Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Where the hell is my fire TV remote. I just had the damn thing. I haven't gotten my fat ass up off the sofa, and yes I've checked down the cushions and over the side.

I lose mine on the top of the back of the sofa, sometimes.

Over the side and under the sofa turned out to be the sweet spot. If I install the app on my phone, does that mean I'll start losing my phone?

Things I apparently need tracking devices on:
- my tweezers
- keys
- lighter (for rare candles)
- correct coloured bra for chosen outfit
- landline handset - although that's because only my Godfather ever calls me on it
- stamps
- buspass
- glasses/ prescription sunglasses
- library books
- birdfood
- appropriate footwear :o

The one thing I can always find is my umbrella, because knowing how easily I misplace things I decided to prop it up on the landing outside my flat (I'm on the top floor, so no-one uses this space but me). I've only unfurled it once since I bought it because I have short hair and prefer to wear a hat.

Boxers. Boxers have me mildly irritated today.

To wit:

In his most recent fight Floyd Moneyweather made app. $180 million bucks. For 36 minutes fight time. 2,160 seconds. $180,000,000. That's $83,333 per second.

Awesome? Not even close.

In 1988, Mike Tyson knocked out then undefeated Michael Spinks in 91 seconds. Tyson made $22 million. In 91 seconds.

That comes to $241,758 per second.

So, yeah, I'm just a little ticked rfn.

oh, I thought you had an underwear malfunction issue

Sleep deprivation. I guess that's to be expected when one works two jobs at opposite ends of a day, but I am B-E-A-T BEAT today.

That's OK, I don't work the 9 am job on Friday so after I get off work at 1 a.m. tonight (tomorrow morning) I have a bottle of wine ready...then don't have to go to a job until 9 pm Friday night.

Then I have a whole weekend! I haven't had an entire weekend in a couple of months. What, oh what, will I do? The world is my salmon (I hate oysters.)

Can you sleep OK when it's time to sleep?

Usually I can...the problem is I haven't been able to lately. I used to try to take a fitful nap between jobs, then get about 5 hours at night (around 2 am to around 7 am) but the nap has been a bust and so has the sleeping at night. I don't know why. I just toss and turn. I feel pretty used to the schedule so I'm not sure why I suddenly can't sleep, when my entire life I could've won an Olympic medal in being able to sleep great almost all the time.

Weird. That sucks.

Try stretching before you sleep. Especially this stretch, with your butt right up against the wall.
Attachment 52576

I started doing this recently and it has done wonders for my sleep. I stay in that pose for a minute or two just before climbing in to bed.

I'll try it. At night I am often pretty achy from the physical work. I don't take many pain relievers, due to the aforementioned wine, so maybe achy leg/feet/hip thing isn't helping. Maybe the stretching will help.

btw, glatt, you look totally different in that pic! Is your new name gaitlyn? ;)

Try it. It will press your lower back against the floor and decompress your spine. Obviously, if it hurts, stop doing it, but I think you will find it relaxing, and you will sleep better. It will also stretch your legs. One or two minutes only.

And don't stand up quickly after doing this or you will faint. Get up slowly and crawl into bed.

Oh, and too much wine will hurt your sleep too. It generally helps you fall asleep faster, but then disrupts the sleep later in the night. Which seems so unfair. Moderation.

Oh, I know. But I don't have time for the wine during the week! I can lounge around in the mornings on the weekends so sleep isn't an issue then. It's just the trying to sleep after working until 1 a.m. and getting some rest before the next morning.

I'll try it.

My sleep is mostly fine, I work hard, physically, so I'm tired at the end of the day. But many times, I have cramps in various muscles in my legs that attack me when I'm just trying to roll over or shift the covers. Ho. Lee. Shit. From zero to excruciating in nothing flat. The worst is when muscles from opposing groups are both cramping--no stretching one because it exacerbates the other set. JFC. Or when both legs are cramping, just misery.

Stretches? OK! It can't be worse.

Potassium.

