember when the Horstmanns were constantly cranking out funny blog posts? And by "Horstmanns", I mean Jane?

One of the last posts from "You're Jealous.":

I've got the power.
The other day, while hanging around Helen's office, being hungry and bored I was thinking, "What if I had an electrical socket instead of a belly button?" I mean how awesome would that be? Other than producing your own food, what more could you want in life? Everyone in the office agreed that if everyone had electrical sockets instead of belly buttons thing would be much better. World peace would go way up. Although you'd be using so much power you would need to eat more. I think if I had 5 meals a day instead of three my peace would go way up too. This socket idea is definitely a good thing.

I sent it to Kitten:

kitten: oh, jane, i miss this blog.
kitten: damn it, now i have to go find the down with jesus post.
helen: the title is "boo, I'm adorable"
helen: search for it.
helen: then bookmark it.
helen: then print it on a tee shirt and wear it every day.

Motherhood clearly agrees with Kitten, btw. Check out her recent post for a more recently produced dose of funny.

You learn something new every day. Mostly not about home improvement, in my case.

I am now on my third recaulking of the year, and this time, I am determined to get it right. Amazon has provided the fresh caulk, I think I already have the skillz, and now I get this tidbit of stunningly obvious instruction:

NOTE: The most common error in tub re-caulking is failure to fill the tub first. Water weighs 8 pounds per gallon. When the tub is full of 8-pound gallons, plus your own weight, the bathtub flexes, dropping down and away from the wall and pulling the joint open. Caulking the joint when it's as wide open as it can ever possibly be, makes your fresh caulk job last way, way longer.
