Isn't that what fucked up marichiko?

ZenGum 02-05-2011 05:51 AM

That stuff has been banned here for years. You guys are way behind.

Griff 02-05-2011 07:45 AM

Banned? Your streets are awash with it!

monster 02-05-2011 08:13 AM

Did you just accuse an aussie of washing?

I get a regular bed filled about full for $50. I still have to chop it as most of the bits are to big. The majority I harvest and cut myself from fallen limbs of Pecan.

plthijinx 02-11-2011 11:38 PM

ugh. at work. it's cold. i'm exhausted. it's only 11:35pm a little less than 2hrs before i go home. 45 minute drive then i have to do a little work on the bathroom downstairs. i don't think i'll be in bed tonight until 4:00am only to wake up at 9:30am for another 14 hour day.

Sundae 02-20-2011 02:16 PM

Mum decided that the man in the bed beside Grandad was there because he was on drugs.

For no reason I could really understand. But part of her decision was because he didn't eat his soup yesterday, and yet he claimed he had when his parents were there.

He looked about my age and we had a conversation yesterday.
I saw him eat his soup (part of our conversation was that Mum thought it was disgusting but she hates peas; he admitted loving mint and adding it to many dishes).

As with many of her knee-jerk impressions, I can't accept it as valid. And given some of the things I've heard her say about me, and the twisted versions of events I've heard her relate, I shouldn't be surprised. Sigh.

FTR Grandad is speaking better than he has in years. Very little stuttering and repetition. Sadly, he is not speaking much sense. This has deteriorated within DAYS. Mum is unlikely now to get power of attorney, which is awful. Much as I bitch about her, she would never abuse the position.

He thinks the men in the cubicle opposite are causing trouble for Nanny - or sometimes Aunty Alice, they both had the same name but he called Aunty Alice, Lal and he sometimes interchanges them now. He's also been asking for Gip to sort them out. Gip is Guiseppi, an Italian friend who was his Best Man. Gip did have a reputation, and held both Nanny and Lal in very high esteem. Dead for years now of course. Gdad got a card from Gip's Grandson at Christmas - I read it out but he had no idea who he was, "One of your Mum's friends. Or a wrong address or something." Took it home to Mum and she was indignant - "Of course he knows him, he brough his Mum to his [Gdad's] 80th" Ah well.

Sorry - a lot of that wasn't irritation.
And I probably should be easier on Mum.
Still, better out than in...?

I have a nail in my tire. crap! I suppose I'll have to take it to the tire place and hope they can plug it. Would not want to replace a brand new, barely one-month old tire!

monster 02-20-2011 07:32 PM

Ask the dealer first. It might be covered. It would be if you bought new tires from Belle Tire etc.

Clodfobble 02-20-2011 07:35 PM

I'm sure I'll get yelled down by the car gurus here... but if the tire isn't actually leaking air--and it might not be, sometimes the nail completely plugs the hole it makes--there's really no need to have it repaired. I drove with a gigantic construction nail in one of my tires for about 18 months, and ultimately replaced the tire for tread wear without ever needing an air refill.

Cloud 02-20-2011 08:18 PM

but it's sticking out the side about 2 inches.

monster 02-20-2011 08:34 PM

And the tire isn't deflated?

zippyt 02-20-2011 08:38 PM

A nail in the tread will need to be fixed , never know when its going to be flat
if its in the side wall they May be able to patch it

Cloud 02-20-2011 08:41 PM

not deflated yet. I just noticed it today. Maybe I should call AAA -- I think they patch tires/

zippyt 02-20-2011 08:56 PM

go to your dealer or a tire shop , shouldnt be expencive ( $25) unless they have to replace the tire

monster 02-20-2011 09:00 PM

check with the dealer. then AAA. Don't pay if you don't have to.

footfootfoot 02-20-2011 09:38 PM

I moved all my music files around in windows and then realized too late that they were no longer where itunes expected them to be...

The good news is that after I consolidated the music I ran dupe cleaner and was able to delete about 45Gb of dupes.

Cloud 02-20-2011 09:40 PM

I'm pretty sure the warranty excludes stuff like nails, but I'll check.

Griff 02-21-2011 07:49 AM

My right side and thumb are irritating. I was carrying (2) 2x6x10s under my right arm and slipped on the ice. While I lay there, I was very sure I broke some ribs. Today it doesn't even look like a postable bruise.

monster 02-21-2011 09:23 AM

New computer goes "click" everythime I follow a link. need to find the sound effect options.....

Shawnee123 02-21-2011 10:58 AM

Badly disguised double entendres that actually are pretty sexist and puerile.

