Yeah but I still love that song - the YoungbloodsC'mon people now
Smile on your brother
I wish, right?
We live in a smaller community, kind of a bedroom town to larger places that have some industry. There are two banks, both are branches of regional banks. We know the people who work in the bank and they know us by name. Still we use both banks, doing business with just one lets them know all your business, and that is not to my liking. We get good service and feel comfortable with our business relationship in both banks.Which is just one reason why I will never bank with Chase, Wells F., BofA, etc.
I like credit unions and community banks. I can talk to a human w/on all those steps. (Color of shirt is probably a new one they will add soon

I shouldn't complain but I'm going to any way.
I've been waiting for the tile guy to come back and finish my back splash in the kitchen. It's been 7 months. I sent him a message last week and said he needs to finish the job. I haven't paid him a dime and I won't until it's done.
So, he showed up last Saturday. He had put up most of the tile but there were half-round pieces that needed to be cut to fit in the bottom row next to the counter top. He had to cut pieces out of the mesh backing to cut them in half. I walked out to the kitchen to see how he was doing and I found him cutting those pieces out of the mesh ON my countertop. I said I'd get some cardboard to cover the countertop to protect it but he said, This won't hurt it. OK....I guess.
He was done in about an hour and said he'd be back Monday after work. He did show up and he had to put the final pieces of tile under the microwave and a trim at the end of the counter.
Last summer he had installed 2 storm doors on the back of the house that leads to the back porch. The other day when we had a beautiful day, I opened the inside door so I could open the screen on the storm door and get some fresh air. Then I noticed the big gap at the bottom of the storm door. He hadn't attached the bottom piece to the storm door. When he came Monday night, I showed him the piece for the storm door and he said he'd do it. He set it in the corner of the kitchen but he didn't do it.
When he left, I started cleaning the countertop because he had left whatever it is they use to attach the tile to the wall all over the countertop. Some of it was dried on and I had to scrape it. Geez Louise!! Doesn't anyone clean up after themselves?? We had the same thing happen with the guys that did our remodel. I'll be so glad to be done with him and that tile job. I'm going to cut up old plastic table cloths and tape them to the countertop for when he comes back on Sunday to grout. Heaven knows what kind of mess I'd have from that.

No love, I do not get my news from Facebook. I am going through another period of ignoring the news and focusing on the Renaissance and Reformation. Instead of turning on the news, I watch DVDs of college lectures.
It is nice to have an agreement about the awful news shows we have today. Something unfortunate happened to a woman, and at a time when we seriously need to know why students are protesting, we were given this woman who was emotionally out control and telling us how bad things are for her. Gag me with a spoon. That is not news and does nothing to make a well-informed voter. Our local station repeats the weather several times between yellow journalism stories.
I don't know how to get news that should get our attention because it is important to our understanding of reality in this moment. What do you think of the Wall Street Journal? I am so hard to please. I can get the Journal online but I like to hold printed information better. However, then it becomes an ecological problem, cutting down trees, recycling the paper, you know.
I would pay for things online if I could do so with a check. I don't like giving out my banking info and inviting people to deduct payments from my account.
When everything is about money instead of our character and reputation, civilization goes down the toilet.
deleted I need to watch my attitude, perhaps go for a walk on this sunny day. And try a different thread that doesn't trigger my bad attitude.

Vida May, there is nothing wrong with your attitude - and I suspect more than a few of us would agree with that.
He'll probably move that first and say it was so as not to mess up your table cloths.
I saw a Dr. Phil episode once about a woman (poor thing) married to a handyman who had about twenty unfinished spots in her house. Dr. Phil said, in their minds, it was sort of a signature on their own work and as long as a job was unfinished they stayed connected to the home and the people. They must love us, Colleen!
We had a man come and put carpet on the stairs that we kept sliding down. The stairs opened at the front door so I told him to go up the front walk with his tools, but he insisted on pulling his trunk into the garage so he could track across the dining and living room. By the time he had finished carpeting those stairs he had put gouges in the poplar floors that I had babied for years by wearing socks indoors.
We had a brand new house built when we lived in Georgia. After the contractor was done and we'd gone to closing, I discovered fifteen little unfinished jobs. He was still building in the area so I spent the next month nagging him. It wasn't fun.
Hum, you don't know me.
I can be very difficult to live with and unfortunately, I am stuck with living with me for the rest of my life. I keep trying to be a better person and I think I have made some progress but out of the blue for known reasons, I can be very unpleasant, and I am left wondering what in heck is going on? Hum, I guess that subject fits in the subject of this thread. Does anyone else realize s/he is in a rotten mood and there is no reason for it?

