I just got up from a nap. I was so tired an hour or so ago. That is why I took a nap.
I'm complaining again ...... so before bed last night I turned everything off and then had to go into the kitchen ,and while standing at the kitchen sink in the silence ,I realized it wasn't so silent ,there is a hissing noise coming from the floor vent ,and the sound of rain drops on metal ..... hmm I don't have gas so that's not gas hissing ,go into the bathroom and can still hear rain drops on metal from the floor vent in there but it's not as clear , and it's not raining . So I called a plumber ,well they will come out sometime tomorrow ,alrighty then ,not even a general time ,just when they get here ..Oh well leak under the house and in the roof ...on the plus side my keyboard stickers arrived Hooray now to clean the keyboard and put them on .
ROFL! Hit it on the head in a single shot. We don't do the whole Halloween thing anymore. Both of my kids are almost out of college and we don't get many trick or treaters anymore so we just shut our light off and let them pass by. No more pumpkin carving, which I really enjoyed. No more candy, well, for the kiddies at least. Gotta take advantage of a good sale on candy. Being a diabetic I can only eat 1 though, bummer. I'm a chocolate fiend.
I can't access Facebook!
my housemate decided to take a shower at the same time I feel like I had to use the restroom. Now I have to wait for her shower to be done.
...that happens for me as well, usually after I either go into the kitchen from the main room or vice versa There's something sinister in that arch between the two areas of the flat.
It's 1:14 PM people... what, are you all busy or something?... no complaints... nothing?
Jeez.
So I guess it's up to me to complain about stuff...
I hate Microsoft's search feature... Apple's sucks so much less... been searching a Mac and Windows computers for some old models I made and l found one right away on the Mac, but I can't even find that same one (in the same place) on the Dell...
That and ziplock closures on product bags suck royally... cheap arse skinny little nothing ziplock detail that's supposed to somehow be able to still be able to closed if a stray molecule of something gets in the track?... I think not.
Also I hate that there is no backspace button equivalent on an iPad... it's impossible to select something using that stupid touch cursor with my gigantic gorilla fingers.
Well... that's all.
No... actually...
Apparently today is National "Be Nice Day" according to some stupid desk calendar...
So be nice to each other or the Murder Otters* will get you.
Its also the Cambodian Buddhist holiday of Pchum Ben... Pchum Ben marks the start of the journey of souls to purgatory... I think you are supposed to cook a meal for a monk to earn your ancestors some merit points in the afterlife... but if you suck at cooking that's probably a bad idea... unless your ancestors were jerks in which case they should have taught you how to cook better and that's on them.
Apparently in Florida it's National Get Funky Day... I just assumed that's every day in Miami... it's that half the time in NYC... so... ?
It's also World Teacher's day... so thank or hug or make a bad dinner for a teacher... do something... actually, most of you folks are pretty technically adept, so maybe teach a teacher something technical or computerie... until the pandemic, I never realized how many of my kids teachers were Technology Challenged.
Lastly it's also Kiss A Wrestler day... but don't blame me if you get body slammed if they don't like it.
Ciao for now y'all.

Complaint: I just got a reminder call from my cardiologist's office reminding me of my appointment for an echocardiogram tomorrow at 8:45 AM. First of all I'm still a zombie at 8:45 AM much more so a couple hours earlier when I'd have to wake up to prepare for the mini-adventure of a trip to the doctor. Not only that, but I had no reminder on my computer calendar, no appointment card in my appointment card collection, no paperwork specifying said echocardiogram was necessary, and my usual transportation to the doctor is out of town and not available.
I don't know why I agreed to let them reschedule. All they're going to do is find something wrong to require more tests, then charge me $40 and my insurance company $600 (just guessing but I know it's not cheap). I'm afraid that if they continue to test, and find things to fix, that they will end up keeping me alive for another 20 years. I do NOT look forward to life at 93.
Much more convenient for me to have a heart attack and fall over in the street in front of a bus. At least my executor could try to claim double-indemnity on my life insurance by claiming that I was still alive when the bus hit me. But if they make me wait another 20 years to die, my trustworthy executor will likely be dead first and I'll be in decrepit miserablness** for ten of those years.
**Note: At present at age 73, I'm decrepit, but not yet miserable.
Not so fast... we're not done with you... you can check out when we say so... till then you have keep staying alive... or at least the sequel...
Wait... Staying Alive was the sequel... Saturday Night Fever was the original... don't get any Saturday Night Fever... if you aren't in top shape, those boogie fever disco moves could break something and that would cost you a few more deductibles.
Just stay healthy or as reasonable a facsimile thereof as you can manage.
I can see the circuits firing in McGyver's brain. They're much like a dog's. He starts out being well behaved and reasonable, then out of nowhere "squirrel" and he's off and running.
Never fear, though. I'm not planning the bus schtick quite yet, I did say that I let them reschedule. Just not sure why.
He can check out any time he likes...but he can never leave!

