I read that Halemaumau is erupting. Hope that doesn't impact DR John G.

DR Rodzinski: Regarding your ponderings about what Americans might say after a series of unfortunate events, you left out one I thought was fairly common in the USA:

"What a cluster f***!"

But, maybe that's more common in the military than in civilian circles.

If it does, I hope he can hike up his muumuu and get away from it.

That silliness was simply a play on words and not intended to cast any aspersions on DRJohnG.

DR Rodzinski, I had meant to post earlier how lucky you were to get a higher than quoted price for your in-laws' home. It's hard to curb my anger at my two foolish brothers, most days.

Thank you. If in-laws had done the bare minimum of home maintenance, they could’ve really made out.

I just had two (2) sunny side up eggs, two (2) slices of Pepperidge Farm 15-grain toast, and two (2) (do you see a pattern forming here?) cups of coffee. Which actually makes three (3) cups altogether, since I had my usual first-thing-in-the-morning one earlier.

I'm not sure who needed to know all of this, but I think I've got it covered for whoever did.

Within the past few days, I have twice seen West Side Story written as Westside Story.

This was in two different places, by different people, and it seems like one of them was by someone who should without question know better. I'm sorry I left the scene of the accident without reporting these offenses to the authorities. I'll be faster on the draw next time.

Be ever vigilant, people.

I'll also call for backup next time.

Rodzinski, you mentioned the house was a tear down. Have the potential buyers asked for any inspections?

There is trouble in the kitchen. We can't fry anything today.

Did anyone ever do anything like this?

With me, it was my mom's car key.

It knocked me across the room.

The key melted in the wall socket.

I am likely who I am because of this.

If I did, I don't remember doing so.

We had a short power outage this morning.....so my computer started updating when I turned it back on.....and that took a LONG time.

I have reset two of the three digital clocks.

I have to get out my instructions on how to do the other one.

My post about the bookstores on Fifth Avenue amuses me, because even though those were wonderful stores, from where I sit now it's not where I'd be spending any valuable time on a visit to NYC or any other town. I'd go in and admire them, to be sure, but then I'd be looking for where all the good secondhand bookstores are.

That particular joy was to make itself known to me later in life.

Kitchen vibes for DR Jrand72!

And as to the electric outlet question -- I think I did that (using what, I don't recall) as a kid, and got a shock or at least a big spark that scared the holy HELL out of me. Never again.

I subsequently got a shock out of a thing or two in later years, but those were wholly unexpected. So I'm REALLY careful to avoid such surprises now.

My mom did quite a bit on a limited income. She had the roof re-shingled and the master bath re-done. Also had the house re-carpeted.

The kitchen needs an upgrade. She wisely left if for me to do since she knew I'd be the one using it. Haven't gotten to it yet, but I have decisions to make on whether to expand kitchen into office next door.

DR Jrand, at first I thought you were referring to our troubles at dinner last night.
Sorry if I laughed inappropriately.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #59 on:** June 14, 2023, 08:19:31 AM »

Oh! I remember what one of those was.

This was probably 30 or 40 years ago, in whatever apartment I was living in at the time. I had something in the toaster -- don't remember what, maybe just a too-small slice of bread -- that I couldn't reach with my fingers, and I used the butter knife to coax it out.

ZAP!

Now, it's just possible that a very slight "zap" surprised the living hell out of me, and I took it as getting a shock. I suppose one could get a shock if the knife touched the heating coils, but I'm not really sure to this day if that's what happened.

That being said ... why I thought I could/should do such a thing -- without unplugging the toaster! -- I'll never know.
