Random Rants

I needed to start this thread for a bit of pity and a momentary wallow in my misery.

:violin:

For six rental seasons, I have done the same thing. I arrive to our place and do the bi-annual change out of slipcovers. Washed the Summer covers, put them up and put on the Fall covers, which had been washed last Spring.

Mr. K calls me last night and says we got a bill for the deep clean. Fine, good. Then he read me the ridiculous amount they have charged us for DRY CLEANING all the slipcovers!!!! We even were charged for "upholstery cleaning" the outdoor cushions, which I always wash! So, I just washed slipcovers that were recently drycleaned (I told them to never do this). :bang:

Thank you...I feel better. I will be having a meeting today.

Go ahead...rant away! :wave:

I'm supposed to think of a snappy comeback but instead I feel like saying something mushy. But I won't because I think we're on the ranting page. Got to keep that stiff upper lip an' all.

Want me to rant about something? Say no.

My feet hurt, I got drunk on two cocktails, but I played nice at dinner tonight and Mr. K is a happy man. My work is done.

You make me so proud. :clap:

Nope, no can do. I'm on EST just like you. I have missed the boat by minutes for any best shot. Those Texas gulls will have to pick up the slack for me because I'm going to bed!

Funny you mention this as this is where another leak took place. It's from the roof, though.....and, we have more rain coming today! Must call my worker now! Hope he's not busy and is in my hood!

Merman wants to go out in the pouring rain to put a snake in the gutter to clean it out. He said it's clogged with leaves and sticks. The trouble is, he can't find the damm snake. I'm feeling very uncharitable. I mean, think of it. You use a snake to clean out toilets that are clogged!!! How could he have lost the snake? It's not exactly an item you could drop just anywhere. "Oh pardon me, dear, but you've left the snake on the couch. Could you put it away, please?" :bang:

After my day, I am not feel very charitable either.......a snake is a rather large contraption to have misplaced. :lol:

The good thing about today is it's Palm Sunday! Lent is almost over~~~~~

Mi dispiace - I saw that one first, so I responded and bumped the AA banned thread.
Lost a lot of respect for anyone who questioned the decision to ban him - especially those who compared it to the Holocaust or the kgb, but I have to remind myself that they don't know the whole story and aren't in the industry. Quite frankly, it would be easier to list the Sowallers and communities who haven't had a problem with him in real life. Banning from Sowal might be his first Sowal internet community banning. :blink:

...what is the connection between MJF and RL? I read once that MJF deliberately does not take his meds to control his Parkinson's when he is interviewed about the disease. Sounds brutal, I know, but that's what I read!

He has been a great ambassador for getting the word out about research and for that I definitely applaud him!

Now that the wind has died down, I look at it as a gift from above...because I am always thinking about what is to come in June, July, August, September....

I LOVE not running artificial air machines! (HVAC) :clap:

That pucking wind about did me in. They took my picture at the dealership last night and the good news is, my face was covered by hair--blowing every which way. :blink:

I'd love to be running mine, since it's 34 pucking degrees right now and the wind is blowing like a MoFo!!!! However, it's not working!!!! :bang:

Hopefully, the wind will blow the HVAC repairman here quicker.
