Motherfuckers. Went to let me dog out into the yard earlier and 2 crows started divebombing her. We look around and there is a baby crow sitting behind the garbage cans. It's prolly the same crows that had their baby in our yard last year that my dog got ahold of(didn't hurt it thankfully) and they are not happy. Now I can't let my dog out in the yard till they leave and I can't get near the garbage cans without getting divebombed. And its garbage night, so I will get attacked by crows at some point. Why do these birds have to be so loving smart? I am just glad to be moving out of this house in august so I don't have to deal with these assholes anymore.

Chumming the water with your own blood is a good idea at the NC beaches this year.

crows are loving evil and remember faces. I would have to kill every crow in the area, and there are a poo poo ton of crows in this neighborhood.

We already dumped a bag of chips out in the yard. We can't even open the back door without 3 or 4 crows flying into the yard and making a ton of noise. Last year when this happened they followed us up the street when we walked to the bar for a couple weeks.

Yup, they still remember my dog from last year. Luckily she is not that bright and did not have a clue about what to do with the baby crow when she got it in her mouth. Didn't even hurt it since she was holding it so gently. Crows own Seattle, you don't gently caress with them.

Now take those crows and size them up to 11 and keep their intelligence the same and you have Alaskan ravens. They are pretty cool and all, but do not gently caress with them or they will eat your family.

Jesus H Christ. We hung out with my buddy today and his new girlfriend is loving insufferable. She insists on always holding his hand, even when he's trying to loving drive. She grabbed his hand, causing him to swerve a bit and he side-swiped another car and she insisted they just just off. What a oval office.

Oh and other acts of loving idiocy!

I have a friend doing research for a graphic novel about the WTC bombing that happened in 1993. We were discussing similar projects that have already been published and another guy chimed in "9-11 HAPPENED IN 2001 YOU loving TARDS." My friend tried to explain about the '93 bombing but this dude was "THE TOWERS FELL IN 2001 YOU gently caress, LEARN YOUR HISTORY."

Gimping around one handed sure is fun waiting for it to close up enough to put something better than gauze over it.

Sup sliced open hand buddy? Sliced the poo poo out of my thumb a few hours ago while using scissors instead of proper wire strippers, from the nail down the side about 2 inches. Hurt like a motherfucker (and the tramadol I had on hand is starting to wear off, so it's starting to hurt again), and took entirely too long to stop bleeding.

I get to ask my boss for a new uniform shirt on my next shift, since I was still wearing my work shirt, and wound up pulling it off and wrapping my thumb to try and stop the bleeding.

All of the wires I was trying to strip are now color coded "blood red". The best part? They were part of direct burial sprinkler wires that got sliced by a family member when he decided it was time to redo the front yard, so I was stripping wires that were in dirt. He thought the wires were roots while digging up the yard to lay down sod. :downsgun: Glad I've had a tetanus shot in the past decade..

(don't use scissors to try to strip wires or rip cable jackets - I spent 30 seconds looking for my wire strippers, didn't find them immediately, and decided it would be easier to use scissors)

I probably should have gotten a few stitches.

The funny part? My stepdad asked me "so have you ever sliced your hand open when you're trying to rip cable with scissors?" about 10 seconds before the scissors slipped. My immediate reaction after slicing my thumb was "you had to loving say that", I feel a bit like an rear end in a top hat after dropping that line... :smith: He's actually showing real emotion for the first time in a long time, and I'm getting mothered to death by both my mother and stepdad now.

Let me give you a hand (linked for those with light stomachs, but it's just my hand with a bandage and a bit of dried blood)

It's at least doing a bit better by now. But still trying not to use my right hand so it doesn't stretch back open (not to mention it hurts if I do move it too much). It is at least small enough that it's only really the middle finger that is affected. Typing all day for work should be fun.

Yesterday was just a big win for me. Lots of stupid thing and not thought out decisions. What a waste of a day.

Well, the upside is it's not my dominant hand.... but it's still my thumb, which is going to make doing anything that requires both hands a complete bitch for several days Good thing I'm average white guy in the male department? Admit it, you at least chuckled a little... Looking at it now, I definitely should have gotten stitches (bitch is STILL leaking precious red poo poo), but :laffo: at the thought of how much it would cost to get stitches at 11pm. I already owe about 2 full paychecks to a hospital as it is.

I've managed to make it bleed pretty bad again twice so far. I don't mean "poo poo, it's leaking a little blood", I mean "poo poo, blood is rapidly dripping off of my hand, it's not quite a lawn sprinkler again, but the red poo poo is definitely escaping at a rapid pace". If the nurses at my doctor's office could nail a vein that accurately for blood draws, I would die a happy man - they always stick a needle in, the vein says "lol nope", and instead of sticking me again, they always say "your veins want to say it's time to play go fish" and dig around in my arm :fuckoff: :supaburn: :fuckoff: :suicide: and leave me looking like a rookie heroin addict for weeks.

Who the gently caress thought a night race at the end of a long weekend, in a place where a rain delay is likely, was a good idea? Looked like a good race, the last few laps would have been really exciting if I didn't know who won.

It sucks that plate racing is so dangerous. The plate package is the only one that consistently makes for good oval racing with this car.

Well done, that's a fun one to limp around with. Did the same several years ago with a dirt bike, two weeks later x-ray shows spider cracks all over the kneecap. Still get odd pain and swelling years later.

New Terminator movie was entertaining and better than I expected. Didn't even know about it until Friday afternoon then saw it yesterday afternoon. A lot of little things that tie it into the original and some good humor. Worth seeing. Still would like to see Jurassic World before it's out of theaters.

Thought I hosed up my Saturday morning date pretty bad and was bummed. Late text yesterday afternoon asking if I wanted to do steak, wine and a movie at my place next weekend. She's awesome :3:
