More bobblehead. Doesn't his head look like it's on a spring?

I think it's cause of how he wears his hair. It has to have his head tilted back a bit all the time cause otherwise it'll be in his eyes, but he doesn't want to look up at the sky, so he extends his neck forward to compensate. That's my explanation.

He must get some pretty good stress headaches from maintaining that position all the time though.

Also, I'm finding lately that if you don't read all the threads, even the non sense ones, you miss out on important stuff that's going on in people's lives.

Do you lot know how much pressure this puts on me to keep up? Don't you know I'm just a dumb aussie???

I heard a loud BOOM kind of sound last night. It sounded like gun shot. I wandered around my house and realized the wind was blowing fiercely so I must have heard someone's awning or something.

Then there were about 3 or 4 cop cars and a bambalance a few places down from mine. I tried to be sneaky and go out and see what I could see, but I figured if it had been a gun shot the guy/gal might be sneaking around and find me and force me inside and use me as a hostage. Which could be exciting or terrifying. I mean, it could go either way. ;)

Then I think maybe a car left the road and smashed into one of the cars parked on the front street. I went by this morning and there is a van with the front driver's side corner panel all smashed, but that could have already been like that.

Can't find out today: our town is too poor to produce a Tuesday paper. :rolleyes:

If a car did go off the road they had be skunky drunk because the roads were clear and there's a berm separating the residential street from the old highway (now County Road 34983479389347598374987348977282B.)

The new sauna is here! :D

We need a pic of you in it!

Cut foot holes and wear it to Walmart.

Only if you wear your tick and go as my date :love:

Nirv, were you replying to Infi?
Was the kerfuffle your sauna being delivered?

If so I think you should apologise for being skunky drunk.

I've never seen a sauna like that. I didn't know there were portable ones.

I am not sure how to react to it. I'm tempted to laugh, but at the same time, there are times I've got a chill in my bones and it looks like it would be really cozy. Is there a comfortable chair in there? Do you set it up in front of the TV and just hang out all evening? I'd probably like to do that. But just look at it. It's ridiculous! I'm so torn.

LMAO Glatt! Steam Saunas similar to this were standard equipment in the old fashioned gyms. This is an infrared dry heat. Yes you sit in it with your head out the top covered or not. 45 minutes is optimal sauna time. This sauna cost $160. Compare to a fabulous 5 person sauna that I may get when [if] I build a new house at $4000. This works just the same and I can watch TV. :) If I want to take it down it takes 5 minutes and fits in a bag.

I think this kind of sauna was in a James Bond film once upon a time.

Why do I keep thinking it's Thursday? :eyebrow:

It is Thursday!

Long weekend for Dead Presidents Day?

Just finished 22.11.63
I think.
It's hard to get the date right in that format. Weird since 24 hour clock was such a logical and easy transition for me.

Anyway, will write it up (don't get too excited) in the book thread.
Just pleased I finished it.

Because it was a (secondhand) hardback and was weighing my bag down. And Diz tries to attack books if I am reading with the duvet tented on my knees. Paperbacks I can hold. Hardbacks get knocked out of my hands.

It was a fun book too. Nice to see King revisiting old themes.

There was a prisoner episode, I'm pretty sure where he is locked in one and the heat is turned up to 11. Maybe Austin Powers?

I'm sleeping pretty well despite my quitting all of my depression/bipolar/sleep meds.

The sleeping sounds like a good strategy in that case.

Moar, is it wise to stop all your meds in one fell swoop?

My mom left her 4 inch clogs at the base of the stairs. I was carrying down the vacuum and luckily was stepping down slowly. Almost twisted my ankle as I stepped on one, falling down slowly with the vacuum and all. I was like, "Oh my god! Why the heck did you leave 4 inch clogs at the base of the stairs?!!?" I was yelling while rubbing my ankle on the ground. My mom retorted that they have been there and that I'm only complaining because I stepped on it. Yes, it was my fault. :rolleyes:

First good night in too long. I could stand more of this.

Some of the shit people post on facebook is just so....annoying? Trite? vomitworthy?

