Good morning shiners! Another nice day. Then expecting 7 days of rain. Guess I'll do a lot of rebuilding to stay amused.

I was supposed to get rain all last week, but not a drop. My grass is brown, which is fine by me because at least it’s not growing lol. I did get the outside part cut, but it started sprinkling before I could do inside the fence. Good enough. The town won’t complain about inside as long as outside looks good.

@stols001 you have been displaying exemplary self control! I haven’t bought anything recently either, but mostly because nothing has caught my eye. Although, I’ll admit, I wouldn’t mind having another Exus Ark for the stock pile. I’m really loving that thing. And I’d like a SS Zeus to go on the one I have. Waiting on my checking statement and electric bill to see how much in the way of groceries I can afford first though. Maybe next check I can be shiny lol.

I also never understood the cultural meme about pool boys and their hotness? Is that really a thing? The only time my mom ever had people servicing their pool, well, they were totally ugly. Etc.

I don’t have a pool boy per se, but guys who open/close and fix stuff. And I’d have to agree, not people I would dream about lol. But I did work with a guy who used to be a pool boy. He was pretty good looking. We hired in on the same day, and it was kind of funny because I’m 5’ nothing, and he was 6’ 5”. In company photos, they used to make us stand together. In our department there was also a guy shorter than me, a really heavy set girl, and one with copious facial hair. The rest of the factory called us the freak show.

What a cult movie!

 

[stols001]

"One of us! One of us!" If you haven't watched the movie "Freaks," well you should.

But, don't do it on a Black Day like seriously you have to be totally emotionally stable to watch that movie, and even then it is entirely UNCOMFORTABLE.

Don't say I didn't warn you, etc.... LOL.

That was actually not too bad!

 

[DeloresRose]

We are having a perfect rain right now. Just enough to wet the parched earth, not too light, not too heavy, no wind, no lightning or tornadoes. Been so long I can’t even remember the last time. I just want to sit on the porch and relax.

 

[Tralfaz]

Never gets old.

In shiny news, my vape mail is in that stage of limbo where it's arrived at the local distribution center but isn't on the truck yet and it's past 9:30am. Grrr.

anyone close to Vaping Events Calendar 2017-2018 - All Upcoming Vape Show Events

If I had the cash I'd take a road trip to Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I could come up with the gas money. But the call of the shinyness might set me back a year.

Flavoritis for me plus I need bottles and wanting more salts in the freezer. 5hr drive but I'm sure it would be worth it, IN has some beautiful spots.

Oh, I should note too, I get bonus shiny points for NOT getting something because I guess my private disability ended in June, but that means I get a July payment or something? Heck if I know, I only know that I have about DOUBLE what I imagined would be in my bank account and that is ALSO a nice problem to have. I also don't know if it's correct, so I'm going to like, investigate it, once I get my first steady paycheck and etc. However, I can't imagine they god it WRONG, this particular company was so tightwadded and hard to deal with, even my doc yelled at them at one point, and like he yells at people 0 out of hundred times.

I did call the kid and tell him I will be taking him to buy a wardrobe (functional) and two pairs of shoes and some soylent, which is what I promised him for his birthday. BOYS. I mean, he was happy about the shoes and clothes but far more excited about the SOYLENT. So yeah, IDK what happened but there is a big part of me that doesn't really care, although if it's some sort of felonious or error thing, I should deal with it soonish. But, I don't think it is, I cannot EVER imagine a scenario where they paid out more than they should.

So, I could totally afford a shiny but the rest is going toward my car payment and like, my emergency fund. LOL. The husband had a fit at me and I was like, "Dude, we're going to Old Navy and a shoe warehouse, probably the SOYLENT will be the most expensive part, I'm keeping it under $250, sheesh, you probably spent more on his INTERLOCK."

He simmered down, and I will admit there may have been times in the past when I would have been all EXTRAVIGANT, but that is not the Anna you see before you TODAY.

LOL, I had no pool, and my kiddo was mostly my mom's pool boy more because he wanted to swim in it, so I'll be happy to dream about the kid, but it is NOT going to be X-rated.

I have to ask, what the hell is soylent?

 

[whodat2112]

Happy Saturday Everyone!!!

I am working, again.

 

[Eskie]

I have to ask, what the hell is soylent?

It's people! We're eating people!

 

[Tralfaz]

It's people! We're eating people!

 

[Letitia]

But they're so tender and juicy.

 

[whodat2112]

It's people! We're eating people!

Yep, that came to my mind also

 

[Letitia]

Intake is pretty good. It of course has a new dt and an alien coil.

So Soilent, yes, was featured in a movie where the planet is running out of resources and whatnot and they made a food source out of it (some play on the words "soil" meaning dead, underground) and something else.

Some enterprising person set out to actually make a food nutrition beverage (it's mostly made from soy actually) that is suspiciously said to "provide 100% of your daily nutrients, and like, my son is obsessed with it. "I feel healthy when I drink it, Mom!" So although he does not crave to drink solyent 24/7 he likes it for breakfast and lunch and I guess it is in fact, loaded down with nutrition or something.

I'm also suspicious that this is dreadfully "Milennial" although frankly in matters such as these I HATE to sort of "tar a generation a whole generation with THAT brush," but yes, I am for the kid's 21st birthday buying him dead people nutrition. I figure it has to be better than some of the stuff he also eats. It's supposed to be released to Walmarts and even 7-11s but honestly, I have seen no such activity (at least around here) so you have to order it online. I figure if nothing else, it will decrease his grocery costs SOME until he moves.

And I cannot say if I've complained on THIS thread or not, but some kind person was sending me a COOL GEEKVAPE AMMIT just because they are nice, and GOD it went missing! I must retrieve it soon but I am ALMLOST awake.

I hate my mailman and also I have a package to deliver (if I can FIND her, she's not even on my street) in the hopes of some Trading Action I mean---

it's always when someone is being NICE too, not when I purchase something. It's getting suspicious and I REALLY well, won't have the opportunity to LURK at my mail man but at some point I am going to go down to my POST OFFICE and DEMAND =they hold ALL my packages there so I can just go get them (if that's even a thing, that is how much I hate my mailman).

Now I know how Jay felt. A tiny bit. I feel mean for making postman jokes at him because I know how REAL oh how REAL the desire can be to just STRANGLE one's mail carrier. Etc.

There will be no PO box, either. Just white you know, RAGE. LOL.

Otherwise, I'm fairly content. Although I may well, before my excursion take a horse tranq cuz well... I am REALLY annoyed. Etc.
