Dammit!....Don't trip this breaker!

Good for you! I was feeding the dragons.
Inarguable, when you put it that way.
There is no “inarguable”: there is only a failure of the desire to argue. I wish that would happen in my house more often.
Okay, go ahead and argue with her about taking the 1300 post.
Much good may it do you. (That’s a line I read in a version of “Pinocchio”. Gepetto came across his neighbor lying on the floor. “What are you doing?” — “I’m teaching the alphabet to the ants.” — “Much good may it do you.”)
Nah, if I felt like arguing, I could needle Bill the Son some more.
Welp. My trip to Wally’s was — umm — interesting. At the hour I go through the checkouts, there is usually only one person doing it. Today, I got a gal who was “surly” to be kind, and “snarly” to be accurate.
She didn’t know how to use the SNAP card app so I couldn’t use my $16, then didn’t know how to put $15 on a gift card, and then told me I couldn’t get postage stamps until 0700 when Customer Service opened.
I was in luck...there was another register open, and the manager was behind the clerk. They couldn’t do anything about my SNAP balance, but money was put on the gift card (now my grandson can eat a little more) and the postage stamps were found in another register.
The second clerk said, “We’ve been having trouble with her all night!”
As long as I stood around waiting for the first clerk to fumble her way through not doing anything, the cheesecake began to thaw. So I just stuck it in the fridge.
I got two book boxes and a tub, and will get two more boxes and another tub the next time I go.
(Is this the Second Monday of this week?)
[I suspect said clerk will have to be “re-trained, which could include firing, if this is a chronic behavior.]
Dammit!....Don't trip this breaker!
LOL! The one that runs my stove and microwave could use that.
I lost 2.4 lbs. this week, leaving me only .8 to goal, but 5.8 until I’m officially Thin.
I’m afraid to get Officially Thin. My skin would sag and bag and the wrinkles would rule. I can lose another 20, but the goal is 15 more. Then I will be happy.
Although, I suspect, once I’m out from under this strain, I will lose more weight and my BP will drop another 20 points...
I just hooked up both TVs to the little Box That Does Nothing, just because I don’t subscribe to more than the “Lower Tier” of programming. GAH! It’s “free” for two years, and then I will have to pay $2.99 each, per month, after that. AND (thankyouverymuch) I now have to use TWO remotes for each TV.
Get me OUTTA here!
Good morning - er - afternoon.
Did I miss anything?
After lunch, I took the Offspring to Hobby Lobby, Ollie’s Clearance Barn, Stein Mart, and Walmart. We bought several useful things, including a car emergency kit for Bill the Son. Tom the Other Son isn’t back from his campout yet, so I guess they’re having fun.
I keep wanting to get a car emergency kit, but there is always something I seem to need more.
And a “bug-out bucket” just-in-case. But they are both on the bottom of the list...
Charlie was the only one out today, so we sat and talked. I gave him a copy of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, since I always keep an extra copy for just that reason. He was happy with it! Now I will have to order more. I don’t like to be without extra copies.
You got the Munster post!
Weather thingie says it’s 75 out today and there’s like 0% humidity.
I feel like I’ve fallen into an alternate universe. This is not NYC August weather.
Yes, that 75 is in Fs, not Cs.
Self propelled Kittie Carrier. (!)
If that is required to keep a C rated breaker in the energised position.....take the appropriate steps....Large ones ! :)
A 3/8 bolt is a perfectly sized replacement for an FRN fuse...
And it’s time lag as well. ;-)
And my day just got much better: I went to heat a small deep dish pizza in my toaster oven according to directions, and burned the doggone thing to a crispy critter.
And then, while I was eating a piece of the cheesecake that tasted so good (with a teaspoon of chocolate sauce on top) my fork slipped and the bite ended in my lap, chocolate side down. But it had to bounce several times before it stopped.
Do I dare do anything else today?
I think I’m going to wear welders gloves and face mask when I next put the kettle on to boil....
