So Friday we were breaking down camp, and I had eventually put shoes on after scoldings from my loved ones, but then took them off because I was in inch-deep mud to hose off the shower parts as we pulled them up; and I was too tired and harassed to put my shoes back on before dragging the flooring planks topside to dry in the sun ( Read more... )

After the previous stupidity with boughten userpics, I decided I would not renew, since I could not choose which of my stored pics would get activated. So that expired; and what happens?

A completely random selection of my remaining userpics were left on. And I do mean completely random. Not the oldest, not the most used, and not even my ( Read more... )

I rushed home from work early (dissing the COO) to take Ranger to the vet; he had been peeing outside the box a few times in the last few weeks, and I wanted to know if it was physically triggered or just I'm Old, Damn Ya, Get Off My Lawn ( Read more... )

So, once upon a time and for many moons uncounted, I had a paid LJ account. Then the whole Time of the Random Banhammering came, and various & sundry other stupidities from the new overlords, and I did not want to give them of my moneys any more, so I dropped to a free account and moved my primary existence over to Dreamwidth, which can be neatly ( Read more... )

Went to my primary care physician today in re: my Probably Sciatica; not because I thought he could do anything about it, he being an internal medicine dude, but to start the referral wagon in motion. I was expressing how this particular pain was different from my other injuries on that leg, and he said "how many had you had?" and I started ( Read more... )

Student Helper: This happens when Firefox detects another profile in use. {fix elided}User: That didn't work. Also this started happening when we started using this application hosted elsewhere, and other schools are saying they're having the same problem with it too. So please ( Read more... )

I have come down with nedlnthred's lurgy (with really shit-arse timing, I may add), and crawled home from work at 2pm suffering from total enervation, a tetchy throat, and a head packed with pressure. No actual symptoms elsewise, but still deeply miserable. In the hopes of effecting a swift cure, or at least keeping it from getting much worse, I spawned ( Read more... )

So, there was this sewing project (q.v.), and as I kind of guessed I did not, in fact, turn early December to any sort of account; and then the holidays were holidayish, and I chucked it in the corner and failed to meet its eye until suddenly I was staring down the barrel of Twelfth Night. Why is this night different from all other nights? Well, ( Read more... )

I tend to view flexible spending accounts as rather like gym memberships: they are viable based on the indolence of the 85% of consumers who pay a lot in advance and then never take real advantage. If you're one of the remaining 15%, and put in the effort, they're sure worth it, but for everyone else the vendor is snickering up its sleeve at you ( Read more... )