Welcome to the Complaint Thread California... Such a lovely place...
(*tries violently to suppress mad giggling because of sleeping wifey upstairs ...*)
...read a story about the rampaging "murder otters" up in Alaska the other day. Apparently there's been a bout of rabies going around there..
Tried an experiement for dinner last night. It came out great but Hubby had a acid reflex event at 0dark 30, which I strongly suspect came from the dish. It did have sun dried tomato pesto, which is not one of my standard ingredients I cook with (everything else was pretty standard). He said that I could make the dish again next week but I don't like when he wakes up coughing cause of the reflex. Needless to say, been dragon all day (pun intended).
Thursday, have to take mother in law to get her neck x-ray for the spine doctor. Poor woman gets car sick quite easily since fracturing her neck in 2018. I seem to be the only one able to drive her without her motion sickness come on. Hubby has to be the one to go inside with her since he has the medical cards. So we both take off and I'll probaby have to sit in the car while he takes her inside thanks to Covid restrictions. We found a radiology that's about a mile and a half from the house instead of three and I don't have to go under the freeway.
Is this normal call a plumber about a leak ,leave a message ,get a call back and get told they can come by tomorrow , but can't give a time ,they will call ...... So I wait all day and no call ...... not even "sorry we won't make it today " call Do I call them again?Do I call a different plumber? Do I wait and hope they show up tomorrow ?Ugh!! On the plus side I will be getting some revenge since they will have to go into the tiny crawl space under the house to deal with the leak and I won't.
Rabies or they developed a taste for human flesh?... https://www.ecowatch.com/river-otter-attacks-alaska-2655177488.html
It's Murder Otters for sure...
Call a different plumber, that one is unreliable... while it's not unheard of for one to do that, that's not a good sign... especially not in a day and age when everyone has a cellphone.
Good luck.
....particualry important if the leak is causing any damage.

..here in the northwest corner of the country we've already been dealing with murder hornets, we don't need murder otters to add to the situation..
Next you know it will be Drop Squirrels or dive bombing pigeons.
Honestly don't know if it's causing damage or not ...... I just know I am hearing a hissing noise coming from the floor vent in the kitchen as well as the sound of rain drops on metal from that vent and the bathroom vent ....and since I don't have gas the only hissing that I can think of is a leaking pipe add that to the sound of rain drops under the ouse and my best guess is a leaky pipe ......@McGyver I was afraid you'd say that ....well back to Google search in my area ...
Do I have to wake up?
Technically, no... I have come to the conclusion that there are a great many individuals out there in this world going about their daily lives that do not in fact actually ever wake up... I'm sure half the people driving out there are asleep... most people in decision making positions seem to quite asleep... I'm convinced that being awake might not actually be an option in a lot of occupations.
But...
I know from experience that if you refuse to wake up for too long, people are just going to bury you... sometimes they don't even invest the effort in a shallow grave and they just toss you in a ditch, so you really gotta watch out if you are gonna just lay there snoozing for too long.
Also, sometimes it's not even people... friggin' scavengers have no qualms about gnawing on you if you look or smell ripe enough.
But it's a risk you have to take sometimes.
You don't have gas... good, after a while people don't want to hang around with you if that's a persistent issue and the constant trumpeting sounds aggravate pets and livestock... But the hissing and dripping... could be be a nest of snakes with allergies or a sinus condition?... You should look up some herpetologists too maybe.
No joke, in Philadelphia a few weeks ago a squirrel fell out of a tree onto my wife... like right near constitution hall... and a year ago a dead pigeon fell on my daughter in front of a store... apparently it crashed into a wall and died, but it could have been up to something more sinister.
We don't have problems with our squirrels, whenever the feeder runs out of sunflower seeds, they come knocking on the window, telling us to fill it up fast...
While drastic, dive-bombing pigeons would certainly be a way to control their numbers.
Since you already are, the question is now moot.
LOL, She could however be sleep typing. I do it quite often when I get on at 5-6am and get off at 10pm-12am. The first and last 2 hours are the worse.
Complaint: I decided to rearange my livingroom/office. Not a big furniture shuffle requiring days of rewiring and perhaps weeks of ordering yet longer cables, but just a little move of my printer table to make room for a possible couch or more likely another pile of 12 storage boxes. Temperature today is 77 and humidity is 62% and I'm sweating like a pig. I didn't realize how much miscellaneous crap I'd shoved into the printer table drawers that had to be emptied, and more stuff between other furniture and the wall, that all had to be moved to get my printer's power cord and two phone lines extracted from behind immoveable objects. Also the rug under the printer table hadn't been vacuumed in 9 years and there were cobwebs clinging to the wall and back of the printer. I don't know why I keep the printer wired up for doing FAX operations. I've only used it once (faxing paperwork to a lawyer) 8 years ago. BUT, if I ever have to FAX again, I'm ready. Wheee...
Note: My printer table is more of a small, low, chest of drawers. Two drawers, top one shallow, bottom one deep. It's actually very nice and the best piece of real wood furniture that I own. No scratches, yet.
The advantages: I now can get my printouts without having to walk across the room. Yay! My floor is clean again, cables are managed a bit better, I have empty space on a wall again. I found a couple of things in the drawers that I thought I'd lost. Wheee...
Also note: My printer is not a typical household printer, it's a big Epson, two drawer, large paper (13" x 19"), and it's heavy, as is the solid wood chest it sits on, even without the drawers. I had to nudge it along the carpet with my knee. And I know my back is going to complain tonight, tomorrow and the day after.
