This house is over 100 years old and perfect for enjoying rain on the window. But last night there was a storm and it sounded like the windows in my bedroom were gonna burst. Haven't slept well because I kept waking up. It was real fuckin loud. 😭

As a kid, I used to live in a house with old, draughty windows. Light rain would sound like someone was crinkling a plastic bag. The one time I caught it I was genuinely afraid to get out of bed and inspect what was making the noise, since I was convinced it came from the corner of the room I couldn't see.

Aaight I weathered the storm, I'm gonna go fuck a bottle of shampoo and clip my nails

That can lead to a different kind of burn you won't get rid of so easily.

Ugh I have a piece of rice lodged in my throat in just the wrong spot and I have to poop but if I do I’m probably going to throw up at the same time because that rice has me on the edge now.

Anecdotal I know, but high sierra has been a disaster on every computer I have tried to install it on. Bugs, crashes, software incomparability. Had to completely wipe and recover my sister's laptop. Shit was not ready for prime time. I'd argue the same for ios11, nothing but problems on my iphone. Worst os updates ever.

iOS 11 installed gloriously on my old 5S and iPad Air 2, and then sent my iPhone 6 straight to the seventh level of hell, otherwise known as Restore Mode.

I'll hold off on 10.13… thanks for the warning.

My big horror movie + game party started at 2pm and no one's showed up.

I invited like everyone I know in Boston.

This is my first self-hosted party too.

Oh well, more appetizers and beer for me!

I think the central heating (gas) in my appartment is breaking down

My boiler is making weird metallic sounds, temperature is skyrocketing to the point that an error appears on the display. The boiler shuts down for moment and restarts again and than everything works normally again until shit repeats itself.

Shutting down the radiators in my rooms seems to help keeping those errors to a minimum. But shutting down the whole system ain't an option because it's also heating my water. I sure hope I survive the night without the boiler blowing up in my face until I can reach my landlord tomorrow morning

How did it turn out? I never go to the first hour of a party. It's usually pretty empty.

I've got a friend who tries to ruin her relationship everytime she gets drunk and I have to convince her not to blow up her life. As repayment for my amazing advice she sends me nudes.

Post your pic in the NUDE PICS thread. We gotta see what she's so enticed by.

Lost a filling last night and my dentist doesn't have an available appointment to fix it until next week $:-\$

nachobro · « **Reply #4281 on:** October 11, 2017, 03:21:07 PM »

A big piece of the tooth fell out when I was eating lunch. I think this is now a full struggle

On the plus side someone cancelled so my appointment got moved up to today.

Same for me, I thought i was gonna have a heart attack when i spit out a piece of tooth. My most common nightmare come to life. Only an hour til the appointment, my poor mouth

nachobro · « **Reply #4284 on:** October 11, 2017, 04:24:50 PM »

Just a piece. The original cavity from a decade ago was on the side of the tooth and when I bit on it after the filling came out i guess a bit of it caved in or something? I looked at it in the mirror and it's not as nightmarish as I imagined but I'm still pretty upset

nachobro · « **Reply #4285 on:** October 11, 2017, 04:31:54 PM »

I used to have a lot of teeth issues. Once I stopped drinking sugar soda I've not had any issues with them until now.

desert punk · « **Reply #4286 on:** October 11, 2017, 04:38:31 PM »

Hope it's not too expensive to fix it $:-\$

I've never really had problems with my teeth either tho I think that could change when I get older.

nachobro · « **Reply #4287 on:** October 11, 2017, 07:30:14 PM »

At the dentist I really didn't get a ton of help yet. The appointment I got was short since it was someone's cancelled exam but he looked at the tooth and said that there was a decent amount of decay on it so he was unsure of what would have to be done until it was cleaned out. But he said it might be a crown, a root canal and crown, or they'll just pull it if the decay is under the gum line. If they pull it I probably won't get anything to replace it since its the furthest back tooth on the bottom left of my mouth. So I'm scheduled for the cleaning and starting whatever procedure they'll do tomorrow after work. $:-\$ As far as price he said a crown would be about $1000 but my insurance would cover half. If it ends up being an extraction, it'll be free for me, and like $35 for the cleaning.

On the positive side he took a look at the rest of my teeth and those are all healthy with no issue, so once I get this one fixed up I'll be as good as new.

It had more to do with what was in the email and not so much the blue light coming off of my screen.

edit: Also, as a graphic designer, using flux is very counter productive.

Atramental · « **Reply #4291 on:** October 12, 2017, 10:21:12 AM »

I was going to explain why switching back and forth didn't work out for me (after using flux for more than a week) but I have better things to do with my time than arguing with a 30 y/o virgin on a video game forum that bases his self worth on likes.

Or maybe I'm just irritable due not getting any fucking sleep.

You ain't gotta tell me. I had to pick a relative up from the airport at midnight and was up with tooth pain most of the rest of the night. Luckily for me my boss is out for the rest of the week. Of course my reward for surviving the work day is someone drilling in my mouth for an hour $:-\$

Takuan · « **Reply #4295 on:** October 12, 2017, 04:09:31 PM »

I'm picking up my new ride Saturday morning, but have to drop my current lease off at another dealership. Apparently, I have to make an appointment for this but the lease manager hasn't called me even though I left a voice message. I bet he doesn't even get in until the afternoon, or doesn't work Saturdays.

I guess I could just pick up the new whip and drop the old one off afterward, but that's a change to my vision. This day is the worst. $:-\$

Actually, I can't do that since I need the plates from the current car. THE WORST!

God I swear Phoenix is one of the worst airports ever. Even San Diego at least has one decent terminal. There's nothing good about PHX.

Somehow lost my drivers license. Found out when trying to order a beer at a local brewery.

Valkyrie · « **Reply #4298 on:** October 13, 2017, 02:28:42 AM »

You got carded for beer? Do you look like a baby?

Mupepe · « **Reply #4299 on:** October 13, 2017, 07:59:08 AM »

A lot of places here card as a regular policy no matter what. I still get carded at a lot of places and they barely look at it. Just for show because when I was 17 I was able to buy beer without getting carded because I looked much older. Police have really cracked down on it.

Valkyrie · « **Reply #4300 on:** October 13, 2017, 09:07:36 AM »

When I had my first job (at a grocery store, which sells beer/light stuff you can drink when you're 18+) I carded a woman who turned out to be 35. She said it was the best day of her life. Probably still talks about it.

Huff · « **Reply #4301 on:** October 13, 2017, 09:34:34 AM »

Ha that's actually part of the problem. I can't remember the last time I was carded and had to take out my drivers license. So no idea where or when I might have lost it.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #4302 on:** October 13, 2017, 09:40:02 AM »

I got carded to buy a lighter once in my late 30's. That's not even a law.

Some places will card you if they think you look younger than 40. Hope this helps

Valkyrie · « **Reply #4304 on:** October 13, 2017, 10:09:02 AM »

They told us to card everyone who looks younger than 25, but a lot of people don't know this.

I got carded to buy a lottery ticket a couple of weeks ago. Same store I've been going to for years and first time someone told me it was a policy.

Used to get carded a lot until my mid-twenties or so but the last few years not so much.

When I was a freshman at university I was five years or so older than most other peeps in my year that I hung out with but still got carded the most
