The third season of House of Cards is finally released on Netflix, but I have to do my extremely easy and cushy side job of test-watching and reporting on issues for a DVD boxed set of a pretty cool Roger Moore show first.

I broke the lid of my toilet tank (tank itself is fine) while cleaning the bathroom, and it's going to take 7-10 days for the replacement to arrive.

Bertrand Hustle posted:Anime Boston is coming next month and I am dreading my daily commute suddenly filling up with smelly weeaboos. I used to work on a national touring theater show and one week our show was booked in the same hotel as Anime Boston. Holy poo poo it was the worst week ever. I'm not going to even disparage the lovely costumes or even the body odor. It was the noise and the incredibly strange, inappropriate behavior that all of these kids were engaging in. Saw two of them dry humping in the elevator and calling each other Goku or some poo poo; a few of them were running down the hallway of my floor shouting some Japanese and having a plastic sword fight; a table full of them at the sandwich shop across the street asking if they can get rice or sushi (it was a loving sandwich shop, Jesus Christ); and the worst was just a loving gaggle of them "fighting" each other in the lobby while a circle of unwashed creepers forms around them. Ugh.

I want to play Dragon Age: Inquisition, but my husband is playing Bloodbourne and we only have 1 PS4.  Edit: I also think I made the wrong decision for which character to romance in Dragon Age.

I’m in Louisiana for work, and everyone here HAS to talk to you. Waiting for the elevator next a random person? A comment about the weather. Grabbing a drink at the vending machine? A comment about soda. It’s all friendly small talk, but I hate other people. Sometimes I just want to get a coffee and not have 5 people talk at me.  It’s me, I’m the misanthrope.

Agreed. I work as a touring roadie and I thought I had more time off between tours, but I landed another job that starts in 4 weeks and lasts for 10 months. Having to pack for warm weather, cold weather, and everything in between sucks.

I’m trying to register for my local grocery store’s app in order to get coupons, but it’s not recognizing my last name and bonus club member number (from the back of their bonus club card). I just want coupons for cereal and yogurt

Cowslips Warren posted:So my tat artist put this SecondSkin stuff on my tattoos, and now the colorful little pokemon are all black from what I hope is leaking ink, but I don't want the poo poo to stain the actual tat, and of course I can't get a hold of the dude. Second Skin is pretty good. I’ve had good luck with it on my tattoos. The black stuff is just leaking ink, it won’t harm the tattoos. Just leave that on for a few days and when it starts to peel, remove it. It’s easiest to do it in the shower.

My husband and I finally got dental insurance and I've been trying to schedule a dentist appointment with an oral surgeon for him, so he can finally get his wisdom teeth removed. Our regular dentist, that happily takes our insurance, gave us three places for oral surgery as referrals. The first doesn't take our insurance. The second is closed down, since the doctor retired. The third is a pediatric-only dentistry. So I go to the insurance provider's website and search for oral surgeons in our area that accept our insurance and find a measly five options. The first two are actually just regular dental offices and do not do wisdom teeth removal; the third doesn't have appointments available until 2019; the fourth and fifth don't actually take the insurance anymore! And on top of it, a few of the receptionists on the phone were super rude saying poo poo like "No we don't take that insurance anymore" and hanging up on me. What the gently caress?  Edit: Also gently caress meniscus tears, my knee is loving killing me and no one believes it can hurt that badly since I can still walk around.

Trying to explain to my husband that yes, he’s making more with his new job, which means more money will be taken out in taxes. And no, there is no way to (legally) change his W4 filing status to get more money.

Sentient Data posted:You can change your withholdings at any time, and the irs encourages you to do it to get as close to a $0 tax bill/refund as possible Yeah, we’ve done that. He’s basically pissed off that he had to pay social security and other income taxes. Before getting this job he did a lot of gig work (he’s an audio engineer), so a lot of cash under the table. He’s just not used to having income taxes taken out of a check. And he thinks he can claim like additional dependents or something to reduce the amount deducted.

I went to college with Winston Duke and worked on plays with him, and we were casual friends. Now it’s too weird for me to see “Us” or “Black Panther.”

MisterBibs posted:The drawstring on my favorite part of pajama pants is pulled out of one of the holes, and I can't get it back in. So I've got a pair of comfy sleeping pants that I can't cinch tight, and the drawstring hangs down between my legs. Pin a safety pin to the end and you can re-insert it.

Bees on Wheat posted:I just noticed a small rip in the side of the Dr Martens boots I bought two years ago and wear several times a week for 8+ hours at a time Find a shoe repair place in town. Doc Martins repair really well and it’ll be cheaper than replacing the boots. Most repair shops can fix them in 2 days or less. They can probably be patched on the inside with a small seam on the exterior that’s hardly noticeable.

Butt Detective posted:My hair looks better when I don't brush it (when it's not brushed it's super wavy and curly, when brushed it just goes bushy and I look like a spaniel) but I don't like how it feels when my hair isn't brushed Try using a wide tooth comb. You’ll get the feeling of brushing your hair, but it’s not as bushy as a brush.
