Pico!!!! :)

AMEN.

Soon enough Apple will come out with an app that makes you think you are tasting honey, so...

Too late...

"Saving bees one apple at a time"
It's "honey" made from apples. Of course they don't factor in the need for bees to pollinate the apples...............

It's getting recursive.

Hi Dana!

*smiles*
How's life Pico?

Yeah. Exactly!

I think I posted it on the internet somewhere.

I had to memorize it in 8th grade German...I still know some of it. It is very dear to my heart.

Hi ME! Give Pico a biscuit from me and say hi. :)

What's pissing me off? I'll tell ya.

See this?:

That's the Firefox page that displays my saved usernames and passwords.

It should show 75 - 100 usernames/passwords. Gone. They're gone. They're fucking gone.

God dammit.

I am beside myself in anger. I'm fucking shaking.

Did you run some sort of cleaner that frees up disk space?

what os are you using?

Are you wearing your sunglasses indoors?

No back up? Was it just a saved html file? Can you use system recover to go back a few days?

Oh man.

That sucks.

lying hotel clerks

and bedtime. I don't want to go to bed.....

Did you eat beets?

If you've got windows 7 you can use the restore previous version feature.

find the current folder holding the now empty firefox passwords, right click and go to properites, click restore previous versions.

BAM

I hope you have windows 7

He must have forgotten his cellar password

But he can still read this!

Anybody can read this.;)

Even I can read this.:D

Footster, I will try the restore previous version thing. Thank you.

I should thank BigV also. He very graciously offered (via PM) to help me in depth with this, even though it sounds like he's got a couple irons in the fire already.

There was really nothing in there I couldn't live without. It just really pissed me off.:mad2: There were a few, ahem, adult oriented sites that require membership and signing in, but, nothing I had to pay for. I don't use computers for important things (read 'anything that requires being personally identifiable in any way'). I don't bank, pay bills, or anything like that over the internet.

I think most of the passwords can be gotten back using the 'Forgot your password?' provision most sites use. There are only a couple usernames I use for most everything, so...

Thanks for the help/suggestions my Feller Dwellers.

That done it. Got 'em all back!

Thanks for that Footy! I found that you can't do it with Firefox open and running, though.:)

praying competitions.
I'm praying for your kid in surgery
I'm praying for them and you
I'm praying for them and you and the surgeons
I'm praying for them and you and the surgeons and the nurses and the scalpel sterilizers and the administrators who bill the insurance.....

Don't bother trying to compete with them, you haven't got a prayer.

monster, stop being a cunt just because other people don't express their reaction to bad news in a way you deem acceptable. http://cellar.org/2012/nono.gif

Apparently propane is so popular that vendors are turning away paying customers. At least they won't open a COD account with me and they won't give me credit because of, you know, bad credit.

The tank I have is supplied by the company I used to have an account with until it was transferred to my ex's name during my hejira. The company wanted a $300 deposit that they keep for the life of the account (no interest) plus $180 to fill the tank and another $40/year for tank rental.

I told them to go pound salt, and I'm off to go buy a 100# tank and regulator, which kind of sucks because I had two of them several years ago and gave them away.

So they came and locked out the tank yesterday and I'm like, seriously? I've never even seen a lockout like that and I can see all I need is a small piece of pipe or a dowel to remove it.

I don't really feel like making the drive tonight to Lowe's, but tomorrow is busy. If it wasn't such a time suck I'd transfer the gas to the new tank.

They locked out gas you've paid for?

They did. They said they will refund the ex since the account was in her name and therefore, they assume, her gas. I can't be bothered to find the old contract and read the fine print but I'm sure there is something in there about why they are allowed to be dickish, and I wasn't about the send them a copy of the divorce agreement showing that the gas in the tank was now mine.

I'm back with the tank and regulator. Tomorrow I'll switch it over. I only use it for cooking and the dryer.

Get a used electric dryer. There cheap as dirt. Around here, anyway.

bruce, just stop being a cunt

the person named Sillya SomethingBrack-McSomethingface who has a shitfit in the team facebook group every time her kids' names are spelled incorrectly someplace new....... which started with my rostering her kids as SomethingCrack-McSomethingface BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SHE WROTE ON THE FUCKINNG REGISTRATION FORM. As someone with a disappearing E on the end of my last name, I get it, I really do.... but (1) ain't ever gonna change, better to learn to suck it up, realize when it really matters etc... pick your battles.... (2) YOU FUCKING CHOSE TO SADDLE THEM WITH THAT KEYBOARDFUL -I notice dad is just "McSomethingface"....... (3) you can't even get it the fuck right and that's the bit you've had all your damn life so STFU.

that is all.


;)

Ha ha ha

Hyphenated names are bullshit.

She whined once more so I told her (in a PM) about the reg form. next time it gonna be public. And I have a photocopy in my pocket to take with me tomorrow. Bitch better zip it.....

hyphenated names are a topic of debate but.....when they are unusual and have 7 syllables....... she is in charge of trophies and had to shorten their last names because there wasn't room on the plaques..... and yet she's still bitching......

We know an Indian couple who are outwardly pretty Westernized, but they are first-generation immigrants and we're pretty sure they were an arranged marriage. The wife kept her last name, but their daughter's last name is a third thing that seems somewhat derived from the husband's first name... like Betty Milkshake is married to Jacob Hamburger, and their kid is Sarah Jacobson. I don't know if it's a tradition I'm not aware of, or if they just pulled it out of their ass.

Reminds me:

About a hundred years ago I was in line at the (VHS!) movie store, when a guy comes in, lays the movie he's returning and receipt on the counter and walks out. Girl goes over to check his movie back in, looks at the receipt, and announces to the store in general:

"That man's last name has (pauses to count) seventeen letters in it. Three of them are vowels."

well that's one vowel per six letters.

