Ended up with mice in the garage. My trap that I named "Death Dealer" got 7 more unbaited kills before the spring popped and I had to buy new traps. Here's to hoping that the new 6 can match the 1.

Was about to eat some Batman Calzony pizza from Little Ceasers, I went in the cupboard and got the red pepper flakes and was shaking some on when BOOM the calzony piece was now covered in cinnamon. I realized I wasn't paying attention and grabbed the wrong bottle. And the cinnamon container didn't have the shaker top, so my hard shake resulted in 2/3rds of the bottle dumping out. I did my best to shake as much off the pizza as I could, but the top of the calzone part was really greasy so a lot of it stuck. I tried to gently wipe some of the remaining off, but it just pushed it around and I ended up covering more of the pizza in cinnamon lol.

While I'm not advocating putting cinnamon on pizza, I wasn't going to toss 1 of the 2 calzony chunks away so I attempted to eat it. It wasn't great but not nearly as terrible as I was thinking it would be. I finished the slice anywho.

On a side note, the calzony part's pretty damn good (the one slice without the cinnamon) it's got some sort of garlic parm white sauce and garlic butter with parmesan brushed on top. Would eat it again.

Little Ceasar's? Bro...are you poor? Do you even lift? LC pizza is just one (of the many) that is actually worse than Domino's "The box is better than our pizza" Pizza.

Got approved for an Apple card! Not sure how that happened as I thought these were on the harder side to get approved for, and my credit score isn't good. Anywho, I added Apple shit to my cart and proceeded to check out.

*ERROR popped up at the last step* With tax the total was $1 and 80 some odd cents over my approved limit, sorry no soup for you!

Your limit is $2.00? You can't even cover shipping at Apple with that limit!

Boomer called it, I'm poor because I was eating Little Ceasers, So my $2 Apple Card limit, I should feel blessed I was approved for anything.

Hell, I wish Little Ceasers had a pizza credit card so I could eat more often.

WTH is with walmart.com? Don't they know how to code web sites these days?

I ordered some T.P. , paid for it, got the order confirmation, Paypal shows the amount was deducted, and I also got an SMS, and now Walmart's site doesn't even show the order in Purchase History.

:(

Figures, one of the few times that I didn't screenshot the order number, they lose track of my order!

Edit: It finally showed up. Guess they had to feed the hamsters.

A lot of retail sites seem to be terribly designed these days. Canadian Tire is horrible. Home Depot is not any better. It seems web designers try to use as much JS as possible and make the sites so bloated and glitchy.

Facebook is horrible too. If I try to open 2 FB tabs on my work computer it locks up the whole machine.

I have to buy time for my home internet phone from a phone. Login fails using my regular desktop browsers, but a mobile browser works. I only deal with it once a month, so I haven't been arsed to track down the issue, but it's clear to me the issue is their shitty js interface.

Peacock(NBC) can eat a bag of d*cks. Signed in using Dashlane so I wouldn’t forget anything. Pay using my Apple ID - confirmed. Went to sign in on Apple TV - password doesn’t match user login. Tried several times , deleted and reinstalled app - still get the same message. WTF!

Oh well, it’s only $5 for the month - I’ll happily pay $10 to watch the Super Bowl. Create a new login and sign up - 'you need premium' to watch this content, obviously. Choose premium and…you already have a subscription to premium. Figure I'll outsmart it and choose Premium Plus. 'Error processing payment'. 30 minutes later, after trying everything I could, I tossed in the towel. No super bowl for me and the Mrs. They’ll be getting a call today or tomorrow for a refund.

My local post office has a VERY bad habit of not delivering packages. They do not come to the door or leave them on the step.
They just put a slip in the mail box saying they attempted to deliver it. Then I gotta reschedule it for pick up or redelivery. Its annoying.
Theres large boxes for packages right next to the numbered mail boxes. I do not know what their fucking problem is. Its not laziness. It would be easier to walk or drive the 80 feet to my house and ring the bell than it is to fill out that piece of paper.
Maybe they're so scared of touching people they do extra work to avoid it?

Maybe all the large boxes are in use.

they were not, and it doesnt matter. all he/she had to do was drive 80 feet to my house and dump the box off. They've done it plenty of times already, and lied about it too.
More than once they dropped a box on my driveway and claimed it was put in the locker.
Sons of bitches.

USPS won't deliver anything that won't fit into my mailbox. They just leave a note saying there's a package to pick up at the post office. It's nice i can just have things delivered to work.

My FWP... i had to get a new phone because they're phasing out 3G & i can't get the alarm on the clock to work. Had an alarm set to go off M-F at a set time but it only worked once. I guess i'm going to have to try setting it each day & see what happens. Smart phone my ass!

I got a new phone too. T-Mobile was badgering me about it. Not sure why, since my old phone was lte, but whatever. I was due for a new one. My old one was lower end when new, I had it for 3.5yr. Got a Moto G Stylus 5G. Nice phone, and 5G's tits. Good coverage around here, and noticeably faster than 4G.

@Spacehead Kyocera flip. Drop/water resistant. Verizon. I do have a straight talk thinq7 for reasons. Verizon might be getting the boot because of the G3 but I haven't because that # is connected to important crap.

<---- me thinking about getting off my ass fixing the problem.

Both are thru TracFone
Old - LG 411G flip phone
New - Alcatel TCL A3 (A509DL)

edit-
i was running out of time so i just grabbed that phone at a CVS. Borrowed my dads which uses AT&T and got no signal at my house so i figured i'd stick with TracFone for now as it uses Verizon & i know i can get at least a weak signal here.
