So yesterday I went to go fix a drawer with some super glue. I wasn't really thinking things through- and the stuff was a lot more liquid than I realized, so it started dripping on the floor after I applied it to the corner of the drawer. Insta panic, because now the cats are going to try and eat it or some dumb ****, so I panic and shove cats away and in whatever I did managed to get super glue all over my hands, but worse splashed a little bit on my glasses.

So now I have this one dot of super glue on the bottom of my lens. It took me hours to notice, so it's not super distracting, but now that I know it's there, it's driving me nuts. The internet tells me that just soaking in water might do the trick, but anybody have any better suggestions?

Have a feeling this is what finally motivates me to get new frames.

nail polish remover is supposed to remove super glue

Surprised how little stopping power the bat seemed to have, and don't understand why they attacked the guy one by one like they were movie bad guys or something.

Yeah acetone works but on glass soaking should be fine because superglue doesn't bond to glass very well.

I did more reading, nail polish remover also rapes plastic glasses frames.

I actually just managed to scrape it off with my fingernail. NOT SO ****ING SUPER NOW, ARE YOU GLUE BITCH?

Is it just me or did the guy filming sound like he was getting off to it?

i found it very gratifying to watch a bunch of dbags get hit with a baseball bat

Dids, I'd try a bamboo skewer and if that didn't work a razor blade.

hahaha so true.

I would be doing this

can't wait for the anal history!

I have had more surgeries and medical procedures done in my lifetime than I can remember, but I have never felt worse than I do about one coming up.

This Friday my mother will have one of her fingers amputated due to a combination of Scleroderma https://health.google.com/health/ref/Sclerodermaand Raynaud's https://health.google.com/health/ref...99s+phenomenonand there isn't a damn thing I can do to prevent it. They have performed a couple of surgeries in the past few months trying to increase blood flow to the area and save it, but it just keeps getting worse. She called the doctor this morning to set up the surgery because she just can't take the pain anymore and wants it removed.

I know we all lose our parent's eventually, and that she isn't actually dying, but having to seriously consider my parent's mortality for the first time is really hitting me a lot harder than i ever thought it would. I just hope that when this is over and done with she can return to being some semblance of the strong, fun-loving, independent woman, she has always been.

I don't know what the point of this post is other than to let me vent, so thanks for letting me do so here.

good luck and good health to her

my dad has reynaud's

primary though, so no pain

still pretty crazy though

Given the crap camera work and tons of shaking...

For Tony_P:

This calculus book from 1910 is supposed to be very good and very hilarious. And it's very free. Enjoy!

NB: There supposedly has some slightly odd pre-decimal currency notation, but there is a version that was updated in 1998, but it is also supposed to be much longer.

Calculus Made Simple

My Dad had a milestone birthday this past weekend which has me pondering the same thing. I realized recently that I talk to them about "old people" without considering that the persons being discussed are essentially the same age as my parents. My folks have held up better than others their age until this point.

I can't imagine life without either of them. The thought is terrifying.

I'm sure your Mom will come through with flying colors and the relief from pain should do her a lot of good.

It's amazing how consistently it's true that if someone puts /thread at the end of their post, the stuff that precedes it is just totally ******ed and about as far as it's possible to be from being thread-ending.

Dude, 2-3 years ago my mom started talking about how peaceful death sounds. She just wants to be done with it all. I have no freaking idea if she's suicidal or just plans to tough it out or if it's just a ploy to get me to call her/visit her more or what but it's just a constant struggle now trying to remind her of all the good stuff she has in her life but the topic manages to come up every time I see/talk to her.

christ, i just watched a girl take about 7 passes trying to parallel park her car, when there was 2 open front spaces.

and then i just watched a lady get picked up by her husband, wave him forward a foot. wtf, she didn't want to just step to the left once?

people be ******ed

Thanks!

Not to politard things up too much but Cal's Prop 8 was just struck down by a federal judge. Suck it, religious dickwads!

Don't bother mentioning what Prop 8 is or anything, just assume we all know.
