I am going to start carrying around those little airplane bottles of liquor. Maybe keep a variety of kinds in my purse.

Try putting a swear jar on top of your fridge, That will probably cut down on the swearing, and you might make a few bucks.

Complaint: I got stuck next to the MOST obnoxious person at Grandma's birthday party. I don't know her name, she never bothered to tell me. Instead, she launched into a long list of things about her life, including her parents dying, her house being broken down and in need of many repairs (which she listed at length), the house she wanted to buy, how it has to be really big, how it can't have white cabinets, or hallways, or windows next to the shower. It has to have lots of land because she hates neighbors, but it has to be close to the city too. On top of this, she is unemployed, misses her parents, who were awful, and her sister is a jerk, and by the way, her tooth hurts, and so on and so forth. Anything I said to her was promptly ignored so having a nice back and forth was impossible.

But the kicker is that her voice was kinda low, so I actually had to strain to hear her so as not to seem rude. Having to strain to hear someone you really wish would be quiet is the worst.

Oh, and she refused to get vaccinated AND she was eating so she was unmasked. 

I couldn't get out of there fast enough. 

 

 

Until you mentioned her being quiet I thought her name might be Hyacinth Bucket.

How does one remove pieces of cucumbers from a goldfish tank? For my aquarium, the same way as fish waste. Wait, cucumber pieces turn into fish waste in my aquarium. Also I get two goldfish who seem not as hungry and a tad happier than before the addition of those cucumbers.

Why is it such a drag to load the frickin' forums?... For the past several months it's been bad, but it seems like the past two months it's been getting progressively worse. 
At this point it loads slower than those crappy ad laden news or tech sites with ads like "Doctors Hate This Trick..." and "What Your Cat Is Trying To Tell You When They Dial 911..."

I know when I hit "Post Comment", it's going to go "Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...." for like a minute too... if it posts... it might freeze and then I'll either not bother to try again or I'll open a different window, and if that loads in a reasonable amount of time, I'll probably see it did load, but the other window is saying it was a Cloudfart or the servers stopped liking me... 

Whatever.

...been seeing far more of this as well.

Just had the latter occur on a post I submitted to another thread.  The "Post Comment" button turned  light blue after I clicked on it but it didn't post to the thread for about a minute or so.   When I click a post title on the content's page I often end up sitting and watching an anticlockwise swirly seem to go on forever before it reversed direction and the page loads.  Not my connection as that's showing 100 - 110 mbps, and not the browser as even after I clear browser data, it still occurs.

Sorry, that was me... I was testing to see if you had "the shining"... I guess you do... I was trying to warn you about that bird, I sensed he was up to something... but I totally guessed your name... well, it was that or Phyllis... but you don't seem like that much of a Phyllis sorta person... you don't say Phyllis things...

Anyway... yeah, that bird is up to no good... he's actually not blue, he's more of a grey and the whole thing is a disguise.

Very shady.

It is pretty oppressive outside... I decided to grill some vegetables for guests (not ghosts as spellcheck just suggested)... (ghosts are great guests though because they eat very little)... and I was roasting in the sun while I was grilling... Roasting while grilling... It's not as oppressive as yesterday... blegh... did you dig that crazy thunderstorm last night?

It just occurred to me I should have moved my grill into the shade... this one has wheels that actually work as opposed to my old grill which was one big flaky hunk of rust... (Charbroil sucks... Weber is definitely worth the extra $ if you want to grill more than once... in case anyone is looking for a new grill).

Anyway... go back to your nap, I'll let you know if that bird is back... 

kyoto kid

...had a Weber Mini Kettle™ at my old place,  Really nice and just as good as well as durable as the big one.  Great for grilling a couple bratwursts, hot doggies  or burgers even a "one person" rack of ribs.  Would have kept it but the new place only allows gas grills which is sort of like cooking on the kitchen stove, only while being outside.

...sinus infections are nothing to take lightly.  They can have serious implications. Hopefully you've seen your doctor about it.

McGyver said:

You really should go to see a doctor, or at least an Urgent Care clinic... like kyoto kid said, a sinus infection should not be ignored... 

