Teh Suckz Thread

[Dirili]

Thanks for the advice ladies! I only had a bandaid on it for now. I'm afraid to take it off and look at it... Think the superglue idea sounds good.

Hope you feel better catshem! Being sick is no fun at all Is it in your sinuses too? That's the worse, ug

[knittnkitten]

I've used superglue on torn up cuticles too. looks funny but works like an instant bandaid.

and I understand not knowing how to progress on stuff or what to do next. I feel like I have too many personal projects like knitting and wanting to sew some ren garb, but then feel bad if I don't work on the comics, but I don't know how to progress on them. I should prolly get a website set up for them, but I'm terrible at that, and advertising it to get traffic. also something I'm terrible at.

Since superglue was originally developed to be used by field surgeons in the military, I'm not surprised.

My suck is more minor, petty bitching than genuine suck. My cellphone screen has been cracked for months, but I'm a cheap nitwit, in love with my outdated technology, and keep putting off buying a new one. I love my old phone, the screen itself still works, and all the functions of the phone still work, but it is rather obsolete, as I mentioned. I've been searching for something newer that I like just as much, but so far, no luck. Til then, I've been trying to keep the screen from falling apart with a screen protector.... but this screen protector is now peeling, and I keep asking my man to grab another one from his job, and he keeps forgetting.

And the neighbors keep parking on our front lawn and it's getting old. We FINALLY got grass to start growing in the sugar sand... and now they're running over it.

Nothing like a good neighbor eh? Ours used to grow pot in their attic.

Would it work if you roped off that portion of the front yard with stakes and red ribbons? Put out some straw to make it look like official grass growing? Blow their car up with a Moltov cocktail? It would kill the grass but it would get rid of the car. hahahaha

Unfortunately, I think the law frowns on destruction of property...

We have an orange traffic cone that our old roommate hijacked from some abandoned construction zone, and spray-painted "LOL" on it (predictably enough, it was dubbed the lawlcone forever after) that I tried putting in the yard.... they MOVED it. And they are college kids, so I'm willing to bet putting a sign up that says "Please do not park in our yard" they would feel the need to go tit-for-tat with us.

Maybe times have I thought about keying the sides of the car, but that falls into the category of "if people could read my mind, I'd get punched in the face a lot" and, much like pushing certain people down flights of stairs, or running them over with a tank, are things that would not actually be done.

The other neighbor's dogs just had puppies (the white trash ones) and even though I despise the owners, I do find it funny that all but one of the seven puppies looks just like their father, whose name is Koopa... and so I've taken to calling them "Koopa troopas" in my head. I just wish the idiots would care for them and not let them yip and whine at all hours of the morning.

Can I go back on vacation to New Mexico?

-whine whine-

-turns the thread back over to people with REAL problems-

Can you brick-edge the yard? With the corners up--





Or this way, if you think it needs to be sturdier.

[DollyKim]

And for the dogs take a video of them barking at odd hours or for long hours and you can start a case to make them pay money for the depreciated value of the enjoyment of your home. I've seen a few cases like that on TV court shows where people have been forced to pay up for letting their dogs drone on.

With Halloween coming can you decorate your lawn with pointy tire popping things? That brick idea looks nice, what about bringing home some big rocks? A few that are too tall to drive over and spaced so you can't drive in-between might work.

[knittnkitten]

I vote for sharp things.

[coloredimage]

I like VV's idea; it looks like you're just making your yard look nice, but stopping them from driving up on to your lawn.


Minor suck, more pain. I came home from a meeting on Tuesday with a bad headache that has mostly gone away but is still in the back of my neck as a tension headache, partially because it just hasn't gone away, and partially because my shoulder seized Tuesday night/Wednesday morning so it's just residual pain there. I can deal with that, but now I woke up with a bruised rib, no idea what I did or how I did it, or if it's actually the rib. If it doesn't go away tomorrow I'll call my doctor, but I wish I knew how I always manage to completely hurt myself all the time.

I suppose this is a suck for the dog, we might have to take Tater pup, or Guinness, back as their new owners are realizing that it's too much for them and no one wants to adopt because they think the boys have Pit Bull in them. If one of the boys does come back we'll look for a home and undo any bad habits he might have picked up.

I'm supposing Tater looks just like his daddy now, the daddy who killed off half of the dog poisoning neighbor's chickens, so I'd be a bit worried. Not my choice to make but if I see him again I'll wubs him.
