Crazy at work, already. I'm looking foreword to summer break, for my wife and kids. That starts on the 4th, and I'm taking a month off, to relax.
I feel like a little kid, but not in a good way. My last dentist appointment included annual X-rays where they actually noticed something. Looks like one of my old fillings has failed and there is a hollow space in a tooth where it should be filled in. So they have to go in a repair it. I haven't had a filling or dental work like that in a LONG time.
[Rant] I'm sick and tired with Amazon service for non-"prime" accounts. Ok, I can plan to wait 5-7 days before you even ship my item, since I'm not on your special list. I have done that in the past, and have come to accept it. I can even deal with you raising the free shipping limit, not happy, but understand. But when I want two in stock items that you say I could have tomorrow, given I pay overnight, but when I opt for free shipping my order conformation says they will be delivered in 5 weeks, I'm done. Good for you amazon, things are so going so swimmingly for you, you no longer need or want my business. I found another retailer that had the same prices, and will have the items here Monday. I have no need for a prime account. I don't order multiple times a week, nor do I desire to stream your content. It's been more than a year since I've had a positive experience, maybe two years. I'm thinking it's (past) time to cancel my account. [/Rant]
Emptor iratus est Et emit ambulat (Buyer gets irritated, and walks away) Amazon doesn't "make" anything, they are a Service company. If their service becomes disappointing I certainly understand your choice. I've been a Sam's Club member but let it go. Membership is not worth $50/year in savings. Never tried Costco. Don't think I need to pay to be a Prime Amazonian.
My wife and I came over to Halifax yesterday. She wants to do a Masters degree here. I came with her basically to shop. No shaving related purchases, although I did drop in to a L'Occtaine store to see what they had. Just relaxing at our hotel right now.
After hours of cussing, and a few busted knuckles, my car finally ran today. Setting the timing on four cams is a nasty piece of work. I need a new battery, so didn't drive it, but was able start it with a jump. Oh have missed the boxer turbo rumble!V
A Dutch shaving-related saying for your Sunday evening: Scheer je weg. literally: Shave yourself away. Meaning: Get out of here before you regret it. I take no credit or blame... I found that on a website. @macaronus or @Eeyore can let us know for sure.
I took a nice gouge out of my face this morning under my nose. Complacency. I almost whimpered. Other than that, Sol is up, my bills are paid, and It turns out I'm a genetic marvel. Cardiologist said don't bother with a stress test, and I have ZERO calcium deposits/plaque in my arteries (got scanned). I'm probably going to get hit by a truck. Hope it's a beer truck.