This one popped up in someone's feed today. I don't really know this person. We attended the same school and in a flurry of befriending upon first joining fb, she ended up on my friends list. Her feed seems to be a mix of crystal waving nonsense and anti-muslim humour. Strange.

From the link:

made me spit-laugh.

Not at all strange. Everyone knows the Muslims killed all the unicorns.

My guiding word today is flexibility.
Maybe I should change to looser clothing.

My guiding thought for the day is Muslims killed all the unicorns!?!?!?!?!

I KNEW it!\

I thought it was because they missed Noah's boat----remember that song === Irish singers I think....oldie.

Don't give cats even a tiny bit of the juice you might pour off when cooking ground beef, even if you let it go cold and remove the fat.

Why not?

The old Chinese guy said not to...

I have a coupoe of balls of yarn at my place if anyone's interested. :)

Oh oh oh

I am tired of winter I want to fast forward to bitching about how hot it is! :eyebrow:

Yup. I just got back in from Carrot's morning walk and my ears are stinging with the cold.

Once upon a time, someone posted some pictures from an artist who was painting robots into "classic" artwork they had gotten at thrift stores. I've searched with both the cellar search tool and site-specific google, but I can't find it. Anyone know where it is?

I remember monsters/dinosaur, not robots......

nice find, bruce.

Clod-thinking of investing in art? I'm just wondering why you'd think of that. I hate dystopian landscapes. You like?

No no, I just discovered that an old friend of mine does the exact same thing, and I was thinking it might have been his paintings that I remembered being posted here so long ago. I had been thinking it was an IoTD, but it was probably the link that Bruce posted, in the "cool links" thread or something. My friend's paintings are not full of destructive laser-eyes like the ones in the link, they're mostly like a giant robot sitting under a tree contemplating a flower, that sort of thing.

Robot contemplating a flower is better...but I'm still pretty anti-robot.

I remember seeing those paintings too. I thought they were clever.

Tampa on boil water warning because a squirrel chewed through a powerline at the water treatment plant. I have to keep reminding myself not to drink tap water.

Choco, you're lucky it was only a squirrel problem.

The Bobblehead Strikes Again.

Maybe it's the crappy hair cut. There is just something so 'off' about him. Like those monkeys who play the Olsen girls: little tiny bodies and big giant floppy heads.

I'll be here all week. Try the caviar in your Oscar Gift Bags.

this is one of those problems that solves itself. don't bother worrying about remembering to boil the tap water first. If you forget and drink some unboiled tap water, you'll be reminded later. Problem solved.

Here's one for the ladies.

How many here have been stuck at home for one reason or another (mine is because Eva is crook) and found they're out of tampons, so have gone through every handbag, drawer, travel bag and even the car console, in order to build up a stash to last for a day or two?

Is it just me, or are we all idiots?

Nope.
Implant, baby, that's the way to go.

But I do get your pain. Have been the same way with migraine meds. Literally crawling round the house in pain and hurt, barely able to see, pawing in potential hidey-holes and finally accepting I am simply going to die.
Or going away without coldsore cream - feeling that tingle and knowing I have no other option but to let it bloom like the cankerous flower it is.

Yeah, I'd like to raise my fist in solidarity, but I haven't had a period in almost 4 years now. I've dug around the house like that for Q-tips though. Can't deal with the inside of my ears being wet.

How does that happen? The amenorrhea, not the wet ears.

I have an IUD. The doctor said it's about 50/50 whether periods will continue or stop altogether while it's in there.

And I have a contraceptive implant that is good for three years.
You can feel it underneath the skin - I don't tend to as it makes me feel a bit queasy, but if anyone questions me I let them feel it.

It's not suitable for every woman, and some have to have it taken out for excessive bleeding. Me? I lucked out. No blood for ?six? years now. Just two little scalpel marks on my upper arm.

Oh yeah, I forgot the excessive bleeding can be a side effect too. I bled lightly for six weeks straight when it first went in, but then it stopped. Have an appointment to get it removed* next month, so we'll see what kind of deluge follows that...


*Not for purposes of impregnation, for those who might be worried. Mr. Clod's had a vasectomy, and I figured there's no reason to have a plastic object inside me if it's not necessary.
