Questioners Welcome
 
My mom just called me to ask how they inspect the paper underneath the shingles on your roof without damaging the shingles.

Seriously mom? Why the hell would I know that?

She has called me with a variety of questions lately that are like that. Why would you think I have any knowledge about such a thing? I forget the specifics, but last week she called with some question about airplanes. Her reasoning behind asking me was that I "spent all those years in the Air Force". huh?

I've decided that from this point forward, when she calls I will have an answer for any and every question she can come up with. I figure that since I'm going to do that for her, I'll do that for you. Any question you can come up with I will answer.

Bring your questions now.

Why must I *always* do things the hard way, especially when advised to do otherwise?

You have a genetic predisposition to make things harder than they previously appeared.

This is actually much harder to answer than you might think. There are two possible inspirations only one of which has wheels. It is fairly obvious that regardless of his inspiration, his goal is to get you in front of him.

At what temperature does aluminum melt?

- my son just asked jinx.

Lots of unanswered questions here.

I have a whole thread about stuff I don't know.

I *still* don't have an answer to the question: how does the foaming soap dispenser make the soap foamy?

Don't bother with "press down on the pump handle" or "with air", k? Thanks.

In my experience Aluminum will melt between 1200-1400 degrees, but truly you shouldn't be reading this. You should be asking what you have in your home that is made from aluminum. And did you hide the matches. And how up to date your homeowner insurance is.

It doesn't.

The chemical make up of the soap itself makes it foam when ejected through the pump.

he was concerned that the aluminum foil he was using to put his Fimo planets (solar system study project) on would melt on him...

I have t1-11 siding which is starting to rot. If I stain it soon, can I keep it on there for a while longer without having to replace it?

WTF is he using to harden the FIMO? A kiln?

Certainly you can keep it on there longer. No one can force you to replace it. The question you must ask yourself is do you qualify for a class action suit that will pay you enough money to erase your cares about siding.

Well....you didn't give her a good answer.....
So I'm not going to bother.
Oh, and you need to call me more often, because I worry about you when you don't call.....
:D
