because this year has not been special enough, my sewer line is now backed up. (luckily caught before my basement totally flooded). 🥴

sorry t, the whole world is like a backed up sewer line but that doesn’t make a domestic outrage not outrageous.
― estela, Thursday, 23 July 2020 00:34 (three years ago) link
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

our new neighbour, who has a shaved head and bold tattoos and rides a harley, used his leaf blower six times yesterday and then again this morning. wtf. what a fusspot. it’s the worst sound in the world. also he just started it up again right now while i was mid-complaint.

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.
― toadstool might (tehresa), Sunday, 20 February 2022 20:35 (two years ago) link
sorry to hear about the furnace woes. I hope things are up and running now!

never in my life have i gone to a neighbour’s house for a nice afternoon visit and then when they weren’t looking sneaked upstairs and peed on their hallway carpet, but that’s exactly what the little dog from next door just did and then she had the cheek to seem glum and bored during the cleanup
― estela, Sunday, 15 May 2022 03:46 (two years ago) link
she loves you deeply, sort of a “you break it, you buy it” mentality

cheekiness is on a spectrum with godliness

need to make an office jarbl! add your pro tips here.
― toadstool might (tehresa), Wednesday, 31 August 2022 20:20 (one year ago) link
i have given up on jarbls and now use a sticky window thing to keep the fruit flies at bay. it is kind of gross and leaves glue on the window but it works for any type of fly.
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 21 September 2022 11:49 (one year ago) link
also, after years of having an annual unannounced House Fly Week where tens of house flies appear out of nowhere, this year i had like 5 house flies total? not sure why; it is a mystery
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 21 September 2022 11:51 (one year ago) link
5 all summer, i mean. house fly week was canceled.
there have been so damn many flies this year! and multiple varieties that i’ve never had invade my house before

i can’t turn the gas stove on in this apartment. i know how to, it is functioning, jergins can do it, i have turned gas stoves on in other places, but i just can’t make it stay lit. i even watched a fucking youtube video on how to turn on a gas stove. so if i want to cook anything, i have to get jergins to turn on the stove. if he isn’t home, i am not cooking.
i am outraged to the point of resignation.
― lxy, Tuesday, 15 August 2023 11:25 (nine months ago) link
this is dreadful behaviour from your gas stove, i am outraged too
― estela, Saturday, 19 August 2023 07:13 (nine months ago) link
hope jergins is not lording his gas power over you
so to speak
