GEEZ. how much longer are you there? i agree with coaxial. you need a discount after all you've put up with (the non-clean space originally, the smoke detector noise for days, now this...) i'd not feel safe, either.
Turns out it was the daughterâs ex-husband leaving all her stuff in our area (not blocking us). OK, fine. Weâre in no danger.
That was last night. Now itâs 11p. Itâs still there. And here come the thunderstormsâ¦.
Now, right next to this are some short stairs that leads to a covered back porch where this could fit. We could probably move it up there but 1) no one asked us to and itâs not our stuff and 2) we really are kinda busy doing other things like visiting our kid and our grandkid. Daughter in law has some finals coming up so we came to take the pressure off her, and see our fantastically cute 3 yo grandson who totally digs me.
Today I made a dancing rainbow out of pipe cleaners and played âSheâs a Rainbowâ and it rested during the piano parts but danced around during the singing. I got many requests to do that again. Lunchtime strawberries produced âStrawberry Fieldsâ as a soundtrack. And, when he started chanting LETâS GO LETâS GO when we were stuck in traffic, it turns out he loves âJuniorâs Farmâ just like I do. âLetâs GO letâs GO! Down to juniorâs farmâ¦â (The Cars âLetâs Goâ wasnât as big a hit. Shouldâve played himthe New Cars version.)
Weâre hanging at an AirBnb in Pittsburgh ATM. We had to listen to the quiet chirp of a low battery smoke detector for 4 days until the owner gave me the garage code so I could find it. She didnât even know it was there. It was so old it didnât have replaceable batteries. Couldnât get it to stop, so I ripped the speaker out of it. Whew. Finally some quiet.
Then, last night we went out to dinner for about an hour and come home to find a pickup in the driveway and a car parked in front. Hmm. I circle the block and as we return they take off like bats out of hell. In the driveway adjacent to the garage door is a huge pile of stuff. Not thrown there, but set. But there are trash bags, bedding, and pictures/mirrors (not damaged). Itâs purposeful. And I can hear the chirp of a low battery smoke detector in the pile.
So I contact the landlady and she phones. Has no idea whatâs up. Now Iâm worried about our safety. Then she remembers her daughterâs going through a divorce⦠She calls me back later and says that the soon-to-be-ex-husband has dumped her stuff off.
And, today, it looks like rain in the next few hoursâ¦

Just the kind of drama your vacation needs...Maybe talk to her seriously about a rent reduction for all the crap y'all put up with.

and so she's saying to the girl in white "ok, so here's a picture of me buying the sprite..."
hmmm.
well, guy and one girl are wearing same shirt in both pics. so...maybe girl in red and girl in white are twins, and the guy and girl blue (same shirts in both pics) both only get along with the twin in white?

The recent study, which looked at four common brewing techniques, found that instant coffee appears to produce the least amount of emissions when the recommended amounts of water and coffee are used. This is in part because there is typically a small amount of instant coffee used per cup and...
boiling water in a kettle tends to use less electricity compared to a traditional coffee maker...
Held in thousands of locations across the length and breadth of the Japanese archipelago, traditional festivals, known as matsuri, perhaps best exemplify a more paradoxical side of Japan: known for their reserve and shyness, the Japanese take on a quite different demeanour when they participate in a matsuri. With shouting, showing off and often quite inebriated participants, matsuri are joyous events that shatter the stereotype of âtypical Japaneseâ behaviour.
In Japan, the largest festivals involve the participation of thousands of people, with tens of thousands more watching from the sidelines. These festivals often require entire sections of the city to be closed down and are broadcast on national television to an audience of millions. By contrast, smaller festivals are held primarily for the benefit of local populations, with perhaps 150 to 200 people in attendance, and are barely publicised. Outside of their immediate region, these festivals may be virtually unknown.
Every festival, whether large or small, well-known or obscure, has its own characteristics. One particularly noteworthy kind of festival is the hadaka matsuri, or ânaked festivalâ, a type of Shinto event in which participants typically wear just a Japanese loincloth called a fundoshi. The hadaka matsuri is a purification ritual designed to drive away bad luck, evil spirits and calamities. Because nakedness is considered the purest form â the closest state a person can be to birth â it is necessary for a ritual purification ceremony.
Art Bell used to speak of a "quickening". I always considered those that threaten to move chicken little narcissist. I mean I know we are going down, just did not think in my lifetime. I see it as an Officer and A Gentleman type of thing though.
Work now has a new type of leave in the system, "Pressing necessity (Act of Nature)" and I think it must be for things like the nature breaks the cyclists take on the Tour de France, but do we really need to document them?
That is very worrying. An overwhelming & forceful response should be developed and deployed. Every nuclear power plant already has protected air space.
