I got one of those “timer” air fresheners today. Put if up on a shelf. Smells real nice but every time it goes off it scares the crap out of me. (Good thing it smells like fresh linen)

The chemicals in that thing are going to kill you, but not before they make you real sick.

Happy Thursday.

There’s one of those in the bathroom at work. It’s about 8 feet high on a side wall, right above the urinals. When it goes off, it might as well be in your ear. Plus, how humiliating. You mean to tell me that the bathroom didn’t smell bad enough for you to spray, but as soon as I walk in.... I tell myself it’s reactive instead of timed, just so I can be mad at it ?

I have a two complaint Thursday.  We are ripping the stucco off our house because it was incorrectly installed, failed, and is now leaking water into our house.  The house is 14 years old. The statute of limitations on suing the builder is 12 years.

They literally used roofing material as the backing membrane.  The stucco contractor I have ripping it off said he has never seen anything like that in his life.

Fortunately I don't have too much stucco and it didn't do too much damage. 8k.  But there is an epidemic of stucco problems in this area from shoddy construction.

FWIW, we are not putting stucco back on the house. Siding for that part.  It's too cold and wet here for that material to ever work right.  Arizona?  Sure.  Pennsylvania? Nope.

That's terrible.

I eagerly await your second complaint.

We had to put down our older dog on Tuesday, we got her four months after we got married so she was a big part of our lives. She was also the first dog I ever owned, as my parents didn’t want one as I was growing up. 

What makes it worse is for the past two mornings our puppy has ran over to the area she used to sleep and whimpered.

Sorry to read that. 

 I am going through something very similar… I have a 13 Yr, 5 month old English Bulldog. He has advanced congestive heart failure. We have decided to put him down Saturday. We’ve been pumping him with drugs to keep him going. It’s just bought us time with him. Which I’m grateful for. But now, even the drugs are losing the fight. It’s time ... ?

Work complaints today.

I have a big presentation tomorrow morning, for which I am relying on a few other colleagues to provide some input information that I have been asking for the last two weeks. It is now <18hrs until the presentation and they still haven't provided anything. This means I get to spend nearly all of those hours pulling this together. ?

The inputs they needed to give me weren't even that ####### hard to do, they just procrastinated the ***** out of this. The worst part is sitting here doing nothing knowing that the second I get their files it's armageddon for me.

Having just gone through that on Labor Day weekend,  my heart goes out to you guys.  We still come home expecting to see him at the door,  still watch where we walk when we get up at 4:30 so we don’t trip over him in the dark.

I’m so sorry that you guys have lost those special friends. It’s a hard thing.

 

I lost my Dad three years ago today. He was one of those larger than life types. Quick with wit and loved by everyone he ever met. He was a hard nose tough parent. He dragged himself up and expected us to do the same. I hated him in my teen years but he was right. That is the best path to take.

He went into the hospital after my mother had been there for a week. She was going into ICU to have her colon removed as he was being moved from ICU to a regular room. They saw each other for a bit before she went in. “There’s my beautiful baby!” was his greeting for her. He passed away the next morning broken hearted that his “beautiful baby” didn’t have much time left herself. 

I miss you, man. You were da bomb....and now you are the light. God bless you, Dad.

It’s amazing how quickly they become part of your family.

And now I remember why I hate entering this thread.  Sympathy goes out to all of you that have recently lost/ will lose a pet.  Just this night walking in the door, called out to the dog we put down this spring that we're sorry we're late home, we' ll have your dinner shortly.  Ooops.  (It's still weird to be able to stretch out on the couch because he always hogged 1/2 of it.)

And thoughts & prayers go out to you Ogre on the anniversary of losing your parents.

Bluetooth speakers. I don’t speak Robot. Why do I have to interpret chords or arpeggios or any bleep and bloop to figure out if it is on or off or connected or not?

And since it’s just a wav file anyway, why can’t it be a recording of someone saying “I am now on” and “I am now turning off”? Annoying.

The suv ahead of me on the way to work this morning tossed a cigarette butt out of the window. That aggravates the bajesus out of me. Dude pulls into the gas station a few miles down the road so I roll in as well on the opposite side of the pump...”Dude, what gives you the right to do that? I live on this planet too!” I wait for a reply. None! “Butt it out and throw it in trash like any reasonable person does!” Still no reply.

 I reeaaalllly wanted a rebuttal so I could suggest we go back and find it and have have him pick that ***** up with his teeth.

***** asshat.

I got the most infuriating good news yesterday.

 

A friend of mine was diagnosed with stage 4 of a rare form of ovarian cancer around early Spring this year. It had been 9 years since she'd been to a gyno, and ovarian cancer is "the whisper killer" since it's hard to detect, and she went through utter hell. 6 months of chemo. All the hell associated- her children, loved ones- all preparing for what we assumed was the inevitable. 

She finished chemo October 2nd, and 2 days later had an appointment with the leading specialist in this type of cancer in the US/world in Houston. He sits her down and calmly explains that... U of R had misread her biopsies. Multiple times. 

She never actually had cancer. She had benign growths. They can become cancerous- she will be seeing this doctor every 6 months to ensure they're not becoming serous- but they never were. At no point did she actually need to go through the chemo. The fear. The absolute utter hell that has torn her world apart. 

 

I just have no words. Second opinions. I guess I'll never let my anxiety get in the way of asking for one.
