Did I miss anything interesting?

1. All my posts, oj tak.

2. Appropriately disseminating your +1 inventory, oj nie. Bad absent Asia! Bad, BAD absent Asia!

1. Upstate NY. This "summer" is reminding me of England.

2. Only with crappy chocolate and no scones.

1. Where upstate, huh man? It makes a difference, see man.

2. Apologies from me and my fellow Colonists, sigh man.

Tbone, becareful buying dented tins. They can contain botulism.

Any bug that bites me dies a horrible death, si ma'am.

This reminds me of the following, see man:

An Englishman visited the Corn Belt in the U.S. Amazed by the amount of production, he asked what was done with all the food products. He was told, "We eat what we can and what we can't, we can."

The Englishman found this hilarious, and he gleefully related the story to his associates back home. "And do you know what the Colonist said to me? He said, 'we eat what we are able and what we cannot eat, we put into tins.'"

1. my dad would buy exactly Many cans of evaporated milk at one go every time we went to the grocery store

2. check for dents [...] check for dents [...] be careful about dented tins

1. Thank you for being mathematically precise, si ma'am.

2. Dented does not equate to "puffed," oj nie. The only danger in buying a dented can (not "tin") is if both edges are damaged so that a can-opener can't open it, see man.

pfffft.

Where's the +Many button, huh ma'am?

Now gotta find something else to do for my vacation...

Visit Texas to see how real life is lived, yee-haaaaaaaa man.

it's supposed to begin at Many Many (11:00 pm) my time

Half-credit, oj tak -- the correct answer is "Many:00" or "Many o'clock," see ma'am.

Many. I bet Mrs T-B is right.

Many. this is not needed anymore from todays cans [...] the cans are coated so dents are not as big of a deal anymore

1. Thank you, D ma'am.

Sunday report, see man:

Popped out in morn to warsh filthy T-B.-mobile, cleanly man.

Warsh will probably be a waste because of forecast rain earlyish in week, Murphy's Law man.

However, getting even 2 days out of it will have been worth it, aesthetics man.

(Thread-Laundress Report) Warshed Many laundry loads today, domestic man.

Could not combine any, so maxed out at Many for first time in long time, si and see and sigh man.

Changed beds by self but without back-issues, no ouch man.

Completed all work brought home, industrious man.

Audited/rearranged shampoo/conditioner/mouthwarsh inventories, rediscover man.

As suspected, shall not have to buy any more of any of that for Many,000 years, oj nie.

Hammered loose gutters back onto casa, ladder man.

Pulverized surviving stragglers of yestereve's bloodbath of kitchen hormigas, diebastards man.

Am still awaiting input on yestereve's A/C questions, see those man.

Cat prep zzz soonish, man.

Mornin', Commie-babes!

What's with the naked Barbie, discarded on the floor??

That's a monster high doll, she loves it. Carries it with her all over the house. Whenever she gets a doll, she strips out down.....

Contents gone here to, I'm sure its something Tarklar did last night.

My weekend was a bad luck weekend. Just little things mind you, but they started to grate on the nerves. I'm in the mall with my wife, tell her I'm off to the restroom. Get to the restroom and some guy has it closed down for cleaning. I'm giving him my pleading look, because I had really hoped to have my wife out of there an hour earlier and been home long before now. He see's the look and says oh its totally flooded in here, you don't want to see it. So I cross the mall, and go down a level to reach another restroom. Restroom if locked shut, like #######! traverse even further away from intended location, finally find an open restroom. OK so now its time to walk back and find the wife. I traverse many steps across to total opposite side of mall, go to the escalator to return to the level I last saw my wife. Escalator is not running. Next nearest escalator is half way across the mall. Closest steps are almost as far. Walk up unmoving escalator. Why are unmoving escalators harder to walk up than steps? Somethings wrong there. Next day, back in another mall, short stop, wife wants new bras. Go into Victoria's Secret, bras obtained, wife is happy. We're heading out of the mall, wife says she needs a restroom, We head to restrooms on the way towards the side of the mall we parked at. Some Asian lady is cleaning the men's restroom, very slowly. Why does this keep happening to me? Wait for wife. Proceed to grocery store, tell wife I'm hitting the restroom, get to restroom, restroom is out of order! I give a little scream inside. Wait until returning home to use a restroom, after grocery shopping. I bring a load of groceries up to the kitchen, head to the bathroom, wife has occupied it. Traverse to other side of home, go to lower level to second bathroom. Give a little scream of relief upon finally taking pressure off the bladder.

There were other little things to. Like gassing up the wife's car Sunday evening, she wants her car washed to, which is fine, just run through the touch free car wash and get it home to park in the garage. Been looking like rain for most of the day, but the sun is even popping out now. Just as I'm pulling out of the car wash drying section it starts raining, a friggen sun shower! Just more of my wonderful luck all weekend.
