uhhh, ant problem maximized itself over night. gross.

now i'm sort of terrified to leave for a week, because what if they take over??!!!

if I spot your furniture parading slowly down the street, I promise to make them put it back before you get home.

thank you, neighbor!

Bumpy arsed pan makes omelettes stick and makes me outrage

there are baby birds in my kitchen exhaust fan what do I do??

oh god

i think it's time for a jarbl. so many of these little guys and there's not even much food around. also windows are closed.

i had to ask someone what a jarbl was

lol who did you ask? what answer were you given?

lol! just some lady at the grocery store i imagine

i asked a sandboxer, since i assumed the name was sandboxish and might be different in other realms

i was told it's to do with the punishment of fruit flies

alternatively you could've read the thread. in fact, i would recommend it, on account of it's fucking funny.

;)

Mookie, were you embarrassed to ask here?

I bought a pre-marinated pork loin a while ago because it was on sale for $5. I stuck it in the freezer for whenever. Just cooked it and it is inedibly salty :( I am outraged.

it's jarbltime

always

:(

i have another sandbox confession and this time it's almost certainly a yellow card minimum

:(

it's much worse than when i voted for discouraging harbl, which didnt in any way reflect my true feelings on that subject

o dear

i googled the right term and i am trepidatious

so i stayed up and figured out a guitar lick or two nbd right

my rice was infested with tiny ant-like things, ewwww! :( on the plus side this led me to discover that farro is great in soup!

rice weevils?

i cried when i found weevils in my oatmeal.

(i was 6 years old, but i would probably cry if it happened now, too.)

i googled and that seemed like the most likely culprit :(

i've gotten those before. so unsettling. the main problem in my old apartment was carpet beetles which imo is even worse because they like any organic material, not just foods. huge domestic outrage.

a fucking stray fucking bobby pin in the fucking load of fucking laundry i did yesterday has just cost us $400 for a new fucking washing machine!!!!!!

i guess it jammed in one of the holes around the tub, horizontally, and during all the spinning it just stripped the plastic outer tub and then my whole kitchen got flooded with a full load of water.

Oh no!!! So sorry :(

that's the worst bobby pin I've ever heard of in my life.

argh!!!!!

i ask you

yr link has been disrupted

tsk-e bah-a

earlier i heard a gecko doing some clicky singing in the roof, i couldn't tell if it was singing, won't someone come and have some babies with me, or, hey gecks, here's some wires we can chew on.

gecko bro

you could save 15% or more on your car insurance by switching to geico

are you sure it wasn't an ecko

if not, i spose it was right from the gecko

little sir gecko

i might have needed a 15% car insurance discount because--and this is a domestic outrage on a giant grand scale--i was driving home from the grocery store a couple of nights ago when i realised a very large spider was in my car, on the the windscreen, moving towards my bare arm. it's something i've always dreaded might happen ever since i moved to australia because the spiders here are horrendous and sneaky and i always fretted i could not guarantee my driving behaviour if it did. however i stayed calm, pulled over, got out of the car very swiftly, whipped off my shoe and leaned in and whacked it. and when i got home i emptied a can of bug spray into the car and then left it closed up for 24 hours. and then today i sprayed inside the car some more with a new can of bug spray and then i closed it up again for an hour and then i drove it with trepidation but without incident.

i was forever scarred by the tarantula in dr. no

v. proud of estela for proper driving behaviour!

i dont like bugs in my car but the stakes have never been so high
estela has nerves of steel

tbh i'm uneasy about making a call on this without hearing the spiders pov

This reminds me of the time in college i saw a centipede in my bedroom and sprayed every inch of the perimeter with raid to try to protect myself from them. it was really not very lung healthy in there...

my car still reeks of laboratory eucalyptus from the bug spray. i'm not a fan of using bug spray but this was a triage situation.
