    Now is the atmosphere ruined because the sky is falling, or is the sky falling because the atmosphere is ruined?

    Yes...?

    The indicator light is flashing red on our gas boiler. It's also been losing pressure all week. 

    I'm not in the mood to be blown to pieces, so I've reported it to my father's landlord. They've said they'd send some one out to take a look at it at some point. Although I copped a mouthful from my father when I woke him up to tell him what had happened. "You should've just turned it off and left it until the morning".

    Me: "No. You should've got off your a$$ and reported it yesterday..."

    I've been going through therapy, and I can slowly feel myself gaining confidence. Which means I'm now calling out my father's bs. Truth be told, I think therapy is creating a monster ^^'

    I somehow made 3 orders at Taco Bell.  For some unknown reason to me, I got 4 bags of food plus 2 drinks.

    ...that happened after I had a bad fall over three and a half decades ago ago on the college campus I was at.  Cracked several ribs on one side and had a meniscus tear on the opposite knee so yeah was absolute pain (also couldn't use two crutches because of the ribs).  I was put on a regimen of some pretty heavy duty painkillers and pretty much lost track of a couple weeks of my life.  After the regimen was over and I finally became more a bit lucid, I saw a fairly sizeable stack of empty pizza boxes in the corner of the apartment's porch.  I asked my flatmate where they all came from, he  he replied "you don't remember?" 

    I really didn't.

    @ LeatherGryphon. Take it slow, take it easy, and get better.

    Sounds like me on a normal day now. I'm really lucky to remember full detail about 9 hr later. If I'm reminded 
    I can vaguely recall, but after about 30 hrs, it's like it never took place.

    For some reason, all my Youtube ads are now Japanese.

    ...aww geez.  Loved her in young Frankenstein 

    She was also in an episode of Star Trek (which was her first major speaking television role) as the secretary of the main character Gary 7 (played by Robert Lansing) in the episode "Assignment Earth" which was a pilot for a spin-off that never saw its own release afterwards.

    LeatherGryphon, according to my records (which have always been accurate even to the beginning of time three weeks ago) it may be time for you to consider canceling your antivirus subscription and starting a new one.

    I heard a train in the distance this morning while eating my poptarts.  It was nice to hear.

    I also heard a bunch of barking in the neighborhood.  It was a lot of barking as if several individuals were barking with a lot of enthusiasm of a pack of dogs.

    Halloween tomorrow, probably a ghost train and the barking is likely werewolves.

    ...I hear trains all the time, but then I live a a block and a half from the train station.

    Sometimes it is a steam train as there are a few restored, working locomotives here that are used for special railfan excursions.

    I am trying to think of a quick costume to use tomorrow. I thought of a purple hair vampire fast employee.

    I have an almost complete fast food uniform except for the apron.  It is a genuine fast food uniform.

    Wait!  It is my work uniform.

    I live less than a hundred yards from the main London to Cambridge line, but don't often 'hear' the trains, been in this house for well over 2 decades and after a while we just don't register the noise. We have had the Tornado go through a couple of times whilst we have been home, not a restored steam train but a new one built over 15 years or so to the original A1 design but adapted for modern safety etc. so it can run on British main lines not just 'heritage railways.

    I made this tag so I can be Alice the Vampire for Halloween..  I thought I needed it so that I can look like it is a costume.

    Another MidWest thing happened. Phones were going off Tornado warnings. At 2:00 am, I got up and turned on the TV to see, and it said we had 0 minutes until it was on us. That is where the Midwest thing happened. I went back to bed. 0 minutes meant I was dead, so staying up wasn't an option.

    The storms were not that bad. Everybody still has a cow. It's just a different cow from the one they had before.

    YouTube is still pretty sure I'm in Japan, and while I know some Japanese, I'm nowhere near fluent enough to read or listen at commercial speed. This means that fairly often, I'm not even sure what's being advertised. Ironically, I saw yet another ad for Hero Wars, but this one at least showed some of what I think the actual gameplay is like.

    Maybe you should start watching Japanese videos and see if the algorithm explodes.

    Complaint:  Getting old isn't all fun and games.  I just performed an unintentional experiment and have proved that microwave ovens heat more than water molecules.  After supper I wanted a cup of coffee.  I'd already washed the dishes and put them away.  So, I grabbed my favorite heavy ceramic coffee mug (aka: "stoneware") and popped it into the microwave for the usual 2 minutes.  I grabbed the coffee jar, a spoon, and some creamer, set it up on the counter and waited for the "Ding".   "Ding", all done, popped open the door, stuck my finger in the cup handle, started to pull the cup out to set on the counter, but just as the cup was exiting the confines of the oven I realized that it was unusually light, and before my brain could squeeze out the reason, I also realized it was exceedingly HOT.surprise  So, now the cup is dangling over the floor and my finger flesh is melting.crying   About that time my brain had caught up with the situation and informed me "It's empty you fool!".  Three microseconds later I had the cup on the counter and my finger under the cold water tap and the neighbors probably thought I'd been shot and I even think that I taught them a few new words.  Yep, dry ceramic heats up real nice in the microwave when there isn't enough other mass in the microwave field to absorb the energy.  Now I know. indecision

    I hate doing stupid things by not paying attention.  I have three rules to survive old age.  1) Don't rush my movements.  2) Don't take shortcuts. 3) Pay attention to details.  How many of those did I violate?frown

    Non-complaint:  While the hot mug was sitting on the counter, heating the room, I grabbed another cup, put water in it, irradiated it for 2 minutes, and succeeded in assembling my cup of coffee.  All is right with the world.  Except when this burn turns to a blister.   But for now I have coffee.  Wheee...yes

    long before the time of the microwaves ... I was delivering newspapers to carriers at about 3 am. Which required a large cup of coffee. Simple. Heat water on stove pour into coffee cup. 
    One night just as I was starting to pour I realized the cup wasn't very deep, in fact not deep at all. I don't want to guess how close I was to trying to fill the upside down mug with boiling water but I do try to keep brighter lights in the kitchen now.

    ...while in the East it's been more like summer this Halloween , here in the northwest it's been very typical weather for late October/early November (chilly and wet) so just stayed in tonight.  Woke up with all the joints and bones aching (as Musty would say the "bone gnomes" have been working overtime) .

    Also, election years really take their toll on me, seemingly more and more the older I get. So drained I didn't even get around to posting a Halloween pic this year (I'll leave it at that).

    I was already watching a non-zero number of Japanese videos, so it probably wouldn't make that big of a difference.

    I keep getting Spanish videos for some reason. "I only speak 2 languages, English and bad English"
