Keyrock Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 House chores. Almost the whole nine yards: Taking the trash out, washing pans, vacuuming, washing the windows, cleaning the range top and counter tops, didn't have to wash the floors or clean the tub, but I cleaned the sink, toilet, and mirror. Normally, I'd now reward myself with a beer, but since I'm no a no alcohol kick, and since it's nice outside, I'll go for a walk instead.

Walsingham Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Still processing events from earlier. After a great deal of bluster I calmly said that unless they quit arsing around then I'd make it my business to build a case and hand it over to the police.

Raithe Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Ouch. At least it was recognised and things halted there. Now you can put it past you and move on for fresh horizons... while pondering on which sharp sticks to prepare in case you meet the buggers in a dark alley somewhere... 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Now you can put it past you and move on for fresh horizons... while pondering on which sharp sticks to prepare in case you meet the buggers in a dark alley somewhere... Thanks for the sympathy, man. I often wonder about fraudsters. In some ways I almost think they are worse than simple violent criminals. Violence can occur without empathy. Effective fraud demands it. I just feel drained and sleepy now. Hopefully I'll feel better in the morning. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

LadyCrimson Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hubby is sick and I've been extra-lazy, so tried our local Papa John's pizza delivery for the 1st time.Hubby ate more than one piece, so I guess it's "ok" for fast food chain pizza. Which isn't saying a whole lot, mind. Wish we had stuff like deli delivery for cold sandwiches and salads or something. Not just typical burger/pizza/cheap Chinese or mondo expensive restaurants whose food doesn't deliver well (soggy/weird from container condensation when it arrives). Unplugged the 2560x1440 monitor since all it does is make me want to buy one (or two) LG 27EA83R-D monitors when I have no real need for one outside of "games would look 20-30% sweeter vs. my 1080." ... just can't justify it (right now). Away, temptation, away. Mr. Black has taken up a new habit of sleeping on the floor bath-towel in our tiny bathroom. I have no idea why. Can't stand it because who wants cat hair all over their showered feet, right? Keep shooing him off, but next time I go to the 'loo, there he is. Darn cat! “Things are as they are.

Gfted1 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 @Wals: Sorry to hear that. So you caught it in time or they managed to pinch some loot? Its been beautiful here last two days. In the 50's with cloudless blue skies. Makes the heart swell. Later today were going over my mother in laws so I can "set up" her new laptop. Just the basic stuff; get her connected to her WiFi and printer, move her documents, etc... Its my first experience with Win 8 so Im actually a little excited.

Labadal Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Did some betting yesterday and won $1000. With some good stocks buying/selling and actually winning some bets here and there (won much more than I have played for, I keep tabs so it doesn't get out of hand), I can't complain.

Walsingham Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 @Wals: Sorry to hear that. So you caught it in time or they managed to pinch some loot? Thanks for the sympathy, again. I appreciate it. After sleeping on it I feel pretty satisfied with how it turned out. I struck a good balance between taking risks and being cautious. Didn't lose anything worth speaking of. I wouldn't have predicted feeling so good about it. I guess the best I can say is that I feel clean. Like when you've been working in mud, and you have a good scrub. "It wasn't lies.

Malcador Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Seems a pipe is leaking from one of our bathrooms upstairs, joy. So that is going be to one big hassle to fix and not sure how soon either as I imagine we'll need to cut a part of the ceiling out to access the spot. Why has elegance found so little following?

Woldan Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) I'm having a strange kind of throat ache thats gets slowly and steadily worse, its just a really small spot two centimeters above my epiglottis and it hurts when I press my tongue against my teeth or when I build up pressure when bench pressing heavy weights. I had many throat infections in my life but none like this. Guess its the place right where my tongue is attached to my neck. Time to gargle some strong vodka.

Hurlshort Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I've also had a bad cough for about a week. It has gone through my whole family, but I have a history of asthma so the wheezing was bad enough to send me to the clinic. I figured I needed a new prescription for my inhaler anyways. The clinic I go to is awesome. They are super quick with walk-ins, they charge a reasonable rate, and the service is great. They also seem to have a thing for hiring hot Russian doctors. I've been helped by this older Russian female doctor before, but this time she had a student doctor shadowing her that was also gorgeous. It was hilariously distracting. They also had me fill out a survey and then gave my $5. So I walked out with cash and a few prescriptions for an inhaler and codiene cough syrup. Yay for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVC Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Most expats won't shut up about the situation in their old country. Actually that's what I wanted to say but I thought I would be diplomatic.
