Hermit Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 My parrot Pachuco, who I've had for sixteen years and who I expected to outlive me, died today. The worst part is that I wasn't there with him because I'm still in Nevada and he was at home in Texas. Sympathies Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Bank: The credit card terminals we gave you have software bugs that will cause them to stop working next week. Us: It's... the week before Mother's Day. We are a jewelry company. Bank: Sorry, our bad. We'll send out some replacements as soon as we can. Us: The replacements you sent out six months ago we all misconfigured and we had to walk sales staff through reconfiguring all of them over the phone. Bank: Don't worry, we're sure we'll get it right this time. Us: We have a bad feeling about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsrtrosy Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 This is exactly what I need today. I'm at the end of year 2 of my PhD, I can't seem to focus on anything, I hate all the people, and my dog is avoiding me. I AM DEFINITELY FEELING CRANKY!! :thumbdown :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I went to a Ren Faire today and the only thing that amused/entertained me were some pugs in barding/armor. It was really pathetic and a waste of my $5 parking fee. I miss my Kansas City Ren Faire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Not a major thing, but suddenly having my computer decide it didn't recognize anything was alarming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I just saw the first picture of one of the Manchester bombing victims. She could have been one of my students. What the Hell is wrong with people? Targeting children at a concert? What kind of corrupt ideology says that's okay? How mentally ill do you have to be to think that's okay? I don't even know what to say about this. death tribble and Burrito Boy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Don't try to put it into context. There is none. It is just plain Evil. Yes, that is a capital E. People will try to explain it, justify it, excuse it, or just plain understand it, but evil is something that good people can't truly understand. It's why you are shocked and dismayed. Keep being shocked and dismayed. It sucks, but it defines you as a good person. Pattern Ghost, Burrito Boy and Pariah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrito Boy Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 On Sunday my uncle bought a new battery for the truck I've been driving. So why am I cranky? Because today the bleeping serpentine belt broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Is that bad, or is it really superduper bad? I.e., is it the timing belt on an interference engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 It's belated but 2 weeks ago I had my first old man moment. I fell on a chair and bruised my ribs. I can now kinda sorta run across the street if I don't mind wincing and sleep has become easier. But I'm getting real tired of this body and the crap it makes my brain put up with.

You have my sympathy. I pulled a muscle (at least I think that's what happened) in my left hip a couple weeks ago and it hasn't stopped hurting. Standing and walking are fine but bending and sitting are still painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Spent 3 hours and $300+ at the emergency room tonight because we have two children who can't communicate or follow instructions as effectively as a German Shepherd. Fortunately, both kids are okay. Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
