What's mildly irritating you today?

Did you nearly spit DiHydrogen Monoxide through your nose?

Isn't that what fucked up marichiko?

[ZenGum]

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

[Griff]

Banned? Your streets are awash with it!

[monster]

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.

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.

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]

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

[Clodfobble]

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]

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

[monster]

And the tire isn't deflated?

[zippyt]

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]

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