Oh I forgot about this one, the other day I went to the restaurant and I was the first to arrive since my family were not there yet. The waitress asked if I wanted to sit at the bar. I guess I look like the type of person that just drinks and knows things. lol. Bring me more wine.

My organic bread came with organic pantry moth larvae in it. I had flick a couple off, and think happy thoughts while I ate my Nutella toast. I put the rest of the bread in the fridge. Guess I'll have to inspect every piece.

Your story gives no indication thats she thought you knew ANYTHING...just that you looked like a drunk...damned gingers.


Anyway, today's FWP for me was pretty bad. I was working in the yard, clearing a place to put a chain link dog kennel that's going to be an enclosure to keep deer out of my blueberries. My wife said, "It's time for lunch. Want to go have lunch on the beach?"
How the hell could I say no to that...so I picked up my tools and stuff...and to the beach we went. Nice day for lunch on the beach...temps around 70 with a gentle on-shore breeze...with only a light infestation of tourists. :p

I joined FB a few years ago because there was a nerd group I wanted to join. This morning FB locked me out, demanding a cell phone number (not optional anymore). I'm not giving FB a cell number so goodbye FB.

Jeez that's stupid. Yeah I don't blame ya.

I barely visit Facebook anymore; maybe once a week for a few minutes. Mainly cause I'm a loser with no life (nothing to share). Oh well

I left facebook when they did that 'tie-in' with google and all of a sudden all my data was searchable :mad:. Goodbye facebook. Miss being able to keep up easily with distant relatives though.

I was really tired yesterday so I took a nap when I got home and didn't wake up until 8. Couldn't fall asleep again until late so I'm even more tired today.

Mulching mower wouldn't start (couldn't pull cord). Grass had formed a ring on the inner edge of the deck and locked the blade in place. Had to really put some muscle into it to get the damn stuff out (it was super packed). Stupid Toro, never happened with my Ariens. That's what I get for being a cheap bastard.

Lead pipe is always the best weapon...

Burn it? Fuck that wasteful shit. Once you get your beloved lead pipe proprly seasoned...with the blood, brains, and hair of those obstacles who were foolish enough to get in your way...it announces itself...and the fools will move for you.
Yeah, dna and shit...jail ain't for me.

You can't sleep during the day, even if you're really tired? Try blocking out all light in your bedroom, blankets over the windows or whatever. Sheit, I think I could sleep anytime of day, anywhere, probably even with a big sweaty man slapping my ass too.

My FWP is I'm at a job that I despise. I've probably bitched about it before. I'm sorry if I keep doing it. I know I need to find another one, but it would be a real dick move if I left them right now (I don't care about the company, cause they wouldn't me, but I do my co-workers). I'm hoping later this fall to. If I don't hang myself first. fml

I changed my mind to have some flooring ordered online delivered to my house instead of the store. I had to use my iPhone to call the customer service line and speak to a human.

Dammit...she did it to me again. :mad:

"Stop working. Let's go have lunch at the beach."

Those damned rocks aren't gonna shovel themselves! (believe me...I've tried repeatedly to make that happen)
Oh well...they'll probably still be there tomorrow...or the next day...or next week. :cool:

Glad you found something. $500 sounds cheap. How much is rent now?
$440 :p Was $250 when I opened. That is half because my neighbor is using half of my space for storage. The building has been in this family since the 40's and the owners just never really raised the rent. The new spot is ~800spft and has been in that family for ~60 years. It wasn't even advertised for rent. One of my, also has to move, neighbors told me about it. I'll have to renovate a little but it shouldn't be too bad unless I decide to put in the store front window I want.
