Too Damn Hot or Not Hot Enough: July Minirants

That’s it: when do you want to go out, SFG?

What’s hilarious is that what I wear to run is probably the most unflattering outfit humanly possible. Even shirtless.

To the former, maybe. To the latter, I don’t think that’s possible. Then again, it is Milwaukee… Eh, offer still stands.

You can have the tax refund check I got on my old car last week. Thanks, City of Alexandria. That $5.54 will keep the wolf from the door.

I dunno, I bet you could get some pretty good offal for under $5, and that could help lure the wolf to the neighbor’s door. Bonus if the neighbor has dogs and/or children in small sizes.

If there is going to be offal in this house, I am going to eat it. I am British, after all, and offal is offally good.

Heated socks.

Not exactly a fashion statement, but most people aren’t showing off their ankles in the winter anyway. You will have toasty tootsies however.

I have an ear ache for the first time in, oh, 35 years. Go away!!

Dear Produce Buyers of every fucking market I shop in: You can’t set your own date for when fresh fruit and vegetables will be ready for harvest. Stop insisting delivery of said produce too early. I am sick and tired of too green melons that have been twisted off the vine, cherries that are pink instead of dark red, and peaches with the consistency of granite that go bad before they have a chance to ripen, you useless fuckers. Just stop it.

Yes, I will take my life in my hands and start attending the “Farmer’s Market”. If I can find a parking space. :mad:

Now I’m trying to remember who I was talking with who kept using the phrase “offal culture.” And I’m not even sure it wasn’t a dream.

What’s depressing is they might not even work for me. There have been times where I’ve wrapped my feet in a heating pad and it didn’t work. Generally, I need to warm up my entire body to get my feet warm (e.g., take a long hot shower).

It’s a deal! You do like cats, right?

This is completely unrelated to your post, but was your username always supposed to end in Whia, or was it a slip of the pinkie from Whiz that you just decided to keep?

I think if I remember correctly that it was the latter. The WHIA part made people laugh, so s/he kept it.

This makes me wish my user name was Chia_Whiz.

I wish my husband would stop playing video games until 2 a.m. and complaining that he’s too tired to get out of bed the next morning when the kids wake up at 5:30 a.m. Dammit, I get out of bed regardless of how much (or little) sleep I’ve had. Why can’t you just a) shovel your bum out of bed in the morning with the kids once in a while or b) set a timer for yourself at night and actually follow it. I love you, but I hate it when people complain about something, then do nothing to fix it.

You asked me earlier why I always take the first shower in the morning because you’d “be more than happy to” so I can stay in bed longer. I appreciate the sentiment, but I can’t wait until 9 a.m. to take a shower since I have to have dropped children off and driven the 45 minutes it takes me to get to work by 9 a.m. When you’re able to get up at 5:30 or 6 when the kids do, we’ll talk. Drives me bonkers.

Agreed. This may be the most obnoxious thing on the planet.

The good news is that I’ll never have to take that four hour bus ride home from work ever again. Sigh.

It was a slip of the pinky. :slight_smile: However, I was encouraged to keep it, so I did.

:stuck_out_tongue:

I mean, OTHER than that. :slight_smile:
