Makes me wish for the day our mom goes just so I can kick my sis out of my life for good.
I have done exactly this and I can assure you it is absolutely glorious.
Wife has flu A. I am borderline sick myself. We are supposed to have a oyster roast new years eve. That's not happening.
Between illness and being so busy at work this holiday season hasn't felt very holiday like.
Holy hell. No. Just no. Not again, please. I was sick for almost three weeks from Thanksgiving forward, then again for a week solid over what short little Christmas break I took. And now we're heading into a three-day weekend with my nose packing up like it's going on a trip, my throat hurting like a son of a gun, and my lymph nodes swelling up like ripe grapefruit.
I take my vitamins. I wash my hands. I drink tons of water. I don't sing in groups or lick doorknobs or eat off the floor. I pay my taxes and I'm kind to animals. Why in the name of your god or mine is this happening to me?
Did everyone get their sick for Christmas? Because the entire family is sick in my house. Horking lung chunks.
I need to teach by the hellspawn to stop licking shopping carts.
I don't know what your deal is. You're on a motorcycle doing 45 mph in the fast lane right next to someone driving basically the same speed in the slow lane. Everyone else is doing 75 mph. I flashed my lights because I thought it would be more courteous than honking my horn. You flipped me the bird in answer so I got into the slow lane to go around you. In your infinite wisdom you thought it would be a good idea to try to cut me off in my 6000lb truck. Clearly you shouldn't be on the road. You're really lucky that you didn't get run over.

Yes, our's arrived a few days before, I got it from PW.
No idea what she's been licking
In reply to Toyman! :
I feel for her. Hope she feels better soon. This round of the flu has really taken the wind out of my sails.
Our NYE plans are also canceled. Even if I felt better, I shouldn't be up til midnight. Going to take weeks of recovery after this one.
In reply to Appleseed :
Yes. Everyone is either sick or affected by close family who is sick. It's a wild time.
And good luck avoiding it. Especially with kids. I know people who are strict maskers, avoid social interaction, constantly wash hands and I know people who are the opposite of that. It doesn't seem to make much difference which is scary.

Hope everyone feels better soon. I've managed to avoid getting sick this season due to a combination of being a germaphobe who masks up, and my generally misanthropic tendencies.
I just hurt my back pushing down the lever on the toaster.

I agree.
You know it's bad when my wife gets upset at another driver.
Gah, FB Marketplace sellers.
Advertise the vehicle and then not even bother to look at FB messenger. Let's see if I'm hearing back from the seller of that CRX this year...
OTOH, being a good corporate bunny I apparently made sure that I'm mildly sick during my vacation time so I probably should go anywhere anyway if the drive to the supermarket in town yesterday was anything to go by.
People have been setting off fireworks since Wednesday. Someone just set off something large as the boom rattled the windows and startled both the cats.
Yay Tashco, I mean Pasco county!
I seriously cannot wait to get the berk out of this E36 M3hole state.
I posted this in Nick's train thread, but...
Ever see someone almost killed dancing with a train? I did. Metra, our commuter rail outfit makes a stop in front of us. The hellspawn is excited, as we are first in line at the gates and have a clear view. The pedestrian gates, to stop people from crossing the double lines, are also down.
After a short while, the engineers sounds the horns. This train is about to roll.
Then I see them. Two idiot teenagers rushing to make the train. Nope. That thing isn't letting you on. I expected to see two dejected teens on the other side once the rails had cleared
Oh, hell, they're going for it! Duck under the gate. THAT TRAIN IS MOVING! Kid one halls ass, so does kid two-But SHE TRIPS! Bounced, then scrambled off the rails on all fours. Missed her by less than five feet.
When I drove by, I rolled down the window and asked, "Well...was it worth it?"
In reply to Appleseed :
That just brought me back to an acquaintance - a coworker with whom I was friendly enough, we worked together for at least 7 years - who was killed by a Metra train. He was sitting on the platform, like his legs were hanging over the track and his butt was on the yellow grid telling you to stay back. He was on his way from his 2nd job to his 3rd, no benches available. Sat down, earphones in, hoody up. He fell asleep, didn't hear the horn. I hadn't thought about him in years.
In reply to stanger_mussle (Supported by GRM undergarments) :
They've now served as a cockblock for me 3 times this week. First by keeping the kid awake, right when she was about to go to sleep. Then the dog went berserk when somebody did a 10 minute exhibition - that one was in the blotter, they got a hefty fine for that one - and then somebody apparently got a few sticks of dynamite that sent my wife into a ptsd panic attack.
It's not even New Year's Eve yet.
Went to the beer store for weekend beer. Two young-20ish guys were yukking it up over a song on the stores audio system. They didn't know what it was.
You know what this is they asked.
George Thorogood, One Bourbon, One Shot, One Beer I replied.
They rolled their eyes as if amazed.
And at that moment I felt old.
Not a single family member seems to understand that a "career" job featuring overnight/weekend shift means that I have to...........work nights and weekends.
Goddamn Amazon. You got your start selling books. Why is your book catalog the most unintuitive, frustratingly over complicated thing on the planet?
I thought using my pc would be easier than scrolling on the kindle. I don't know what I'm after, I just want to browse. But much like YouTube, you insist on showing me the same handful of books under 100 different headings and filters.
No wonder I keep going back to the same handful, trying to sort through new it's just a massive pain.
I feel like this isn't the first time I've ranted about this either.
In reply to fasted58 :
Profound lyrics in his other drinking song.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
In reply to Appleseed :
Man, we've obviously just got to stop licking the eyeballs of everyone we meet.
Kicked off the Xmas shutdown with chills and everything leaving my body, including almost all of my will to live, by whatever was the most convenient exit. This was followed by several days of weakness and every past orthopedic injury deciding to turn the inflammation up to 11.
Only now getting around to feeling capable of much of anything.

I don't typically have problems like that but lately it's become so rampant I'm surprised if I get an answer now.
An then there are the people who see your message and still don't reply. My response now is something like, I see you've had it for sale for 10 weeks, now I know why.
In reply to RevRico :
I have better luck googling a topic for books, then just putting the title into Amazon. Browsing there is terrible
