Apparently there's a new Viking-themed male core figure whenever the store turns over.
edit: and he's here!
Oh I tried Lyft but I couldn't receive any text messages as my phone was dead while the iPad wasn't. I got Uber installed and they didn't have sign in via phone number mess. I was able to get home via Uber.
I got home and found a package for me from cvs OTC. I opened it, but it was not my order. I only got two items that I ordered, but the rest I didn't order. I wasn't happy with that.
Oops! Accidentally double posted.
I did call the OTC program from CVS and my insurance. I told them that I didn't get my order, but I did get my heating pad. My internet was acting up. I had to exchange the sold out items for new items for new items. It was interesting as I had to ask the representative which items they had for certain price points,
An exploding penguin?
Monty Python comes very close :P
I watched Licorice Pizza tonight, and it reminded me why I don't go out of my way to see Paul Thomas Anderson movies. It's not a bad movie by any stretch, and I would generally say that I enjoyed it, but it was one of those movies that made me ask "why did you think this story needed to be told?".
I am tired. I am not allowed to go to my physical therapy appointment today. I don't know what to do.
Well, how about a some MP a little bit more uplifting than an uncontrolled rapid expansion of a stuffed Spheniscforme.
it got canceled without costing me by fines or fees.
Non-complaint: Yay! My neighbors remembered to take the garbage bins down to the street for pickup.
They'd forgotten for the last two weeks.
Yeah, yeah, I could have taken them if I'd remembered also, but they do it every week, and I let them. I'm old, I'm frail & arthritic. They're young and healthy. I have one kitchen bag a week. They often completely fill the two large trash containers every week. I have to get my bag into the container before they fill it up. The containers are on wheels, but the driveway is long, steep and rocky. Sometimes I'll bring one back up and place it behind the house, but it tuckers me out with just one empty container, and I have to collapse into my recliner and rest for 10 minutes to get my heart out of race mode with misfiring cylinders. Getting old sucks.
Except for all the bitching one is expected to do.
I kept my two trashbags in the bathtub, hidden behind the shower curtain, waiting for the containers to be empty again. I don't know where they kept an extra week of their own garbage. Perhaps down in the basement where it will soon waft it's odiferous vapors up through the floorboards of my living room.
But since I dragged one container back behind the house, I threw my two bags into it to get ahead of the game.
How can two adults, a 4 year old and a baby make so much garbage each week?
I remember the '50s back when plastic was rare. Packaging was either wood, paper, glass or metal. You took the glass & metal to the dump or scrap dealers. You burned the paper and wood in your back yard in an old 50 gallon barrel. You dumped the bio garbage into a compost heap to be used to enhance your garden. Now they build mountains of everything that comes out of a house. And it's largely plastic. The human race is doomed.
The Human Race Is Doomed Complaint Thread
I am checking out Duke hospital in my pjs. Not feeling well but in the emergency department.
Law and order is on tv in the waiting room, apparently someone got killed in the beginning of the episode.
...
....in 2003, the television in my old flat on which a wooden penguin stood went poof.. He fell off and broke a foot (which I easily glued back on) and now sits on one of my bookshelves. The television set likely had a date with a trash masher.
Technically burning the paper and wood contributed to some of the doom, but those garbage piles are going to make some future "genius" very, very rich... A some point certain materials will become too expensive to mine or create from scratch and someone will come along and dig up those garbage dumps using robotic mining equipment and AI sorting bots to separate all the various materials, which will be recycled into shiny new materials we haven't bothered to consider yet or have, but aren't going to waste time making because "that's a future me problem"...
I'm imagining that this genius who "comes up" with that idea, before they actually get involved in garbage at all, will have "started" a couple of preexisting ventures that nobody ever dared to think about before... except possibly the person who actually started that business...
Probably at least one will be a financial app with a cool name like "DraphtBuddy" that works with a little book of paper slips that you use like money, that you can assign a written value to and then use that "Drapht" to pay for stuff, provided the other person is willing to accept those slips as payment... it's sheer genius and if you are thinking you've heard of this before or that's how a checkbook works, you're wrong because it's an app and once something is an app, it's never been done before and it's revolutionary... plus it's requires a weekly subscription for the paper slips... it's even more genius.
