Shit that annoys you

[spanky]

Waze does celeb voices. The Cookie Monster one was pretty awesome, "Police ahead. Mmmm, think he wants a cookie?"

Shit that annoys me... Both Cookie Monster and Mr. T are no longer offered on Waze. I'm assuming, with some effort, I can probably find the voices somewhere.

You'd think that with a couple of thousand grads every year there would be.

Where I went to school all the unneeded furniture, kitchen and household stuff got dumped in several huge piles in the parking area. It was a free for all for scavengers. Those moving close by for the summer made out like bandits.

But you are a chronic enabler. It will always be taken care of by you.

And you’re a chronic asshole. I’d much rather be the enabler with a loving child.

He did say grad school, right? Moving home and unable to deal with unwanted furniture? This is a full on adult here. Did she land a job, or is she planning to live with mom and pops in perpetuity?

Storage unit?

I don’t care how old my daughter is. If she asks for help her dad will always help her.

As they get older you mostly drop into some kind of readiness mode hoping they need you for something.

Yup grad school. Yup, unable because she doesn't drive and her boyfriend's car doesn't run often enough to be useful. Nope not a full on adult, calendar says so but... No. Job? hahaha She got a volunteer gig teaching ESL overseas for 10 months

And, what Buzz said

Ticks, I fucking hate them. Taken over a dozen off last couple of days.

[::: :::]

Sunday: power washed 1800sf of green concrete (not fresh concrete, but accumulated winter PNW organics) and brought out the outdoor furniture. Wife planted about 50 plants and weeded the landscaping. Even played some corn hole before dinner in the mild weather. Outlook for the week? Sunny and unseasonably warm. Ready for the change in weather/season.

Monday: nice day until 5p when we had a two hour deluge of a rain storm roll in. Gutters were choking and overflowing, not from debris, but from volume of flow. It was insane. Thunder, lighting: whole shebang. Flood and forest debris all over the yard, patio and furniture.

Just gotta laugh.

I'd be a little less of a hater on ticks if they'd just stop leaving those darn disease thank you gifts.

Thankfully we don't have much of that in Socal, but do have tons of ticks. Pulled one off my belly last week that was just starting to burrow in, got far enough along I had a nice welt forming.

Unfortunately here in Maine they carry a bunch of nasty diseases

Right? My daughter is an amazing, self-reliant 28 yo woman. If she called me right now I'd drive the hour to her house and help her with whatever she needed.

Man, we got some assholes up in here!

I think anyone who is not a parent can STFU with opinions about parenting. MTM, I'm looking at you. Each situation is different and there's probably a lot you don't know, nor should you know, in any given backstory. Do parents sometimes do too much for their kids? Yes. Do we realize it, if not in the moment, then down the road? Usually. Are we trying the best we can? Yes.

[J. Barron DeJong]

Even as a parent I’m hesitant to give advice. No parents know what they’re doing and all kids are different.

Agree. I like my daughter. Even more so now that she’s beyond the teen years. I’m gonna drive a few hours next weekend to help her do some landscaping. BFD.

What about it?

Well, back when it was "stay up to midnight 3 nights in a row" that was annoying, but at least I got permits. But now, with the mega 3 month release at one time, it seems much harder. I am on there right at 8am, see campsites available, click on them, get my whole itinerary lined up, click "book", and get the error message that one or more of my selected campsites are not available, so I start over, see different campsites available, click on them, line up my 3 night itinerary, and click book, and the same error message. Got that 3 times as all of the campsites slowly disappeared, each time they were available when I refreshed, but in the 10 seconds it took me to pick 3 and click book, one or more of them had been snagged. Over and over.

Can someone check the box fan? Trying to post this morning has been really annoying.

Edit: inevitable that this would be the post that actually worked. Thanks to whoever gave the fan a kick to get it going again.

I get unreasonably excited when my kids are occasionally not indifferent.

Just came here to post this. I mean, I know it comes with the territory in Colorado, but I just had this replaced 6 months ago. Big ass truck hauling ass in opposing lane in a 35 mph zone tossed off a bunch of rocks, the crack grew in the morning sun so never had time for even a chip repair. Glass insurance yes but it will still cost me time on top of another glass deductible. Annoying that it's right in my field of view otherwise I'd say F it.

Also- truckers who don't sweep off their trucks. Annoying!

I could help you out with that in Silverthorne.

Good to know, thanks for that! I'll reach out as I get closer to timing.
