Lighting fixtures have yet to catch on in Japan. Most people have bog standard over head lighting and strip lighting in kitchens. No atmospheric lighting.

Whenever I travel to Europe, I always wonder why everyone is walking around in low lit rooms. My brother and I have fights about lighting when we meet up at my parent's house. I like to watch TV in a fully lit room- he considers it crass.

I'm sort of like a mole, I dislike brightly lit rooms except for cleaning purposes. We have that overhead fluorescent lighting in the kitchen here and I hate it, it hurts my eyes almost as much as exposed light bulbs. When I went to school and they had similar lighting, it used to make it hard for me to read.

The kind of boat I want is in the Many dollar range. No can afford......

No can pass Polish Math neither, oj nie.

here, can you guys chip in to get me a Many ft Viking? I'll feel better then......

Here, can you take remedial lessons on Polish Math? We'll feel better then...

Here's one they're only asking Many for

or this one for Many

Easily affordable, si man.

Only Many years older but Many less.

Mrs. T-B.'s rationale when she bought me cheap, si man.

The second one is more what I need. The Many'rd one is nuttin but trouble.

The Polish Math Fail is trouble, sigh man.

Now its Many% of the gains during the marriage, regardless of who made them, which is fair.

Many% is always fair, si man.

Happy belated birthday Tbone

LPoP and unread and in microscopic print, squint ma'am, but thank you, D ma'am. For those who wonder, I am now Many years old, same as last year, whee man.

1. I'm not going beyond 201Many here.

2. higher pay

1. That's a rather long or short time, see man.

2. Will you be making $Many, then?

I still hate it.

And what part of this makes it worth staying for another nanosecond, huh man?

She easily makes Many-Many times what a carpenter makes

Not just Many, but Many-Many? What then is her complaint, huh ma'am? I would continue to scrape aardvark guano off tarmacs for remuneration like that, wow man.

I would be happy living with my husband in a trailer, I'm happy to live with him where we are, and would be happy with him in a house.

You would be happy on a boat

You would be happy with a goat

You would be happy in the rain

You would be happy on a train

You would be happy in a box

You would be happy with a fox

You would be happy in a house

You would be happy with a mouse

You would be happy here or there

You would be happy ANYwhere! Si, ma'am.

$Many for something like that??????????????????????????

More like $Many-Many, I'd say, oj tak.

Asia, stay safe! Poland is so close to the problematic area.

You're right, si ma'am! According to Polish Geography, it's right on the Specific Ocean, sea ma'am.

1. "Exhibitor’s sole and exclusive remedy is limited to $.Many (USD) per pound per article with a maximum liability of $Many (USD) per item, or $Many (USD) per shipment whichever is less." Is there any way around this?

2. We require them to give a CC for this charge if the booth doesn't return after Many days.

Many. $Many booth lost. They sent us an agreement to pay $Many.

1. It's clear to me that they owe you $Many, see ma'am.

2. If it's been that long, then they owe you the $Many, si ma'am.

Many. So what's the problem, then, huh ma'am? You broke even.

I think I got this.

I'm taking the negligence route.

The whole reason they had the freight was because they misloaded it.

I think the fact that we sign a limited liability agreement should be negated by their negligence.

Their clause suggests clients hold insurance for cases such as these, but their negligence gave us no opportunity to do so since the freight should have been moving under our carrier's insurance policy.

I think I got a headache, ache man.

I just bite the inner wall of the my right cheek while eating chocolate :( Now it is bleeding ulcer

Trade you for my back, si ma'am! Throw in the chocolate, too.

I'm pretty good at stitching ulcers, you want me to stitch it for ya?

Not till remedial Polish Math is passed, no man.

1. Our apartment opened up sooner than expected! Moving in next weekend!

2. Getting all Many of my wisdom teeth cut out tomorrow.

1. Yay, Part Many!

2. Trade you for my back, si ma'am! Ask Toothy for advice, expert ma'am.

Yeah. Might try Saipan over O-Bon.

Steve mentioned they have a different VWP from mainland US- I have been too depressed to check whether I qualify or not.

The bozo claims to have posted letter of withdrawal- hope he is telling the truth!

Last time I was in Saipan there were many Rissian tourists- I don't think I want one of them. I will see what's available. Pref a low maintenance old dude in a wheelchair .

1. I had Many wisdom teeth removed altogether in 1 time ( the Many'th wisdom teeth no growing, no need to remove)

2. It would hurt once the anesthesia is gone. Be prepared with many many ice packs to ice your jaws.

Many. And now your turn to enjoy being pampered like a Queen by your hubs

1. It affected someone's Polish Math ability, too, sigh ma'am.

2. Trade you, in retrospect, for my back, si ma'am!

Many. [sings to self] Ciudada-NA, ciudada-NA.... Americana siempre!

