Oh god yes, I have seen those. They look like medieval torture devices. Not me:o
I would take one look at that, go “OH HELL NO”, get up out of the chair and walk out of the room.
Very minor rant follows -
Dear Anonymous Internet Person,
There is no reason at all to make up pseudonyms for people that other anonymous internet people don’t know. Things like “let’s call him ‘Jim’” are completely unnecessary. Why not just say “my friend Bob,” or “This guy I work with, Tim.” There is no way anyone would know who you are really talking about because we don’t live in your world, and even if we did, the events you are about to describe would totally give away that persons identity anyway.
Now, on this message board we like to give our loved ones cutesy handles and that’s awesome. I often refer to my husband as TheElf. But giving fake names to people to preserve their anonymity on a mostly anonymous forum seems redundant.
Thank you for your time.

adhemar, you might want to check out lichen planus.
It fucking sucks.
Good grief. I think I would rather have bedbugs. I will keep this in mind though.
Fortunately, 1) I saw a mosquito last night, 2) still no sign of bedbugs in trap or mattress/bedding and 3) I have been wearing from fitting pajamas (bike shorts with a t-shirt tucked in) and while I have a few new bites none on the covered areas. 3) sunscreen does not substitute for hydrocortisone cream. (similar shaped and size tube).
Today my neighborhood is having it’s “put your crap on the curb” pick up day.
I put a bunch of stuff out - outside xmas decorations that don’t work, a bookshelf, a few lawn chairs. As usual, the scavengers have been out.
This morning I looked - a bunch of stuff gone. Great!
However, some dumbass motherfucker dropped off a HUGE TV into our pile. Electronics are not part of the pick up.
I’m now stuck with this massive thing. Called the local electronics dump. They’ll pick it up, for $100 or we can drop it off for $15.
I have NO idea how we’re going to load this into my truck.
What’s your address? I’ve got a dishwasher to get rid of.
Our crap day is May 3.
Anything metal is gone as soon as it’s put out. As I was hauling stuff out, one truck stopped and started grabbing anything metal (a broken lawn chair, some crappy large picture frames). He already had two washing machines, a dishwasher, and at least a dozen bicycles on his trailer.
Another neighbor complained that someone dropped off a king sized mattress and box spring at her house. AFTER pick up had gone through. Another one put out something with glass shelving. Someone/thing broke all the glass, just left it in her yard.
The city/county pick-up is gonna stop the practice because people are abusing the service. Why is it that a few jokers ruin it for everyone? So stupid.
We’ve had incidences where people would go into yards and driveways and take stuff. You pretty much have to lock down anything you want to keep as the vultures will steal anything even if it’s not on the boulevard.
When my sister owned this house, her son made a lovely wooden wishing well for the yard (well, lovely if you like that stuff). It weighed well over 300lbs.
Some jerkface stole it.
So, the price quote to dump the TV was incorrect. To take it to the tech dump, it’s minimum $60. To the county tech dump, $25.
I’d really like to be able to CSI this damn thing, find the asshat, and shove the damn thing into any available orifice.
I have a Conservative friend on Facebook (we’ve been friends for about 8 years through a FB game) that tonite I just wanted to smack.
She posted a meme quoting Factcheck.org saying that Snopes.com is unreliable and part of some Liberal Conspiracy.
So I checked what factcheck had to say, quoted it (uh, they find snopes reliable even for political stuff) and posted it.
She laughed back that I had quoted snopes about snopes.
Even though the huge Factcheck.org identifier showed as to where the link I pasted came from. And if she had clicked the link and read the whole article she would have seen where the 2 paragraphs I pasted had came from. And that, yes, it was from Factcheck.org.
You know, at least when my Liberal friends post “woo” or probably Russian generated memes (to cause division) they at least read what I link to and either delete the misleading stuff or (even better) leave it up with a “Oh, wow, thanks for that/I didn’t know/begin a discussion about why it is right/wrong or share back something new to me.”
Well my son wrecked his truck this afternoon. It’s totalled. He was just banged up a bit, he’ll be fine. He just bought it right after Xmas. It was new so it had full coverage. Y’all just dont know, the deer population is trying to kill all of us.
Did he get to keep the deer carcass? (Iowa, and, yeah, the deer are out to get us.)
I’ve never hit or been hit by one but I don’t drive in the evening hours if I can help it. And I drive slow in these backwoods roads. My husband who does drive everywhere and all the times got hit (passenger door) once these past 40 years of him driving. Throw in all the rest of the relations, friends and friends of friend and one might think these tasty critters might have an agenda… or not enough living space vs food available (they have plenty so they produce nicely or overly so).
Check the serial number; maybe it used to be covered under an extended service plan. Hey, it’s worth a shot.
The temp has fell. Of course I set my baby tomato plants out this past week. It’s kinda late for a cold snap around these parts. So I have spent some time today covering plants with newspaper. I just looked out and paper blew around, allover the garden. Out I go again. Pet peeve: having to do a chore twice, because you didn’t do it right the first time.
First World rant - iTunes songs that are listed as Album Only. Look, if I wanted to listen to the entire album on a regular basis, I’d buy it. I only want these two songs and they’re not worth the $20 to me.
The argument is if you make it easy and reasonable, most people will opt for the legal route. I’m technically apt enough that reasonable is much more key here.
I love our new home, everything is great…except that when building the privacy fence, we had to leave a small area of chain link because of utility inspections or something. I don’t really get it, but our neighbor shares that part of the fence.
Very sweet, elderly, retired widow. Who reaches around the real fence to feed our hounds through the chain link. When I’ve talked to her about this, more than once, she agrees that she will stop, but she just can’t seem to stop. I can’t find it in myself to bitch slap a 70 year old woman over giving our hounds food that they don’t need, so now we are going to have more fence built with a set back to keep the woman away from the hounds, cause I know I can’t stop the hounds from going to her.
the only way to solve that is buy dog treats for her to give to them …our nice little old lady used to buy quality meat like she was feeding her family that no longer lived there …
so of course she didn’t use most of it and decided since our dogs were pups and friendly they needed a treat …
thy stopped eating the puppy food …and I seen her drop the treats over the fence …it was cut up prime rib and porterhouse …she said well it was just going bad anyways and they were growing puppies …
That’s a tough one. But what if she was feeding your peanut allergy kid peanut butter before it went bad? I would tell her to stop, blame it on your vet or groomer or hell anyone. I can just see that extra chicken leg jammed in somebodies throat.
