Punishingly Intricate

Ha! That is ridic, sara. Given the cost of those places, I assume that person has more money than sense.

That is bizarre sara.

Glad the fridge shelf was made of safety glass but what a pain! Also, how annoying to have to find a replacement!

Yeah, the replacement was $65. But hey, partselect.com has you covered if you have the model number for your appliance. I the days before the internet, this would take months and probably over a hundred dollars.

Dang, Consuela. Glad it wasn't worse, I guess, but that sounds like no fun at all.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Dear god, husband is listening to a webinar, and this guy sounds like Wallace Shawn at his most irritating.

Poor husband just said, "I can't believe I'm unemployed."

Well yay internet! To be fair I did the same thing when my microwave randomly had a big piece fall off and break. Was able to order a new one from some sketchy old school looking website for like $20. The hardest part was figuring out how to get it on!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to confess, the lesson I learned from Consuela is not to clean the refrigerator shelves. Was that wrong?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have to confess, the lesson I learned from Consuela is not to clean the refrigerator shelves. Was that wrong?

Hell, I could have taught you that lesson long ago!

ION, I got a filling today that I don't have to pay for (or the insurance doesn't), because the dentist decided after he did the filling that ACTUALLY, it would be better to put a crown on the tooth to keep it from cracking. So yay, free filling? Boo, wasted time in the dentist's chair.

I took half an Ativan before the appointment because I know that that kind of dental work stresses me out. But now I just want to nap. And, actually, I might, since half my mouth is too numb to eat lunch without making a mess.

Seems like the obvious moral to the story, Jesse. Might be best to stay away from cleaning entirely. To be sure.

We're pretty flexible in accommodating unplanned time off in my group, so citing the liberal leave status is just strange looking.

He's an odd duck. And I really don't understand why people pay those rents, given other options nearby. And the construction ain't that great! You can see it in how the building has weathered in the short time, and I've heard plenty about the quality inside (plus, I know some folk who did some work during construction & were just appalled at some of the stupid fuckups & shortcuts taken.)
