Isolated Blurt Thread

I buy mine from a local brush maker who still uses solid wooden connections between the head and the handle. He would repair them for me, but his prices are so reasonable that I buy a new one when the brush head wears out. It NEVER becomes disconnected.

If I had the correctly sized drill bit for the existing handle, I'd drill the thing in proper;
with good glue, too!
 



The Math: At present, Musk has received $4.9 billion dollars in taxpayer subsidies. In return he has delivered cars that are so expensive that the wealthy buyers of such cars get their own personal subsidy in the form of a tax deductions.

At this point, are we supposed to say “Thanks, Elon”?

Meanwhile, in the developing world, WWFA says a village-sized water well costs about $8,000 to put in … so the money we’ve wasted on Musk and his sparky cars would buy clean water wells for more than half a million developing communities.

I doubt that folks in those communities would say “Thanks, Elon” if they knew about that Faustian bargain …

I have just installed a monitoring tracker.

For Literotica it shows 1 and sometimes 2.

For Yahoo? 24 or 25.

How do I turn off all those Yahoo trackers that are slowing my internet?

If you use Firefox, there are a number of "options" you can download.
These include such helpful gadgets.
 
Would be nice if my husband could be, I don't know, a little happy for me but I guess it wasn't his goal so I should just be happy for myself, right? I'm probably just tired. *sigh*

ice water, on a cotton cloth and applied to the wound. Not dripping, you understand, but just 'moist'.

Now I gotta sort out my Win 10 machine.

Have a very gentle virtual <HUG>. Virtual hugs don't hurt.
 
Fuck this shit, I give up.
It's better talking to walls, at least I know why they don't respond.
Walls don't live in a state of sustained peri-menopause like you.

I assume that has to do with my burn and not any wound I may give him. :rolleyes: Haven't we discussed Windows 10? PM me if you're still having trouble.

I just passed 2500 words for this story. That's 2500 more than I wrote over the last six months (or longer). Fingers crossed for an even higher word count over the next eight days.
 
I turned my mobile phone on yesterday. I wanted to find out how much credit I had left on it. It had no signal. I went outside. Still no signal.

This morning I went it town and stood next to a phone mast. No signal.

I went back home, found the top-up card and went to the local phone shop for help. They had no signal on it either. They tried the sim in another phone. No signal. The sim card had died.

They checked on line. My mobile's number is defunct. When did I last top it up?

I checked on the faded slip with the top up card. June 2014.

When did I last make a call? June 2014.

It now has a new sim card. :eek:
 
Christmas Shoppers

Yesterday we had to go to our local shopping mall for Christmas presents. I wish my eldest daughter would produce her wish list of obscure items earlier. She does it every year. She waits until the first week in December.

The parking at the shopping mall, although extensive, was almost full. I was driving my usual large and ancient Volvo estate. I found a space fairly easily and reversed the Volvo in.

Drivers with far smaller cars were driving around and around turning down multiple opportunities. They don't know how to park in a restricted space. Even just driving around the car parks they were ignoring road markings, one way systems and no entry signs. As we walked from our car to the shops we could hear repeated car horns, squeals of brakes and abusive language as the incompetent drivers met each other.

Today we went to a local supermarket. As we entered the car park an elderly disabled man walking very slowly with two sticks was using the crossing. The car ahead of us waited patiently, as did we. The car behind me flashed its headlights and beeped its horn because we weren't moving.

I parked my car. As we walked towards the supermarket the elderly man had reached the second crossing. He walked very slowly across it. He was only a third of the way over when one car drove behind him and another in front of him, forcing him to stop his progress. A third car sounded a horn at him because he was now stationary half way across, waiting for the car in front of him to clear the crossing. It couldn't because it was too close to the car in front which was held up by someone manoeuvering to park. If they had waited twenty seconds he would have reached the other side, but they couldn't wait that long.

Before he had cleared the crossing there were at least four or five cars sounding their horns. To be fair most of them wouldn't have been able to see what the obstruction was.

Eventually the elderly man reached the supermarket entrance. From where he had parked his car to the store entrance had taken him a quarter of an hour for a distance of seventy yards. Why hadn't he parked in the disabled car spaces by the entrance? Because they were all full of cars NOT showing disabled stickers.

Goodwill to men? I wasn't seeing it.
