Dammit, DH, did you really not realize that canned air scares the cat??? I’m very lucky to not have been clawed by a cat who was happily being cuddled until you decided that NOW was the time to use half a can on your razor, and we’re really lucky that the spilled soft drink (diet, fortunately) did not ruin the library books nearby.
Had some fun riding the bus today. On my way to my destination, a girl sat down beside me and drank something out of a thermos. Whatever she was drinking smelled like a baby’s diaper. And on the way home, I was sandwiched in between a guy droning along to his iPod and a guy who kept scratching his dandruff all over me. Good times.
Thus concludes another boring, annoying bus rant by EmilyG.
Go for it!! You won’t be sorry. It only took me about two days to eat the entire package as they are so good.
Speaking of buses, just today as I was coming home, a guy behind me on the bus tapped me on the shoulder. I hunched forward and tried to ignore him because A. I’ve found that without fail, strangers who try to attract my attention are either asking for directions or trying to sell me something, and if you’re too damn stupid to read a map or use Google to look up your destination before leaving, why the hell should I want to help you? and B. my stop was only a block ahead.
The fellow then said something like “You afraid of a dick because you is (or possibly weighs) a dick (nickel?)” (note - I’m bald)
Christ, when the fuck are we going to get actual cures for mental illnesses so I don’t have to worry about running into fucking wackjobs?
The Adobe plugin has crashed.
Back when I had Windows 98, the computer would crash if I moved the mouse the wrong way.
15 years later and computers have vastly improved with regards to stability. But goddamn it, every time my computer crashes these days, 95% of the time it is a motherfucking Adobe issue. That company can’t disappear soon enough for me. Just a few days ago a flash video fucked up, immediately followed by a pop up saying that the Acrobat reader needed to update. I really need to take to time to get all that shit off my PC. But, yeah, fuck Adobe.
I did it! You are right they are so good I ate an entire column in one sitting! I love a sugar rush!
Wasp sting. Bottom of foot. Hooray! Hobbling around on a foot that’s on fire, spraying wasp’s nests. Double hooray!
Wow.
I posted two reviews on Trip Advisor. The first was a well deserved nasty review. The fucking dishonest pricks who run the place asked me for all sorts of verification that I had stayed there. They still have not fucking printed it two weeks later even though I provided the evidence they wanted. The second review was much a nicer review. No verification was asked. It was printed less than 24 hours after I posted it.
Fuck you, Trip Advisor. You have no fucking integrity. You are dishonest fucking assholes and you can all drop dead.
Is there some kind of clearinghouse site that rates the feedback sites on their integrity?
West Nile virus continues to be found in the county in which I live, plus the surrounding area. They’ll be spraying near my neck of the woods tonight.
There’s gonna be a lot more dead birds and butterflies in the area soon. 
I wish there was some other way to control mosquito-borne illnesses.
There is a tube below our mailbox (supposedly for newspaper delivery) which wasps keep trying to build a nest in. We spray wasp spray in there, we stick sticks in there and pry the nest out, and they come back again and again.
If you don’t actually get a newspaper, maybe just get rid of it? Or if its part of your mailbox, go to a hardware store and get some caps for it?
Wasps are horrible and chemical warfare doesn’t really work, because they have wasp sized brains and are used to knowing that their barbless stingers tend to run mammals off.
I’ve never had wasps nesting low…it was mostly the bees that would nest underground.
ACK!
I am not the one who takes care of dead critters in this house, TheKid is. However, she is gone this week. And Mayme was ever so kind as to deposit a dead mouse in my shoe.
shudder
Now I hear Dot and Lucy banging around downstairs. Mice must have received the memo that TheKid is gone and have decided to take over.
Yellowjackets will nest in the ground too, and they are nasty wasps from hell that have bee-resembling yellow/black stripes.
OK, the North Koreans have gone too far.

I’m about 2.2 nanoseconds away from killing my husband right now… He, however, thinks that I’m currently logging into the cellular provider’s website, making payment arrangements, but here’s the deal:
-
I cannot make this payment until the bank deposit clears. The online banking portal still shows it as pending - normal, since the deposit was in the form of a check, and it usually takes anywhere from one to eight hours for it to move from “pending” to available.
-
I’ve already communicated with the cellular provider. There’s no real point in obsessively chatting with a CSR every few minutes until the money becomes available.
-
If it’s so important to you to communicate with the cellular provider, WTF don’t you do it, versus hovering over me while I do it? (Or while I pretend to do it. Again.)
-
Shut up, shut up, shut up.
-
“Why does this table get so dirty?” is a dumb question. It’s an outside table. On the porch. Where the Great Outdoors can attack at will. If it bothers you? Go get a rag and clean it, instead of asking me dumb questions.
-
Shut up, shut up, shut up.
-
“How does the house get so dirty?” is another dumb question. We have four children and two dogs. One of the adults in the house hasn’t done housework in more than a year. How the fuck do you think the house gets so dirty and messy?!
-
Shut up, shut up, shut up.
Maybe call the bank and ask if it will cover the payment with a deposit pending? Mine does. It arranges the daily posts in my favor, so if a deposit comes in the same day as a payment that might have overdrafted, the deposit posts first. Yours may very well do the same.
You sound super stressed! pushes over a chocolate chocolate chip muffin
Calling the bank is problematic until the cell phone bill is paid… But thanks for the muffin! (Does anyone have a nice glug of Kahlua to accompany this muffin?)
We live in a mobile home park and the tube is used by the park owners and managers to communicate with us.
When I was young, I was wearing shorts and walked across a field, and right through the middle of a yellow jacket nest. That hurt.
One might wonder if old Camel face would notice, since he is so busy spending his second wife’s first husband’s trust fund.
He was for the North Koreans before he was against the North Koreans, to paraphrase one of his great sayings.
