I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. In my first apartment, the water was safe to drink. But, it had an unpleasant taste. I did not pay for water under the lease. So, it made sense to look for some cheap, no calorie, sugar free way to make the tap water taste good. I tried various things and was very happy when Mio came out.
There are various mini marts in my neighborhood. If I want skim milk and certain other groceries, I need to ride the trolley to Target. They have a section of Mio and such. That section has not been restocked in about a month now. No one there can tell me why.
My Gobhi drove to a grocery store in Jersey so that I could buy Mio and a few other things. I bought around $40 worth of Mio.
Totally serious. Once the refrigerator is squared away… someday, fill a glass with ice water. Add a few drops of MIO. Add a plash of lemon juice. Stir & Enjoy!
It’s a little tart, but it has very few if any calories and zero alcohol.
I passed out on the sofa last night. I awoke at 4:30*am to an ‘infomercial’ for one of the sports betting apps. When I am king they will be banned. Iffn I only make it to president, if I can’t have them banned they will at least be required to have a banner on screen, at all times, stating this is a ½ hour commercial & one should not take anything stated in said commercial at face value.
Anyway, it was 4:30 in the morning, I had enough time to go upstairs, get undressed & get into bed & go to sleep for a while. However, when I got upstairs & looked at the watch, it was 5:30 in the A M. I hadn’t updated the clock yet last night & we lost an hour to DST. I probably would have just stayed on the couch if I had realized what the real time was.
Not a rant, but when I left my house in the 7 o'clock hour, after getting up, showering, getting dressed, eating, & getting my stuff together (see, why I would have just stayed on the sofa if I realized it was 5:30?). The car thermometer stated it was 32° out. I passed a *parked* car with all four windows all the way down & the sunroof opened. Second thought was maybe they accidentally pressed some button on the remote & didn't realize it. First thought was what did they do in that car that made it stink so bad they had to leave all of the windows, & sunroof, open all night in freezing weather. I would have loved to have seen a bird sitting on the seat/console but I went on my way w/o inspecting it too closely.
This is a very minor mini-rant, and suits the month.
I habitually walk barefoot. But it is the hottest month of the year, and while walking barefoot to the shops and back, I burned the soles of my feet. Not so bad I need medical attention, but bad enough that it tingles all the time and I HAVE to wear shoes
Knowing this… knowing this, because my car is in for a service, I knowingly marched about 8km to share a meal (my birthday) with my kids. And 8km back. I am fit enough for this, but oh my. My feet were not, even though I was wearing hiking shoes.
They said they needed to make an annual inspection and that they had notified me on Friday. I said that I had not received an e-mail, physical letter or phone call. They said I had been notified by the website I use to pay rent. I was stunned, unsure what to do and let them into my apartment.
They did not seem horrified. One of them asked about one of the action figures I have on display.
I am now waiing to see if they decide that my apartment qualifies as “extreme hoarding” and evict me. Also, I logged in to the website. They never sent me notification there either.
Due to moving job/industry and house the whole ‘ get a flu shot’ thing was forgotten , I ended up in ER with breathing issues and fever etc etc, fortunately just a vicious case of Influenza A and not pneumonia.
Probably would have gotten the flu anyway as I was at a trade show last week, but at least it would have been milder. To add to the suck the kids are back for spring break so I’ll wave at them from the bedroom .
I am still pissed that my Google Timeline totally disappeared a couple days ago. I had configured it correctly way back in the fall when first notified of upcoming changes. I thought I was safe.
Almost 10 years and countless international and domestic timelines gone. Oh well I guess I will just have to live in the moment for now.
I have now decided to forget about counting on maps for anything except immediate directions.
I have been trying, with the help of experts, to find out if I have more health insurance than I need. One of the experts said I needed to find out if the prescription plan I get through my employer is “creditable coverage”. I do not have time to navigate the menus and get a human agent during working hours. The member service line is only open during working hours. So, I tried sending a message on the website. The description of this option made it sound like the message would be read by human beings. The response I received makes it seem like I am dealing with a chatbot. Dealing with a chatbot was one of the other options. If I wanted to do deal with a chatbot, I would have freakin picked that option! The response while polite and grammatically correct, does not answer the question I asked!
I have mine intentionally disabled. Creepy AF big brother. My location is only turned on if I’m actively using it, like currently navigating somewhere in maps. I also use maps when I need to know how to get to/from somewhere; I don’t use it for going to places that I know how to get to though I know some people won’t start their car w/o it running. I lose the ability for find/wipe my phone w/o location on all the time but I have never ‘lost’ it before. Sure, I’ve misplaced it in the house (or car) but I knew it was around somewhere (as in I was talking to her earlier & haven’t left the house so I know it’s here somewhere but where did I put it?), not in the hands of a bad guy.
I am trying to get an answer I need from my health insurance company. I tried signing in to their web site to see if their was a new message in my inbox. There is something wrong with the site. Instead of the correct page, I get a blank page and a tiny window saying there is an Oracle error.
