Just got a robocall saying that it’s from “Visa” and that my excellent payment record has qualified me for a 0% card. Just stay on the line and they can sign me up . . . I hung up at that point. Lying bastards. My current “Visa” is the debit card from my credit union.
On the up side, I got my teeth cleaned and x-rayed today and there was no damage found. So it’ll be six months until the next dentist visit, assuming nothing breaks in the meantime.
Holland Grill is filing for bankruptcy. They’ve already shut down their website, and apparently stopped shipping back in October.
All I needed was a new burner. 
Amazon did that to me yesterday and the order will be delivered sometime a week to two weeks from now.
I hear you, girl. I have long legs. I have to usually pay extra for more length. Are they ever the same? Nope, never. I don’t understand why. It can’t be that hard. Let the revolution begin!!!
Nostril zits. How can anything so little hurt so much and, once it’s popped, create uch a huge red scab?
5 days I have been trying to reach them, both online and by phone. 5 DAYS!!!
OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE.
Stop pushing this idea that we can’t go for the things we want and present our ideals as Democrats because it will make bigots angry and they’ll re-elect Trump.
There isn’t an entire army of angry bigots out there that DIDN’T vote for Trump but will do so if you make them angry by suggesting that trans-people deserve rights and respect or that medicare for all is a good idea or because you insult Trump.
And don’t you DARE suggest that we should not speak our opinions and ideals out of FUCKING FEAR.
You’re either a right winger being disingenuous and attempting to get us to stop pushing our agenda, or you’re the kind of fucking coward who thinks that if you just don’t do anything to anger the Nazis, you’ll survive the Nazi Regime. The special kind of coward who gets upset if his neighbor upsets the Nazis because well, that just makes things worse and if everyone just calmed down, there wouldn’t be any need for all this violent police state repression.

I would be angry enough to go!
I just read that Elizabeth Warren didn’t make it to the first tier debate with Sanders, Biden and Buttigieg, although Harris did. I find that very interesting. I guess I’ll get behind Warren now that I know that the powers that be in the dem party seem inclined to see that she is ignored as much as possible.
BTW, Warren is polling in second place in many polls, according to 538.
My understanding is that it isn’t tiers - they are randomly assigning people to each night.
Although I read somewhere that they are doing two draws by splitting the ‘viable’ candidates into two pools (based on popularity?) and putting half of each group randomly into each night. So each night should have a couple of stars and a bunch of no-hopers.
You have to make an appointment. If you call the local number, it tells you they can offer no assistance or answer any questions via phone. You have to call a different number to make an appointment.
Would it help to call your Congresscritter? Sometimes they can light fires.
As one involved in politics on the local level, I could not agree more.
Seems that there are a number of people… Pelosi among them… who need opinion polls to know when to do the right thing.
As Americans, it is up to us to fight this and not wait for others to take the lead.
How often do I need to hear that I need the consent of those with no honor in order to act with honor?
In short, I agree with your rant.
Dammit, they are not making $12 watches like they used to.
The tiniest of minirants…
In my humble opinion, restaurants that allow you to pick and choose your ingredients should always have a few good standard choices on the menu.
Yesterday I went to The Simple Greek and asked for a traditional gyro. The woman at the counter kept asking me what I wanted on it and I was saying “a regular gyro, like I would get at any other Greek restaurant”
But no, I have to answer twenty questions about various bits in order to put the thing together myself.
Jersey Mike’s sub shop gets it right: they have a few dozen basic subs and sandwiches on the menu and you can always say “Mike’s Way” and be assured of a tasty sub…or you can customize it to your heart’s content.
The most annoying place I have been to was Cheeburger Cheeburger. You have to tell them how to build everything in your order, your burger, your salad, your shake. The kids dragged me there once and I don’t think I’ll be back.
I don’t mind the options, but there should be a pretty clear solid good set of defaults for the non-adventurous types.
I’d like to know why my wheelbarrow and my 800# rated dolly both have flat tires.
More to the point, who the hell decided that a wheelbarrow or a dolly even needs pneumatic tires? We’re not concerned about getting a smooth ride here!

Every wheelbarrow I’ve ever used has had solid rubber wheels. I never saw one with get-a-flat-able tires since a few years ago.
The previous owners left the wheelbarrow behind; I wouldn’t have bought it. I did buy the dolly, but I didn’t even think to look closely at the wheels because it never occurred to me that they would be anything other than solid rubber.

In Spain those are still pretty new; Subway is making inroads but many people find them confusing, since we’re used to predefined menu items where at most you can ask if it’s possible to get some extra. You can tell whether the worker is new by the kind of questions they ask and how they ask them. For example, newbies will often ask someone who’s asked for meatballs “what sauce”, veterans know the usual answer to that is a confused “uh? What do you mean what sauce? You put in the meatballs with no sauce, how? It’s meatballs, they already come with the tomato!” so they tend to ask “any other sauce?” and get a “hell no, it already comes with tomato!”
We’re very clear on the concept of “meatballs which are already submerged in tomato sauce come with tomato sauce”. Corporate Subway, apparently not so much.
