*snort*
if it were me: well there's an old bag in here that maybe I could use.... heehee my MIL (Banana Lady) is cool. I just went out last-minute provision shopping and I took her cellphone because it is a PAYG which she only uses when here, so has a huge built up credit and we use it in prefeence to the others at all opportunities. I enjoyed being able to yell as I left "If you think of anything else we need, call me on the old batphone"

Just started getting some rain up here. We're about 100 miles west of you. Temp is dropping, too. Hoping we don't get a nasty ice storm.

I was mildly irritated by how long it took me to find this thread
anyway... yesterday: beard dandruff. black shirt. and when I got home, Uncle Bald Guy is visiting, and the fucker drank both of the Golden Monkey beers I had left. There is plenty of other beer in the house (A whole Lancaster Brewery Sample 12 pack, 1/2 case of Yeungling, a couple Guiness draughts) left from Christmas. How did this cocksucker intuitively know which was my favorite $12/six pack beer, and then drink THE LAST TWO?? cockbite. I never liked this guy. hmm... i might be more than mildly irritated here.

I was irritated because the tractor didn't want to start. Bro-in-law was using it which often results in brokey stuff. Before going nutso, I visited the interwebs and found this model is notorious for several electrical problems a couple of which I already ruled out. The next thing I fiddled with was the neutral range switch which turned out to be the thing. Irritant gone. Snow blown.

I don't understand, why would you want to re-vacuum the same stuff ?

I left my phone at home today. grrr
I chose a shirt without a breast pocket, so when I picked up my phone, I didn't have a pocket to put the phone into. I set it on the bed and instantly, albeit temporarily, forgot it. Forgot it until I pulled into the parking lot here at work. Now trying to macguyver some way to get it... before / without going home.

before/ without going home?
I suppose it's too early to ask if you're going to get it before...the appointed time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have had time on my break to watch a little TV. I caved in and kept my cable but after seeing the quality of what I am paying,has caused me to reverse my thinking and go for satellite. What is annoying about cable is my HD tv looked OK with standard definition. When I upgraded to HD the standard stations look like an old tv set and HD isn't that much better. One day, I guess I must have been bored, I hooked up rabbit ears to my TV and got one station. It was brillant crystal clear. I haven't been able to get one station with an antenna since then, but I do plan to keep trying. I live too far away from the signal towers to quickly decide on an antenna so I ordered satellite TV for Friday. oh yay. Maybe that part belongs in the happy thread, but Cable TV is HORRIBLE. Did I mention that cable sucks? and why am I paying $60 dollars a month for a sub par product? Maybe they hope all people are just too busy to notice. |

Does the cable come in directly, or distributed though the apartment complex system?
I've had people tell me they had problems with that. One guy even told me he had problems until switched the TV over to the 75 ohm antennae setting, because the apartment system acts like an antennae instead of like cable.