I'm not trying to scare you, but if left untreated, it could lead to eye infections, bone abscesses, blood clots and even infections that travel to the brain.

Those are severe, but still it's not something to take lightly, especially if you are smelling the infection... there is a huge difference between smelling or tasting foul phlegm and an infection smell, that's an indication of something severe... if the smell is akin to an infected tooth or really foul old dog breath (I'm not joking, old dogs tend to get bad teeth that smelly rotty), then you should see a physician ASAP.

If it's bacterial, it's usually easy to knock down with Amoxicillin or other antibiotics... on average you'll see an improvement in 10-14 days...

If it's something you experience chronically, it could be fungal and related to an environmental issue like humidity or an overly damp interior environment.

Good luck, and if it's at all possible please consider getting that looked at if you haven't already

I've had sinus infections before which were bacterial in nature and from experience I can say that antibiotics do a great job at getting you back on your feet again.  The longest I've needed to be on them was the low end of the average

 

Firstly, thanks to both of you for the advice and the concern, it's more than what I got from the Doctor. 

In the UK, Doctors don't prescribe antibiotics unless they're absolutely necessary. And because I get these infections every-so-often, they're not worried about it. 

But, I DO worry about it. I was diagnosed with bacterial conjunctivitis back in 2013 (I had to read my own record to find that out, because no one would tell me). I'm already short sighted. But I've lost whatever sight I had in my left eye (I've got some vision back, but there's corneal scarring). It was going to be sorted out, until the UK went into the first lockdown in March '20. Now I have to be referred again. But no one knows when that will be. So now I'm fighting to keep my right eye in a good condition. 

I know the damp in this house doesn't help either.

Anyway, the smell is up in my nose, and no one else can smell it (not that you can breathe on anyone these days to find out ^^' ). 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I'd quite like a feminine crew cut hairstyle... But I'd probably end up looking like some sort of weird clown (I don't have any confidence - Most things would make me look like a clown, imo). 

I (still) don't think that I'm using the new PBR Skin shader correctly.

Thank you for over-reacting to the fish that I ate, stomach. I wanted an evening to sort out messages... And I got that instead! You really can't plan anything in this house!

How to deal with annoying people who call too much for the nice person they are pretending to be?

Complaint... Why do people buy "smart" phones, only to leave them on their desk to annoy others with their loud, irritating and continuous ringtones and blings...

Two porterhouse steaks ran me almost $50 at the grocery store yesterday. 

For that price, they should have offered to cook them for me!

At that price you could raise one yourself and have it slaughtered. Hell your about at the cost of $200 to buy a quarter of a cow, all cut up for ya as well.

Oh no I forgot my special spare battery pack when going on this trip. My battery is at 35% which means no game playing games on this device until I get back home.

Apple isn't trying to spy on your phone, it's probably the Illuminati or the turkeys I mentioned the other day... Apple usually stops spying on you after the first one or two clones they make of you when you initially buy their phones, so you probably have nothing to worry about.

Unless you are one of the clones... 

I suppose as long as you only have one belly button, you are probably okay.

Anyway... try this...

I had that problem a while ago... it's really friggin' annoying... often the problem and fix changes with the phone model and iOS version...

I remember when I had the problem, none of the articles really worked and eventually it turned out to be some stupid iCloud setting.

Frickin' clouds... when they aren't flaring, they are finding other ways to squark yer mojo...

If you were an Apple clone, that second belly button would have a USB charge port in it and you wouldn't need to worry about that... of course, the sleep button in your armpit being right next to the self destruct button would pose a different set of problems.

I went to Walmart and it was a mixed mag of events.

I forgot yo get peanut butter!!!!! The cheap container of stevia was sold out. The frozen peas didn't want to scan at self check out.

also the cheap pencil sharpeners were a dollar each instead of 4 for a dollar. I told the self check out that the sharpeners were too expensive and to remove the one I already scanned. A fellow customer overhead me and offered 5 dollars towards my order. I thanked her. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be able to get everything.
