The Thread Formerly Known as The Rant!!

Poor Mini-B., poor wee man.

He awoke yet again about an hour ago and came looking for one of us. We (Daddy) got into bed with him. When he fell asleep, we managed to get up. A little later, he starts crying for either of us. The look of pure terror and grief on his little face was indescribable -- as though we'd died and he was permanently alone.

We're stumped, sigh man.

(Ironically, this morning, the first thing that he did was lecture us: "Daddy, I saw you get up. You need to STAY IN BED and sleep by yourself. No kiss for you.")

How do we get him to understand that even if he can't see us, we're HERE and are always checking on him? He might be old enough to understand that, if we can find a way to explain it to him.

Poor wee man.

Oh yeah I remember your fan motor dying. And you thought you can't buy one on the internet.

How did you guys figure it was the fan motor anyway?

I wonder if that would cause the circuit board fuse to blow.....

You take the grate off and get a long screw driver and see if you can spin the fan. If it doesn't budge the motor seized up.

Poor wee man.

Heck the Tornado would do that even if she was still in our bed. If I got up and she still has daddy she will come out screaming at me that I need to stay in bed.

I don't know how you tell them that it's ok, I think it's just something that happens over time.

Good, we had a bad breaker outside a few years ago and it took days to figure out and 3 techs that was not a fun bill as they replaced a few things. Each time they said that was the problem!

Oh not fun!!

I don't think it is!

[Darnell 8,478]

I don't think it is!

Alas, a contactor usually works for a polling agency.. Eyeballs need big fontsizes? aiyo.

Ah yes I see, but this contactor is for wiring

1. Heck the Tornado would do that even if she was still in our bed. If I got up and she still has daddy she will come out screaming at me that I need to stay in bed.

2. I don't know how you tell them that it's ok, I think it's just something that happens over time.

1. Mini-B. is satisfied if just one of us is there, wee man.

2. Sigh, man.

1. found my problem......

2. Bad wires by the contactor, and I'm going to replace the contactor while I'm at it.

Many. problem is......I have to be at court today........

1. You looked in the mirror, self-see man?

2. Fire the contactor and rip up the contact, be done with it man!

Many. We'll smuggle you a cake with a file baked into it, jailbird man.

What are you convicted of, huh man?

Is consorting with you evidence of moral turpitude, huh man?

Spit it out ("oot" if in Canada), expectorate man.

Half-Hump Day report, half-humped man:

Mini-B., and therefore Mrs. T-B. & we, had another bad night, truncated zzz man.

Finished bottle of estate-sale mouthwarsh, gone man.

Got quite a bargain in it, whee man.

Highly irritating inbound commute, construction accident turtles turtles turtles man.

Steady orders for POTS, si man.

Badly need nap, need zzz man.

Rant, grrr man:

Posted speed limit on Many-lane (2+2) highway is Many mph, see man.

We are driving at the speed of at least the posted Many mph, driven man.

Vehicle just ahead is driving only Many mph, turtle man.

Vehicle ahead of him is driving Many-1 mph, bigger turtle man.

Vehicle just ahead decides to pass vehicle ahead of him, 2 turtles man.

However, vehicle just ahead continues at Many mph and never speeds up, no man.

What then is the point of trying to pass and of clogging the fast lane, huh man?

[Ontarkie 14,304]

I hate when ppl do that! I don't like speeding and that seems to be a must around here, so I let the Hillbilly drive and I complain

[TBoneTX 45,580]

Sad rant, see man:

Where is Niki-B., huh Niki-B. ma'am?

Where is Nola-Bone, hungry baby ma'am?

Where is absent, ABSENT Asia, oj huh?

Where is Tooth Many, missed ma'am?

Where is Part Many, missed ma'am?

Where is everybody else, huh man?

You are like Mrs. T-B. in that complainant-type way, sigh D ma'am. We tell her that Many mph (for example, 2x2x2x2x2x2 mph) is the speed at which we go through a car-warsh, si man.

And did someone run out of +1 inventory? Bad Ontarklar!

[TBoneTX 45,580]

Must focus on sales of POTSs, ciao for now man.

Afternoon/evenin', Commie- and other babes with unallocated +1 inventories!
