June, What's Bugging You Now?

Yes. It’s exactly this.

I realise most people love food, and have this desire to see others also enjoy good food. But a few of us don’t care about eating, and would not eat at all if that was a realistic option. Just trust us when we say we know we won’t like it, and are perfectly happy with just bread and cheese. Honest.

“Free-range eggs” always makes me think of Humpty-Dumpty going for a walk with a friend.

Thank you for the tip. :slight_smile: I had supposed that I wasn’t interested in learning how to do new things on my phone, but recently I stumbled across a C&P routine even fat- fingered me could use (thus falsifying the hypothesis), so I’ll probably be checking this out.

They do. I have three browsers on my phone, two of them NOT Chrome or Firefox, and they all have a Find In Page command. As do most iPhone browsers, too.

My favorite is till from the late eighties, when the local grocery store labeled the chocolate chips “Low Sodium.”

Similarly, chopping 6 items and precooking 3 of them in different ways is NOT 1 step.

Cooking light magazine is guilty of this to make a dish look simple.

Or where they assume you have a stock of prepared items in your fridge. “Serve over risotto”… ummm, that’s another half hour there, bub. And, no, it’s not something you can just make a pot of, or even prepare a day ahead. Unless you’re Gordon Ramsey, and are satisfied with making half of it ahead of time and stirring cream into it right before dinner… and serving a gooey mess.

Broken dishwashers that are only 6 years old that require new circuit boards that cost $300 and take 3 visits from the repair guy, making the hand washing of dishes saga that makes Mr. Jynsters grumpy, that take 3+ weeks to resolve are bugging me!

Friday. The guy promised Friday it will be fixed. Thats what he promised me yesterday but come to find out the part that they ordered was not the part that was a problem. He was hoping because it was cheaper that that would fix it. He didn’t tell me that there was a possibility that that wouldn’t fix it and there could be some other problem. The only thing that is saving him right now is he will only be charging us for the part that fixes the problem. If nothing fixes the problem then we are only out the $80 service call.

48 hours. I have slept about 3 of those. Uggghhh. I have a new project I am working on, it has my head spinning and churning. I will be worthless today. Hello chair, tired eyes and pissed off pets. It’s gonna be one those days.

ETA. I just realized it’s Tuesdsy. Mr.Wrekker is due home today. Extra ugh. He won’t be happy I’m not sleeping. Oh, shit, Tues. means it’s longer than 48 hours.

“Have some homemade fudge! Oh, you want to know if those are walnuts? I don’t know. It’s whatever we had in the house, so they’re probably pecans. They do look like walnuts though…but I’m pretty sure they’re pecans.”

Yeah…pass. (And I don’t even have a real allergy – walnuts just make me feel like throwing up for some reason.)

Hoping this doesnt double post…

Double post for double the aggravation. :wink:

Considering that ‘wheat germ oil’ has been a popular ingredient in shampoo for as long as I have been aware, it wouldn’t surprise me to have any number of wheat or other grain derivatives in any given shampoo.

Last Thursday was the anniversary of my wife’s death and I’ve been physically ill all month. Depression sucks.

Well, what’s bugging me now is the improvements and repairs that I need to do at our vacation house. That would mean a lot of money to spend.

Sorry to hear that, dropzone. I know it’s been tough on you.

Here’s to brighter days. Feel better soon.

This morning I bet that the rain would stay mostly at a drizzle, got on my bike, and rode to work.

This was a really bad bet.

So, my school decided to move the graduation ceremony from Thursday afternoon to this evening (we were informed a week ago, so it wasn’t a surprise). Reason for moving it: severe weather forecast for Thursday. So, it’s Wednesday and it’s raining while we’re waiting for the evening outdoor ceremony to begin.

Tell them “No thanks, but if you’re worried about me shoplifting, you’re welcome to have an employee follow me around the store.” Then you can use said employee as your personal valet to hold all your stuff while you’re shopping. Win-win!
