Faux Life: Things That Happen On TV But Not In Reality
riley702 replied to Kromm's topic in Everything Else TV
Had a coworker with no concept of personal space. We're giving report around a table and he keeps hitching his chair closer and me edging further down the table. He was the only one who didn't notice - everyone else was snickering. When I got to the end of the table, I planted myself, pushed him away to the length of my arms, and told him, "This is my personal space - stay out!" -
Except that she uses the top slot on the outlet, blocking the bottom one.

Confession time - I don't feel in the slightest bit sorry for Progressive Jaime. He's delusional, wrong about most things, yet thinks he's all that. -
Strudel-Boy and Cawowine: Irritating Kids in Commercials

Her character on Disney's K. C. Undercover is even more obnoxious. She's a robot. -
We started the kittens off in a dog crate, and even though they're 9 months old now, they still prefer to sleep there. When they hear us get up for coffee, they're all about the "Feed us!" and then they're ready to play.

Chinese sizes? I did order one from a Chinese company because it was cheap, but I had to calculate I would need a 4x to equal a 14. And they don't have many of those sizes, which really limited my choice. -

I hate the LM chick who thinks that because she uses her insurance "zomg, the rates went up - they're ripping me off. Why?" Umm, because you cost them money by not paying for the whole thing yourself! That's how insurance works. Also, that line "tap one little bumper". YOU don't decide it's a little tap, sweetheart. You pay for the damage you caused. -

Not suicide, but Princess Diana's death gutted me, and I didn't know it would. My younger brother was totally dismissive and it pissed me off. -

Which kid? I thought it was the one the ad starts with - his mom saying, "This guy got a flat tire...", followed by reenactment of said flat tire. Other kid says his insurance doesn't offer that and snaps at his dad that he knows what a lug wrench is - only he doesn't. -

I'm glad she survived, @BW Manilowe. I'm sorry for your trauma. -

Dad taught me how to change a tire and change the oil, but I'm at the age where I'll pay someone to do it. I could if I had to. I had a Bloomfield jack in the trunk for years because I hate those scissor jacks. Now I have hydraulic bottle jacks, along with a set of chocks. -
Oh, no! Good luck and keep us posted. ETA: And spoil that child!

Anthony Bourdain has committed suicide at 61. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/08/us/anthony-bourdain-obit/index.html -
He and Pearl were so damned sick. We were actually told he was a girl, and me and my SIL, Paula, have had cats our entire lives, and this is the only one we ever got wrong. After he started putting away the groceries, he... developed. And he had worms so bad. Medicine, groceries including as much KMR as they would drink, and all 3 (including bonus kitty Wren, a Siamese) started growing like crazy. Pearl and a sibling were much smaller than the rest of their litter, and her brother died within a day. Pearl has always been feisty - that had to help. She also adores people - when she sees you approach, she lights up and runs to you. Wren is quieter, but very affectionate as well. We got one from each pregnant mama, and all 3 have great personalities.

Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"
riley702 replied to Betweenyouandme's topic in Everything Else
So glad you're still with us, tiftgirl. I was suicidal through my mid teens to mid 20s. I was not thinking correctly and it's a miracle I didn't do anything. I'm under control medically now and can't begin to say how much it has helped, but it took time. Thankfully, I didn't have kids, but if someone had tried to keep me away from my child, it would have destroyed me. -
Will do! He had a little black spot on his head that the lady cut off because she was afraid we would think it was grease and not take him. It regrew and is now nearly gone.
