Other than that, you've completely lost me. I've dutifully followed the construction manual & there's been no mention of sopping-wet panties....ever!
If there had been, I might have been more motivated to complete the project sooner & reap the rewards.....
Getting old sux! At least I have (most) of my teeth & still lotsa (silver) hair.Going to the dentist this afternoon to get impressions done for my dentures. The fun day will be when they pull the rest of my teeth and fit them. It will be nice to have some teeth to chew with again though.
