I really appreciate the roommate cleaning the kitchen and cleaning out the fridge, but I wish he would have checked w/ me before deciding what should and shouldn’t be thrown out.
I brought home some hamburgers yesterday so that I could eat it for dinner tonight, and he threw it out because “they felt hard.” Well, they shouldn’t be soft if they are in the fridge…
At least now he’s gonna let me have some of the chicken he is grilling for dinner.
It occurs to me that if something happens to the halogen lamp during the daytime, the heifer need not find out about it until the Home Depot is closed for the night.
Blackout drapes at night, they do open in the non-sleep times … or do you dress and undress with the windows uncovered? Enjoy entertaining peeping toms?:dubious:

Yeah…no. I have blinds AND curtains on my window, ditto in the bathroom, and TheKid has black out curtains. The light still makes it through.
I have thought about removing the light, but it’s too open of an area and our neighbors across the street are always home, always watching. Retired neighborhood hens.
Tomorrow we take the asshole cats to the University to see an animal behaviorist specialist. They are supposed to be harness trained beforehand. Mayme is okay in the old harness, but it was getting a tad too tight so I bought a new one. Mistake. TheKid snapped it on backwards, so it was WAY too tight around Mayme’s gut, freaking her out. After she finally crawled out from under my bed, we managed to get it off with much caterwalling. While she was carrying on, she set off Lucy and Dot downstairs - one attacked the other. No blood, thankfully. Separated them. Dot and Mayme decided to take a stand against evil humans - in my bedroom. I walked in and was growled/hissed/all that fun stuff. Decided screw that, I’ll sleep on the couch.
Around 330am, Mayme walked up to me (I can’t sleep for crap on the couch, was awake off/on) like nothing had happened, purring, bopping my head.
Damn felines.
I can’t stop getting injured today. This morning at work I banged my elbow pretty hard. This afternoon at work I got a bad paper cut. (I know, it’s lame to complain about a paper cut, but it hurt!)
Then, on the way home, I stopped in a store to renew my bus pass. A bee or wasp, some sort of stinging insect, got inside my sweater and stung me on the neck, shoulder, and arm. When I walked out of the store and tried to take the bus home, I realized that my bus pass had gotten lost in my panic inside the store. I went back into the store, and luckily, someone in the store managed to find my bus pass (it had gotten left inside the store.)
Well, the good news is that my elbow and paper cut no longer hurt… but God, am I in a lot of pain from the three stings.

My husband just bought me a new one, found in the backstock of the Walmart in Soddy Daisy TN 
I’m so spoiled… (and I’m not asking what he paid for it :
)

