I hadn't heard this particular slang before and thought it was an old timey phrase for some sort of common rooster decoration like you'd find in a barnhouse kitchen and GIS'd it. I don't recommend you do the same.

I told my wife she can decorate however she wants as long as there are no “words on walls”. We have one sign by the entrance that has our last name and was a home made wedding gift. I just remembered the “drop pants here” sign in the laundry room. Oh and I just remembered the “good moms have messy kitchens” sign in the kitchen. I think I lost.

Yep, you need to balance that out with that "Live. Laugh. POOP." sign.

My wife bought a little quote sign and snuck it in the kitchen on me when I wasn't home.

It says "No woman has ever shot a man while he was doing the dishes" :v:

She sounds fun, though I'm sure there's a reason the word "ex" is in there.

That may change soon. Someone gets upset about me using straight hot water to do dishes.

Hot water gets poo poo off the dishes a lot faster. I have calluses from Mars on my hands because of physical work (also years of washing dishes). Stop worrying about the 50 cents on the electric bill from doing dishes, and maybe start turning off the 400+ watts of bathroom lights that you refuse to swap for LEDs. Or if you're so worried about how much we pay to run our electric water heater, maybe take a 5 minute shower instead of 20.

Oh I do. :v: "well YOU take long showers!" I managed to hop in the shower, take a complete shower (including hair wash and conditioner) before she could finish talking (less than 5 minutes). I jumped out and just stood there staring at her, dripping from the shower, until she finished. She finally realized I managed to not only shower, but almost completely air dry, when she finished bitching. To quote Fluffy: "the look on her face.... PRICELESS!"

We conceived a way to use my mother as a porn mule


My ex put up a 'House rules' type print with a list of 'live, laugh, love' type poo poo. The last rule was 'break the rules once in a while'. I crossed it out with sharpie and wrote 'don't be a cheating whore'.

On the home server - the new second hand CPUs arrived and yay! They work first time! Took time to clean out the fans and channels too. Now for the SAS controller to arrive from overseas and I can start migrating stuff properly.

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

Carried on tidying last night, got the bureau and craft drawers straightened out and the laptop can now be used at a desk for the first time ever (we've been in this house 4 years) mountain-o-shoes/hats/bags needs a new solution, I made a cabinet to go in the space under the stairs a couple of years ago but it's not using all the space effectively. I need to rip out the stupid shallow cabinets at the back and make some proper deep built ins. Also the recliner that just gets used as a place to dump bags needs to go.

Anyway now I can use the laptop properly I'll draw up the cabin and try to get a thread started in DIY.

TDI continues to press on with 323k as expected. Only issue now is I'm losing coolant somewhere, it's very slow but I've topped off the overflow twice in ~6 months. That and the drat thing eats headlights which leads to the headlight connectors now starting to fall apart. Put new rear pads on one side tonight as the drivers rear seems to eat pads compared to the other three corners. It's probably not sliding smoothly and dragging pad but whatever.

This isn't something realtors throw on the wall to make a house look "lived-in" while it slowly decays, unsold for over a year, because the bank/seller refuses to reduce the price by a single dollar?

Cracks me up Scion got rid of that body style so quick in and effort to “refresh model quickly”. When the bloated one got here and was a flop, THAT was the one they kept around? Good job Scion.

I also read that Scion expected the xA to outsell the xB when they started but instead it was the other way around with the xB outselling the xA 2:1. And then they butchered it after 2 years. lol

The 2nd gen xB is a good car tho? I like the first gen too but those were gutless, the 2nd gen has the 2.4 which is a much better motor imo.

I'm on my second "bloated" xB because the first one saved my life, not sure a first gen would have done that either.

I'm the gardener of the family and take care of the grounds keeping around our house. After my accident I wasn't able to do poo poo so things started getting out of control (summer rainy season in Florida), just the other day we started pulling weeds and still haven't finished it's a mess. Thankfully my neighbor owns a lawn care business and took pity on me and did all the trimming and edging after my son mowed because he's still too little to run the trimmer and edger. I love my plants and trees but drat it's a job taking care of that poo poo.

I actually enjoy it besides the fact that doing it in the heat of the Florida summer makes it not fun, also having a bad back and now accident injuries on top of that doesn't go well with landscaping lol. I've pretty much come to the realization that I'm probably going to have to pay someone to do it now :(
