I've been missing out!  I was the nearby Tim's one afternoon with the kid and we had to wait for a table as it seems there's a huge group of retirees that hit there at 2:00PM every day.  The kid said to me:  "Gawd-damn I hope you never reach the point where the most exciting thing in your life is going to Timmies in the afternoon."  I hope she's right about that.

...that water tried to kill me this morning.  Just as I faced the taps to turn off the shower (fully clothed, of course, for your imaginary pleasure), one errant drop of water seemed to hit the opening in my esophagus just right...and I lost all ability to breath in...or breath out.  So I'm standing there in a panic, gasping like hell to grab some air, and trying like hell to cough whatever the fack went in, out.  Wife comes running downstairs with...more water...drink this! Hey, it just tried to kill me, and now you want me to wash almost died down with more water?  Tomorrow I'm putting tape over my mouth.  >:( Fack you water.

a friends mom died last week, so the visitation was tuesday and funeral yesterday (f cancer by the way)... some friends were in town, so i was going to try to make it out for lunch with them after the funeral... as much as i'm there for support, i hate funerals and the friends know this... ii'm 50/50 for going, then i get a frantic call at work that my grandmother has fallen and needs an ambulance.. so i end up having the spend the day with either gran or gramps in the hospital or at their place...

gram is going to be ok, nothing broken just bruising and a head smack, but seems ok and will be released today...

...but the worst part is my friends all think i am making it up so that i didn't have to go to the funeral!
i used to be addicted to soap, but i'm clean now

15 minutes before opening doesn't sound that bad for me. I'd be very surprised if that's good enough here. I might inquire out of curiosity [emoji14]


At the Hunt Club location they were saying that they have 15 walk in spots first thing in the morning. Starting at 6:30.

The 401 eastbound is going by my house, getting out of the driveway will be a PITA.

Sadly it's because there was a pileup and someone got out of their car and was then struck and killed.

Traps?

laid down the mouse traps where they pass, but since they can leap over all of them i don't have high hopes.
these  fackers came last night as well.    i'm gonna have to resort to lethal measures.

Do you have cat bylaws?  Places that don't allow roaming cats have way more rodent and pest issues.  Thank gawd my burb still allows roaming cats.  We have minimal mouse, squirrel, etc issues.  When our own cat got too old, we were happy to see new ones moving into the neighbourhood.

You can mod a rat trap to become a lethal squirrel trap if you had to resort to that.

ARA San Juan. Argentine sub lost without communication in rough seas. Still not found despite massive search.

Prayers for the brave bubbleheads.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Submariner is a job I'd never be able to do.  I went caving, didn't like that.  I like big spaces.  I'd rather have a 1000M of air under my boots clinging to a cliff face than crawl around a small space.

I have received 2 emails yesterday.   Is your car still for sale.  I respond yes.  No reply back.  WTF?
