The moral of the story: Before you buy a mop, make sure it fits in your bucket.
A while back, I decided I needed a new mop. The model I am currently using, just doesn't do a good job and I have to bend over too much. So, being poor and a cheapskate, I decided to look for one at the 99 cents store.
Well, I found one that seemed like it would work, so I purchased it and went home, excited, to use the new mop.
I swept the kitchen floor, filled the bucket with warm water and cleaner and excitedly put the mop in the bucket. Just then, I realized that the mop was wider than the bucket I had. My heart sank. All those dreams I had of using a different mop just flushed down the drain. Well, not to worry too much, I could just get a wider bucket...wrong. In the process of trying to get the mop in the bucket, I broke the bottom part off with a snap!
There went 99 cents of my hard earned money! Next time, I am going to measure the mop first.

Star Wars Question
For Chirstmas I recieved the box set of the first Star Wars Trilogy. While I have seen all many times, I sometimes see things that don't make sense that I have not noticed before.
For instance, in "A New Hope", the first Star Wars movie, towards the end of the movie when Luke is in his X-wing fighter in the trench preparing to destroy the Death Star, Darth Vader is hot on his tail. Luke, with no Jedi training, turns off his targeting computer and uses the Force to fire his torpedos. Meanwhile, Vader, a powerful trained Jedi master of the dark side of the Force, has to rely on the targeting computer in his fighter to fire on Luke and others.
That doesn't make much sense to me. Was it a laps in story continuity or purposeful by Lucas?
I believe it was sloppy writing/direction. I still like the movie though and will continue to watch it many more times.

Former Presidents Join Forces
I saw a clip on the news this morning about former President Bush and former President Clinton have joined forces to solict private donations to aid areas devastated by the tsunami in the Indian Ocean.
They showed Bush Sr. speak about how it feels good to give and feels good to help out.
I have a problem with that. Give because it makes you feel good? You give because it is the right thing to do. I believe that people should live their life, as much as possible, doing things because it is the right thing to do, not because it makes us feel good.
I think a lot of the "Hollywood" types give because it makes them feel good...possibly out of guilt for having so much money...and becasue it makes them look good to others and the media.
