How does a NZ farmer count sheep? 1... 2.... Hello darling ...3 ....4 Why do you bang sheep near cliffs? So they push back Welcome to September, where the end of this hell year is just 438 days away. This is yet another terrible OP for a a terrible chat thread where we prance around slapping each other with fish, talk about getting a q-tip up the dickhole (why? Dont ask me), bad cars, therapy, food, copious alcohol to try to cope with a most henious year and..... The new Bill and Ted movie apparently is actually pretty good? Well poo poo 2020 has some redeeming value after all. The cat has seen your browsing history!  Ask me how I caught someone literally pants down in the office.

Well, almost-september is off to a rough start. A friend that I considered close enough to be a family member (who even shares not only my mother's name, but the most uncommon version of it) was admitted to the ICU last night. Got a phone call as I was pulling into the parking lot at work letting me know she died a couple of hours ago. Right now, the family is being told it was "rapid onset pneumonia, sepsis, and ended up on a ventilator". Hit me hard enough that I turned around and came back home. I'm heading up to Dallas in a bit Wait how did you get my cat? He's sitting right here damnit!  tetrapyloctomy posted:Urine is great for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia. People only get swabbed when the person ordering the test either doesn't know better or is being vindictive. They also wanted a swab of the arse and throat, since, you know, there's been  up in there. All self-administered, because of COVID. I think the self-administered part is what made it worse, even though I did my own, uh, piercing in the same general area ages ago.Everything came back negative, as it should, but I'd never had the full workup done before. It was all free too. It was a "ah, what the hell, I'm already here, been over 2 years since my last HIV test" moment when I picked up my pride week flag at the clinic.

For whatever reason this made me think of a classic car collector boomer type guy who gets a blackstone oil analysis done on each car every year but hasn't had a wellness exam in 5 years. Edit: poo poo I'm not saying you are that guy. It was more a thought about how regular checkups are like preventative maintenance.

From the last thread:the spyder posted:Since we're on the topic of houses, anyone have a recommendation on where to buy blinds/shades? I checked out a few generic sites and was looking at $50/window for the smaller windows in our house and $100+ for the larger. Kinda painful with 6 large and 20 smaller windows. Last I remember looking it was 1/2 this. Motherfuckin' Costco.com or .ca, wherevs. Great pricing, especially when on promo and all custom sized, no fuss. E: Here's cat tax when Cooper and Ginger were wee... about 13 years ago now.

He was a good guy. PM me your paypal/venmo/cashapp and I'll send you some lunch money so you can get some food delivered while you're visiting. That cat is actually my Aunt's. She lives in Dallas so it very well could be related to yours if not actually yours. The picture was taken like 5 years ago.

Yeah definitely not mine, I've had him over 5 years. Relation slightly possible, but unlikely for reasons I'd rather not go into here (if rear end in a top hat Casserole swings by, she's welcome to describe his story though). And no need to do that. I'll be staying with my mom, I always gain 5 pounds when I stay there. Thank you though.

Is there anything more trivial and maddening than a wireless connection just flaky enough to troll you every single time you try to do anything, but just functional enough that you still try to use it? Good Christ. I'm about to shotput this phone into low Earth orbit. Literally every time I try to Google something instead of dicking around on Facebook it trips on its own rear end in a top hat.

I get 1 bar of 4g in this hangar in one spot and the WiFi is flaky as gently caress for other reasons. It's loving great. It took me like 2 hours to get some basic research done on rockauto.

So Sunday I adjusted the TPS on Dave using my laptop and figured out it was reading 0% for the first like 10% of throttle input. It had been doing this really annoying thing that I think was overrun fuel cut at low throttle steady speeds. Makes sense since it thought I was off the gas. Adjusted it so it's perfect now and it runs a million times better, doesn't feel like I'm driving with the ebrake on all the time, way peppier. Just have to put the new steering rack in and I'll be caught up on stuff. Just now

God drat the movers know their poo poo. Two guys, got here at 8:00 sharp, had my entire pod packed in 70 minutes flat. Edit: I should add, I tipped them $20 each, because the company charges $75 an hour for them, I'm sure they don't get even half that themselves. And they drive their own cars there. I have to pack everything on the shelves in to boxes, I got lazy last night. The boxes and buckets on the left are empty. Also I stood the axle up to see if it leaks, and it doesn't. So I'll put that in standing up. Then the shelves break down pretty compact. I'll probably scrap out the white one, it's cheap junk.  I thought it wouldn't fit, but it did, floor to loving ceiling all the way in. I'll have to rearrange the loose things, I have about 3 feet of depth left for the remains of the garage which should fit in one or two stacks of boxes. There's also some scrap wood that I was going to keep but there's nowhere for it to fit now.  It's really packed in there. I'm sure I'm going to lose at least 3% of my possessions to shifting and squishing. Here's hoping my TV doesn't make it! (I kinda want a new TV).  Now I'm going to blow up my air bed and take a nap, I slept like poo poo last night in anticipation of the movers. Then after lunch I'll pack the rest and call them for pickup. Tomorrow I scrap out the last of the car parts and anything else that doesn't fit in the pod, and clean while the new furnace is installed. Thursday I'll schedule a walk through and go sign my closing documents, then pack the car. Friday morning I leave Denver for good.

I have my wifi set up to just be strong enough that it works in my bedroom (pretty far from my router). However, my goddamn phone keeps latching onto it when I leave. My car is parked just far away enough that my phone thinks it has wifi, but it actually doesn't. So if I want to stream music or do google maps, I have two choices. 1. Turn off wifi. I will then forget to turn it on when I return. 2. Drive a few feet away until it disconnects and then do it. edit: Good movers are loving masters of space. I bet they're good at tetris.