Yawn and barf.

monster 02-21-2011 11:19 AM

oh do share so we can all be irritated..... or was it me?

monster 02-21-2011 11:19 AM

....found the sound effects, can't make the clicky stop.....

Eh, it's obvious from a couple other of my posts today. :rolleyes:

No, it's not you. :D

Cloud 02-21-2011 01:00 PM

yep; need to buy a brand new tire. and the dealer doesn't even have it in stock, so they are ordering it.

the good news is, my particular vehicle comes with a full size spare; and by that I mean, an extra of the same regular tire, so I can drive it around. yay! that's a comfort--I don't have to deal with a crappy donut or something.

Griff 03-06-2011 05:34 PM

10" - 15" of snow and a flood watch... srsly?

monster 03-06-2011 08:23 PM

yarly.

footfootfoot 03-06-2011 08:29 PM

Rain, then ice, then snow, then icy snow, then snowy rain, then rainy ice, now snowy, icy rain.

monster 03-06-2011 08:57 PM

variety is the spice of life.

footfootfoot 03-06-2011 11:23 PM

and a steady rhythm is its source

Griff 03-07-2011 06:35 AM

Holy mother of f*ck... We're gonna be here a while.

jimhelm 03-07-2011 10:01 AM

ohdeargod.

Sorry, Griff.

Last night, I was saying to a friend that I was very glad that the rain that fell all day yesterday wasn't snow.

bleh.

Shawnee123 03-07-2011 01:40 PM

Broken screen on my new phone. I think it got caught between my coat pocket and my seat belt thingy.

I don't think I got any extra warranties (again, I try to save a little money on ANYTHING and it gets fucked up...see "2 Week Old Car") but who can tell from the website?

I guess I"ll go to kiosk town in the mall and see how badly they would like to fuck me. (and I mean moneywise...no awesomeness will be exchanged for a mere communication device.)

I may just live with it. It works, but my next new every two isn't for 18 months (if I go early.)

Gawd hats me.

monster 03-07-2011 01:41 PM

ugh. That happened to hebe's new phone too. The external mini screen that shows the time/who's calling

Shawnee123 03-07-2011 01:42 PM

It covers the whole surface, looks like a cross between a spider web and lightning. :mecry:

My dad is right: I have the worst luck of anyone he knows. :lol:

Griff, my brain can't parse the scale of these pictures correctly. Is that your car buried under there?

footfootfoot 03-07-2011 11:09 PM

I'm guessing that's the rotary. (turn around)

monster 03-07-2011 11:32 PM

Is that like a reach around?

There are two cars in the turn-around. On the left is the Suzuki which is facing the camera. You can make out the mirrors. On the right is the Subaru which has some paint showing. We probably got 2 feet of falling snow but the swirling wind made some big drifts like on the left side. The house was also plastered in the white stuff.

Clodfobble 03-08-2011 11:42 AM

Ah ha! Now I see it.

Shawnee123 03-08-2011 01:45 PM

Something or someone smells like dead socks. I swear, would anyone really eat limburger in an office????????? 'Cause, that is what it smells like.

monster 03-08-2011 01:48 PM

pen-tapping back-stabbing guy?

Shawnee123 03-08-2011 01:52 PM

Heh. I don't know. Maybe it's the gangrene forming under my nail that I smell.

monster 03-12-2011 10:53 AM

I just took a gamble with rack management in facebook scrabble and now I have four Is in my last rack. :rolleyes:

You have :eyeball: :eyeball: :eyeball: :eyeball: in your :ggw: ?

Kinda weird, but you can never complain about a guy not making eye contact, then.

monster 03-12-2011 07:12 PM

We opened at noon. It's only 12:35. One complaint already about being rude. Not to mention people are SOS today already, that's Stuck On Stupid. I'm not being rude. My allergies are kicking my ass right now. Excuse me if I don't cue up the utopian music during my pre and post ride speaches. Today is going to suck.

Trilby 03-21-2011 08:53 AM

My mother - and her bottomless needines.

I know, I know, lucky to have her, etc., but the woman is exhausting.

infinite monkey 03-24-2011 01:24 PM

know what i'm saying?

sounds like: knowwhuI'msayin, knowwhuI'msayin, knowwhuI'msayin, knowwhuI'msayin, knowwhuI'msayin, knowwhuI'msayin, knowwhuI'msayin, knowwhuI'msayin.

A close relation to: seewhuI'msayin, seewhuI'msayin, seewhuI'msayin, seewhuI'msayin?

No, I have no fucking idea what you're saying. In fact, I think you mean to say "is this procedure correct, and are we following regulations?"

Yeah, my head hurts. :(

So shut up.
