I just watched the last couple of minutes of it and cried again FWIW.

Garick,

I have a gas-powered hedge trimmer and always wait too long in between trimmings. First off, they are very dangerous and many people get ****ed up by them every year.
Secondly, the last time I did the hedges my arms broke out with what you may be describing: scratches that look like poison ivy welts. I even took a picture:



Fortunately they went away after a shower and just became barely visible scratches, but still pretty ****ed up. Hedge trimmers are not to be trifled with.

Also, post pictures of your gore please.

27o, yup, that looks like poisin ivy/oak/sumac (same toxin in all three. Glad your reaction was mild.

Pretty sure he invented hedge trimmers iirc.

Cold water and soap for getting poison oak off. Hot water opens up the pores.

V needs to just step up and offer to babysit nightly. Practice for when the SO gets custody of her kids.

You need to use a rag and wipe it off you as you scrub with water and soap.

The deadbeat family has left. I was going to do something (probably tell the front desk/call CPS) if they left that baby alone again.

I tend to mind my own business with stuff but that one kind of irritated me.

Thanks for all the advice!

Tip: You won't hate yourself if you don't read the local news crime stories for the next couple of years.

Meh. She'll be a stripper or webcam girl in a couple years. You probably let society and her down by not saying something. Although, I do know a woman who was valedictorian of 500 person HS class and 4.0 in college with a probably similarly horrible childhood.

Can someone explain this song to me? The singer is saying that someone is "the next Drew Barry[more]." But what exactly would qualify someone as the next Drew Barrymore? Being a child actor who goes on to play the love interest in mediocre Adam Sandler movies?

Does anyone use google pay here? I know that if I pay online I don't have to add a CC. It just goes through my phone payment plan. Does someone know if I want to pay with google pay directly in the store with NFC, do I have then to add a CC first to my google account, or is it similar like online?
09-18-2018 , 04:30 PM
I think you can have a cc associated with it. Not sure though. Try binging google pay.

I can, but I don't want.

Tried binging google play but didn’t even make it through season 1
09-19-2018 , 04:41 AM
Ooo je....no one uses Google pay... * surprised*. Anyway experiment demonstrated that I don't have to associate CC to pay in store small stuff.

Outrage line check please:

At my local restaurant/pub with another couple. We are wrapping up and other couple leaves early to go get their keed. Wife and I are left and each have like half a beer. Table gets cleared of everything except beers.

We are adjacent to the bar on a 4 seat hi-top. Place is pretty full and people are standing 2 deep at the bar, behind the people sitting at the bar. A few minutes after table is cleared and other couple leave, some GUY I've never seen before(I know a lot of people/staff in this establishment) just puts his full beer down on our table next to my beer and just turns back to bar and starts yapping with group at bar.

I side-eye my wife and she looks at me like wtf is this clown doing. We both kind of laugh at how GAUCHE this guy is being, and I say something like 'who the **** would think that is ok?...'
The fact is, if this GUY had turned to me and said ' do you mind if I put this here for a minute?' I would have insta-replied 'sure...', but he didn't. He just put his beer on our table. Paint below, and I also took a pic afterward in case I wanted to make this post. Beer in image is where he put his beer directly behind mine:






So after a couple minutes, he turns back to us and grabs his beer like we aren't even there and turns back to his group. I'm literally right in front of his stupid ****ing face. End of story. Nope, not end of story.
Shortly after he turns again and puts his beer on our table and only NOW, after he already put his beer down, he says to me 'Do you mind if I put this here?...' and I immediately fire back a passive-aggressive 'I GUESS sooo...'
Before he can even process my passive-aggressive reply he starts touching my arm and saying something like 'just want to make sure you don't mind...' and my disgusted brow gives him his answer and he realizes I am not a big fan of this and he grabs his beer and turns to group he is with and puts it on the bar where it ****ing belongs. We left soon after. Fin.

On a Dids(1.0)rage scale of 1-10 how GAUCHE was this?


On a side, one of my favorite parts of this story is now Howard has a visual of me too apply.

1.5, you're at a crowded bar
09-19-2018 , 03:00 PM
1.02
09-19-2018 , 03:07 PM
3 Should have asked first. If he had put it towards the edge of the table I'd say 1 or 2.
