Ah. At least the Chase outages are scheduled and announced ahead of time. I don't think I've ever heard of a 3 day website outage! That's rather hilarious.

Chase may be a large evil corporation but at least they get the job done.

Yeah, my mom is happy with them I guess. Only time there is a problem is if the IP address changes or some other variable that an automatited Chase phone calls you and you have to enter that password. Other than that she's had good luck which is appealing at this point.

I finally was able to see my balance and celebrated with a restaurant visit and a shit load of liquor. LMAO!

I mean, there is NOTHING worse than not seeing your balance. I always hated when I'd deposit a check on Friday and have to wait til Monday to have my money. Never had direct deposit.

All my wife's cat does is puke on shit.

I cannot wait until the stupid thing dies. It is literally useless.

I have a love hate relationship with this cat, I've had her for over 10 years, been through the big life milestones with her. Graduating high school, graduating college, getting a job, getting a house, etc. She's really cuddly and lovable when she wants.

But then she can be the biggest asshole ever by puking on the couch and other bad areas. I can't leave my bedroom door open or she WILL puke in the bed. That is the worse thing ever since my washing machine is not big enough for the comforter, and if it seems through to the mattress, then pretty much have to buy a new one. It's only happened a few times and I caught it fast enough that it did not get to the mattress but now I know to not leave the door open at all, not even for a short while, if I'm not home.

I also learned the hard way that a leather computer chair is also not immune to this, because it ends up seeping through a seam and into the foam, and the smell is practically impossible to get rid of as it becomes trapped inside the cushion. I put tons of chemicals in there and left a fan on it for a week and the smell eventually went away.

I think my cat's main issue is her weird eating habit. She eats very sporadically and at times gobbles everything up. I need to figure out a feeding system where she can only eat a bit at a time. The turn table feeder is not enough, she's gotten smart enough to wait till it's about to turn, so she finishes the bowl that's there, then finishes the next one right away when it turns.

Though I've seen times where she was sleeping with me all night and randomly pukes out of nowhere right from sleep, so it's not just her eating that does it. The sound of her puking actually wakes me up despite me being a hard sleeper, almost like a mother being woken up by a crying baby, it's like an instinct. So I can usually manage to throw her off the bed before she pukes on it.

But not really sure what to do about the couch. I almost need to figure out a way to quickly flip it over when I'm not using it. Or maybe just fabricate something to put over the seating area that is not comfortable to be on. Wont stop her from puking on the arm rests or head rest though.

I went to Krispy Kreme this morning to get a coffee and a donut. I asked for the devils food chocolate donut.

The scraggly mustached teenager working the counter looked at me like I had 3 eyes. He blinked and said "What do you want?". Again...I said "Devils food chocolate cake". He looked back at me and said "I don't have a clue what you want. We have glazed cake donuts."

*sigh*

I worked for a Krispy Kreme franchise for 5 years. They used to be called Devils food cake.

On their own website they say devils food cake.

"Chocoholics take note, if you love devil's food cake, then you'll love this doughnut! It's rich, moist, and chocolatey. As the final step, we send the doughnut through our Original Glaze waterfall - creating an exquisite taste treat."

He was most likely hungover and still sleeping. After all, last night was 'Thirsty Thursday'!!!! Cut him some slack you grumbly old man. :D

The other day I ordered the $1.99 "Fish 'n' Chips" from Long John Silver's. They responded that they don't have that but they do have Fish 'n' Fries for $1.99.

More like I thought something was coming and it turned out to be something else...

I've seen this happen to many adults. Grown men!

It actually seems more common with age. I'm lucky so far *knocks on wood* but really... lol... glad it wasn't me.

The day that happens is the day I know I'm REALLY old.

Holy shit, Krispy Kreme sells more than one type of donut!?!

Seriously, as far as I know, we don't have walk-in stores here.

Some onions somehow found their way in my sub and it just ruined the taste. I kept looking to see if I can find them but they were not easily visible so I kept biting into more of them. Now I still can't get rid of that nasty after taste. I don't know how anyone can eat onions, they taste like industrial cleaning product or something.

I'm grandfathered in on an unlimited data plan for my cellphone. Today I received a text that I've used 16.5GB and if I exceed 22 GB this month I might get throttled.

Dozing off on the subway, nailed my head against the wall when my head swung back...

I've gone in there a few times and posted. Did you know that there is a healthy sized user base on this forum that appears to have signed up just so they could post in P&N?

I have to avoid several threads on this forum to make sure I don't read any spoilers for The Martian.

Fucking cold out there today. Autumn came quickly. Had to break out the waterproof shoes, jacket, and gloves.

Not a fun saturday. I think I'll nap instead of working outdoors.

Just watched Indiana football fail really hard. The world is as it should be now.
