Yabbut all our playgrounds have gravel.

I mean yeah, she definitely ate some wood at some point, my only problem is how big is the piece and is it too stuck to be eliminated with diarrhea?

can you post a photo of the chip? then we can try to ID the species and you might have a clue where to look for the rest of it.

You say that like I would have any idea where to look for a certain species of tree after you identified it... I don't know from plant life; I hated biology.

I've had a cold for a few days now...that's annoying and all but manageable.Today I have developed a cough for no reason...there's no phlegm, nothing in me to be coughing about AND YET I AM COUGHING. argh

Clod, try the GFCFWF diet. :bolt:

Razz, have you ever been diagnosed with athsma? That dry cough sounds like it.
In my totally personal-anecdote, no-qualifications view, this kind of asthma is at least partly postural - make sure you are sitting/lying straight and exhale from the bottom of your lungs first - the cough may be your body trying to squeeze the air out after it has been trapped by having the middle sections deflate first.

I read that... don't go there, ever.:headshake

RUUUUUUN Razz has the swine flu, we're all going to DIIIIIIIIIE

First there's this post:

wherein mulch is mentioned as traveling and persisting in the environment...
then there is this photo with items that look suspiciously mulch-like.

:lol: he's got you banged to rights there, clod

HA HA HA AHaaaaaaaaaa

Excellent F3!

Probably the whooping cough that is going around actually...

I started this thread, and now hate to look at it--some of the things have been too awful!

:lol: Very nice, foot.

However, you may note that I met up with Flint and Pooka on the 3rd of August, and she pooped wood on the 26th of August. I'm really certain she doesn't take 3 weeks to poop.* However, perhaps a sliver got stuck in the tread of someone's shoe, and she picked it out of that.


*How am I certain? Because she is usually constipated, and we regularly feed her "marker" foods like corn, so we know how long things are taking to pass through her. Always has to be less than 36 hours (ideally less than 24,) or she gets a sprinkle of magnesium citrate.

We just use RFID tags. . . . LemonChiffon ???

I dunno, it was one of the whitish squares in the color choice window. My laptop doesn't have the greatest color differentiation, and I wasn't paying close attention.

:rotflol::rotflol:

OMFG that's the funniest thing i've read on here for a while. poor baby. :lol2:

Remember a long time ago I had to cancel all those loans, and I was so upset about it?

Guess what? The Bursar's office has sent final notices to those students and NOW THEY GET THEIR FUCKING MAIL?!?! I dug through files, checked multiple sources, re-sent every bit of returned mail to at least one alternate address, but NOW they get their fucking mail?

I'm getting no support from the uppers, one of whom was in charge of the program when the whole fiasco of a problem was made, way before I was here.

I won't talk to them today. I fear I'll say something to get me fired.

I don't understand, why are they only getting their mail just now?

They're not. They choose to only "get" their mail when the notice from the Cashier's office tells them they have a balance due.

It happened at my old job too. They ignore all the warnings and requests for information, then when they get a notice from the actual MONEY people, they're like "Huh, what?"

And it's WAY too late to reverse it now. As I stated would happen, in BIG BOLD LETTERS, in my multiple letters.

:headshake

sounds like they need some skunk snot delivered via airmail!

Ah. I do that with my student loan stuff too. I thought it was mandatory. can I have my skunk snot a la mode?

anyway you like it! a la mode or a la pew, it's up to you!

That's the difference. When a student is in repayment on a student loan...it's not something I have to deal with. It's between the lender (whether direct lending or by proxy) and the lendee.

This situation is between the student and the institution. I asked my boss for guidance and it was vague with a "sorry you got stuck with this."

I can handle it. I always do. I just wasn't in the mood for it today. :)

i am so sick of studying. for the past week and a half i've been taking on-line practice tests for the certified flight instructor - instrument written exam. hope to take it tomorrow but then i have to do the oral and practical with the FAA after that when i feel i'm ready. did i say already that i'm sick of studying?

time for a smoke.

I wouldn't say I'm exactly upset, but...

About a month ago, I applied for a job. The owner of the company started corresponding with me via e-mail just a few hours later. We talked back and forth, but our schedules were such that I wasn't able to interview with her in person until 2 weeks ago. The interview went great, and I appear to be the only candidate for the position. When we met in person, she was supposed to start calling my references...that was the 18th. I e-mailed her to get a status update early last Wednesday, but when I hadn't heard from her by Friday morning, I pretty much gave up on the job.

