Help! Someone mysteriously left a piece of modelling clay on my desk. I don't know what to make of it.

I have tried but cannot resolve this predicament myself, im hoping you can provide enlightenment Jimbo.

How can any of us find true contentment and satisfaction from owning just one watch, is it even possible?

Crown & Caliber have an article on Racing Watches. Why do watches race, and how fast do they go?

Sheldon is a character in an animated program created by the same fellow who created Garfield, the cat. Sheldon is a chick, who, having been hatched, but afraid to leave his shell, is seen as a mobile shell, with legs. Perhaps your co-workers see you as needing to come out of your shell...

A general question for those of us with a man’s best friend…..

Why do dogs wipe their feet after pooping? :-k

I get absolute grief however I answer this stupid question.
Tell her "Yes".... "it looks big in whatever you wear darling"

Given that my experience is in jobs I don't want (previously in an office and currently a CNC operator/setter) what do you suggest? I have brains and am physically strong/healthy, something that uses both would be great.
Start your own Fencing and gate business. You only need a van (flat bed) chain saw, level (1M), a couple of spades, and plenty of upper body strength. A good eye for a straight line helps. There is plenty of work out there
