I was doing a Google search for something today and a survey popped up.
“How satisfied are you with your search experience?”
I clicked the frown icon. When asked why, I picked “Other” then typed:
“I was doing a simple search when this irritating survey popped up demanding my time.”
It went on to ask another question but I didn’t bother going further.
Great idea! Dunno if anyone will bother to notice, though.
A new season of Rick and Morty has started, and once again my DVR is not recording it properly. It got the first episode of the season but then missed episode two this week. Apparently the scheduled time on the U-verse guide did not match when Cartoon Network actually aired the episode. Not sure who’s fuckup this is but it happened two or three times last season (including the finale) and now it’s happening again. I never have this problem with any other TV show that I have my DVR scheduled to record.
So at least I called him and made peace with him. I hope he gets better.
It would’ve been awesome if he’d be in the same place as Beck, but no.
Good for you, glad it ended on a positive note (now block that number:)
The rehab place should teach him to be more self-reliant.
He said he feels like hes losing his independance. But maybe he will improve (he would never do therapy on his own) and can find some assisted living place.
It sounds to me like he is choosing to give up his independence by refusing to do his therapy himself. I have mobility issues which are getting worse. You better believe I am doing everything I can to keep what I have, even if the exercises do hurt.
I have been following your story and I think he was taking advantage of your kindness and desire to help. Take care of yourself, you are the only one who can.
Thank you. Well, his lack of motivation for doing therapy can be explained by his extensive use of medical marijuana, imo.
And there were many times he didn’t want me around and he coped on his own.
My ex from years ago treated me poorly, and I had helped him get the place where he lived, and he’d kicked me out. I’d prayed this spring he would lose the house and few months later, he was sent to a home. Now this. I guess God avenges me sometimes.
I don’t mean to make that sound weird. Some of you may say-karma.
Mini Rant- keep putting off buying a jar of gefilte fish, hoping each month that the free box of food from the Jewish Relief Agency will contain one. This week, my wish for gefilte fish was granted. I happilly get my bottle of horse radish sauce from the fridge- and find it expired three months ago. For the Jewish impaired- gefilte fish is fish (usually carp, whitefish or pike) ground up and mixed with equally ground up potatoes, onions, and spices. I find it delicious. But it only really achieves its true potential when you add horseradish.
You could very well be right, I am not him. I smoke a whole bunch of top shelf weed, but it affects everyone differently.
Me: Ohhhh, my hip really hurts. I should probably do some stretches.
Bad Me: Noooo, it will hurt!
Good me: I’ll just smoke this bowl and then it won’t hurt so much when I do the stretches.
Bad Me: yeah, whatever, just pass it over here.
Good Me: Stretches/hurts/forgets how much it really hurts because I’m stoned.
Wash/rinse/repeat an hour later.
Motivation can override stoner lazies.
Scrape the green off the top and you’re good.
ETA: Oh, wait, you said sauce. I’m sorry, you are screwed.
Will the gefilte fish keep for another day?
I knew I left something out! After all the grinding, you pickle the stuff. It’s a bunch of lumps in a jar. It will keep for months. I’m trying to decide whether I want to walk the half a mile to the Russian market to try to find decent hr sauce, or whether I can talk my shikseh into driving me to the Shoprite on Roosevelt (the kosher section includes a butcher and is litterally larger than my apartment). It’s definitely a mini rant. It’s just that moment of ‘Yes! At last!’ followed by ‘Nope. Not this time’
I’m sure you have other grocery needs, so I vote for this option. May I say this though…if you see a horseradish root and think you could make your own horseradish sauce at home? Yes you can. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
If it’s like the horseradish sauce I get, there’s enough vinegar in it that it keeps a good long time past the exp date.
Just checked my horseradish. Best before 2/2/2021. The jar is half full and I’ll use every last bit.
yeah, don’t fall for the propaganda of Big Horseradish - three months past expiration is nothing to worry about it. As long as it smells OK (what does ‘off’ horseradish smell like - less pungent?), you’ll be OK.
If you make your own horseradish and prefer it on the hot side of the spectrum, wait a few minutes before adding the vinegar. The vinegar stops an enzymatic process that adds heat to the final product.
For very mild horseradish, grate the root and add vinegar immediately.
Yum!!! (extra exclamation points added to fulfill minimum character requirement).
I’ve eaten vinegar-laden condiments that were years past their “freshest by” or “enjoy by” dates with no ill effects. Not sure how Jewish dietary guidelines would deal with that though.
Some asshole sent a “Camp Lejune Settlement” text-message spam to a batch of phone numbers (including mine). I forwarded it to 7726 (“SPAM”, the carrier’s spam-reporting address) and forgot about it… briefly, until an endless parade of morons began sending “STOP SPAMMING ME” complaints to the entire list, thus impelling me to forward each moron missive to the spam-reporting address.
