Re: More Stuff

Well, I'm certainly having to get my hands dirty now. My dryer stopped heating a couple weeks ago, requiring multiple cycles of the air dry setting and hanging things in random places because I have no clothesline at the moment. I could quickly improvise an indoor line, though I ordered a replacemen...

I don't recall Bud being a nurse before... I guess she's taking on a different career for a little while?

Re: More Stuff

The problem is that it's one if those Nissan CVTs, where you can't just check the fluid like you can with oil. However, your explanation certainly seems to lend more weight to my suspicions. I don't know when dad last had something done with the transmission, but was thinking it needed a drain and f...

Re: More Stuff

After letting the car sit for a while, it acted normal when I turned it on, but I still had the tow truck take it to my house because I didn't want to have it give me more trouble. What it was doing was the RPM would go to about 1.7k or so and then the needle would "bounce," with the RPMs ...

Re: More Stuff

Well... I was on my way home from my brother's, and I was just a few miles from home when suddenly... the transmission decided it wanted to be in neutral and stay that way, no matter what I did with the shifter (aside from putting it in park). So now I'm waiting on my brother to drive all the way fr...

Re: More Stuff

Yeah, it was 15° F yesterday, and 9° F right now. Someone ended sliding on the packed snow on my road and somehow got turned around and slid backwards over my mailbox. Just minutes after I discovered the car sitting on my mailbox, someone showed up to pull it out, and it turns out the mailbox itself...

Re: More Stuff

Well... surprisingly, I'm finding it pretty easy going, living alone. Much easier than I thought it would be, actually. I'm able to keep myself entertained the way I always have, except now there isn't anyone calling me from the opposite end of the house to go do something every 15 to 20 minutes. I'...

Re: More Stuff

Welp, I'm wrapping up my last day of being 35. I made a nice roast that turned out great. I used both beef and pork in it, along with potatoes, baby carrots, and two kinds of mushrooms... it's going to be dinner for most of the week.

Re: Bad Jokes II

I'd share some of my favorite dad jokes, but because I am not a father, it would be a faux pa.

Ah, heck, I got a dumb one for you anyway:

What do you call a wildcat with a balance problem?

A wobcat.

Re: More Stuff

I forgot to mention: I'm stuck here because the rent here has always been $600/mo, and the couple who built it (and own it) never raised it. They said they checked the homes in the area, and the trailer park a few miles away charges $700/mo, and they'll double the rent for the mext tenants.

Re: More Stuff

Well... insurance wrote my car off as a total loss. I'm thinking that I may just use the insurance money to get another car just like the one I had, probably even the same year model, so that I don't wind up having to make car payments on top of everything else. Mom has also already filed a change o...

Re: More Stuff

I'd seen a video of a bobcat taking down a deer. It didn't get it on the first pounce, and the deer kicked it in the face, but it jumped back onto the deer's head and held on. The video cut to later, while the bobcat was eating. I'd also had a silly idea earlier: imagine if someone had managed to br...

Re: More Stuff

Arkansas Game and Fish has confirmed that there is a mountain lion in Arkansas. Growing up, I kept hearing folks say they'd seen/heard them in the woods of central AR, but other folks would say that they don't live in this state... which is weird, now that I think about it. I hear about them being i...

At least it isn't as bad as the time Monica was introduced to the golem girls. Unless either of those girls' girlfriend is secretly hiding in the apartment, there will be considerably less leg-licking this time, too.

Re: More Stuff

I just saw mom for the first time since she got back, sometime overnight. She's leaving again tomorrow, and I'm probably going to be leaving before she gets up in the morning. I'm really not looking forward to the holiday/birthday season this year, as I suspect that I'm going to be alone for Thanksg...
