Hermit Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Son of a ##### I am so tired of Guests every damn ten days . I know it's the holidays. I know, because of the scattered nature of things, Christmas happens but #$#$#ing 3 times a year. I want a damn week without near strangers in the house! I want folks to back the #$#$# off! I want family to stop WHINING about how their friends have no other place to go and guilt tripping us over and over again... they have a place to go, your ##$#ing apartment, and they're not your gawddamned appendage! You are not attached. I have friends, but i don't have to be attached to them every #$#$#ing holiday. Yes, it's selfish of me, but I need some space. And I swear, if that damn tree is still up in February, I will set it on fire! tkdguy and Enforcer84 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Getting your daughter an expensive new raincoat for Christmas works! Looking at the forecast, it will have kept it from raining here for longer than two weeks after purchase! Pariah and tkdguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Most crackpot science expostulations these days seem to come from electrical engineers with too much time on their hands, either due to retirement or unemployment. For whatever reason, these seem to be most numerous of the folks nowadays who can't (or won't) grasp that there's important stuff that wasn't in their education. First one of the year hit my inbox last night. About the usual pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 The first time Geoguessr puts you in a spot where the first named place you encounter is Almira, Washington, you are likely to be baffled and give up. The second time it happens you will realize that WA has to be the cheapest state in the Union when it comes to highway signage. Unless, of course, you are personally familiar with the region from many solo road traversals. Then you already knew the second, and you know instinctively where you are, negating the first.

Old Man Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I finally went ahead and contributed some money to Wikipedia just now. They're not in the middle of one of their nag campaigns so I actually had to hunt for the "donate" link. You can contribute with credit card, Paypal, or Amazon; I went the Amazon route--Amazon login and password, and done. What finally motivated me to do this was a post online where someone said "I'll pay two dollars to get a coworker to eat a spoiled grape, but the greatest online repository of human knowledge asks me for two dollars and I'm like, oh hell no." I contributed more than two dollars. Enforcer84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 OK, I am now willing to accept that we are likely to be approaching the End of Days. Friday, of course, was the Trump inauguration. Saturday, my son started on a trial for a job. And also Saturday, we had our quasi-monthly session of a long-running campaign, and the snack we brought to the table was ... ... brussels sprouts. And they were accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 If you have never listened to hummingbird song, I recommend it. It isn't musical (by our prejudices -- and limited high-frequency sensitivity) but there's a lot of it and a lot to it, reminding you that those are ornery but quite social birds.

Cancer Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Rather than actually doing it ... Consider creating a thread, titled "Happy Groundhog Day!" In it are a large number of identical posts, all with the same timestamp, by the same poster, that say, "Nope, still here." Logan D.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Let me make sure I understand. You didn't think enough of me and my skill set to get me involved in this project in the beginning when I could have done something useful to avoid this mess, but now you want me to come in and fix everything? Yeah, that seems about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
