i can’t think of the name of a TV show. and it’s really, really pissing me off.
Hints? We can probably come up with it…
Lost? Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Friends? Frasier? Freaks and Geeks? Square Pegs?
Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow - whatever I ate for lunch, makes note to self to not eat it again. Ow ow ow ow ow. I get a little pain every afternoon after lunch, but this is a lot of pain.
My uvula. :mad: I had some brunch (toast and Vegemite and coffee), and midway through work and reading the SDMB, I go “Hmm. I feel something in the back of my throat…” It’s not food or snot, so…
A quick look in my throat with a flashlight confirms it. Stupid little flap.
Time to start guzzling lots of cold drinks. sigh
Your uvula is infected? That happened to me once - just a little white patch. Weird, though.
Well, my stomach is almost back to feeling normal. I think this is probably a good thing - I have a short list of foods that I ate today, and at least one of them is DEFINITELY one that I can’t eat any more. Fingers crossed that it’s not the bread - I already suspect dairy, and if I have to give up bread, too…
What’s pissing me off today?
BP doesn’t seem to want to get their act together in cleaning up the damn mess–it’s more an irritation that the agency that caused it (as I see it) doesn’t want to take immediate responsibility. And the damn government’s letting it happen too.
We were all so fuckin’ gung-ho to tear into Iraq (a low priority, IMHO), but draggin’ our damn heels at a shitload ‘o’ oil puttin’ a nice sheen on things.
Long story short: I’m pissed at the lethargy towards fairly important things.
Tripler
Oh well.
Are you, like, new here or something? Most people in New England have air conditioners because the humidity seldom drops below 80% from mid-June to mid-September. You know, just like the other parts of the east coast.
One worker has been charged with 12 counts of cruelty to animals. If he’s convicted on all 12 he could theoretically get three years in the slammer (12 90-day sentences).
The investigation continues.
What a bunch of fucking shitstains.
I got as far as the the end of the second act of cruelty, saw what was coming with the third and couldn’t watch anymore.
Without even seeing the rest, I wish we had laws that would allow – no, make that mandate – that what was done to the those animals be done to the perpetrators.
This’ll be my fourth summer here, and my husband grew up in NH. Haven’t seen much of that kind of humidity. I wasn’t aware we were in such a rare pocket of lovely dryness – 50-60% is normal around here most of the summer.
ETA: We actually do own a “portable” AC unit, but it’s such a tremendous hassle to set up that we only bother if it’s gonna be hot for a few days. We lived in Texas for seven years before this, so maybe our standards are skewed.
Just exactly how did I make your check bounce again?
By depositing it?
How the hell was I supposed to know it was just for show?
Hey, mom, it’s not ok to slam shit and call people names and wake up the whole house because we used the “wrong” cleaner on the tub today. We cleaned the fucking bathroom, did you even notice? No, of course you didn’t, because you’re perfectly comfortable living in total squalor. Please don’t throw out the bottle of cleaner because “it’s ruined now”. That’s insane and a waste of money.
On a related note, if you had taught me at some point in my childhood that it’s not ok to be a total fucking psycho, I wouldn’t have wasted years of my adult life being an emotionally unstable crazy woman. Thanks for the years of emotional work, psychopath.
Asshole that I dated: Sorry for telling you how wonderful I thought you were. Apparently you are a juvenile that runs from honesty. Too bad. We had so much in common and I really could have dug hanging out with you for quite awhile. Scared you off, I did, I guess. Child.
I’m liking rants too much 
Dude! You rented a freaking pole shed in the middle of nowhere for $50 for the whole day, with a kitchen and walk in cooler, and bathrooms. It’s not a freaking supper club. No I don’t know where you can get catering, no we have no dishwasher. Yeah, it’s a bit dirty, it’s a freaking pole shed! No, there are no curtains to hide the stuff in the ticket booth. Tell me anywhere else you can rent for that price, and with the access a day ahead to decorate. So why could you not pay me the damn rental and deposit ahead of time when you were supposed to? There was really no need for the cheapshot comment when you finally did pay either. Next time, we’ll be booked, ya smug uptight bastard. I don’ t know the date, but we’ll be booked, go try get a classier place for the same price. Go ahead!
Now I’m angry that I don’t know what a pole shed is.
lol, basically a pole shed is a large simple shed usually sided with metal sheeting nowadays. This one happens to have concrete floors, bathrooms, a bar, a kitchen, walk-in cooler, lots of tables, and lined with particle board inside. It’s still basically a large pole shed.
I thought it was something you’d find in Warsaw.
But why would people rent them?
Possibly to hold a wedding reception, a trade show, a pancake breakfast, a family reunion, a spaghetti dinner fundraiser for an uninsured family with a cancer patient, or what-have-you without breaking the bank.