....and the saga of the tile goes on!!!!
He came back on a Friday and partially grouted and left. Came back again on Sunday and finished grouting. Said he's be back on Tuesday because it needed to dry and then he'd wipe it down. Showed up on Tuesday to tell me he forgot the longer screw for the switch plates and said he'd be back Wednesday. Came back Wednesday. Stayed for about 1/2 an hour wiping grout but said he needed his grout brush so he'd come back Thursday (today). Also, the weather strip still isn't on the storm door either. Sigh.......

Maybe he's got a crush on you and is finding excuses to come back and see you.
"you have reached SO&SO, your call is important to us. Press 1 for what ever, press 2 for oopsy,press 3 for daisy, ".
by now I am yelling at the canned voice, yes I know it can't hear me. I also know it doesn't understand snide comments. Then I finally remember "Agent", and they will call me back if I wish and repeats my phone number to me." Yes please!" Now I am polite to that damned canned voice!

Dear Microsoft: Thank you for your recent letter informing me that you will stop supporting Windows 10, effective October 15, 2025. I still miss my Windows 95 but that's a long story!
Furthermore, to your following suggestion telling me to purchase a new computer with Windows 11, I have recently read that Windows 12 might be out at the end of this year.
Tell you what Microsoft! Recently I have decided to look into purchasing a new Mac. You can't really blame me, can you?

I'll add to the complaint about Windows 10, etc.
I loved playing the earlier Wolfenstein and Call of Duty games. I'd lose myself in them and it was great. But with the "advanced" Windows, those earlier games just won't work. It really was even more upsetting, because the new games that do work on W10, are just totally agitating to this old man.

I went and looked at a mobile today. Newer. I knew it was coming on the market last week because my co-worker gets alerts from her agent under a certain price range. She got the alert as 'coming soon.' So I called that agent and looked at it this morning when it went active. He had already sent me the pest and house inspection (which I don't think was great because there was a sizeable chip out of the one piece shower stall that was not mentioned for starters) And the agent said sellers won't finish the pest work. Occupant died.
The place was still decent though the sun orientation wasn't good. I did go to the office to speak the manager. She told me that the housing something or other had done a safety inspection of the park and if they find anything with that home, it will be on the new buyer. Example: the shed can't be closer than 3 feet to the mobile. I went back and it absolutely is less than 3 feet and it's a BIG shed. She said if it is too close, it will have to be removed. That would cost a lot of money.
I asked to see the pool. I was looking toward the pool, didn't noticed a step and took a hard fall. Just great. I'm sore and have to work tomorrow. I take that as a sign. I don't want to put an offer. Another place I won't live in.

If you enjoy playing the old classic games then check out gog.com. It is very much like Steam but they do have many of the older games available that have been configured to play on Windows 10 and 11. I've been using the site for years now so I can play the older games. You do have to buy and download the games. I just checked and the original Wolfenstein is there for $1.99.
If you still have the game CD's (or DVD's) and want to use those , you can but you have to find fan made updates for them to work on Windows 10 or 11 and it is a huge pain.

Might want to get your thyroid checked with a blood test. I'm quite serious.Hum, you don't know me.
Hum, I guess that subject fits in the subject of this thread. Does anyone else realize s/he is in a rotten mood and there is no reason for it?
Low thyroid, if it goes on for many months, can affect your brain functions turning you into kind of a developmentally disabled adult or a MEAN CUSS, leave you confused, depressed, foggy brained, lead you to make unwise decisions, etc., etc.
Cheap test - get it checked!

It bugs me when people assume I have:
a cell phone
a credit card
GPS
a flat-screen or smart TV
something other than a desktop computer that's running Windows 10 or 11
