So far so good, but thanks for the info. I’m going to try it.
I still have The Cough. From January.
Found my leak. By-passed it. Will let the hole dry out and fix it later.
So, the first thing I did after turning the water back on?
Tried to water the lawn. With the disconnected hydrant. :smack:
Dumb-ass.
Convince him to donate it all to a non-profit organization that provides low-cost PCs to low-income people. Here in Minnesota & Colorado we have PCs for People but there are probably others in your vicinity.
Then you can deduct your estimate of the value from you taxes – much easier than trying to sell all that stuff, and probably gets you just as much value.
It bugs me when I have to bag my own groceries. I’m not good at it. I’m probably overreacting.
My workplace has many doors that auto lock and require the use of a fob to open. Many of us are too lazy to dig through purse or pockets 50 times a day so we hang the fob around our necks.
Last night, as I was leaving work, I swiped the fob over my car door lock and wondered why I didn’t hear the lock click. :smack:
I’ve walked up to my house way more than once pressing my car key fob. D’oh!

Last week*, when a co-worker was ramping up to yet another screechy diatribe about how everything is going to hell (without even a handbasket!), I clicked my fob at her and said “Oh, look, the Panic Mode does work!”
*Ummm, I meant next week… (See, that didn’t actually happen. Because when I reached in my pocket, I realized my keys were in my jacket, but I’ll be ready next time!)
New guy in my office is fundamentalist, anti-science, anti-vax, YEC, AGW denying, paranoid conspiracy theorist, Trump spporting Canadian. Other than that, he’s okay.
I think I will pass on this baby bird soup ! And I did have turkey hotdogs for lunch .
I will try not to think what it was made of ! :eek:
I’ve tried to use the car alarm remote to open the gate to my complex and vice versa. I’ve also tried to use each remote to open my front door at least once.
my mother tries to turn the TV off with the cordless phone and fireplace remote.
At least she has Dementia as an excuse…
Pneumonia. The creeping chest crud that has been going around for the past week, that I picked up last Thursday took a week to roll into full on pneumonia. I hate pneumonia, I am permanently exhausted - every time I try to fall asleep, right on the verge of actually sleeping my body decides to wake me up with racking coughs. sigh Right now I am so tired I think I would voluntarily go in for a week of sedation coma.
Would sleeping sitting up do any good?
And the power just went out.
Lovely.
It’s bad enough the natives act like it’s the third world around here…
Powers back, we have rejoined the first world.
I got an email from an organization calling themselves Fightforreform,org.
I’m sure they’re well meaning, but good Lord–
The email says that Nevada has just become the 19th state to pass a proposal to overturn the Citizens United decision.
“It only takes 38 states to ratify a Constitutional Amendment,” points out the email “-- so we’re halfway towards the support we need to END Citizens United!!” (Double exclamation marks in original.)
There are so many things wrong with that statement it’s hard to know where to begin. Let’s see, three things: passing a proposal today does not equate to supporting an amendment down the pike; we’re close to saturation, as most of the remaining states are extremely unlikely to add their voices to the END Citizens United!! choir; we would need a two-thirds majority in both houses of congress to get the ball rolling (good luck with that).
Look, overturning Citizens United is on my list of Good Goals. It’s not at the very top of that list, but it’s there. But this kind of thing is intellectually dishonest. IT DOESN’T HELP. And I wish they’d cut it out.
Fuckin’ FLEAS man. We got Advantage for the cat and Frontline for the dog a couple days ago, and there’s so much DE powder around the house it looks like that scene in Goodfellas right after whatshername throws the brick of cocaine. So right now the fleas are in that last-ditch desperate attempt to find any non-poisoned warm body. I either feel (and see) them, or think I do. twitch
My sympathies. I’m trying to figure out outdoor perimeter defense against fleas, so the cat can use the patio. That’s the only possible source I can think of for fleas I’ve found on her, since the only other animal she has contact with is the bird in the same household.
I’m just totally fed up with every goddamn thing. Including the Dope.
