Anyway, thanks.

I've known the meaning of the word kafir (or kaffir) way longer than I have keffir (eta: see? I can't even spell it now), so I'm always primed for that slip of the keyboard or brain. Hope I didn't sound too flip.

Phone: *Hey. Guess what? Ring.*

Me: Aw dang.

Fuckcake O' the Day: I want to talk to a manager!

Me: Okay. What is this regarding?

FCOtD: Me wanting to talk to a manager!

Me: Well, I need to know *which* manager to direct your call to. So, what is this regarding?

FCOtD: I was just speaking with So-and-so and she hung up on me! I don't care if she "can't talk to me", but hanging up is completely unacceptable!

Me: Okay, what were you talking to So-and-so about?

FCOtD: My ex-husband has (issue that is totally his fault and he's trying to get out of it and we've dealt with assface for four days now).

Me: Your ex-husband?

FCOtD: Yes.

Me: Well...we can't talk to you. It's a violation of the Privacy Act.

FCOtD: ...what if I get him to call and give permission?

Me: Then we can talk to you.

FCOtD: I'll do that.

Me: That would be fine.

FCOtD: And I'm going to get So-and-So fired!

Me: Good luck with that.

My bathroom is maybe 5'x6'. Maybe.

That's bigger than mine, I'm pretty sure.

Add to that the fun of having only a clawfoot tub (no built-in shower), and we had to get a shower enclosure so that I could shower in the morning. It is, however, a very small radius, so when I'm showering, the shower curtain is contstantly clinging to my gigantic wet ass, and I want to rip it down in frustration.

I'm hoping for a better solution (I had suggested one of those companies where they turn your tub into a tub-with-shower by putting a fiberglass dealie over your existing tub, but The Boy wanted to preserve the original clawfoot, which I respect, but the shower curtain constantly clinging to me like some weepy ex-BF is driving me BATSHIT).

FCOtD: And I'm going to get So-and-So fired!

Me: Good luck with that.

Heh. If this were a just universe, people like FCOtD would be made to suffer. Lots.

Steph - we have one in our guestroom and for the inside liner, we're going to be getting a shower curtain with magnets in it so that it sticks to the tub, and not to us or our guests -

eta - whoops, wrong link. [link]

Happy (late) Birthday WindSparrow!!!!

Our bathroom is about what, honey? 10 x 12? Maybe a bit bigger. It was the third bedroom when the house was built in 1896, but was then turned into the bathroom when the house got indoor plumbing.

Heh. If this were a just universe, people like FCOtD would be made to suffer. Lots.

I sometimes try to comfort myself with the thought that they are suffering, constantly. Being this stupid means that their every day life is a trial of confusion and frustration. E.g. "You should try looking at things on the Internet." "What the hell is that? Can I eat it?"

Anyone here rented a place in the Outer Banks? The DH and I are thinking of going down to Kitty Hawk in April. Anything I should I know about locations?

mini-meara:

Thanks for the bathroom admiration.

What did you do for the lights? I really like the quality of light you have now, and how that plays off the colors.

Thanks! They did 2 potlights: one over the vanity and one over the shower. Since it's such a tiny bathroom, that seemed a better option than mounting some sort of fixture. They are also on a dimmer so you can have a sexay shower!

My bathroom is maybe 5'x6'. Maybe. If I lean forward on the toilet, I hit my head on the corner of the sink. And it's better than it was before we gutted it and redid it, because the POs had a 3' wide, 2' deep vanity in there.

Ours is crazy tiny as well. It's amazing what a pocket door and small accessories can do! Oh, and taking out a linen closet to make the space a little bigger.

~ma to omnis and also Byron!

I don't mean to mock your pain, but that is some funny shit right there!
