I just really like cucumbers abs now you've all gone and tarnished their reputation O_o
― te,he (tehresa), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link
tsk at you really liking cucumbers' abs.

how ripped do you really want a cucumber to be?
― jergins, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 04:57 (fourteen years ago) link
LOL @ autotext striking again!
Persian cukes are kinda ripped though!

A package of mushrooms had the temerity to rot in my fridge before I used them for anything. The nerve of them!

ytth showed some domestic outrage over me calling him a slob to all of the sandbox, and asked that i retract my statement since i came home from work on saturday to find he had meticulously cleaned and tidied our living room and foyer.

shame is an excellent motivator

it is intriguing to me that every time i clean the living room it is a complete mess within 24hrs, yet after ytth cleaned last weekend it has now been almost a week of tidiness. he's v v proud of the job he did so now i think i will make him clean more.
― smoove operator, Saturday, 8 August 2009 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link
he proudly reminded me last night that EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK HE HAS REMOVED OUR DIRTY DINNER PLATES TO THE KITCHEN
― smoove operator, Saturday, 8 August 2009 02:48 (fourteen years ago) link
you have trained him well! i am v proud of you.

the comment your post got seems "a" bit dodgy.

wow i'm really "proud" of you lxy!

watching laurel iron using my kitchen counter as a board made me kind of tickled!

day and night my house echoes with the sound of small toys being squeaked, my dog is an avid squeaker, sometimes he will wake up and loudly squeak things at 3 in the morning, luckily it fills me with joy because it so rotten. for christmas he got a little blue squeaky octopus and for new year's a little red squeaky crab from the same series and he has been carrying them around and squeaking them everywhere and making comfortable little beds for them and him, and lying down next to them and taking a nap with them and then waking up and squeaking them some more.

there was quite some outrage in my domicile yesterday. it concluded with my landlord shouting at the plumber to "get off my goddamn property or i'm calling the police!"
utter disaster.
― lxy, Sunday, 31 January 2010 17:37 (fourteen years ago) link
!!!
Were you left with functional plumbing???
― jaq, Sunday, 31 January 2010 17:54 (fourteen years ago) link
he was protecting you, that was a burglar dressed like a plumber

sandbox watergate!
― jaq, Sunday, 31 January 2010 18:14 (fourteen years ago) link
oh yes, we have "minimal" service at this point.
we are 4 plumbers, > $1200 billed, and 4 days in, with an estimate for final resolution of 2 weeks, $19k.
thank fuck the landlords are on my side and are dealing with everything going forward. that said, based on yesterday's phone call from the original plumbing company, i may need the services of harblawyer.
outrageous.
― lxy, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 17:53 (fourteen years ago) link
we got a good flashlight out of it, though. sam the plumber was too afraid to go back upstairs to get it when he got booted, lol.
― lxy, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 17:54 (fourteen years ago) link
it's very important to have a good flashlight handy.
― tehresa, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 20:37 (fourteen years ago) link
Good flashlights aside, I am outraged at the very idea of "minimal" plumbing functionality.
― jaq, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 23:15 (fourteen years ago) link
I mean, it is outrageous that lxy can not flush with impunity! This has been weighing on me all day, and I want to go stand there and indignently foot-tap (with arms crossed and eyes narrowed) until those burglars plumbers are done.
― jaq, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 00:47 (fourteen years ago) link
i want you to do that as well (and for someone to film it).
this has to be the biggest domestic outrage ever on this whole sorry thread.
― estela, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 00:55 (fourteen years ago) link
f. and i have always disagreed about bedding because i am a very hot sleeper but he gets cold so a couple of years ago i had a brainwave and bought him a single goose down quilt for his side of the bed so we wouldn't argue any more. harry loved it to death and made a beeline for it every night, and this summer when it became too hot f. put it on the floor and harry ditched us and has slept on it ever since. the other day f. said he didn't really want it back after months of harry lying on it so i got f. a new one and last night was the first time he used it and harry immediately leapt onto the bed and tried to dig a hole in the new quilt and then collapsed and lay around all night on it like a bad baby prince. f. didn't like this but i on the other hand did, i woke up at 3 am and heard harry's tiny regal snores and i lolled and lolled in the darkness.
― estela, Monday, 10 May 2010 23:47 (fourteen years ago) link
you and harry are two terrible peas in a pod, i love you both very much :) <3
― lxy, Tuesday, 11 May 2010 00:52 (fourteen years ago) link
<3 that's because you're a terrible pea also.

would you guess that i have fruit flies!
― spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 19 June 2010 00:24 (thirteen years ago) link
i have been pretty clean too, i just have tomatoes out. i took the garbage out an hour ago. it had old bananas and fruit ends and other organic matter.
lol, did you see what I said on the banana thread about you.

moving house is a domestic outrage. i am never doing this again.
― smoove operator, Saturday, 19 June 2010 15:23 (thirteen years ago) link
we had fruit flies this week too thanks to a crate of peaches that was getting overripe
― max max max max, Saturday, 19 June 2010 16:07 (thirteen years ago) link
we just spent 12 hours moving today, plus making car trips every night this last week btw the two places. went back for pretty much the last car load of stuff and the only thing i forgot was THE FUCKING BOX OF BATHROOM STUFF WHICH HAS ENRAGED ME.
i didn't have a shower this morning, i'm all sweaty and gross and dirty and i have no soap or shampoo or a toothbrush or any goddamn thing.
― smoove operator, Sunday, 20 June 2010 03:10 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i hate moving more than anything. my lease ends the end of next month and i'd like to move but i think i'm going to wait a couple more months at least until it's not 90ยบ every day.
― spite n ease (harbl), Sunday, 20 June 2010 11:27 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i one point i just felt like crying. but i'm a bit of a baby about moving, i dunno it just brings up a terrible anxious feeling in me. i counted how many times i've moved house:6 times before i turned 1815 times since i turned 18
lucky for me, ytth is pretty much the greatest person in the world and he took care of 80% of the moving situation
― smoove operator, Sunday, 20 June 2010 17:04 (thirteen years ago) link
iirc there is some statistic abt moving that gets trotted out regularly--like its the 3rd most stressful event for people after divorce and the death of a loved one.
