Let’s be silly. Why not post your time in the comments section?

For the fiberglass resin I’m using, I have to use 99% resin to 1% hardener. At the moment, I’m having to face the bitter truth that I mis-judged the amount of hardener and didn’t put enough in. This means that the fiberglass I just put on the bear’s face is remaining a gooey, toxic mess. It is, to say the least, disappointing.

There are: 72 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

If I use my maiden name, there are 3007 people. According to this site, there are 3,956,182 people in the U.S. with the first name Mary and it is the 5th most popular first name. Which is interesting because I very rarely meet other Marys.
