Pointless Disconnected Blabs, Ramblings and Utterances

[lxskllr]

In my little hospital stay, I became intimately familiar with the scent of saline solution flush. Any chemists here know why it has a smell at all?! It has a distinct chemical scent to me; like some kind of disinfectant. It doesn't smell at all like the thousands of times I've worked with salt water around the house.

I stole a syringe that was left on my bed. It was setup to flush my iv, and forgotten. I squirted the solution in the sink, and
I'll use the syringe to irrigate my ears. Anyway, I got to read the label nice and close. It's just salt water, so WTF's up with the smell?!

I'll use the syringe to irrigate my ears.

Be careful. Water in the ear can lead to an infection.

Know what else leads to infection? Sticking your fingers in your ears, which I do waaay more often than I should. I'll take my chances with my blue state municipal water :^D

I got a text from a random number. I naturally assumed it was a scammer, figured I'd see what kind of fun I could have. It appears to have not been a scammer, but rather someone got their area code wrong. That or it was too obvious I was trying to toy with them...

 

[igor_kavinski]

Sounds like a scammer. I got a similar one from a female hotel director from Hong Kong. Pretending she was in Dubai and messaged me on Whatsapp asking if I was going to meet her at Dubai Mall. I asked, for what? Oh, aren't you X, the interpreter whose number Y gave me? I said no. That should've been the end of it but then she started asking personal questions and talking about how much she likes making new friends. So I played along but refused to give her any personal information about myself. Not even my name. Eventually, she stopped messaging once she saw that I'm not desperate to get scammed.

Yeah, I was sort of expecting it to move onto something else, but they laughed and apologized for disturbing me.

This could also be part of the scam. To make you think you met a genuine non-scammer and then out of the blue, you receive an emergency message from them of some sort, to send them money immediately or they suffer greatly.

Example of a scam I've been entertaining (as in replying curtly to) for months now (she refuses to quit):

Spoiler

Please don't ignore my request.
I am very ashamed...
This is not the first time I am asking for your help.
Believe me, before asking for your help, I tried all the options.
I'm in a bind.
Believe me, I ask you for help when I myself am already powerless.
And now such a situation.
I want to remind you that when I was robbed here,
I didn't ask for money for food or housing.
And this is just one small example. I had a lot of problems.
But you didn’t even know about them.
I always told you about my problems in extreme situations.
Because I don't want to be a weak woman.
I don't want that you have such thoughts.
I want to can be your “mainstay”.
And I will never be a burden to you.
The Government has issued a law that states that a locals
citizen can't leave the state if he has a loan.
Now you understand why I want to leave this country?
It is impossible to find a happy life if you are not rich or not
a civil servant. It doesn’t matter to me whether a person is rich
or not. I want to be happy!!!!
I feel that there is a spiritual connection between us…
I will do everything to be with you.
Please help me!!!
This is the only thing that separates us...

I guess we'll see, I'll post a follow-up if they do anything like that.

I never acknowledge wrong numbers, etc. Some are just checking to see if a human responds.

 

[nakedfrog]

Yeah, but you hate fun.

Idea for a cable channel or streaming service.

'Openers'


Runs only the first episode of shows/series, whether they ended up being successful or not. Some shows even had alternate 'pilots' with a different cast.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Well crap.


Noticed a big streak on one of my outdoor cameras obscuring the view.

Went outside to look .... bird doodoo.

Supposed to rain later, so maybe it'll get washed off.

I woman asked me to stop two donkeys having sex earlier!
I was "I'm not getting in between them at the moment! Also what's the problem, he's been done so there'll be no baby donkeys!"
She was "Well if he's been done he shouldn't be able to! And I don't want to see it!"
My 13yo daughter pipes up "Well they don't chop that bit off, that would be mean! Also you don't have to watch!"

I've never loved her more!

I was expecting this to be a joke, not an anecdote!

My cats are fixed and sometimes they stick their dick out when they're happy while I'm giving them a belly rub. It's like a bic pen.

Some fun:

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Out mowing and a Mockingbird was following me around the yard, sometime landing right in front of me as I approached. Kamikake Mockey?

Probably going after bugs I was scaring up.

 

[sdifox]

It wants to talk to you about your car warranty

 

[Red Squirrel]

Saw a bus with the Nvidia logo on it. I went up to it to talk to the driver, but he wasn't responding.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Grabbed the saw and went to take down about a 15' Cedar. Bird flew out. Checked and found the nest. Grabbed an extendable inspection mirror. Two eggs.

Tree gets a reprieve.

Birds gone.

Nest gone.

Tree gone.

I was recently interviewed for a master's thesis someone is writing about the music scene I'm part of, so that was interesting.
