Shankara20 said:Sometimes it makes me nuts the way I worry about being PC (politically correct) in what I post. Last night in another thread I was going to mention a bisexual magazine I read before it went under. There were two that are now gone. One was "Black Sheets", the other was "Anything That Moves" - as I was typing "Anything That Moves" I added "(except children, animals and family members)" to head off an expected firestorm. As I reread the post before sending it I just felt pissed that I was about to add that "except" thing. It destroyed the flow of the post. So after a moment of consideration I took it out.
It just pisses me off that I was that self-protective, over protective.

Love*Spell said:What a shitty ass day it's been .... I need a sedative! Trying to get the kids registered for school, which btw, starts NEXT Thursday. This city has a lottery style system for schools ... parents have to choose and apply to a freaking elementary school. WTF happened to going to the school around the corner from the house?? But the district system doesn't exist here .. GRRRrrrrr
Open house is tomorrow and Thursday at the schools, but I don't f'ing know which school my kids will be attending *throws hands up in air in frustration*.
Oh, and don't even get me started on the teenagers attitude about changing schools. This is for certain, my life does NOT revolve around his social life ... but if he wants to borrow the car anytime soon, he best watch his tone of voice!
Got good news today about the schools .... we've been placed with my first selection, meaning my munchkins will only be 300 yards from my office each day. I was hounding the central school board office all day today, until they gave me confirmation. I think they got tired of me callingEbonyfire said:That sounds so complicated. I am so happy I do not have any young'uns to start in school. I do have a grandson, who is supposed to start kindergarten, and you have a couple of choices here.

Now today's bitch? UNIFORMS???? WTF?? I hate uniformsYes, I see the purpose of them, that's not my problem. I had to wear a uniform to school as a kid, and well, it just brings back nightmares of a strict christian school. That was one of the promises I've kept as an adult .. you know the ones you say as a child ~ "I'll never do that to MY kids".
Ebonyfire said:It's great about your good news! Mine never had to wear uniforms, you definitely have my sympathy.

Anyway so my power steering went out in the middle of the freaken free way at 70 mph. I managed, barely, to get it to the side of the road, went to call my mom and cell phones battery bit it. Luckily this guy stopped and helped me out, cause the next exit was a mile away and I had both the babies with me.But if you just give them your bank account number, they PROMISE to deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars in it. *gasp* You don't think it's worth it?? *complete sarcasm*Ebonyfire said:I am sick of these fucking Nigerians asking for my help!!

graceanne said:So, since I wasn't here you won't know this, but the weekend before last my car broke down. I was driving home from my moms when the water pump bit it. That made this funky belt in there break and so everything else stopped working, cause their's only one belt to rule them all.Anyway so my power steering went out in the middle of the freaken free way at 70 mph.

graceanne said:Why in the world od they call it two different things? To confuse the hell out of people? I mean if it's antifreeze CALL it antifreeze. grr

Antifreeze is the old term - radiator fluid is the new term. There are some small differences in the way they are made and how they work, but what every they call it it is the coolant (another word some also call it) used to transfer heat away from the pistons and other moving parts, Water will sorta work in summer but it freezes in cold climates and becomes useless. Without enough of some sort of liquid in a fluid cooled vehicle's system car don't go vroom vroom.
Air cooled systems are something else, but what do you care - you don't have one

I'm just laughing because Shank beat me to the clarification, that apparently didn't clarify.graceanne said:If you could see me you'd see that my eyes are doing that swirly thing.
I got married for this reason - so I wouldn't have to deal with all this crap.
That was a fine explanation. What's the matter? Don't you understand "car don't go vroom vroom"?graceanne said:If you could see me you'd see that my eyes are doing that swirly thing.

tealsphynx said:I completely agree though, men were put on this planet to take care of car work, and any job that is slimey, excessively stinky (except for pets (though cleaning poo is a boy job) and kids, that's a generally accepted girl job) any job that would cause excess perspiration and requires heavy pushing/pulling/lifting.![]()
heheheEbonyfire said:There are no girl jobs in my world. There are no girls. My men do what I tell them to do. If they do not know how to do it, I train them to do it. I don't see why I should ruin my manicure.

Hurts like a bitch, doesn't it? *cringe* That's something a sadist would enjoy.tealsphynx said:I just couldn't believe that in the shop she worked at approved of the "popping off" of old nails instead of soaking them off with acetone. GODDAMN it hurt and it tore my nails up.
