My WiFi pissed out, so I had to switch to my data network to stream the video of this morning's GMA. Used up all sorts of my data!

Compound Problem

I was making a burger. I'd made the patty and set it to cook and reached for the soap...it was used up, bottle empty.

I went to the bathroom but the door wouldn't open...greasy hands.

I went back to the kitchen, hoping hot water would do the job...it didn't. The hot water takes five minutes in the kitchen sink to become hot.

I'd wasted nearly five minutes and the burger was being slightly burnt, so I reached for the spatula and dropped it...greasy hand.

I picked up the spatula with a pair of tongs, used the tongs to turn the burger.

I used an old paper towel from the garbage in the kitchen on the bathroom door, as I was fresh out of them, too.

I washed my hands, dried them, and went out and turned that burger onto a plate and that

...was that.

Oh lord why do I fly Soutwest? Well I guess because the price is right.
I also don't have free pre check anymore,...now I'd have to buy it.
I hope that when I took my shoes off that everyone in a 50 foot radius turned green.
And....I was hassled because I recently got a new passport and I hadn't signed it! According to the TSA czars it means it's not valid! Oh gawd.

The first part of my trip was on a six seater prop and the pilots looked like they were 16. I thought the plane was going to shatter into a million pieces. Sixty minutes of extreme turbulence. I kept my eye on interstate 15 convinced that's where we'd be landing!

I want one of those cubbies like above!

Parked too close to my mailbox. Got in and drove off in a hurry... CRUNCH.
Later, same day, too much dirt on my mirror to see the jeep bumper sticking out on the passenger side of my new truck, which now has a new crease in the right rear lower fender. Just like it was keyed. With a concrete breaker-bar.

Worst of all, I haven't even been drinking yet.

Recliner seat in movie theater broken. Had to watch the whole film sitting up while everyone else got to lie way back.

Totally ruined my experience for that film. Feeling robbed.

Manager gave me free past coupon for next film but no I don't ever want to go back to that theatre.

No one's donating to my GoFMe requests. I need to rebuild my garage, so it can fit a Sprinter van.

Have created GoFMe pages to raise money for both a van and the remodel, but no one is donating. Please HELP!

If funded, I promise to print a book with a listing of all donations, so I can remember you all forever!

i can't manage to slide behind the wheel of my sweetheart's ride without getting
my flannel jammies in a twist 'cuz the seats are bristling with sturdy velour.

i could drop in from the backseat if the sunroof was open but that would result in a wedgie

had a backhoe in to demo a house and the next day got a passive aggressive email from a neighbor a couple houses down wondering what we were going to do about the dust that was on his window sills...

seems he had just had them "commercially" cleaned.

and before you imagine a 9/11 style carpet of ash, you'll have to trust me when i tell you that i stood 30' away, in the same yard as the demo, during the worst of it and didn't even smell dust, let alone "get covered with it"...



amazing how some people survive given the hardships they have to face each and every single day...
