You need better tweezers. Unfortunately pretty much everything at the grocery store and Target is crap. But sometimes even new crappy tweezers will get the job done. A good pair of tweezers requires almost nothing to grasp onto. If there’s enough to feel sharp there’s enough to tweeze.
After getting my car back from the dealer (where it sat outside for 2.5 months) I noticed that there are tiny pink dots all over it. I brought it to the detailer to see if a regular detail would take care of it. Nope… it’s “ferrous (iron) fallout” and decontamination plus polishing the paint will cost $695. Now I have to try to get the dealer to pay for it, which of course they want to see it so they can tell me it’s nothing. ![]()
I just want my car back!!!
Someone got ahold of my PayPal account. Fortunately my bank notified me after the 6th charge and they only got around $150. It will all get resolved, but ugh at the hassle. And ugh that there are people out there who make a living doing this to others. It’s not a victimless crime.
I’m guessing they stole it with a British accent.
Wife is watching some Netflix Sherlock Holmes show & the lead actress, Sherlock’s sister, continually breaks the fourth wall. I find it annoying.
My left shoulder is finally starting to feel better a week after my cortisone injection (yay!), and then this morning I woke up with a tweaked muscle in my right shoulder blade.
Is this just life after 35, then? Constant low grade discomfort?
I saw something like this on FB once…
…and my brother, who was not yet 50, replied something along the lines of “My check engine light didn’t wait until I was 50.”
Hiccups
I looked through some change I had and discovered a fluffin’ token from a laundromat!!! ![]()
One of my extension cords appears to have went and RUNNOFT. I hate misplacing tools and the like.
Update, and an Annoyed Thought:
If you visit Dunkin 12x in a calendar month you get 12 points per $1 spent bringing the spend to get a free coffee down to $41.67 for regulars. I don’t go 12x a month though.
But I got a notification that they’re bringing back free coffee Mondays, starting today, so hey, why not? Well, the Dunkin’ by me is closed today for some reason, that’s why not. Grrrrrr…
I was just there yesterday… no sign indicating they’d be closed today or anything. I’d placed an online order for walk-in and the door was locked so I had to go through the drive-through and I didn’t even complain. I guess they must be insanely short-staffed.
They dropped the starting pay to $13.50 an hour but the gas station they are located in is paying $15.00 still, so I wonder why they’re having trouble finding employees. Real mystery there…
What does the 'bnb" stand for in Airbnb?
Not bed and breakfast.
We got a bed. And a tv w/ like 9 channels. Nice bathroom, shower enough room for two
)
No towel service; 4 towels for 3 day, 2 night stay.. Small bed. Said queen, but I’m not really sure.
Could hear hosts’ conversations thru the wall. And going up and down the stairs. And suing the blender at 11 pm. And flushing the toilet at midnight, 3 am, 5 am.
I never use towel service at a hotel. I want two towels per person (and often need to ask the hotel for more towels to get that) but I’m perfectly happy using those same two towels every day for as long as my hotel stay is.
I don’t really want them changing the sheets, either.
I like new towels every day. Especially if the ones from the day before aren’t fully dry.
Serious question?
The dude who started the service advertised an air bed to sleep on and pop tarts for breakfast, hence, air-bed ‘n breakfast.
Not serious question?
“Be right back…but the r is hunched over into an n just like you’ll be after sleeping on a lousy air mattress.”
If you expected towel service, you probably shouldn’t stay in an AirBnB unless it has a washer and dryer and you are washing your own towels.
Also sounds like whoever researched the place might have looked a bit closer at the reviews. I hate hearing the host if they are connected so even when I give a good review I comment on noise like that.
I live beach front, AirBnB is not allowed here. But some people still do.
You can always tell as they are the houses where towels are on the porch rails to dry
Went deer hunting yesterday with a group. Got nothing. Then my one buddy goes home, takes a walk through the bush, and drops a 12 point buck by himself.
i am not good at typing. closer to hunt and peck than classically trained, but I do ok.
Lately, more than half the time I type in something with a dollar sign the shift button seems not to be pressed enough to work.
So I want to tell someone the “price will be $1M” and it is typed often as “the price will be 41M”. It is annoying!
It seems whenever I leave my house between like 4:30 and 7;30 pm I’m leaving just after a ferry has pulled in. One road in and out of the ferry and it runs right past my street.
