We are still hawking loogies and blowing snot like an illegitimate male child, clear out Ecu pollution/perfume allergy man.

And no nap this eve, no zzz for we man.

Had to gas the Mrs.-T-B.-mobile on an emergency basis, such emergencies routine man.

 

Whenever we ask Mrs. T-B. how much gas she has, she gets a blank ADD look and says, "Half," ADD she man.

This until the panicked "I'm almost out of gas; can you put some in?" comment, sigh man.

We are tempted to say, "Eat more beans," gas yourself up man.

My AKL flatmate passed away yesterday. Four days short of being shoveled into a care home she wanted nothing to do with. 

She was not a person for whom life was ever easy.

Neither of us were people who put any stock at all in the great hereafter, but I'd like to think that she is somewhere cozy, with enough to eat, and endless cups of tea, a comfortable chair by a fire, with plenty of books to read.

Im sorry for your loss. To me that sounds like a wonderful hereafter.

We will see what the outcome is. Last time I worked on someone that got a ROSC (a coworker), he was basically brain dead. Survival to discharge with good brain function is exceedingly rare.

I connect a camera and it knocks everything else off line. Try to reconnect them, and the kids won't leave me alone. It's impossible to get anything done with these 2. Daddy this, daddy that...

In a conversion with my idiot wife earlier. 

She still thinks that we should spend every penny we have, like her ##### idiot friends who have absolutely nothing to their names...

FFS more <sigh> 

She just can't get it through her thick ###### skull...

To clarify, she thinks going on vacation and buying things are more important than saving for her future. Like, not a care in the ###### world. Like her azzhole friends...

 

She thinks when she's 50, it's too late to enjoy life. She thinks she won't be able to walk by then. That's the mentality I'm dealing with. 

 

I'm really, really tired of trying to explain things to her...

Maybe she needs to meet some active people that age?  My cousin is in her 50s and does CrossFit and is totally living her best life.
