I don't mean to take the p but did you possibly mean Shoe Goo? (See eg

If so I swear by it for repairs to all sorts of things (soles, heels,
rucksacks, tool rolls etc etc) but I wouldn't turn to it for sticking
soles on.

I have a pair of insulated boots whose soles detached a couple of years ago.
I simply put them back on using ordinary contact cement, and they've been fine
ever since.

I've stopped ordering from some of my favorite suppliers because they would
ONLY ship FedEx ground, and I told them why. For the life of me, I can't
figure out why anyone uses FedEx ground. It costs a lot more than the USPS,
and the packages would arrive faster if they sprouted legs and walked here.

Made a formal complaint against United Parcel Service, aka
UPS today with the Federal Trade Commission for tampering
with my medications en route. UPS is without a doubt one of
the most irresponsible and corrupt companies in the market
today. When the new Federal consumer protection agency gets
going, I will complain to them as well about this horseshit
company. Let's see if the Obama Admin is serious about
reining in bad companies.

Americans would riot over gas taxes where they riot over retirement
age. If there were riots against chaotic traffic, you could count me
in. ;)

Keep in mind the gas prices in Europe are artificially high due to
taxes. The wholesale price of a barrel of crude is about the same
everywhere in the world. As for retirement age, it's not the
government's job to finance your retirement, it's your personal
responsibility. I know social security won't be around when it's time
for me to call it quits. I've had a retirement fund setup for myself
since I was 20.

I thought they were kept artificially low here. Anyway we need to
downsize our cars and consumption.

Thanks, guys. Looks like I need to make this a more quantitative
comparison by using a thermometer, and taking readings between the rooms
at different times of days.
Now that the temps are a bit lower, I'll also go up into the attic
and take a look there. If I do it with someone tapping with a broom in
that room, I should be able to get a better idea of exactly where I am.
I may also try taking temps of the exterior walls. Not sure exactly
the best way to do that, but perhaps take my son's slightly insulated
lunchbox, put the open side against the wall, and thermometer in there?
I'm guessing that if 1 room is less insulated than the other, then
that room would have a lower temp faster than on a cool day.
I may end up needing to blow some of that cellulose insulation into
the wall for that room. The only other alternative I can think of would
be to totally rip out the drywall, put in new roll insulation, and then
new drywall. That would be a shame, since it was all just spackled and
painted.

Harbor freight frequently has a thermometer on sale goy $10 that you just point

We are in deep crisis, no doubt about it. And yet the solution is so
simple... sacrifice the Sacred Cows.
Sacred Cow #1: TAXATION
Sacred Cow #2: CHEAP GAS
Tax gas and the problem is solved... but that's political suicide. ;)

TM is a poor crazy bastard who just posts on his one favorite subject -
hatred of motor vehicles because they interfere with his use of the roads.
His other favorite subject is attacking Christianity. If you respond to this
poor crazy bastard, then you are a poor crazy bastard too.
He likes to reference monkeys and other wild animals normally found only in
zoos because he is most likely a wild beast himself. I think he fornicates
with monkeys, but I can't prove it.
TM should confine himself to just one thread instead of proliferating them
like a poor crazy bastard. He is insane of course. I liken him to the
village idiot of olden times. The difference these days is that no one any
longer recognizes the village idiot because idiocy has become so widespread.
But I will be here to remind one and all of what a poor crazy bastard TM is.
It is mark of My Greatness that I can still recognize the village idiot even
if the rest of you can't.

Anyone who has been here for awhile and reads my cut and paste is an idiot.

Tom Sherman is not a poor crazy bastard. He is often wrongheaded, but he is
not stupid. You are both a poor crazy bastard and stupid. In fact, you are
so g.d. stupid I do not believe it is possible to offend you.
Stop proliferating threads. Mr. Sherman thinks it all just monkey poo, but
you no doubt missed that evaluation of your shit.

working with the mind can be harder than working with the body. I've
done both and know what hard work is. As a profession, where do you
think lackadaisical troglodyte internet troll ranks with civil
engineer and IT specialist? Never mind ... rhetorical.
If the Internet were properly designed there would be no need for IT
specialists (does radio or TV have IT specialists?). If you had a brain in
your head instead of just hard work to fall back on, maybe you could have
come up with a better way for computers to talk to one another on the
Internet without the necessity of having a lot of asshole IT specialists
around to constantly be fixing the g.d. fucking thing.

Because:
A: Ed Dolan could not handle hard work if he tried.
B: With his personality, Ed Dolan could not keep a job even if it meant
starving otherwise.
Ed Dolan has spent his life living off the income of investments made by
his harder working forebears.

Mr. Ed Dolan makes the best argument yet for confiscatory inheritance
taxes - they would eliminate the parasites from society.
Work or starve, I say.

Nope, my forebears did not work hard either. I come from a long line of
smart people who knew how to live without working hard.

Where does Mr. Sherman think capital comes from? No investment, and we all
end up living like Soviet workers.
> Work or starve, I say.
Nonsense. Not everyone needs to work, only those who seem to prefer it to a
life of leisure.
A life of leisure is easily within reach of any American. All you have to do
is never marry, never have children, do not buy a house or a new car, and,
in short, do not ever spend a penny you do not absolutely have to spend.
Jeez, I would have thought even a jerk like Tom Sherman would have been able
figure this much out on his own.

Sorry Ed, but most USians need to work full time even if they just want
to eat a subsistence diet and have a place to live. Cheap housing
(boarding houses, etc) have disappeared, and even a 150 square foot room
with shared kitchen and bathroom is not that cheap. The same could be
said for a liver and sauerkraut [1] diet.
Mr. Ed Dolan is sadly divorced from the contemporary real world.
[1] Reportedly the least expensive nutritionally adequate diet.
