How's Your Day? Archives

What's scary is, plain old backwards was the most challenging.

 

well, scratch that....you were there....still congrats, but it was short lived, only like 4 of us saw it

 

Thanks...

interesting observation: when I get on the site from a school computer, I start off as a guest. However, my PIF post didn't show up in the recent thread list. Did you see it?

I wonder why it doesn't show up... its like the Isla de Muerta of a PIF. uh-oh maybe Micah and Prof stole it to make another pirate movie! Egads!

 

I agree...

But then again, I spend a lot of time reading/checking students' work while wandering the classroom. I have gotten used to reading text rotated 180, which is basically what the upside down/backwards does. I find the whole idea that nobody could figure out DaVinci's notes because he encoded them by writing in a mirror laughable.

 

Forum oddity

huh...

When there is an update in the PIF thread, it will show up when you hit the unread posts button. However, if you go to the main page where it shows recent posts, it doesn't show up.

 

that is weird...never noticed it before because I just about never go to the main page :ashamed001...I have my shortcut linked directly to the Forums page...been battling the temptation to send it straight to New Posts, though

 

oh well.. thanks for the help with checking that.

 

congrats on the CT etoyoc!

I will say this for those homelite weedeaters...

They bounce really well.

 

have a less than productive weedeating campaign did we?

 

well, about to go talk to city water people...they better be wise about they're decisions, I'm taking "the plank"...

 

THE WARNING!

For the love of Pete, can't we start a "Save Their Dignity Fund" for people like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?

Think of the semi-talented pro wrestlers. For just pennies a day you could save someone like poor little Dwayne from making the next Mr. Nanny!

It may already be too late!

 

Best of luck!

 

Weeeelllll... it's like this. I'm notorious for not picking up the yard before mowing... but Thursday was the one time I actually took it upon myself to clear my paths first. I walked around, tossing sticks and stuff out of the way, before getting on the mower. Problem is, the grass was so stinking high, that I completely missed two big pieces of bisquine lurking under the weeds.

Well, I ran over the big piece of thick, black bisquine, binding the blades. Spen the next half hour hacking away with my dull pocket knife, swearing, sweating, and yanking away while laying on the ground, brushing spiders off my legs every so often. Finally after 30 minutes of this torture, I got the blades free! So I hopped on my mower, went back to the same spot, where I knew there wasn't any more plastic, and found another piece of plastic lurking under the grass! This time, the binding was enough to snap the belt in two.

Remember how much of a P.I.T.A. it was to change the belt on that thing, Jim? Well, be on standby, I'm probably going to need your help again.

Anyway... pissed and angry, I put the mower away, and figured, "at least I can weedeat around the front door." 1st pull, no crank. Not surprising. 2nd pull, no crank. No big deal, usually takes about 3 tries anyway. 3rd pull, no crank, no retract.

The rest, as they say, is history.

 

Yikes. Hope today goes better.

 

Well the 30 minutes of sleep last night isn't making things look too much better.

Up all night with sinus drainage.

I mean, thanks for the encouragement!

 

Lots of that going around right now.
Mine have been a little irritated and the roomie thinks he's well on his way to a sinus infection

In other news... Pureslab's razor p0rn is killing me.
I want one of those bulldog spindle razors so badly but I'm not sure I want it $75 badly.
Not knocking his price or the value of the item, just my budget.

 

Hope everyone's sinus clear up soon. Seems to be alergy season around here.

I got the first edition of the Tuckaway style handle the other day. Absolutely awesome. The three piece razors are priced cheaper than the spindle.

 

wuck.

just wuck.

have no idea what it means, but wuck.


went to water dept., explained situation - plumber out twice, problem came right back, etc., they sent someone out.
they checked the city main, ran their big industrial super cleaning snake...yay! hallway toilet flushed.
was so excited, I tried it again (sometimes, you know, when it's backed up, it may clear enough for one flush...) 2nd time, a little slower, but flushed.
the guy came to door and asked, I told him about those to flushes, by the time I tried our bathroom, saw it not going to flush, then went to hall and saw it backed up again, then got out the door - they were gone.
this time called - not so friendly reception.....time to open the sack

on an upnote, one of my comments made the front page at 1o9.com!

 

finally....the guys came back, I apologized for having to have them come a second time, they were cool with it - as usual, it's the office that are the barrier.
they ran their super snake through, and boom, clear now.

of course, it was like that after the plumber came out both times....please understand if I withhold my confidence for a week or so
