Acknowledgement: I think this may not be worth your time. Just saying.



Man I'm such a good wife, LOL when the husband burned our house enough, that like we had to leave for oh, a year, I didn't put his cigarettes through the woodchipper. I wasn't even that upset (oddly) and I was still working at that point, too. I was very super chill about all of it. Nope, wait, I take that back (I ordered lucky 7 batteries from IMR and they have already shipped, yes by truck, but they are mostly very fast I bet I get then in 2 days.) That was pneumonia time, when I was mostly chill because I was focusing on breathing.

Man, I'm exhausted. I went out and spent a bunch of money (not that much, but seemingly). I got new underwear (the husband was like "GOD finally, I thought I was gonna have to drag you,") socks (even MORE kudos). A Day Planner (I had to resort to an academic one, I could not bear to spend like 18 bucks on one with like 3 "good" months in it and I am hoping the new job hands me an Office Supply catalog and says, "PLEASE YOURSELF! ORDER!" (I still have a ton of things in the shed, but I really love certain pens that are expensive enough that I hope someone will supply them) I AMOST bought yoga clothes but I was like, "I can do better online." (I am skinny but short, so extra small petite at Target is still too big. In FACT they did not carry underwear smaller than size five, so I was sunk I had to go to kidsville and that is going to mean that I better make sure no errant fairy or like butterfly becomes exposed.

Also they were renovating Target. The watches were gone and like, I asked some stock person where they were and she told me a big long story about how like, they were "in the back at the moment" and I was all like, "Well can't a manager help me?" and that did in fact happen (I went there specifically for a watch though, their budget range lasts slightly longer for me) and I was like "twenty bucks around! Black wristband! Super plain and boring! Silver if there has to be metal involved" and she brought me a selection I felt like I was at Needless Markup only I wasn't my watch was $13.42. It was great. It is also named "a New Day," which I found apt.

Also then I went to Walmart and tried to purchase like, everything I possibly could, like High Protein ensure shakes so I don't get week and pathetic driving home and injuring myself, I even got granola bars, man, it was sweet. I got a 30 oz coffee cup with a lid. I am going to need that coffee.

LOL did you know that "serious" coffee drinkers (I heard a study and you are "serious" if you spend more than 3 hours on it per day (it's not about consumption, but time) actually develop a sort of "patina" on their cups due to not washing them, because people don't want to wash them, in fact they only do so for reasons of "shame" like their MIL is coming for a visit or whatnot but the patina is harmless? Like, even if you use milk?" So, some people don't wash them for years, and they can actually be auctioned off after decades at commanding prices?

Yeah, I don't believe a word of it either but I got my new mug and it does make me feel good about getting a mug I might be able to patina, should I choose.

Sorry this is how I get when I spend money (like two hundred and fifty bucks even). Wait til the RV.

The patina on a stainless coffee stein is no myth :oops:. A denture tablet takes care of it though.

Apart from being an awful shade of green that’s a 1amp output charger. I would be comfortable trying this but if the mod gets hot then unplug and use the USB off your computer/laptop
That would require hunting down said laptop and charging it lol. Since I retired, I rarely find a reason to pull it out.

I just realized I wasted half a day hunting for, then trying to read the micro print on wall warts to find ONE maybe acceptable one :facepalm:. For one mod. I’ll use occasionally. Just because I don’t use a freaking computer. Maybe the Chinese are trying to blow us all up, one vaper at a time. I’m sure I’m not the only one that doesn’t read the poorly translated “manual” that comes with mods.

Just buy the cheapest Wallwarts you can find, don't worry about the numbers so much @NolaMel. Just go to Dollar Tree, everything's a dollar there. I'm sure they will be low powered, and hence, super safe. :lol::lol::lol:

I am so glad I don't have to "follow" a football team, man. I did watch a lot of football in HS but that was mainly because my mom was a HUGE admirer of football... ..... It was about the only time she was both happy and chill (in my presence anyway) and like, hence I know a lot of the arcane rules of football due to that.

I went to Swarthmore college and their "football team" was really.... If there is a Division Lower than III, I think that they, uh, were in that one.

One of my fondest memories was watching A (all that was necessary) Game in college, LOL, I'm not sure they could front a "full" team so it only got better as the "offense" team got clumsier compared to the "defense" team which got slower and more tired. It was fantastic.

I found my bit of provape. That is a lie, actually, the husband handed me a flashlight and yes I used tools, and then I moved the couch like 100% away from it's position (I learned my lesson I was able to put it back this time) but it turned out to be in a different area of the room entirely which I discovered when the husband handed it to me.

Oh, I tried to play it off all nonchalant like "It must have rolled over there while I was moving the couch," but no one in the room was fooled.

The husband also gave me directions to how to put the couch back. I mean, I let him. I know he likes to feel useful, at least that is MY explanation of how we've stayed married all these years.

LOL, that was also my "talk" to my mom when she was like, "Honey, how do you wind up with such CAPABLE husbands?" (Sperm donor was REALLY capable early on, before, you know, stuff) and I was like, "MOM! You just LET them! You act really ditzy and incapable at them to give them time to figure it OUT!"

LOL, I definitely have some hidden capabilities (and deficiencies) as does the husband, but I have found that playing dumb in MANY situations, (not ALL obviously) can at least buy you some TIME.

LOL.
