I like the slurpy soda-shop gurgle as the last of the water leaves the reservoir, then the final steamy sigh of contentment. No beep required.

Consider a life form that starts as a folding rack to utilize space in the far back corners of a closet. The juvenile form would be a folding camp chair that distributes itself into the world via garage sales. The adult form is the sturdy table.

We had a dog with a favorite toy that had to be replaced from time to time. Our trick was to get the old one wet and pop it into a bag with the new one. A couple of minutes in the microwave on low power was enough to transfer the smell so the new one would be accepted.

Years ago I did a stint as driver for my parents on a cross-country trip for their Fiftieth Anniversary. We stopped at many a Wendy's along the way.
A baker topped with bowl of chili for dinner looked like I was running cheap, but it was bliss.
Such a happy thread here.

Like the "fill in the blanks" of noting whether or not a bicyclist is wearing a helmet. While a factor in injuries, it's only role as a cause is if it was misadjusted and slipped over the eyes, or as a long ago contributor noted if the wind is thrumming through the straps and being distracting.

The little pump sticks down into a more or less open topped tank and is operated by a float switch. If you can identify the switch, try tapping the side of it a few times in case it is stuck. You can potentially bail out the tank - this buys you time as it will take a bit to refill.
