Kasia So this week I've managed to (and mind you, it's just the beginining of the week):


- Break my favourite mug - it shattered nicely on the kitchen floor.
- Uproot one of the plants next to my desk - the pot shattered, soil all over the carpet etc.
- Walk into a glass door.

WTF?! There was never a door there. Not as long as I can remember. See, I operate on auto-pilot: five steps ahead, then turn left, till the end of the hall then take left. And bam. A head on collision with the new glassy door. So embarassing. I haven't felt that stupid in ages.

- Electrecute myself. Just a few moments ago. With my laptop adapter, which I broke too, btw. It still hurts some.



Anybody can top that? Huh? I dare ya.

smetchie | 5729 comments Nope. But my husband also electrocuted himself yesterday. (shocked himself, actually but I'm just trying to be consistent!)


message 3: by Kasia (new)

Kasia What's the difference? Do you have to die to be electrocuted?


message 4: by Kasia (new)

Kasia I don't feel dead.


Reads with Scotch Shocked is just a preemptive electrocution a little "HEY! Watch what your doing!" when you are electrocuted there tends to be 3rd degree burns, torn flesh... your heart would probably need to be defibrillated... but other then that the two are very similar.


message 6: by Kasia (new)

Kasia No defibrillation, it wasn't quite as bad, thank God, but I still do feel a little off.


Reads with Scotch do you have a numb tingling feeling n your arm?


Reads with Scotch spots in your vision?


Reads with Scotch Do you have the urge to urinate?

Yes that, and some chills.

Servius Sextus Heiner wrote: "spots in your vision?"

Err, no.

Servius Sextus Heiner wrote: "Do you have the urge to urinate?"

Always.


Reads with Scotch hmm two of the three... well since you always need to urinate I don't think that counts so I am going to say yer good...


message 12: by Kasia (new)

Kasia That's what I've figured.

smetchie | 5729 comments On the bright side, you haven't destroyed a tea kettle yet this week.


message 14: by Rusty (new)

Rusty (rustyshackleford) | 2198 comments None that she has mentioned, anyway.


message 15: by Kasia (new)

Kasia True, though I want to. The one that I now have is really impractical. It takes forever for the water to boil (poor design) and the handle always heats so much that I manage to burn myself on occasion (swearing follows). So I want the motherfucker to burn. No luck thus far. And the worst thing is - I have two of those kettles, it was a present, so I need to destroy one, and then the other. Life just sucks sometimes.


message 16: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments you could re-gift.


message 17: by Kasia (new)

Kasia I thought about that, but then I would be dumping a crappy kettle on someone else. I'm not sure I can do that.


message 18: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments do you work in an office? take it to work and put it on the break-room table with a "free" sign on it. That's how I get rid of lots of things.


message 19: by Kasia (new)

Kasia I guess I could do that, never thought about it that way...


message 20: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu Kasia! What a lousy week.



message 21: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments Well you obviously have a problem just throwing stuff away so sometimes you need to be a little creative. There is no sense in having a sub par tea kettle around when someone much less discerning can use it.

I KNOW!

I have no problems throwing away clothes though. But I cling to my kitchen ware and books. I have plenty of really old, outdated books, but I cannot bring myself to chuck those :/

smetchie | 5729 comments I donate books to the library. I don't throw away clothes, though. I drop them in those metal containers for goodwill or what-have-you. Those things seem to have sprung up all over the place around here lately and I really appreciate it. I used to have to hang on to them until Value Village or someplace called and said they'd be in my area. ANNOYING. Now I dump them at my convenience. I'm always slightly concerned that there's a body in there but whatever.

You know what I throw away at an alarming rate? toys.


message 24: by [deleted user] (new)

I always throw stuff away. That's how I clean. (Sorry Oregon!)

I can't wait to have kids, except for the toy situation. They're so ugly and cheap and garish and loud these days. Do your kids get attached to toys and realize when they're "missing?"

smetchie | 5729 comments Almost never! That's why I throw them away at an alarming rate. They never play with them anyway. But I mean of course I don't throw out any favorites or gifts from special people. Honestly I wish I could donate them but the laws are getting crazy now.

Sarah I LOVE your description of toys. Amen sister. They really screw up my decorating scheme. Except for the pink retro kitchen set. That, I love.

Welcome back!

Tom Foolery (tomfoolery) When i ran a toy store we had this amazingly obnoxious toy machine gun. REALLY loud battery powered thing. Whenever i got an uncle in the store shopping for a nephew's birthday, i sold one of those things and got a big, evil, shit eating grin in return.


message 27: by Kasia (new)

Kasia That's trully evil, Tom.


message 28: by Tom (new)

Tom Foolery (tomfoolery) Why thank you.


message 29: by Tom (new)

Tom Foolery (tomfoolery) I even had a special sales pitch for it: "do you want something really loud and obnoxious, or do you fear retaliation?"


message 30: by Kasia (new)

Kasia I like that pitch!
