Complaint; Today was the first work day after 2 week vacation, and it was also the one and only summer day up here, not a drop of water, sun was shining without clouds and temperature got up to 32C (90F)
Non-complaint; I still have 3 weeks vacation left of this years vacations
Very good.
Are you one of those people who write those side-effect warnings at the end of TV drug advertisements? You know, the ones that start out benign & bothersome but ramp up to Biblical, and end up suggesting that "... and you may die if you even look at the bottle"?
I think my favorite was one I saw that said something like, it could prevent heart attacks but the side effect was it could cause heart failure.
Drugs like Metformin Keep your heart health up but kills your kidneys.
I used to go shopping with one of my friends. I would read labels that drove her up the wall; I would be like you're going feed this to your Child.
well I guess I won't be watching anything by Disney in the future.
They are going to stop selling physical media in Australia.
With our lousy broadband nobody I know is fond of streaming
(I think they actually want us to pay for it to be shipped here ourselves rather than distribute it, unsure what their endgame is)
That's simple...more money for them!
I do this whenever I go grocery shopping with my daughter and grandkids LOL. It drives her up the wall too. I'll spew off why something is a bad choice as I take it out of the cart and put it back on the shelf. The side effect is other people in the aisle who overhear us often start looking at the labels and sometimes they even ask questions or Google the thing in question.
I got caught replacing the products with better ones with names you can pronounce.
...yeah when the ingredients list on a package reads like a graduate biochemist's PHD thesis I avoid the product. There are some things I also need to be careful about like lots of added sugar (particularly High Fructose), high sodium content, various artificial ingredients, etc. Usually the order of ingredients on the label denotes the amount from largest to least, so when say High Fructose Corn Syrup is the second item on the list, that's a big "no" (for example I stay away from most major brand soft drinks as the list usually goes: water, HFCS, artificial flavour. etc). . Anything that also has word "flavourings" without denoting what they are tends to be a miss as well.
Complaint: Made Chilli. Why, oh, why did I do that? It feels like a Gas Gaint is forming in my belly; I told the wife I was sorry for tonight when she went to bed. Good thing I like Kidney Beans and tomatoes: Plop, Plop, fizz fizz. Tomatoes are the perfect food for people with diabetes. It's considered a portion of free food; you can eat almost as much can; watch out for the chips with salsa.
meh
bought an infrared camera but of course it won't work through the window
the outdoor ones cost 3X as much and need batteries or a solar panel
keep getting notifications on my iPad from the Swann app because Denis keeps investigating it, he shows up pretty well whiskers and teeth!
I didn't really want one outside where it could be stolen with the SD card so not sure how am going to solve this, maybe drill a hole in my wall?
above the window it is weatherboard and has a pelmet to sit on, there is even a crack there already, I suspect it's not load bearing since not brick, the crack is from my foundation sinking one corner
my cats run along that pelmet though
Maybe you could try bear proofing...
I think I might actually rather deal with a bear in the house than see a bear walk on one of those. It's close though.
Today I told a scammer I was pick pocketing a master farmer. They told me I shouldn't do it or something like that. I said I did it because I couldn't talk to the master farmer. I forgot to tell the scammer that the master farmer is in a game I play and there are only two options for him, examine and pickpocket.

Complaint: I was having a bad dream that woke me up. Real life appeared worse, so I went back to sleep as I preferred the bad dream,
Turn off the news. Just look at the flowers & cat videos.
I know what you mean. sometimes it's just like that. I hope things get better for you!
My nightmares cause me to start throwing fists at my wife. Of course, they are caused by my meds and childhood traumas; I am getting a sleep study done next week. Right now, it seems that we sleep at different times. I don't blame her; I'm surprised the baseball bat hasn't been used on me yet—just another wrinkle with my heart problems.
...yeah I've had times like that, going through one now which is the result of the left hand of bureaucracy not knowhing what the right hand does.
...The Bureaucratic Gordian Knot Complaint Thread.
