I like this analogy.

I decided I'm not going to post there any more.  Tapatalk sure makes it easy though.

Harshing my mellow? Roof leak over the kitchen. I though I’d solved the problem by unblocking the downpipe for the gutter, that certainly released a lot of water the other day. But now there is no blockage, and it is raining, and the dripping he start again. 

LOL.  I've got an email chain that keeps popping up every few weeks with an "URGENT 7/21/2020 final deadline" subject line. It's not my place to edit the subject, and it gives me a sinking feeling every time it pops up.

Cut myself because stupid.  Literally rubbed salt in wound because stupid

The radio station  I have listened to since I moved here 20 years ago (who brand themselves as a "new rock" station) is changing format at noon tomorrow.  And it is not going to be for the better.  From their announcement:

Soon there will be a very new and VERY different sound on 88.7FM and to be honest if you’re a New Rock fan you’re probably not going to like it

 

it went from being "89X" to "Pure Cuntry 89".

I shit you not.

At least they were truthful, which is a first in that kind of field.  But I still hope they drown in their stetsons

I have an item built for me in Nevada and paid for it to be shipped fedex, whom I don't like but that was the deal. Turns out it was too big for fedex and had to be shipped motor freight, here we go. So the tracking number says delivery Monday. OK clear my schedule, hold all calls, bring it on.
I get a call Monday telling me Tuesday. OK rearrange the schedule and hold half my calls. I'm staying on top of this because Google & Garmin, think my address is somewhere else, a mile away. Also the guy on the phone had a heavy Caribbean accent  and I don't know if he understood what I was telling him. OK between 9AM and 5PM Tuesday, great. 
Waited with bated breath all day, no radio or TV on so I could maybe hear a truck.  At 6 PM I called. Oh, Wednesday, tomorrow, between 9AM and 5PM.
Last day before Turkey Day... I give it 50%

I'm waiting on a medication package through USPS. It sits in Lancaster. Remember when  LeJoy decided to break Central PA's mail service by removing 5 sorters for the election to keep PA red and create a crisis requiring privatization? It hasn't been fixed. Pete subscribes to The Week magazine but that has gone from a week late to a two week gap with a lost issue to two issues on the same day after a couple calls to the publisher.

Lol, you are joining us old-timers alright.

My medicine showed up today. 16 days in the mail. Return address says Wilkes Barre, PA. 1.5 hours away.

Some twat stole a package from my mailbox on Friday. Amazon is replacing the items but it sucks that there is a twat roaming around helping themselves to people's mail. I told the cops and the post office. Ordering some cameras today. The knuckle heads stole two kitchen scales worth $10 each. How will they fence those?

Like, in the actual classroom or is she virtually attending school? ugh. Like 7th grade once wasn't bad enough.
Either way you can brush up on your Louisiana Purchase facts...

Me, apparently I'm going to sit in my child's room and attend 7th grade full time for the rest of the month, because there's no other way to ensure that Minifobette goes to damn class.

My wife is getting paid halfway decent money to do that for the kid across the street.  But that's preschool  Both parents need to be able to focus 100% on working from home, especially the mom, who is teaching a class on zoom herself.