Or possibly calcium. I used to get excruciating nightly leg cramps that started during my first pregnancy, now about 95% eliminated with a hefty calcium supplement.

Magnesium

UT, you crack me the hell up! Laughter, the *best* medicine.

So the other day I call me landlord's manager about an AC unit that isn't working properly, and he says he's busy and will call me back. He doesn't, I catch him again a few hours, "he'll take care of it" and hangs up, nothing... I call the next day, nothing, leave messages, he ignores... And I am on my edge, I am just about to give him the smack down about who the fuck he think he is that I need to run after him to get him to do his job, by this point I am furious, calling with the explicit plan of exploding all over his face, and then... And then he answers, and... He's bloody nice and helpful! and gives me the number of his AC guy and says he'll pay for everything and will re inverse me for some of the stuff i've paid for the apt on my own and even pay me because the other neighbor told him about me fixing the shared fence...

The nerve. Fuck that guy.

Last night, as I slept, someone came and stole my eyeballs.
I mean I know that was always a recurring fear of mine, but maybe it was actually a premonition or something.

They took them to a sandbox and kicked them around in the sand for fun.
Then they brought them back and re-inserted them.
I should be grateful that they're here. But bloody hell they hurt this morning.

Apparently, I've been sleeping with my eyes, both of them, open. I wake up and my eyes are so dry they're painful to open/close.

Maybe Sullivan and Wazowski are messing with you? ;)

You could try using an eye mask. Minifob sleeps with one every night. Black satin, very stylish. :)

No monsters under mah bed...Momdigr checked.

Stupid phone died this morning with no warning. No charge lights, no life of any kind. Instant brick.

Fortunately I didn't have much data on there that wasn't also backed up somewhere else, just a handful of photos from the last few days and, oh, every phone contact I had added in the past two years. For some reason those had only gone to internal phone memory instead of the SIM card. So I have the number of every high school friend I haven't called in ten years, but none of the two dozen food co-op people whose numbers I will need to know at the delivery site tomorrow. Rat bastards.

On the upside, I have a new phone. On the downside, everything is different, and I hate different.

On the upside, you have a valid excuse to avoid people you don't like tomorrow. :haha:

Then you'd probably like me, I'm indifferent.

Stupidly, I clicked on a link from an acquaintance's email. What the heck?!!?? I never click on links from friends' email anymore. They're all spam and viruses. And this person is on vacation. Why the fudge would he email me??!!!!??? Sigh....just venting....sorry. No anti-virus program on this laptop, so I'm hoping for the best. :(

Get a small one, like Malwarebytes, and clean that baby. http://cellar.org/2012/nono.gif







Or you could send it to me to clean, just don't remove any of the naked pictures of you and your girlfriends. :blush:

Hmm....it's a macbook air. What kind of anti-virus program do I install on that? As for the ehem pictures, I can just send you a cd of them. No need to send my laptop. ;)

I would try Malwarebytes, but somebody familiar wit Macs may have a better idea.

Sure a CD would work, how about a dozen copies, I'll make a fortune. :lol2:

Google the Mac antivirus software called "ClamXav"

It used to be free, but after today (7/31/15) it will be ~$30.
Today, it is $22.46... with a 30 free trial

It has an excellent reputation, is easy to install, and once installed it
monitors whatever drives or folders, including your emails
... whatever you wish.

ClamXav automatically gets daily updates of new viruses,
and actually runs in background without you having to do much of anything.
But then you can scan specific files, and either delete or quarantine any infected files.
So it's very low maintenance.

And it passes no judgement on ehem pictures

Hehehe.....Do you use that program, Lamplighter?

What I'm hesitating on is that I need to bring my laptop up to the store to get it fixed or looked at. Long story short, when I first got my laptop, I did something and a large chunk of the hd was partitioned off and now unusable. I've been too lazy to bring it up for the Apple people to fix it for me. Calling for an appt has been time consuming and unfruitful. I'm afraid that they may have to redo my system. If everything gets wiped out, will they put back the program for me for free?

