Confused, how did the cat fuck up a glass cooktop?
Damn Boissal! Hope your little one is ok.
I’m not a parent but that was triggering for me…My 3 m/o nephew (who spent the first days of life in NICU, had a surgery or two, and spent almost a month in the hospital before going home) got covid over the holidays from our SIL’s family. SIL knew her hubby and kids were sick but still showed up w/ her sick kids. I don’t know why but my other SIL decides to bring her 3 m/o to the parties with her family who DGAF about others cause of Jesus and MAGA. Sure enough the 3 m/o gets covid after all he’s already gone through.
But the grandparents prayed a lot for the little guy to recover. Pretty sure the SIL who got the guy sick hasn’t spent more than 5 seconds reflecting on it. What the fuck ever.
I’m frustrated with everyone in that situation. Actually hadn’t thought about it for a while and now I’m all worked up. Fuck.
The babe is doing better, no fever in the past 4 days but she's still crushed, her naps are all 2.5 to 3 hours long and she's gone from the most pleasant baby to an incessantly whiney one. She's now waking up 2 to 3 times a night and won't go back to sleep again until held for a while. She gets heinous coughing fits that wake her up, and she pukes 1/2 her food due to coughing. Shit has not been fun.Quote:

Apparently it's just like the flu. Fuckers, I haven't had the flu in 15 years but if involves 36 hours of high fever and a throat that feels like someone poured gasoline down it then lit it on fire (like this round of COVID) I'm pretty sure I'd rather not get it...
Ive had covid twice (that i know of at least). Each time, it was not as bad as a standard flu, and not in the same ballpark as a couple bad flu's ive had in the past 15 years. The flu is no fucking joke... which is why it kills so many people each year. Same with RSV- it was milder for me than a standard flu (though the weezing and coughing fits were a little scary if im being honest).Quote:

Sorry, its a pet peeve for people to poopoo influenza in light of covid. Flu/Covid/RSV all can and do really fuck people up
The couple next to me on the plane were coughing and hacking for the 10 hour flight. I wore a mask to no avail. And now I have COVID. Fuck.
Vibes. My round 1 came after flying as well, couple weeks after mask became optional in the air. Flew to France and back, miraculously I didn't get it on the way there to fuck up my time off but on the way back I was surrounded by people with the black lung and was sick by the time I got off the plane. The sky incubator will get you every time.Quote:

I'm convinced that an airplane is where I caught my two cases of COVID. Both times seated near someone coughing their head off, with no mask.Quote:

Boissal, I would definitely be taking a much harder line with this than you. Much. But I'm glad everyone in your own family is getting better.
Great. Now I'm hungry for cheese...Quote:

See this all the time on Facebook from businesses and athletes and whatever. These are autoposts to FB from IG, I think. And FB doesn't have a "bio". So if you want to see that link you have to go to IG and find that company/athlete or google or whatever, which entirely defeats the whole point of the post.
I chuckled.Quote:

I ordered a Murphy bed on Wayfair last year that I just got around to installing this week due to being in the middle of a move and it not being a huge priority to install right away.
Come to find out I'm missing an entire part of the kit needed for the actual bed frame portion of the furniture, not to mention they didn't ship the two side cabinets included in the order. Called Wayfair twice because the first customer rep was useless, second time got a "senior" rep who was slightly more useful in that she gave me a number for the manufacturer/wholesaler but still said she couldn't do anything for me.
So now I'm sitting on a pile of boards with no actual hardware to be able to assemble the bed itself and still missing essentially half of what I originally placed the order for. This is partly my fault for not opening up the boxes right away, but they were huge and heavy as fuck so figured everything was in them. It also doesn't shift the blame away from Wayfair for being shady AF and not providing what I paid for. They only shipped 2 boxes which I now realize should have been at least 4.
That’s absolutely shit and it sucks you have to put up with that kind of bullshit. You could try to price at leevalley/woodcraft/rockler the missing hardware but fuck wayfair
When your kid gets a flat and you drive to where she is and the jack that came with the car is missing a critical piece. I had to leave and drive to where I had a strong enough signal to get the AAA app to work. PITA...
You’ve had quite run of a few days GL.Quote:

Had a major one with my mom's hearing aids that cost around $6k. She never told us she got them (bravo for her doing it) but when she had issues putting them in, she never told anyone and just didn't use them. It's a stupid design that someone without dexterity or good cognitive ability won't be able to handle since you have to hold it a certain way putting it in. Now it's too late to return them for a different design and we're stuck with it, or will have to pay more $$$ for ones she'll actually be able to use.
I'm mostly annoyed at the hearing aid place for sending her out the door with them when she clearly couldn't get them in herself.
Winning! No... The best part is the week isn't over yet. Yay. I did solve the plumbing problem painlessly so that was nice.Quote:

tried the customer service contacts to return per their published return policy...both addresses provoked a blocked email response for "virus".
i had FW'ed the order email in that missive...now i wonder what virus-y shit is in my gmail cuz i didn't have any viruses embedded from my end...sigh, resending the request for return/refund without the attachment...not expecting much at this point
annoying shit

Your time is worth so little to you that you are chasing down an online international <$20 refund? I mean, the ski conditions arent looking great here either, but damn.Quote:
