Below, Beneath, and Borrow

* Using the remote car starter to warm up your car isn't going to do a whole lot of good if it's seven below and you've left one of the windows open.

* If your first grader tells you the toilet is running, check it *now*. If you're lucky it will have rained recently and the dentist office and dry cleaners beneath your apartment will blame the water damage on that. (FYI, I did fess up, but the owners insisted it was caused by rain because it had happened before... granted, the toilet had overflowed before, too!)

* When borrowing a friend's car it's wise to remember that their garage door opener will not open your garage door.