...The Waking Nightmare Complaint Thread
Once upon a time I awoke to my better half ( 4 better half's ago) destroying the bedroom. I was underneath the mattress, which was a good thing considering he was throwing the dresser drawers out the closed window. The room was covered in glass. He woke up and asked, "What the hell happened? Who the f**k did this?" He dreamt I was drowning under a log (the mattress) and flipped it, and me, over. Almost killed me, trying to save me. I can't count the times he slept walked while acting out his dreams/nightmares.
Edit: 6 better halfs ago . . . yikes!
...oooh, that is dangerous. Hopefully he got some help.
First of all I don't like these new notifications. At least those orange bars didn't move around or keep popping up over and over.
I don't think I've ever had a dream make me violent. I've had a few dreams that made me want to go back to sleep, fight back, and wake up again. And I haven't had a man stay around long enough for one to wake up mad at me. My current partner has her wild moments but usually while she's awake.
The dreams that disturb me the most are when I dream about somebody and wake up to realize that person isn't with us anymore. In my family, we have a policy that we don't want you to leave this world. But if you do, don't be coming back and scaring the hell out of people.
I have been involved with my share of violent people. And I've had a few of them say I'm the crazy one. But I've never had to live with it. I think I'd be a bit understanding if a medical condition causes it.
There was never ever a boring moment with my sleep walking ex. Speaking of boring, yesterday was my birthday. I spent 3 hours of it watching John Wick Chapter 4. I could finish an unfinished house, walk the Kona Island, raced the Tour de Palm Springs, offload a truckload of 60 pound cement bags (yes I have done these things) and never felt near as exhausted as I felt during those three hours. The plot twists were: (no spoilers here) Wick attacked by kick-a$$ assassins, attacked again by more kick-a$$ assassins . . . Someone decided a turning point would by the assassination fee being raised three million, bit by bit, scene by scene. It wasn't a bad plot, because, there was no plot. Watching it was the most exhausting activity I have ever done, and all I did was lie back on a couch, bored, watching a montage of bloodshed. Donnie Yen was worth lifting an eye for and KR did a great acting job but the majority of the scenes were (an understatement) redundant, redundant, redundant . . .
...happy, somewhat belated, birthday.
Yeah, John WIck films do that to me as well.
I watched it this morning. I like how the bullets bounce off the suits, and you can climb a person with knives.
For me, it's more of the shock, that turns me catatonic. And I can't turn it off until everybody's dead.
Non-complaint: Weather: Still gorgeous. Mid 70s, partly cloudy, slight breeze, not noticebly humid.
Time to toddle off to the store for groceries.
'Nother Non-complaint: Ear/brain candy. Again I extol the wonderfulness of the Rachmaninoff 2nd Symphony. All of it.
But today I recommend taking just 15 minutes, hide from the kids, and anybody else. Turn the lights down, relax in your chair and resolve to not get up until you're bored. Put on your headphones, recline back and listen to the 3rd movement (at 29:50). Let the clarinet solo at the beginning of that movement engage your brain. Relax and fall into the music. Listen to the melody of the notes, follow the notes, it keeps moving, doesn't stagnate. It's always taking you someplace. imagine a movie scene it would fit. That one, short, 3rd movement lulls you into dreamland, takes you on a brief dream adventure that quickly builds to a blinding epiphany, and then eases you down into stillness (twice), before the explosive beginning of the 4th (final) movement wakes you up again. Marvelous.
Then I dare you to not keep listening.
And if you really want a mood setter, listen to the first 5 minutes of the 1st movement. And if you are now hooked, the whole piece is a palace of music.
Edited to correct beginning time of 3rd movement.
Twice last night, my wife was talking in her sleep so loudly that I could hear it from my office across the hall with headphones on, and both times she was going on about towels. The first time she said, and this is an exact quote, "what's the villain for the towels?"
I don't know, but if he comes with a Cannon, you're in trouble.
