I also wear glasses in the shower. How else would I see the knife wielding person intent on murder?
From my extensive research on knifings in the shower, the results are liters of chocolate syrup going down the drain…
What kind of psycho would do that with chocolate syrup?
I need to install safety grab bars in my shower so Hubster can continue the independence he achieved at MFB. I have the bars, I have the drill, I do not apparently have the skills. We live in a double wide. I had hollow wall anchors that are not working. There is something behind the shower wall that after about a half inch breaks my drill bits. I now have nine drill holes in my shower and not grab bars installed. I cried uncle and called my step daughter. Step d and her hubby installed the shower and neither of them can figure out what the issue is. She’s coming over Tuesday with some tools and some sort of snake light to see what we can figure out. I have a sore throat, a killer head-ache and am still sore from putting Hubster’s new standing desk together two days ago. At least I’m not driving 30 plus miles a day anymore. Grumble.
We have suction-cup grab bars. They work well for my 96 yo mom, but you probably like your hub more than that…
I have tried them and they are crap. I don’t trust them to hold him. He lost a lot of weight, but I assume he weighs more than your 96 year old mom … I’m pretty sure I must like him more than you do her? Maybe? How much don’t you like her?
Maybe if she stops trying to get me to tuck in my shirt, I’ll put a few anchors in the wall…
Hope you have better luck than I did. If she stops telling you to tuck in your shirt that is.
Well, at least my shower/glasses stupidity amused some of you. Everyone has a purpose in life, right?
This year hubby and I have decided to skip Christmas entirely. We turned down the invitations from various family, we’re doing no holiday decor, no gifts, no traditional foods. Instead we’re giving ourselves a nicer than usual vacation come late spring and dinner will be a traditional summer barbecue with ribs and potato salad and three bean salad and watermelon, and maybe s’mores. Why not? Then we’ll binge watch something suitable, like maybe all the Chucky movies. Or the original Star Wars trilogy.
I can’t tell you how much we are looking forward to it. We just have to be careful not to let any of the family know, because otherwise they’re bound to ‘rescue’ us, and drag us off for ham dinner and christmas caroling and midnight church services…
Yay! Monday morning. This past weekend Kizzy competed in an agility event on Saturday and Sunday. That meant waking up at 5 so we could be at the facility by 7. My job involved walking her in between her events, running errands for my gf, etc.
Kizzy did well. I’m exhausted.
Still feeling like mild crap: headache, sore throat, sneezy. There are many parts of me that feel tender. I was absolutely wired last night so I got maybe 5.5 hours of sleep (on the plus side, I came up with some new book ideas I had to keep getting up to write down - ain’t that always the way?)
I get up at 6:30am on weekdays. I told myself, just get out of bed, get your kid dressed and ready for school, then you can go back to sleep to rest and recover. But of course by the time I got through my morning routine, I was wide awake. That’s one of the drawbacks of taking stimulants. It’s very hard to nap. If I don’t get some rest, though, this sleeplessness is going to compound tonight, because it’s movie night, and typically we get shortchanged on sleep.
Lord, send me Zzzzs!
Speaking of the Lord** I found this and I think it’s a hoot.
**IANAC
That exists? Of course it does!
It not only exists, there are at least a dozen different variations.
Wow ! It has letters on the back !!
WHY ?!
I’m not sure. Maybe this helps people assemble it? I’ve heard of puzzles doing this. Puzzles are a hobby of mine, but I try to make them more challenging, not less. The most recent one I assembled straight from a bag, with my husband hiding the box so I had no idea what it was until I put it together. (It was an octopus, lol).
Ah, according to that link …
also has the letters on the back, will help you complete the puzzle.
I am none the wiser.
It also says :-
Completing this puzzle can bring you challenge, thinking, and positive upwards
power.
Sounds just what you need !!
Don’t grease your cookie sheet and don’t use parchment paper. The spritz dough needs to be able to “grab” the bare metal for the cookie to break off cleanly.
My mother just used a manual press. I’ve tried that and I’ve had an electric one. What I don’t have is my mother’s patience over many years of making spritz cookies. It’s usually not the fault of the press. The dough has to be cold, but not too cold, and takes experience.
My 4th UTI of the year, yay!
