Yes. New kidney Par-TAY!
Should it hurt?
Congrats, MissTake
I’ve seen your posts over the years about this.
The pain will resolve. And then you’ll be able to get on with the rest of your life!
And to whoever donated that kidney: thank you! I’m on the donation list for whatever parts of me can be used after I expire, and I sure wish more people would do that. It’s on my driver’s license.
I was walking back to the computer room when it started
<chirp>
Nah, I thought, it wasn’t THAT long ago we changed them…
<Chirp>
Frack!
<Chirp>
Let’s see, there are 3, scroll scroll WHAT, WalMonster doesn’t have two packs in the store anymore?
<Chirp>
Let’s check the blue box store across the street. They do!
<Chirp>
Schedule Vorlon Jr. to make an appearance tomorrow, who also needs to get a new CO/Smoke detector, since the one at the condo is detecting the shower right now.
<Chirp>
And immediately run into websites coded by monkey’s with Tourette’s syndrome.
When I say I want to pick up at the store, it doesn’t meen ship the flipping thing!
<Chirp>
End result is some stuff is coming from the Jungle, and some from the big blue box folk. Way to go to everybody else, you drove me away from darkening your door.

It’s gonna be a long night

My stove had been beeping an error code ever since the power came back on. Stupid LG crap. I was advised to unplug it for a minute and plug it back in. Worked, yay!
Now it’s back to blinking the time set code. I’m used to it. Done it since day one. Cannot be set. Tried everything. At least it’s silent.
I call that feature the “Power outage detector”.
Setting the clocks usually involves finding a teenager…
Like more people than you realize, I cannot donate any body parts. I’ve had one pre-cancerous thingy and one tiny definite malignancy so absolutely nobody can use any of my body parts. Not even corneas as I have a weird cornea defect.
Better keep us posted. There are dads here who’d love to get the chance to ask “How that kidney bean?”
GOOD!
I’m guessing this is symbolic of a hug. I concur with that sentiment.
But triple parentheses can be interpreted as bigotry:
Maybe this is pointless mansplaining on my part. If it’s peevish, I apologize.
Hooray! throws confetti
Yes, we use it both with () and with {}.
(((lobo!)))
Now you feel conflicted, but see, all the peevishness got hugged out of you!
Husbands CC hacked again:(! Within two weeks,$13,000 of airfare, hotels, travel clubs, Comcast…WTF. Of course the CC reversed charges. No problem. Gotta watch it like a hawk.
Thanks. Travelin’ is what I’ll be doing for the next couple of years. Try to hit as many National Parks/Monuments, roadside attractions etc as I can.
Congratulations! That is amazing news.
Yeah, LG. When I moved into this house about 8 or 9 years ago (who can keep track?) I bought an LG washer and dryer set, the washer being a fancy front-loader which I think is the only kind they make. The washer started making horrible noises on the spin cycle a few years ago – not just after the warranty ran out, which is the usual story – but just after the unpublicized “special secret extended warranty period” that they don’t tell you about ran out. The problem turned out to be the main bearing which is a HUGE issue requiring the whole machine to be taken completely apart and an expensive part replaced. At first LG said they’d fix it for a flat fee of something like $150, then the next rep I talked to said no, the time period for that support had expired by just a few months, sorry, fuck you.
Anyway I now have a Maytag conventional though high-efficiency top-loader that works great and cleans better, and I bought it from a place that hauls away your old crap on a one-for-one basis, so the LG washer is long gone. The LG dryer more or less still works but the moisture-sensing shutoff doesn’t seem to be particularly reliable. I’ve had it with fucking oriental appliances from fucking Korea. Love both of my Sony TVs, though, but I’ve always liked Sony, and it’s not from fucking Korea. My smartphone is Samsung, though (not my choice, freebie from the carrier) and I fear it may burst into flames.
I dont want the Internet of Things. I just want my stuff to work. Old school stuff, now being junked, is going to go for top dollar sometime. Got a cheap “connected” lightbulb when I was gifted Aexa…oh boy, that was annoying. Never got it to talk to the internet, it was busy playing dead! I think I gave up when I realized I had to pay for an account…ugg…one lightbulb.:mad:
And smart appliances? Like our Whirlpool washer? Yes they have a fault code, so you can replace 300 bucks worth of modules, motors, switches, plus 300 in labor, and have it still keep popping codes… only for me(unauthorized repairman) to find it was a corroding grounding screw, anchored at the BOTTOM frame, where everything collects, splashes and soaps etc, (and a leakyhose) instead of the TOP, where its nice and dry.
WD-40 and a tooth brush cleaning fixed that up.
And our 5k GE freezer, that never ever thawed its drain hole, always iced up. Many talks with reps later, we said the heck with it, turned it over and drilled a big drain hole ourselves. Works find now.
I’m thankful that this has never happened to me, but also curious. Presumably, the CC (and by extension, the airline tix) are associated with his name. Does this potentially place his name of any airlines’ lists of problematic ticket buyers?
I bought a fancy schmancy French door refridge. Worst appliance I ever paid $3thousand for. I was sick of replacing fridges. It completely stopped working within 3 months. The service man came took one look and said I’m bringing a new one. 3 days later he came with a new one. I’ve had it 2 years. Guys been here half a dozen times for defrosting problems and once the ice maker quit. It’s ridiculous.
Colonoscopy prep day. Need I say more?
Do gin and tonics count as “clear liquids”?