My old one locked up on me twice today…granted, I was listening to a super-long podcast, but it still scared me.
“I can’t… I don’t have my glasses…” Makes me want to punch people.
So not pleased to have to go out in the rain at 5 am and catch the neighbor’s little shit of a mini-stallion who was thundering around my front yard screaming his wee head off. At least he behaved once I got a hand on him, but I’m glad he isn’t any bigger, rotten little SOB.
I would not have handled that with as much grace. Yikes!
Last night was really rough. The baby was super duper clingy and I needed to get things done. I finally got all the laundry down in my apartment’s laundry room when discovered a solid something in the machine I was about to load full of laundry. I stuck my hand in there, my face following, when the stench hit me. It was cat poop! Cat poop in the washer! I switched to a different machine.
I wish whatever the fuck is “Tapatalk” would fuck off and die. Turn off the douche-bag auto-signature dickwads!
Do you have a mini-mare in heat?
I do have a mini-ish mare (9 1/2 hands), she might be in heat though she wasn’t remotely interested in socializing (thank god). She thought grazing was a much better idea!
Tapatalk is a smartphone app used for forum reading and posting. I do use it myself when away from home, but my auto-sig is solidly turned off.
Found out today that my bestest work buddy is being transferred & may get let go in the process… this is the last thing he needs right how & I am not a happy Camper
I need glasses to FIND my glasses.
Once dropped them behind the nightstand, and had to go out to the car and get the prescription sunglasses to find my normal glasses.
Back when my wife had a sense of humor, she once explained that I was hopeless at skinny-dipping. I glared at her and said “Braille dear!”
Snerts, snorts, cracks up.
My husband decided he wanted to try contacts. He lost one of his trial lenses within 22 hours. My uncorrected vision is better than his, but I couldn’t see one of those tiny, clear things without my glasses. There is no way he’s going to be able to deal with them without his glasses on…which kinda defeats the point. (pretty hard to put contacts in while wearing glasses, after all)
Personally, I never put my glasses in a different place lest I lose them because how the heck am I going to be able to find them without them. Yes, I do have a spare pair in the bathroom, but that means having to navigate doors and cabinets in my blind search to find them.
My rant…I’ve given up my Sony e-reader because the library doesn’t support that format anymore. I went to a basic Kindle. I missed being able to correct things in MY copy of the book, but for the rest of it, all was good. What a robust device! It survived being dropped in the pool. It survived getting accidently flung across concrete and bricks without a scratch.
It didn’t survive being put in my back pocket and being sat on. Half the screen works, the other half is all funky. Lots of :smack::smack::smack: on me for another electronic device in the landfill.
Some people need schooling in the definition of the word “shipped.”
A few months back, i bought a new 4TB hard drive. It sat on my shelf for a while, and then, a couple of weeks ago, i decided to slot it into an external enclosure and transfer a bunch of video files. After a few hundred gigabytes, it stopped working and started making a strange repeated whirring noise. Then it stopped being recognized by the computer altogether.
Pain in the ass, but whatever. These things happen. I got a return authorization from the manufacturer (HGST), packaged it up, and sent it back. They notified me last Monday that it had been received, and two days later i got an email saying that my replacement drive had been shipped. The email contained a UPS tracking number, along with a warning that it sometimes takes a day or so for the shipped item to show up in the UPS system.
Two days later, i plugged the shipping number into UPS. No such number. Three days. Four. Five. On Tuesday, a full six days after being told that the package had shipped, the number is recognized by the UPS system, but even then there is no tracking info because it hasn’t actually arrived at their facility. Same situation all of yesterday. Finally, this morning, tracking was available, showing that it left Ontario, CA late last night and arrived in San Diego early this morning. UPS predicts it will be delivered today sometime.
Look, assholes, if i box up a parcel, put an address on it, and then leave it sitting on my kitchen table for six days before taking it to the post office, the simple fact of packing it up does not mean that the parcel has “shipped.” Similarly, if you package up a product and leave it sitting in your own facility for six days, the fact that you have assigned a UPS number to it does NOT mean that it has “shipped.” It has “shipped” when it leaves your facility and is actually on the way to my house.
That is all.
mhendo, there’s some thing with eBay sellers where, to get some kind of top-fancy preferred seller designation, they have to “ship” packages within 48 hours (or 24?). But as far as eBay is concerned, “shipped” means that a shipping label has been printed for the item. Even if that label is for a shipping date a week or two weeks in the future.
Tomorrow is going to suck. My husband is participating in the local Corporate Challenge by running a 10k and he wants us to be there to support him. YAY! Except the race starts at 8AM and he wants the WHOLE FAMILY to be there by 7AM. WTF are you fucking kidding me? So I have to wrangle three kids out of bed an hour early and listen to them piss whine and moan so we can be there super early with nothing to do and then sit and not actually be able to see you for 95% of your race? We are going to talk about it tonight. I don’t mind being there but I do not want to have to sit around for an hour with nothing for the kids to do (the Family Fun Zone doesn’t open until 8).
And then we are going to his grandparents’ house (that’s an hour drive away) at noon for a family reunion. I love going out there and seeing everyone, but I am on my period and that sucks for two reasons. One, they have a 60 year old septic system, so I can’t exactly flush my tampons. And two, I always get period shits, so I’m going to need to use the toilet about six times while we’re there. The house only has one bathroom.
Our oldest son has ADHD and Asperger’s, so he’s a handful on a good day. We have Adderall for him, but he’s only supposed to get it twice a day. I’m going to call his pediatrician and see if we can go ahead and do three tomorrow for the sake of everyone who has to interact with him all day. Otherwise there will be screaming, shouting, cursing, crying, and tears. Oy.
