Things that frustrate us all

Cleaned the house from top to bottom because hubby's aunt was going to come over tomorrow (he's fixing her computer). It worked out perfectly, because I have tomorrow off, and I rarely get Saturdays off.

Vacuumed, mopped, cleaned kitchen counters, cleaned bathrooms...and just found out that she's not coming.

Dang it.

At least I have a tidy house.
 
I've had sutuations like that, and you feel all your efforts were in vain.

Sounds like the husband could give you a massage or two as compensation for all your hard work.
 
My wife goes mad cleaning if we are having guests over, it's not like it's not clean anyway but she seems to feel the need to spend hours on her hands and knees cleaning.

I tell her every time our home is lived in, its clean, toilets and bathroom clean etc etc, yeah if you go hunting you might find some dust but if our guests choose to go hunting for muck they can do one, take us as you find us.

If it helps, if you hadn't cleaned the house, she would likely have shown up. Because that seems to be the way things work.
 
Why the fresh hell do all these medical ads have to keep saying "moderate to severe"? Is that some kind of magical code phrase? :lol:

What's worse is when people IN THE ADS say it! "To treat my moderate to severe [insert name of mutant medical condition]". You're the one who's sick, dude. Which one is it?

And why do they always have to keep using actors? It's clearly not for their acting ability, since PORN has more realistic dialogue than these ads do..

Oh, and on an unrelated matter: That fucking "dollop of Daisy" jingle (from the sour cream commercial) may just be the most annoying song ever written. Whoever wrote it should face some kind of penalty, such as death. :mad:

Worked in the yard for hours after working a full shift. Cut down monster -plant in front yard; no one knows what the hell it is. The tree/shrub took over half the front plant bed and then died in the winter freeze. I finally cut it all down, and there is new growth at the base. The roots feel like they are sunk into concrete -- or China -- so I left it there. If it grows like mad again, it will have plenty of room. Took out dead Bottlebrush plant with hubby's help.I was sad it died but it wasn't worth getting another one if another freeze would just kill it again. So I bought a couple of roses that are supposed to be really resilient. Planted them by the garage.

THEN... Hubby tells me that he spread weed & feed so I had to water it in. Watered the whole damn yard-- almost two hours.

Fuck, I'm tired. Everything hurts. And now hubby wants dinner.

There's a Lean Cuisine in the freezer, dude. Knock yourself out.
 
I do live alone, and I NEVER cook. I don't even have an oven.

I mean, there are plenty of restaurants near my house. Why the hell should I bother? :shrug:
 
After working for Doordash, I knew where the best restaurants were. And while I don't consider my status as a lifelong bachelor to be advantageous, it does ensure that my salary exceeds my expenses. So I can usually just order in what I want.
 
Eating out is convenient, but my budget can't swallow that any more.

I guess I'm lucky, the neighborhood bar around here serves GREAT cheeseburgers. :drool: I eat there four times a week. They know my order before I even get to the counter. :lol:

Plus it's a sanctuary of sorts. Great place to crash after a lousy day at work.
