Auto-play on internet videos.

(I think they're using HTML 5 now,annoyingly.)

(Most commonly found on news websites.. )

The site I'm irritated by is kgw.com. (Oregon NBC affiliate)..

Why does this exist? Using Chrome.

I use Pine Sol for cleaning and yesterday I was pouring it into water but it wasn't bubbling. Normally it bubbles.

It turns out I wasted about 0.2-0.3L of a perfectly fine peach ice tea. Almost the same color and the bottle is similar.
In retrospect, my brain did register that it wasn't quite in the same spot in the pantry where I usually keep Pine Sol, but it didn't seem to warrant a deeper analysis. :rolleyes:

At least you didn't drink Pine Sol

Wnt back to the doctor's office,thinking I could get my catheter removed.

Nope..had to have a replacement one put back in. Also,the docs sprung the news on me,that I most likely have a UTI.

(Which means even more meds to take..Yay!)

Murphy of Murphy's Law is following me around now..

Wow that sucks, I can't imagine how uncomfortable that must be to have.


This is not really my FWP but when I was at the Tim Horton drive thru on way to work I noticed the construction crew across the street getting ready to pour concrete, the cement truck was backed up and ready to pour. Out of nowhere it just started to rain super hard, full blown torrential downpour. I suspect that batch was a write off after that as the area they wanted to pour in is now all mud and flooded so it will be a while to get it back to a good state. I am almost pissed off for them and I don't even work in construction! You basically lose a whole day work of work because of something like that.

My neighbors confuse me. They have the following: two very large pickup trucks, one large conversion van, one jet ski, one snowmobile, one or more motorcycles. They moved into a house with a 1-car garage and no driveway. Motorcycles are in the garage. Where does everything go? Out in the street in front of my house of course. Why the fuck would you have so much shit and decide to live somewhere with a one car garage?

Scammed myself into shortening grass today. It started with "Well, we'll do the left side, and maybe leave the rest for another day". Kept doing more and more til it was done. I didn't feel like doing it, but I'm not gonna be more motivated any other day. Dumbest shit in the world... :^S

Mowing the lawn is such bullshit. Its like, oh yeah im accomplishing something, something that never stays finished. Just have to do it again next week. The only saving grace now for me is its actual exercise since my rider deck grenaded. Probably need to do one final mow for the year and mulch in all the leaves falling. Ugh.

I guess I should consider the vaccine, eh? Do we still have vaccines? Maybe magic crystals. Probably just as good.