Brightly is more consonant heavy than that, yet not particularly odd

So the Mrs and I bought a house...but our bank was hobbled by crack addicts who pushed the closing date around like 5 times. We closed last Friday...we were supposed to close 4 weeks ago.

Anyway, we went to Nebraska Furniture Mart. If you live in Dallas, Omaha, Des Moines or KC, you know about them...they're owned by Berkshire Hathaway. They have a YUGE store here in KC, KS. We spent parts of two days over there, meeting with a designer and selecting stuff. All we were waiting on was to close on the house. In the meantime, we're having a hard time getting in touch with the design guy at the store...we want to make a deposit or pay for our stuff outright, y'know?

Finally *I* call him--the Mrs had been mostly dealing with him--says he'll get back to me later today (Thursday). And he does...and tells us that they don't have a record of our order. Add to that, some of the stuff we wanted to order is no longer carried.

So that wiped out plans for the living room and dining room. Not to mention, we were going to buy a bed and a stove...so we were going to give these folks some money. And these stupid motherfuckers fucked it up. The Mrs was so excited...this is mainly about her. I wanted some input and got it, but this whole exercise was mostly for her. She was so pissed about it...and upset too. So naturally that pisses me off.

I'm still waiting to hear back from them after I raked them over the coals a couple times on Twitter earlier. But in the meantime, we'll start over...and focus more on spending money with local folks.

Always support the locals.

Sprightly.

Bur, but, what about that "sometimes 'Y'" thing?

Sprightl

bust beer can Catherine wheel.

not unusual for the crappy cans to pop a hole and start spraying as I pick them out of the case. This one, however, was a force to be reckoned with, so much so I dropped it in surprise whereupon the force of the spray was enough to make it spin on the floor, drenching EVERYTHING with beer as it went. everything. especially paperwork and my work clothes. motherfucker

Very picturesque!

sent by thought transference

The work clothes are no problem, just tell your cow orkers you've been moonlighting in a brewery.

It's child-butchering day in the library.
At least that's what I assume from the incessant screaming. Seriously, what could genuinely make a child shriek like that? And I know libraries have changed (sadly) but what sort of staff allow that?

God give me a Gatling gun.

Am hoping there'll be a BBQ later at least.

The shriekers are too stringy, give me a tubby couch potato slow cooked with cole slaw.

Update
 

I disconnected the tank and rolled it to the curb where it sat for a month. They finally came and got it. I spoke to the ex and told her that they should be refunding her for the unused gas. So I just heard from her that they sent her an invoice for $300.

I didn't follow up. but the company are assholes.

I really don't need to..... the empties for recycling are sorted right by my office, where the smell of stale beer masks the smell of the rotting garbage from the chute in the same location :vomit: (MI has a deposit on cans and bottles so customers return them to the store) ......And we have beer on tap at the café (sip 'n' stroll folks, $2 for a pint of good beer while you shop......)so it's pretty easy to drench myself with beer at any point of my work day if I'm daft enough to venture onto Cheese Island......

SEARS
Thursday morning I get up to no hot water. Tear the water heater apart and need parts. Now there used to be a SEARS parts place nearby but they’ve closed them all down. The only way to get parts now is online or on the phone. Since they use a bastard thread I have no choice, they don’t even reveal the actual manufacturer.

Their computer system was screwed up so after filling out all the information it won’t process the order. So I call them up and they tell me the computer system is screwed up and they can’t do anything. I finally got into the system and placed the order 5AM Saturday morning. I checked off “expedited delivery” for $33 dollars extra, which was added to the total. Later Saturday morning I get an email saying they got my order, didn’t charge me the $33 dollars extra, and I’d have them Monday.

On Sunday my plumber buddy came back from the shore and we went through his collection with no success. At the last minute he remembered he had an oddball for his camper and it fit. He also mentioned I stunk.

Tuesday afternoon I get an email from SEARS saying my parts had shipped and I may get them today(Thursday).

Fuck SEARS, never again.

I was poking fun at Sears not long ago on FB, but I was surprised at how many people still shop there.

Going to Sears was a big deal when I was a kid. We had a free-standing store not far from my house. Got most of my clothes there when I was younger. That store closed in the early 90s...and I don't think I've been in a Sears in 20+ years. I occasionally used to go to Kmart, but there aren't many left here in KC.

Sears is good for finding the part number and then ordering the part online from somebody else like amazon for half the price.

Sears also carries Land's End clothes, which are decent. And you can order stuff from Land's End online and if it doesn't fit, the brick and mortar Sears will take the return.

Also, when you abuse a Craftsman ratchet and break it, Sears will replace it, no questions asked.

That's all I have to say about Sears.

Wait. Their towels and sheets are good quality for a reasonable price. Macy's will charge you double the price for a similar product.

You can buy Craftsman at our Ace Hardware chain here in town. Don't know if all Aces do that now, but...yeah.

My ex-mother in law bought all her appliances through them...my father in law worked for them until he died, and she got to continue using his discount, which was nice.

They came today. Now the wait for the bill to see if they charged me an extra $33 dollars.

Best Sears story EVAR:

A former cow-orker bike mechanic found a huge box of rusty craftsman wrenches at a tag sale. They were completely fucked and he had to scrape to see the craftsman name. He took the box to Sears and dumped them on the counter. The salesman gave him this look and asked, "Where the hell have these been?"

My cow-orker told him, "It doesn't matter where they've been, they're here now."

He ended up with a set of new wrenches for about $3.00
