when i went to college i bought an ivy plant and hung it through the struts in the drop ceiling of my dorm
two years later when i returned from spring break i figured i'd give it a good watering by leaving it in the sink, in a different dorm, for 10 minutes and letting it soak up what it wanted
came back 10 minutes later and it was gone
still bitter about this 20 years later tbqpf

our yard and food waste pick-up has been missed at least 10 times since spring. it is outrageous.
― lxy, Thursday, 6 October 2016 19:29 (seven years ago) link
it's outrageous that we don't even have that
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 6 October 2016 23:15 (seven years ago) link
we are not allowed to put yard waste in regular bins but they don't provide pickup. you have to drive it to a contracted compost site. outrageous!
― toadstool might (tehresa), Friday, 7 October 2016 03:45 (seven years ago) link
it is sad you all don't have curbside food and yard waste service.
it is mandatory here. however, it wasn't picked up again this week. outrageous, again.
― lxy, Thursday, 13 October 2016 21:19 (seven years ago) link
it's an outrage. really, who wants to collect and bag the thorny prunings a of a rose bush? this is why my roses are so unkempt (to which lxy can attest!)

the sound in my wall came back so i called an electrician but then it wouldn't make the sound so now i'm afraid my house is going to burn down
― toadstool might (tehresa), Friday, 14 October 2016 00:40 (seven years ago) link
or my house is possessed.
that was weird. did the electricians come and not hear it so they just left?
― lxy, Friday, 14 October 2016 16:47 (seven years ago) link
it actually happened again in the wall by the stove and the only way i could get it to stop was to turn the breaker off. when the electrician came we turned it back on and no noise! he said he can't diagnose without hearing it or tearing the wall open so call him when/if it happens again.
― toadstool might (tehresa), Saturday, 15 October 2016 01:27 (seven years ago) link
it is my policy to be gentle with ghosts in my house, and aggressive with electrical problems.
― lxy, Monday, 17 October 2016 16:08 (seven years ago) link
at least the 6th week in a row our food and yard waste wasn't collected. i got into it a little bit with jermaine on the phone just now. while listening the world's most depressing hold music, i considered the possibility of asking him if it he was okay with me getting sweary for a minute.

a bad little bush turkey has moved into our street and keeps digging up people's plants with it's long toes and about once a day it crosses our yard and comes right up to the sliding door and peers into our living room and does an expressionless little throat gobble and then wanders off again. it's quite skinny and short so you can't easily see it when it's behind a plant. i hope it stays, i love it, but the fusspots with the dead plants want it to clear off.

i feel ok because i was feeling so bad to begin with. tired of reading ppl's thinkpieces though. more tired of the democratic party than i ever thought possible. feeling very blamey and partially self-satisfied but also scared for everyone. glad i never got a job in the federal govt. that is all.

trying to figure out whether i can continue being friends with someone i've known half my life and has been very generous with me but supports fascism run by 'an idiot' because HRC is 'the greatest criminal in world history'
dude is a very wealthy white man living in san francisco. and i don't think i can do it. not simply because i disagree, but because i've lost all respect for him
― mookieproof, Saturday, 12 November 2016 04:02 (seven years ago) link
yeah.
i'm really concerned about having to ever see a few relatives again, but i am also worried because they will suffer more than me if these promises are fulfilled. what do you do with that?

imo the political is always personal and your political beliefs are most certainly a reflection of who you are as a person. not to say that being a lefty automatically makes you a good person, but all right-wing policies seem to spring from hatred of some sort, from negativity and oppression of one or more groups.
trump is so clearly and transparently awful, insincere and corrupt, that if someone is claiming hillary is worse, then i know they're really just bigoted and emails/benghazi/clinton foundation stuff is just a convenient cover for that.
no one needs to be around toxic people, and people on the right are straight-up poison.