Yes, I have used it for several years.
It has detected a couple of infections in emails I received from people who roam the internet.
When this happens, it has a hand-holding routine that takes you thru acceptance of the email (NO !)
...or deleting the email, or keeping it in quarantine.
I rely on it completely, and have no other anti-virus program.

I believe your concerns about re-installing the ClamXav are negligible.
I would not hesitate to install it now, then have your Mac "repaired",
and then see if you even need to re-install.
It would be like any other application on your computer.
Even so, I believe you can re-install it at no additional cost.
(They say "any computer you own" )

Thank you! I'm going to get to it now. :)

Ugh! I missed this post. Was going to be a personal gift, but now, NO MORE FOR YOU. :madhop:

Aw shucks. :(
Thanks Lamp, I was hoping someone with Mac smarts would know for sure. :notworthy

aww, won't you reconsider? those things wear out, y'know.

You mean the CD? I haven't burned it yet, so no worries. :D

Lamplighter: I forgot to thank you for your help. I downloaded the program and scanned my laptop. Everything is a-ok now. [emoji1]

I'm very glad things are going well.

If you have not already done so, I urge you to set up the "Watch Folders".
It starts via "Launch ClamXav Sentry" under the main ClamXav menu.
Then you will have an automatic barrier to future invasions.

Cheers.

Put the car in PARK! Do you mean all this time Lola has been batting for the other team? Why am I always the last person to find these things out?

I would actually only need the one copy.
:blush:

No no, I didn't say, nor mean to infer that. Don't you know all the chicks trade naked pictures of each other, it's part of the sisterhood code. :haha:
Well me too, but I feel full disclosure to be the honorable thing to do.

Hopes dashed.

Hopes rekindled!

:lol2:

Library:

The Cellar is NOT blocked. Just the access to the New Posts search.
What?!
I am considering challenging it, but worry that they might end up blocking the whole site.
Yeah, like the occasional swear and boobies is going to bring hoardes of schoolkids into the library to get their rocks off on the Cellar.

Ok, thanks!

Wait a minute!! You mean there is a new set of nude photos of Lola Bunny???

Yes, the mention of anything nude in connection with Lola is like blood in the water to sharks.

No, I blew that deal with my greed. :o

Don't worry, we're thinking up a penance for you as we speak.

If it's any consolation, I whacked myself severely. :blush:

:jagoff:

Does parcel tracking ever work?
I mean, EVAH?!

Maybe it's just me. Because it has never worked anywhere I've lived, and I've moved about a bit. I mean crikey me, I lived in three different addresses in London - one of the major cities in the world. Even now it's not like I live on top of remote hillside or something.

I log onto parcel tracking and the parcel is somewhere odd like Shropshire (just odd because it's not en route, not generally odd... I think) and then five minutes later I get a card through the door saying "We tried to deliver but you were out..." No, I wasn't. And you had my mobile number you gits.

Sorry. I'm waiting on lots of things at present, mostly through the post, and two about medical appointments. So I'm a little raw.
I love my post-lady to bits, but she only handles Royal Mail deliveries, so my parcel tracking beef isn't with her. And even she can't make St James' Hospital send me a date for my scan any faster.

Also I'm bruised to buggery.
It's like I fall asleep in a field of farming equipment or something.
I have no idea why being sober is more bruising than being drunk.

It's the rats, they beat you up while your sleeping. :p:

I often say that I am not surprised by the stupidity of people, however, sometimes, I am a little surprised.

Remember when the sinkhole opened up underneath The Nat'l Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY? Well, after some discussion of leaving the hole and putting a clear floor over it, and, ultimately deciding to repair the hole, and finally deciding to display some of the Vettes, unrepaired, instead of restoring them all, I was gobsmacked.

I remember reading that they were considering selling jars of sinkhole dirt. I thought it was a joke.

As of the end of July, the Nat'l Corvette Museum has sold almost 2400 jars of sinkhole dirt and rocks. For $10 a pop.

It's dirt. In a jar.

Damn, people are stupid.
