Havin' a great morning
« on: March 01, 2013, 01:05:25 PM »
Things are just peachy this morning in MonkeylegLand. The movers are coming tomorrow to move my ex-wife's stuff back to MKE. She wants me to help her disassemble some large furniture, too. Why?

Last night I broke off a piece of a molar, and it's cutting my tongue.

I'm sick as a dog with some kind of cold or flu.

I just found out that the security certificate for my online store expired three days ago (the hosting company is supposed to notify, but didn't), so potential customers for the past three days have been seeing warnings that the checkout is not secure. The hosting company won't be able to get a current certificate up for 48 hours, so that will be five days that customers will be getting the non-secure warning. I don't think I'll do any sales.

I couldn't figure out a discrepancy between my checking account statement and my Discover card balance, and found out that I have $3700 less than I thought I did.

My distributor had some EOTech sights come in, so I can tell customers on backorder that I can ship their orders if they want. My problem is that EOTech raised prices, and my price wasn't locked in before the raise. I can't raise prices on people who've already ordered,  so I have to eat the difference.

The other night one of my ex-wifes's $5 rummage sale floor lamps fell over onto my still-new-to-me pool table, putting scratches and dents into a section of the cherry wood rail. I can't find a furniture restoration shop willing to take on the job of repairing the damage, and the manufacturer wants $400 for a new 3.5' section of rail.

I have to run some errands, but right now I'm afraid to go outside.

That sucks.

Take a pic of the pool table damage and send it to me.  Depending on what it looks like, maybe I can fix it.  You can ship me the section of rail and I'll fix it and send it back.  I've done things like that for my parents with a cherry and oak coffee table in the past.  Never done a pool table, but willing to try.

Ouch. I'm sorry you're having such a rotten day. I thought I'd been having a bad day with kids pooping in the tub, spilling milk on the rug, and refusing to nap, but I'm feeling much better about my day.

I hope yours gets better.

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'm sorry you all are having not-great days.  :'(






If it makes you feel any better, my day has been real good so far.   :laugh:

I had to go into the hog pen and do a little maintenance. My bacon on the hoof tasted me.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

The darn pigs had dragged their feed trough to the far side of the pen. I needed to drag it back to the front of the pen where I can reach it to feed them. that and I needed adding straw to the shelter for their bedding.
There I was being nice to them and both of them just had to bite me on the leg.

The hosting company's tech support folks say I need to talk to the tech support folks at the SSL company. The tech support guy at the SSL company says I need to talk to the hosting company tech.

Meanwhile, ex-wife is close to finishing half a gallon of wine.

My tongue is getting cut every time I talk, eat or just move it.

This is going to be a long weekend.

Does your ex know any witches or maybe a voodoo priest?
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

It's only 60 degrees here in Key West, cloudy, windy and gloomy.  Woe is me. :P

The United Van Lines truck is outside, and there's guys in the house hauling stuff out. This is surreal.

Surreal, but gratifying in some way surely?  Or at least a relief.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Wow.  Wish there was anything I could do that might ease your burden, but alas, I fear there is not.  At least you're still on the right side of the grass, as has been pointed out.