So I'm getting my car washed at my favorite spot Saturday morning...and I run into the owner! She actually saw me first...she apologized for taking so long, but that things have been terribly busy and that she hopes to call my references this week.

She told me during the interview that they are desperate for a new supervisor, but that they want to do their due diligence. And I realize that hiring processes can take time...but this is just so frustrating. All my refs know she's going to call, and it would take about an hour to call them, if that.

It doesn't help that my temp assignment ended Friday, and now I'm at home twiddling my thumbs.

What's upsetting me? Fuck dementia.

Two of my family members in California have been told by the authorities to evacuate numerous times due to the fire, but they're so friggin stubborn that they refuse to leave their houses. It's a waste of resources to have to keep knocking on their doors - They're pissing me off, but they just won't listen and refuse to budge. I hope the authorities arrest them, only problem is one of them is a cop, so he'll probably get to stay.

Why are they being assholes and threatening/risking other people's lives as well? They'll probably be first in line to sue somebody, anybody as well... GRRRR

Yeesh, you wouldn't have to tell me twice!

Aside: reminds me of this Eddie Murphy bit, years ago, talking about The Amityville Horror:

Seems like every personal conversation with Mum leads to disagreement with someone else :(
Great chat today. Intimate, understanding, accepting.
Except it turns out Dad has been complaining about me to Mum.

Partly, this doesn't surprise me. In that he is even more non-confrontational than I am. He is actually in the negative range when it comes to confronting people. He would slit his own wrists (if it wasn't a sin) rather than tell someone else they had wronged him.

But it's hard to hear that you've annoyed/ upset/ angered your Dad after the fact.
I used to hate Mum for this, but these days I mostly understand where she is coming from. Why should she be the one in the middle? Why should she listen to his complaints and not pass them on?

Apparently, I have been profligate in my use of electricity.
This doesn't just hurt because it's Dad moaning (although that hurts enough)
This rankles because I am - probably - the most energy aware person in this house.
Therefore it drives me round the bend that he can have an issue with me pausing something on SkyPlus (a bit like TiVo I think) while I check something out with Mum.

Now I am living here at my parents' behest. I am damned lucky that they let me stay, and I honestly do appreciate it. Really - it was always my nightmare, my ultimate shame to have to move back here. They have made it something I can both enjoy and accept. These are good people.

BUT. It bugs me that Dads brings up things that upset both Mum (because she's in the middle) and me (who they are aimed at) and they are nonsense. I could be more energy efficient. But really - not much more. If you take reasonable energy efficiency (normal, every day) as 100%, I am 75%, Dad is about 35%.

Meh.

I need to move out.
Just annoys me a bit.
No-one likes to be judged on something the judge isn't working on themself.

Luckily they're not the suing types, just stupidly stubborn sometimes. Like staying in their house will magically make the fire go around it or something...

My cousin is at the other end of the fireline, and the cops and fire crews actually asked him to stay. Perhaps because he has a huge pumper truck, and is protecting the stables surrounding his house where the stupid horse owners haven't come to evacuate their friggin horses...

Let's see, if I had fair warning that raging fire was coming, or a hurricane, or molten lava...I think it would be time for a roadtrip! Do they think there is some kind of bravery medal or something? :confused:

Wish there were that much notice for a tornado: that's what's gonna get me, a big old swirling, gobbling, tornado.

I'm pretty sure it's just a whole lotta testosterone flowing........."Watch me save my home with a garden hose" mentality.

lol...hope they catch it on film, and survive to watch the vid become viral!

Sorry - I was speaking in general terms not really specific to your family.

No worries. You're right though, that would be the mentality of most Angelenos - If I lose something, there must be someone I can sue.....

I know I am an ass but I thought it was about Poltergeist?! Didn't the TV say GET OUT?

I took that quote directly from an SNL opening monologue transcript. That transcript mentioned both Poltergeist and Amityville. I had remembered him using Amityville in a stand-up I had seen. So, you are right, and so am I. :)

Here's the link to the transcript:

Today, upsetting me: human trash.