Don't scoff... someone made an app called iBeer and it's been downloaded 90 million times, so if you are still thinking of making that iToiletPaper app, give it a shot, nothing is too dumb to be an app.
But whatever, that dude or dudette will come along and insert themselves in the company and before anyone realizes, everyone will be convinced they created it and then they'll sell that company for a couple billion dollars before everyone realizes DraphtBuddy was a dumb idea with terrible security and a stupid business model based on checking accounts.
But no matter what that person will be considered a genius because loads of people will get rich investing in that app or buying its stocks before it goes bust, which will be blamed on whoever bought the company after the genius sold it.
Then one day the genius will be sitting around half stoned in a hotel room in some exotic location, watching a vacuum robot sucking up floor popcorn and they'll have an epiphany about mining and processing valuable materials from garbage dumps, just like the guys at some small company doing just that, an article they read a few minutes before... it'll be a brilliant idea they just came up with and they'll eventually own that company they'll claim they founded and they'll be credited with helping save the world and it'll go to their head and they'll think they are the smartest person that ever lived and they have millions of followers who reinforce that notion constantly.
I dunno where it'll go from there, these things tend to have patterns, but sometimes they diverge slightly enough to end up somewhere entirely different.
But either way, once garbage dump mining is a thing it'll create lots of new jobs for otherwise unemployed robots and it'll give us even more time to waste not fixing other problems because the natural resources things has a temporary bandaid and that's always good enough.
So, no doom for the human race in that department... none at all... it's all good... just fine...great in fact.
Well, maybe. I was thinking of changing the title anyway. Any other suggestions?
I don't think being at the hospital is fun.
..it most definitely isn't. Been there before myself.
the store is slow while i am browsing the section for the super flash sales.
I was looking for something to order at Michaels as I had a $5 coupon. I don't want anything shipped to me but I couldn't find anything I wanted in stock at the nearby store.
I was doing the looking this afternoon not while I'm at hospital.
I'm about to go home. A little girl wanted my doll Kara but I can't give her the doll. This took place at the waiting room of the emergency department.
I brought the pink hair doll Kara and the toy penguin Toby. I also brought my rainbow pop it fidget toy,
My Mum is in hospital today. Liver biopsy. They wouldn't let anyone go with her. She was absolutely petrified when the transport people picked her up. They couldn't lift her, so I had to do it. I've been up all night.
I'm listening to music to try and block out my demons - which are in full voice right now. I've got a pile of washing to do, and the machine has decided it would be a good time to regurgitate past washes - Which means it has to be cleaned again.
The Tabby Terror is called Toby. Loves me, dislikes everyone else. He's a Maine Coon - Our first experience with an acutal breed of cat (our other cats have just been domestic shorthairs). It's been a real eye-opener ^^' He's pretty boisterous. He's my sanity, and my insanity. Both angel, and imp. And the only other coping strategy I have since Mum has been unwell. But my father wants to get rid of him (he can't deal with Toby's "antics", so it's easier to get rid of the "problem").
Oh well... That bed ain't gonna change itself...
Condolences+
But on the bright side, I'm sure Japan has probably invented a bed that makes itself.
Hmmm... wouldn't that be like perpetual motion. Or life!
I changed the password on my email account last night but now I forgot it.
...well they do make dunnies with features like automatic opening/closing lids, automatic flushing, and cleaning, as well as heated seats and built in bidets with several settings.
Sitting in the outhouse in -20C (-4F) with the wind blowing in ones hair, one can only dream of automatically opening/closing lids...
I think a package from Jacksonville came yesterday. I don't know anything about it. The on,y one I knew who lives near Jacksonville is my father. I'm afraid if it is for me it is kept from me for stupid reasons. I want to move out of here. Why can't I seem to get a break and find a good place to live?
I was thinking it would be nice to have a toilet with an automatically opening/closing lid. Because we also have cats that do things. Maybe the self-closing lid would keep them from trying to drink out of the toilet. Of course, I should probaby assume they would manage to trigger the lid to open, climb inside, and then trigger the lid to close and the toilet to flush. Such is life.
,..you really need to have a long talk to your worker about this so he/she can actually get you into a place that's actually supportive. rather than one that sound more like a prison. Negative reinforcement does more harm than good and confiscating personal property is not just wrong, it's theft.
