I called the vender and they talked me through the easy stuff. No go. I have to have an appointment, and I don't know when that will be. So I'm taking the push chair to work tomorrow. Which might properly belong on the workout thread...

fuck

Sorry i'm not there to help.. I can fix damn near anything..
Brings to mind, Rascal {scooters) went tits up.. The company that bought the part division is not authorize to sell medical equipment.. So this guy brings me a Rascal with a short in the wiring harness.. I can't buy a new harness. So take it apart, strip it to the short, shrink wrap it nice and new like and put the fucking thing all together.. Three hours labor..I don't charge for helping some one out.. But look out if you have to take a scooter to a shop.. For some reason shops have this $600 price for anything..

FUCK!!! I AM SO FUCKING PISSED RIGHT NOW!! I dont even want to re typed what happened so here is what i put on facebook

Dear Girl working at the counter at Caseys. It is none of your fucking buiness how much I eat or how much pop I want to drink. When I bring 3 slices of pizza up to the counter and you ring me up and and you say " Are you going to eat all of that?!" You are SO lucky I did not jump across the counter and punch you out right there. I played nice and said yeah while looking down at my money. Then when I set 2 can of pop up there and you ask "are those both for you" I just about lost it. It is none of your damn business and I pay your damn wages with those 3 pieces of pizza I bought. GO FUCK YOUR SELF. I will be calling your manager in the morning. You NEVER insult your customer like this. And she knows I am a regular in there. NOT OK!




FUCK YOU CUNT!!!!

damn, when people pry, eh? Especially when you're over-tired and everything - it just piles on. Yeah, it's none of her business. Enjoy the pizza and the pop! Forget the bitch.

I hear you. I've done the running around thing - the moment you stop, you're absolutely ravished - and no energy to cook.

Wow what a judgy bitchy thing to do. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Back in the day as a manager I would have fired someone for that shit. What has happened to customer service in the last 20 years? No one has manners anymore. Hugs TG.

Tips on fucking you future self:

Head over to Burning Man's forms page and click "Art Installation Questionnaire" before noon PDT today. Fill out the form. Now you have to bring something to the Playa or else you're a total dick.

P.S. "Lonely Lamppost" is a full-scale solar-powered mock-up of a rural street light that identifies the intersection of two seldom-used roads named for their respective termini. The roads will depend on the placed location but will be straight-line connectors between two pieces of art, at least one in deep playa (e.g. "Temple of Juno-Otic Oasis Road").
May your deeds return to you tenfold,

FUCK...Sometimes fire is NOT good.

This is posted on the FB Reno Burners group by Nefarious Grin. I keep in touch there so I can have an idea what my Reno friends are up to. Many of you will know BOBNOXIOUS from Tribe too. I can't imagine how they are dealing with this tragedy. Especially with losing their pets and chickens too. Be forewarned that the PayPal link doesn't work (or hasn't for me) so I'm trying to get more information on that. If you live in the area though, see if there's a little something you can do to help out. BOBNOXIOUS is a resourceful fella and they'll get through this but the initial shock calls for a lil' burner love.

Our infamous friend Bobnoxious and his wife Noel are hereby the recipients of the FUCK YER DAY award by the GODS of Fire. The house he built caught fire on Monday afternoon. His family no longer gets to "come home" in the traditional sense. Their pet dogs, Sid and Howie also perished (RIP), along with some chickens. Enter, 'stages-of-grief.'
It's gonna be a circus for our friends, and they're gonna need some community love.
Their four sons are (I think...) 15, 13, 11, and 18 months. I'll try to get Bob and Noel's clothing sizes posted too.
They'll be able to receive your assistance at:
3980 Neal Road, Reno, NV
(East side of Neal, North of Peckham, South of Moana, across from the Boys & Girl's club/community center, and behind the blue painted El Paison Mexican grocery store, unit 19). In case they're not at this unit, please call me first before heading over. I'll give you the "combination" to get in.

---------------- I'm at (775) 843-3430 ------------------

They currently have:
A working fridge, pots and pans, dishes/plates, rice cooker, and some toiletries.

Here's some things they'll need: (Think Maslow's hierarchy of needs)
Food and drinking water (fresh fruits and vegetables, casseroles, etc), clothes and bedding, furniture, crock pot, toaster oven, coffee pot, cups/glasses/utensils. They'll also need lots of healing conversations, and reassuring hugs. Occasional diversions and entertainment for the kids, as well as for Bob & Noel. There's gonna be a lot of empty space to fill. Schedules and routines have been shuffled into the air.
Bob's phone has been non-stop calls and texts with offers of assistance. Though he really appreciates the love, Bob needs to be on task to help his family focus. He also has to deal with the bullshit of insurance lawyers and NVEnergy reps. (I think I'd rather have root canal surgery).
Call me, and keep an eye on follow up posts to learn how, when and where you can help. Thanks you filthy hippies. FYD. ;)

FIRE can hurt those closest to us. Burners can help make it right.

I lost my second job which was providing a lot of the extra income I was going to use to supplement my upcoming vacation & first journey to Burning Man...
I'm scrambling to find something else and scraping to save every penny (literally, I have a plastic pint glass next to my bed full of loose change)
Been really stressed out lately and I can't seem to shake it.
But I'm not giving up.

But I get a really good sense that you'll be okay, Piehole. You're flexible and creative. You'll make it.

siiiiiiiiigh I know, and I have an inkling that a second promotion at my primary job is on its way, but not until at the earliest, Fall and at the latest, next Spring.
I'm contemplating running up the credit card but at the same time I know that's foolish. But I am somewhat of a fool, so that might just sound like a great idea :twisted:

Fuck. Just got back from the clinic. Dr. Andrea looks harried and worried. She wants to see me back wednesday. She called an ambulance but changed her mind. She wants me to reduce the Corgard. My blood-pressure was 127/76 two hours after taking my meds, but my heart-rate was only 45 beats a minute. She thinks I might need a pacemaker. She is making an appointment for me to see a cardiologist in the clinic. We wil see. She asked me to take a hot bath and wear clean clothes to the cardiologist. WTF ?

Fuck, Oldguy.

There's a health reason for the bath recommendation - I don't know why but I'm thinking the water temp will stimulate your heart rate. Give it a shot.