Actually, I have a dentist appt tomorrow too.....

To what are you appointing the dentist, huh man?

Mine hurt so bad before, I think Many of them were impacted that whatever followed was fine. I did bleed a lot after and completely soaked a pillowcase during a nap.

They impacted someone's Polish Math abilities, too. Trade you, in retrospect, for my back, si ma'am!

I could not sleep the 1st night after the teeth extraction. It was bleeding non-stop and I had to keep changing the cotton balls to soak up the blood.

Trade you for my back, si ma'am!

I'm pretty good at extracting. Ya want me to extract for ya?

We have to extract the faintest hint of Math ability from you first, sigh man.

1. How expensive is your house again? (Rhetorical)

2. Starts to get pricey.

1. Probably in the range of $Many to $Many, see ma'am.

2. Probably in the range of $Many to $Many, see ma'am.

Thursday report, si and sigh and ouch, man:

Got exactly Many minutes of sleep (2x2x2x2x2x2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2) and spent rest of night groggily admiring the patterns of back-throbbing, ouch man. Regretted not knowing Morse Code and thereby missing some surely interesting messages, sigh and ouch man. Regression attributed to accommodating cat with pompom/wrapper and dishing/de-dishing the warsher, sigh and ouch man.

On cue, the corpulent feline has just brought up the wrapper and is alternately attacking it, looking back at me expectantly, and stropping my legs, miu and sigh man. Sad to be unable to play with one of the children, sigh man.

Cat is now scratching chair and getting caught, indicating urgent need for a manicure, clip man.

Dragged to and through work, aided by 2 steroid pills beforehand, 2 daytime Vicodin pills within, and major concentration on commute home to avoid zzz, man.

Cat has just partaken in second trip to litter box within a short time, risking being mauled by the auto-timed rake, miu and ouch man. However, the rear-end production is impressive in quantity and odor, miu and stink man. Much litter has been kicked from box to floor, status quo man.

Got highly effective nap this eve for hour + half, zzz man; awoke in pain. Stagger-limped to bedroom; Mrs. T-B. insists on paying a Central American to mow the lawn this weekend, $igh man. However, neighbor gave us card from CA who charges a reasonable $Many, versus the outrageous $Many charged by almost everyone else, $i man. Mrs. T-B. has promised to call said CA if I leave her the $Many required for payment. This will automatically result in an urgent/sheepish call to me at work sometime tomorrow from Mrs. T-B., as follows:

Mrs. T-B. [innocent little-girl voice]: Cariño -- I need to pay the guy the money for mowing the lawn.

T-B. [rolling eyes in predictive knowledge]: And what happened to the $Many that I gave you for that?

Mrs. T-B. [flashing innocent puppy-dog eyes over phone]: I went to Kohl's today, and... and...

T-B. [rolling eyes in resignation]: And WHAT, Cariño?

Mrs. T-B. [ultra-innocently]: I don't know what happened, but... but... I need $Many to pay the guy.

T-B. [to self]: :bonk:

Another reason not to mow is that the City sent its mosquito-trucks out all over the 'hood last night; however, they skipped our street. Accordingly, every man-jack mosquito and his extended family has applied for asylum here, and chiefly here at the casa, sigh and scratch man.

We have agreed that I'm to call the doctor again to lobby for a shot of meat-tenderizer in the culprit muscle, and that if this isn't forthcoming (or if muscle-relaxant vs. hydrocortisone is offered), we shall go to the "Clinica Familia" (Family Clinic) next to the Mexican supermarket to get me shot up, si man.

Perhaps it is the pain talking, ouch man, but the GS menu for the weekend looks uninteresting, sigh man. Much rain is predicted on Friday morn, and exactly no geographically desirable GSs are looming, no man (and only one of any sort, sigh man). For Saturday (morning rain also predicted), only Many present themselves, and not in a logical driving pattern, no and sigh man. Were I to drive Many miles to a nearby town, the GSs are more clumped, but they don't look super-appealing, no and sigh man.

Accordingly, I am inclined to hit one GS (actually, a MS) on the way to the two tyre (British spelling) places, and also visit the lawnmower place where I'd bought the current mower, to learn whether it would be more financially feasible to repair the current one or to trade it toward a new one, see and learn man. The discussion would be academic, because there would be no way to lift said mower in or out of the T-B.-mobile for said repair or trade, no man.

We are tired and wish to head for bed, but the sooner we go, the sooner we shall lie awake, counting the throbs per minute. We have idly dined on some cheaps but without ardor, and even the cat -- having avoided being box-raked -- has fled the immediate scene, miu man.

Regardless: Cat, prep (heap-strong ineffective medicines), limited zzz man.

Mornin', Commie-babes!
