When I let the dog out, I HAVE TO dump water on the lawn where she pees or the lawn dies there.

Patching a lawn is a big pain in the ass.

When you say try, it means you're not really gonna do it.

Unless you try to not do it

Unless you try to not do it

Exactly!

It used to be that my singing voice would get raspier as the evening wore on but now it's raspy when I get up in the morning.

I've never been a smoker or anything but my range is not nearly what it used to be

Why do people throw away toilet paper rolls with several good wipes worth of TP left on them? Talk about abject, senseless waste!

 

[ctmullins]

Dunno. Maybe you could sing at them.

I smoked for years, but my voice got raspy years after I quit.

When I was a kid, someone called the ball inside spray paint cans an "alligator ball". I know it's an "agitator" ball, but alligator ball always stuck with me. You're welcome

I have about a 25% success rate of getting the shift key to work when holding it down to make a capital letter out of a lowercase one. Sometimes, even twice or thrice in a row.

Doesn't matter if it's a Mac, PC, old, brand new, public or private.

I have to stop my pace, literally hold the shift by itself, then press the letter, which takes about 2.7 seconds.

That's all well and good, which leads me to my second set of stats...

I do have about a 91% rate of getting the shift key to transform the lowercase letter into a cap on the first attempt, but that's only when I've typed the wrong letter!

I get a kick out of folks who penetrate their finger through an unopened bag of grapes for a sample, like it, set it down, then grab another one to purchase instead, leaving the punctured one with their aura all over it for someone else to consume.

Aside from the above, a single vine can produce on average, up to 12#s of grapes...do they think both bags will automatically be from the same vine or taste exactly the same?

Bought a new car. First one ever. I feel almost normal.

And yeah, it's really nice!

Is yours leaking?

This is a totally common and bizarre phenomenon. Countless people, my ex-wife included, will open a package at a store to verify that it's what they want, put it down and get an unopened one because they don't want to buy an opened package. I'd love a rational explanation of this.....

 

[ctmullins]

I'd love a rational explanation of this.....

It might be that they don't want to get called out at the register for having opened it before purchase.

With all due respect sir, that's not it. Thank you, may I have another?!?!?!

We have two girl dogs, who combined with gophers, drought, and sheer bloody-mindedness meant that I abandoned having a lawn altogether. When we rebuild/re-landscape I'll put in a section of pet friendly artificial turf for them. No more lawns for me.

 

[ctmullins]

I used to have lawn. Now I have puppies. The two cannot coexist.




(Honestly, I prefer the puppies!)

I'm thinking of going to Dublin to get a cuppa bacon infused coffee for my duck-billed platypus. Rumblekat!
