Quote of the day
“It’s easier to get it off with your hand“….. said a friend today.
I would have thought that was obvious!!!
Context: was about getting dog hair off my clothing, after I had asked if she had a sticky hair roller.

Yesterday’s weather was lovely. Not too hot, if a little windy. I ate my sandwich at the park across the road from work. I’m glad I remembered my sunnies!
Then I went for a walk afterwards. 3 Things that struck me:
1. Lots of pretty people in the CBD and I hope my next job is still in the city. So convenient.
2. Man chroming (sp?) in the middle of the day at possibly the busiest street in the CBD. Nobody batted an eyelid.
3. I must scream of customer service. I went to Kmart and 3 different people thought I worked there! Kmart staff don’t even wear blue shirt. Grrr
Doh!
You know when you sometimes leave a tissue in a pocket of you pants or something and then you put it in the washing machine? If you’re lucky it stays in the pocket and the load is not affected. But if it comes out then you get those annoying bits of tissue stuck on some of the clothes…
Well…
I’ve just gone to hang a load of washing and discovered an entire (half) roll of toilet paper has somehow gotten mixed in there!!!!!!
THERE IS TOILET PAPER EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I’ve spent the last half an hour shaken bits off all the clothes and it looks like its been snowing on my balcony. And most of it is still stuck on the clothes. Will wait til its dry and see if I can get it off with a clothes brush.
Otherwise I might wash it all again.
Why?
I don’t want to come across as insensitive. So first of all, I hope they still find missing Aussie backpacker Britt Lapthorne alive and well somewhere. But worst case scenario, that the body that was found turns out to be her. At least her family and friends will have some closure.
But here’s the thing. People go missing in Australia everyday. We don’t here a peep about them. No one demands immediate action and say not enough is being done. So why are we hearing so much about Britt’s case and not any of the others? Is it because she went missing overseas? Is it because the media thinks she is an interesting “story”? I know having the media exposure can actually raise awareness and assist in finding the person but I’m sure that’s not why the media are all over it.
This is like the case of Madeline McCann, the little English girl that went missing in Portugal. It was (and still is to a degree) a media circus. It got to a point where I didn’t relate to her as a missing person anymore but more like a mystery movie as if it wasn’t real.
At the time people were already questioning why so much attention on her when others go missing all the time. They compared it to another British girl that went missing of similar age and her case got hardly any mention. They questioned whether it was becuase Madeline was froma wealthy background and was cute and the other girl was Jo Average. I think she was eventually found.
Anyway, again I hope Britt is found.
When will it stop?
Is it just me or are shavers being being released with one added blade every couple of years?
Just saw a commercial for a Gillette men’s shaver with no less than 5 blades!!
I use an electric shaver now but I remember using a twin blade shaver before and that did me just fine.
Not sure how much they cost but I’d rather buy two and a half twin blades over a five blade one.
One day there might be a 20 blade shaver. And you will be able to shave the whole face in just one stroke!!!
Some never learn (or don’t care)
OK. I’m still unemployed and as a result I spend most of my time at home. I get to see the in’s and out’s of what’s happening outside my flat. Think of me as the neighbourhood watch person!!
Anyhoo, this morning a person parked their car on the other side of the road to my block of flats. That’s normal? Not if you have the car facing the other way! Yes, this happens to people from time to time. I don’t know what could possibly be on their minds when they do that. I guess there could be countries in the world where that is OK.
The parking officers are hardcore in my council and before I knew it they had a ticket for parking on the street facing the wrong way. That was this morning. The car was there until after lunch and then they left.
BUT…
I’ve justed noticed that the car is back AND THEY’VE PARKED IN THE SAME SPOT AND FACING THE WRONG WAY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What’s wrong with that person??????? I should be a good samaritan and put a note on their windscreen or something. Or maybe after they get their second ticket they will learn.
Vegie of the moment
I’m into Brussels Sprouts at the moment!. Just boiled for a few minute and have it with a bit of salt and pepper or mayo. Yum!!!
I love the texture of them. Biting into the many layers of leafy bits.
And they’re good for you!
Some people have way too much time on their hands!
Very cool though
Engrish!!
This is one of the funniest Engrish entries I’ve seen in a long time. Its exactly the sort of thing the site was created for!
