i just found the stove left on many hours after f. cooked some oatmeal, the house could have caught fire and harry and i might have been burned to a crisp.
― estela, Monday, 22 June 2009 03:51 (fourteen years ago) link
ytth is actually a total slob, i'm not exaggerating. but i knew this before i moved here, so i have only myself to blame.
― smoove operator, Monday, 22 June 2009 03:51 (fourteen years ago) link
If I am ever outraged domestically, I fear there will be no one to blame but myself.
― tehresa, Monday, 22 June 2009 03:52 (fourteen years ago) link
did harry drag the snow peas to under the cushion, do you suppose?
i am vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv glad you did not burn to a crisp, dearestela.

max and i, we are constantly disappointing one another.

our room would have a large dish of jaffas in it.

the dish would be as large as the room

maybe the dish could just BE the room?

Well too bad I was def jk because I don't even know what jaffas are and you guys already got your little jaffa party anyway.
― tehresa, Monday, 22 June 2009 04:51 (fourteen years ago) link
jaffas are delicious orbs of smooth milk chocolate with a crispy orange candy coating, i am confident you would <3 them.

Oh god now I really am jealous bc orange and chocolate is one of my all time favorite combinations.

Also back on topic I am outraged because my faucet water filter will not stay attached and now I have to return it. But at least it is an outrage of a domestic nature that is not my fault!
― tehresa, Monday, 22 June 2009 05:04 (fourteen years ago) link
dreadful.

you must be outraged

is it a domestic outrage if an indoor daisy has to live on a back stoop, i have a feeling it might be.
― estela, Monday, 22 June 2009 05:25 (fourteen years ago) link
wait, who is supposed to be outraged in this scenario, the daisy or me?
― lxy, Monday, 22 June 2009 05:29 (fourteen years ago) link
any flowerphile can fill that role.
the daisy is probably just sad and confused and cold.
― estela, Monday, 22 June 2009 05:34 (fourteen years ago) link
I, for one, am irate.
― tehresa, Monday, 22 June 2009 05:40 (fourteen years ago) link
fortunately for the daisy a plant-lover has just swept into town.
ps. it's quite warm, and has just rained, and i can't hear the daisy crying to be let in, so.
― lxy, Monday, 22 June 2009 05:51 (fourteen years ago) link
what is her name?
― estela, Monday, 22 June 2009 06:01 (fourteen years ago) link
i hope it's daisy.

i think it is sweet pea

can't cut my own hair. i wish i could but it's really really thick and needs to be thinned out every time. also it is coarse. it's the worst hair ever. it's a true domestic outrage.

your hair is pretty, harbl. it has a nice wave, iirc.

― max max max max, Monday, 22 June 2009 17:47 (fourteen years ago) link
i tend to cause more domestic outrage than feel it tbh
ari tends towards outrage, i tend toward outrageousness
xp max, because when i expressed a need for the therefore symbol, you provided it in a trice.
― lxy, Monday, 22 June 2009 18:16 (fourteen years ago) link
we have a general understanding in our household: ytth doesn't like to clean and doesn't really care all that much about being slobby, except for once in awhile, and i am getting more neurotic about these matters as i get older. so whoever is most annoyed by something being dirty is the one who'll clean it. it works pretty well.

my hr department now says that we can't work remotely, despite the fact that all students have been told they have to leave campus by sunday at 3 pm. outraged is too mild a term for how i feel right now.

in the domestic outrages vein i had one packet of yogurt culture left in the fridge and went to all the trouble of heating the milk, etc. last night. incubated in the instant pot and woke up at 5 when it went off to move it to the fridge. i tasted it this morning and the culture must have been dead because it just tasted like cooked milk.

my new thermostat (see previous furnace outrage) does not seem to work properly, but only malfunctions like 1/5 of the time, which doesn't seem dire enough to risk inviting a technician into my home.

speaking on both mrs mac and laundry in the other thread, she left what appears to have been several thousand euro worth of loo roll in her jeans when putting them in the basket the last day and was outrageously obvious about not thinking it was *that* big a deal when it destroyed the 40 degree dark wash
she says it served me right for throwing the teabags in the bin from across the kitchen and always splashing the wall (the walls are her job) but it's clearly not comparable imco

the main light fixture in my kitchen isn’t working. whether this is due to dumb wiring on the part of the previous owners, or bad wiring choices on the part of the current owner who is currently isolated in the house is yet to be determinedprobably the latter

because this year has not been special enough, my sewer line is now backed up. (luckily caught before my basement totally flooded). 🥴
― toadstool might (tehresa), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 20:31 (three years ago) link
sorry t, the whole world is like a backed up sewer line but that doesn’t make a domestic outrage not outrageous.

ugh, so sorry about that. I have had one small backup and one that was... less small. I should be clearing tree roots out of my sewer line every year or two, this was (I think?) year three and was going to have it done in the spring except it wasn’t a good timecrossing my fingers the toilet water doesn’t swell from the floor

furnace broken. part unavailable until ????
― toadstool might (tehresa), Sunday, 20 February 2022 16:23 (two years ago) link
this happened to me last month. i got a new furnace a year ago. the control board died and you could not buy another compatible board anywhere. under normal circumstances it would be available and cost like $100. i had to buy another furnace.
― spite n ease (harbl), Sunday, 20 February 2022 18:48 (two years ago) link
!!!! harbl, i am so sorry!
my furnace is like 30 years old so i got a home warranty. they just called and think they will be able to come with the part tomorrow afternoon. that will be such a relief as my thermostat read 39° this morning.
thankful for my sunny porch, as is the dog.
