NOW MY PUCKING REMOTE CONTROL IS MISSING.

HOW THE HAIL AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SICK WITH NO REMOTE?

Look between the cushions. Also, retrace your steps and see if you put it down somewhere.

It's gone. It left me. This is complete rejection. I had my mother come look, too. Not in the refrigerator, the trunk of my car, in my bed (in the other room). I'm taking this very personally...until I fall asleep...

Check the bathroom, the fridge and under your afghan!

Hope you find it soon, you are having a ROUGH couple of days!

You read my mind...I just did all of those! (plus the medicine cabinet, my purse, both the clean and dirty laundry baskets, and the linen closet.)

If you love your remote, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If not, borrow one from a friend who isn't with Direct TV anymore. (Does that also work with shiny new boyfriends?)

Good spots. Also, look under the furniture and under any reading material.

I have 2 direct tv remotes. Do I need to fed ex you one? or both?

Don't feel bad. I lost a jar of mayo yesterday. I found it in the laundry room.

I'll get back to you on that! I have a call in to one of my friends who lives a lot closer... Thanks for the offer. I finally put in a Disney movie, because the channel I was stuck on seems to run commercials for erectile dysfunction ALL DAY LONG. There was one commercial for vacuum therapy. Fascinating, once you get over the ick factor, and then icky once you get over the fascination...

I think we're kindred spirits!

Sounds like shiny new needs to come to the rescue with some TLC?

No kidding...except that I look like crap!

Shiny new will only see someone he cares about in need.

And hooking up is good for colds/your immune system!

I was thinking that the stress of dealing with a silly boy was tearing it down...

Skunky, can you write me a prescription for hooking up?

I feel like a real dumba$$. Are "shiny new" and "remote control" euphemisms for a hand-held, battery operated "boyfriend"?

I am overserved, but Mermy is worse.

Did she keep her clothes on? ;-)

Feel better soon NH!

I'm a literal kind of girl. The boyfriend is still new, in the breaking in period, no dings or scratches yet...

The remote control is the thing that changes the channel on my television...literally!

Thanks!

Today I spent most of the day cleaning out the drama closet. The only thing worse than cleaning out a closet is cleaning out a closet you didn't mess up.

Highlights:

• There were about 5,392,332 shoes. (Most of them were women's shoes...I don't get that.) I was looking for a spare set of cubbies to store them. (We have cubbies in the classroom for the boys' bookbags) but then the IT guy told me that he had 300 wooden boxes that used to be used for computer consoles. We stacked a couple dozen of them up and made shoe cubbies. Worked like a charm.
• I had 6 or more HUGE boxes of clothes, fabric, hats, etc. that were just piled on the floor. The head of maintenance was the one bugging me to clean out the closet--I told him I needed a rack for the clothes. He came through. Today I made up for all the times my parents fussed at me for not hanging up my clothes. I hung up togas from "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." I hung up navy uniforms from "South Pacific." I hung up baseball uniforms from "Damn Yankees." I hung up tiny little bedazzled costumes that made no sense at all. I think I hung up a Peter Pan costume, but I'm not sure. I folded a couple dozen pairs of khaki shorts, and ended up hanging up one pair of gym shorts that was big enough to hold sowalgayboi in one leg and destin scuba in the other.
• I found a box of about a dozen styrofoam "straw" hats. I carefully packed them so they wouldn't get broken and went on to the next box. It held about 2 dozen REAL straw hats. Gorgeous lined hats with beautiful hatbands. Must have cost a fortune.
• I also had a box of really nice men's fedoras. Of course, one had ear holes cut in it because they did "Harvey" last year.
• I also had a couple of dozen sailor hats. I found those silly things in just about every box. I only found 3 of our Washington Senators hats from Damn Yankees. The boys must have ganked those.
• I think I told y'all about the huge box of pantyhose. There were probably 200 pairs of leggs pantyhose and tights. They came from an overstock catalog. I get to keep those, but I left them at school. My lingerie drawer simply isn't big enough for 200 pairs of pantyhose and tights.
• I've never had a pair of jazz shoes. I do now. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in my class who wears a ladies 9M.
• If 200 pairs of pantyhose at an all-boys military school isn't silly enough, then let's talk about the box of ladies hats. They were mostly the little pillbox type. I can't imagine why we had those or the cute little purses that went with them. I guess they're for all the girls who will wear the shoes and pantyhose.
• I have 5 fog machines. 4 of them work. I also have a confetti cannon. :roll:
• Also in the eye-rolling category: 3 pairs of ice hockey skates. I asked the maintenance guy why the hail I had ice hockey skates. Before he could stop himself, he said it must have been for some play. I pointed out that you can't really walk across a wooden stage in ice skates.
• I probably should have thrown away the 4 electric exit signs, the kite, and the pair of really strange looking birds on fishing wire, but who knows when you may need those things?

Every day at my job is like Christmas. Remind me to tell you about my tubas sometime.

It's tax time - so I am going through ALL my paperwork - and found this steaming pile of hooey!

I have always been against the use of credit scores in determining auto insurance rates, but this is the last straw!!!

Apparently my credit report was used to calculate my auto insurance premium and I did NOT receive the lowest possible premium for these reasons (even though my info was "very good" in their words) because:

1) I applied for credit at least once in the last 2 years
2) I had no reported auto loans or leases opened in the last 10 years
3) I had a payment past due in the last 7 years

So because I got pre-approved for a loan (but didn't get one), didn't finance my only car ever, and was late on a payment sometime since I was 22, I have to pay more - even though I have never made a claim, gotten in an accident, or gotten a ticket!!!

Pucking insurance companies!!! :angry:

I agree that the whole system sucks.

We need the confetti cannon for the soiree!

If you decide to get rid of the strange birds on wire - dibs!

We would have to find eco-friendly confetti, and figure out how the darned thing works!

You probably want to see pictures of those birds. They really are bizarre looking little things.

NoHall...your post sounded like Good news, not a rant.

But, I am glad you found this thread...ranting is so 2009!

I'm ranting! I'm ranting! Cleaning out closets suck!

I'm just in this awful good mood all the time now. I take a perfectly bad story and make it sound fun. Really pisses me off. :angry:

What do you attribute this behavior to? Drugs?

I found an old thread about site discussion, but will ask you here.

Do things look different on sowal.com? Brighter, cleaner?

...I can't say clean anymore without laughing.

NoHall, if the wires come out of the birds feet then they are used by florists.

Look on the bright side, you cleaned out a closet and a boyfriend didn't pop out.
