I've always been frugal (my wife, not so much, but that's okay) but I currently don't have a safety net of around twenty to thirty thousand dollars (after the fed is done the state will chase me).

Boo boo kitty Fuck this is nonsense.This isn't chump change, so yeah.. I might have to go to court.

:x - was sleeping pretty well until I get several taps on me by my mom to awake up and come help her open the garage door(to note we've had issues with the stupid thing before but mostly due to weird battery issues or something like it going up part of the way stopping and blinking and been able to open it manually no problem). It failed miserably and apparently the steel wire or whatever it is they used to help it come up and down is now snapped....just my luck so me and my mom have to share cars until we can somehow get the door open...


Only thing to make this better is my mystery box from mjmjr is almost here...I feel it

:( Out of ten beautiful and healthy German Shepherd puppies, only four remain. One of my favorite (the runt of course) was one of the last to die. I really wish they had listened to us.

:( My favorite mantis had a mismoult sometime last night. I knew it was abound to happen, but it's really sad to see. He had EXTREMELY long antennae for his species and it made me extra cute. Looks like it was also his undoing though, as they got caught in his old skin while moulting.

:( We've been without hotwater for the last few days.

:) Finally got the hot water turned back on this morning.

:D All of Nintendo's announcements.

:(

At work, apparently there's a problem with the AC. But only in my part of the building. It's been tolerable, it's about room temperature anyway. But it's been rainy the past month, and some days have been really humid.

Also, the warehouse really sucks. It seems fine if you walk in there for a minute. But this past week, by the time I get done putting orders together I'm sweating and overheating. That prompts me to guzzle down a bottle of water. But here's the funny part. I leave about and hour and a half after that, and it always hits me during my 45 minute ride home. Stop and go traffic and having to pee real bad is one of the worst things.

Hopefully the AC guy comes and fixes whatever the problem is before it starts to get really hot out.

edit: The kind of work I'm doing in the warehouse, I'm use to doing that kind of thing in a box that's maintained at about 34 degrees. So this is just no bueno for me!

Save the water bottle when you're finished drinking from it.

Heheh, there was actually one day on my way home that was SO bad I was considering it. Thing is, it's not a disposable water bottle. It's the one that I use every day. And if I peed in it, well, that would be the end of that bottle. No amount of washing would allow me to ever drink from it again.

Or you know, force yourself to use the bathroom before you leave work....I learned that lesson awhile back since now I drink a ton of water at work(even back when I was bagger/cashier and even now that I'm a stocker).....cold water when working like this begins to taste really really good...

That's just it though. I'll try and go before I leave. I'll make it the last thing I do before walking out the door. But it's just the volume of water I take in and the amount of time I have before I leave. It's just not ready to come out yet. It will hit me while I'm driving, without fail.

If they would just fix the AC, I would only drink a NORMAL amount of water, and then I would have to pee on my ride home.

This is hard stuff to digest, and I've never even seen the litter. So very sorry for your losses. That's Kleenex sad stuff.

NEIN!

I tried pissing in a bottle once while driving and learned the following:

My tip won't fit in a bottle.

It's a lot more difficult than you think to piss and drive.

When I did finally find a way to get my dick near the bottle, the air pressure built up and piss squirted out of the bottle.

Pull over, piss, done.

Smile: Found my perfect suit. I make Dave Beckham look like a 9 in this thing.

Frown: I can't justify paying 4k for a suit.

Smile: That means I get to do more suit shopping.

Frown: But I'll have to look for separates (that means I can't buy a full suit and will have to look for a jacket, and then pants that match. My shoulder size usually goes with a 36" waist, and I'm a 29" waist, maybe a tad smaller)

tmi:
Huge Smile: Why wife's stuff (with medicine) works so starting a family IS possible. Zip a dee do dah!

Frown: The procedure causes bleeding and pain, so no sex time for maybe a week.

Smile: That doesn't mean sexy time won't be happening. The the highway to bj city is fine by me.
