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

unclogging an long-clogged drain is very satisfying

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.

Were you left with functional plumbing???

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.

you and harry are two terrible peas in a pod, i love you both very much :) <3

<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.
― max max max max, Sunday, 20 June 2010 23:30 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i've heard that too, but i feel like it's such a ridic thing to put on that list. i mean, it's stressful hardcore for about a week and then it's over.

One thing we aren't going to miss about the place we just moved out of: the rat-infested potential zombie attack tunnel to the parking

aw but won't you miss watching that amazing cardboard hobo palace grow into a cardboard mcmansion? and what about the dude out front with his rocks!
― tehresa, Friday, 2 July 2010 02:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Cardboard shanty guy expanded during June to include a bike storage area!
Drac was outraged last night when he found himself OUTSIDE! He snuck out the back screen door as it was closing behind me, apparently. 15 min later, I kept hearing this very demanding and semi-panic-stricken meowing and found him pacing on the step. He glared at me so hard when I let him in, I'm lucky to still be unmaimed!

quite the domestic outrage over use of bleach-based cleaner to clean the bathroom this afternoon. some of us have sensitive noses, it seems.
― tehresa, Thursday, 30 December 2010 03:31 (thirteen years ago) link
i need to clean the bathroom today. or i need to clean something. also i need to go to ikea and get a couch cover and i want to buy a coffee table (not at ikea) and i want a duvet cover. all of this is making me outraged.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 30 December 2010 13:36 (thirteen years ago) link
i got the couch cover and i feel so much better. i didn't get a coffee table at the antique store but i did get another bookshelf. but i don't know where to put it.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 30 December 2010 22:21 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe you could put it on its side in front of your couch. two birds.
― lxy, Thursday, 30 December 2010 23:19 (thirteen years ago) link
ha, it's a little too shallow though. also it smells like it's from a smoking household! oops.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 30 December 2010 23:38 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean no offense to smoking households, lol
ohaha!
― lxy, Thursday, 30 December 2010 23:45 (thirteen years ago) link
is it outrageous that i still have not purchased chairs to accompany my dining table and we eat all our meals at the coffee table while sitting on the couch while the dining table sits across the room looking sad and dejected, just begging for a party of 6?
― tehresa, Friday, 31 December 2010 00:56 (thirteen years ago) link
the table is the villain of this story, not you, don't fall for its sad wooden tricks.

i am totally, completely outraged and my bathtub and its refusal to drain properly. bathtub, you ruined my sunday!!!

my bathroom sink won't drain but it's my fault for not fixing it when it was just a little slow
