I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sing it, ita. So true.

I kind of like the "People of faith, take a long weekend" message. Almost friendly for a doomsday prediction.

Sigh. Took the car in for an oil change and tire rotation on Wed. before driving to Monterey. Picked it up at 5:30, went and got gas, and the chekc engine light came on. Tried reseating the fuel cap, tried stopping for gas again, light stayed on. Also, transmission seems wonky. Since this all happened after the servicing, assumed that had something to do with it.

DH just called from the service place - they claim they didn't do anything that could possibly produce those effects and they don't even have the equipment to diagnose.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I assume they put oil in it?

(I've actually heard of oil change places forgetting to do this.)

yes, my sister's engine once seized up because of the oil change folks not putting in oil.

[eta: Okay, and the penthouse apartment have free-standing bathtubs right in front of the balcony! So you completely enclose your bathroom/kitchen in a box in the middle of the room, but have a freestanding tub facing a window? WTF?]

Perhaps the designer is an exhibitionist who's uncomfortable with the thought of being watched while eating or using the facilities?

I know people who got a new car from Jiffy Lube because they didn't put oil in the old one and it died!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

We are now 98% confident that the UN Plaza will be hit by a terrorist nuclear bomb between Thursday evening June 29th and Tuesday evening July 4th, 2006

That's right where I am! Cool!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Leah, you sure you can't get out of town this weekend? Like, really sure, because they're 98% positive, and I'd hate anything to happen to you.

If three million degrees can be called 'cool.'

(I've actually heard of oil change places forgetting to do this.)

Or forgetting to put the cap back on. Or screwing up the filter.
