Right now, this
It's like Google giving you an electroretinogram

It will not stop fucking raining! Our back porch has a couple inches of standing water already. Nevermind that we were supposed to get to take the kids out on a boat the day after tomorrow, at this point I'm starting to worry about flooding through the back door...

I'm glad that tornado missed you.:eek:

I'm not really pissed...just...I dunno...just wish I had a better timeframe.

Basically, I will be out in Kansas City until at least the end of this month, but possibly until December. Don't get me wrong...I volunteered to stay as long as necessary. I think the bosses in St. Louis could have a better idea though.

Based on how things have been going, I'd say maybe by the middle of next month, things should be stabilized.

Another week until I get paid!! That means I havent been paid for the past 2 weeks, the move cost me $1k more than I bargained for and I am paying rent and mortgage :::massive sad face:::

Can definitely sympathise. Have you found tenants for your old place?

If the rain keeps up, you may not get to take the kids out on a boat the day after tomorrow, you may have to take the kids out on a boat the day after tomorrow.;)

Yeah, they move in this weekend!

Im sooooo broke...but I will get through it without sponging off the dude or my parents.

If it gets desperate, we can send you a casserole (or something)...

was just thinking if we were in Japan, we could send you food that needs to refrigerated via Koorubin which is the cold store postage. The vans were yellow and had a huge pelican on the side. It made me smile everytime I walked past one. The normal postage was called Yukokubin (if I remember correctly)and was written in more difficult to understand hiragana and kanji.

I'll tell you what's pissing me off this time.

My FARKING neighbour who has been burning off fuck knows what for the last two days. I'm about ready to go hose him down!

Ohhh, is that illegal up there? Apparently it is down here....

Before I moved, I thought I would burn the rose clippings and grass clippings in my little burn pile....woke up at 5am, so got it going before daylight and as I was standing out watching it around 8am (being responsible :) ), I heard the fire alarm ...thought to myself...they are doing their usual testing as it stopped pretty quickly....I keep poking the smouldering heap and heard a fair amount of traffic noise in the street.

Poke my head around the corner of the house and BAM!!! theres 2 fire trucks, and 10 fireman out the front...they all growled at me and told me I could be fined $265 for burning in my back yard and took my details.

Apparently my neighbours complained about "toxic smoke", I dragged one of the firemen back to show him what was causing the toxic smoke, but they still growled at me.


Casi - Thank you :) I have plenty of food, fuel is a bit of an issue, but I found a $10 note in my jeans (Woot!) so we should survive until Friday and I get paid.

Excellent!

It was the least I could do. :blush:

Yep it's illegal, but the cops don't seem to care too much as long as no one complains. They're just on the next street, so they would have been able to smell it.

They're not doing it today, so that's a blessing. I think they were burning a stump out although I'm not sure. Anyway, hopefully it's all done now.

Let me know if you need any help Ducky. I know moving is very expensive and I feel your pain. xo

That's just how they dispose of their hobos.

By the way, where's Shawnee?
