Glad for you that the injuries were not serious.
Sad for the bike though.
Will it survive?
Non-complaint: Beautiful day. This morning I toddled up to the local grocery for salad greens, a big bag of cherrys, some apples and a couple of frozen fish dinners & some toleratable snacks.
Also non-complaint: As I toddled the two blocks home with my groceries, tuckering out with every step,
a big truck pulled into our driveway to deliver shingles for the roof. I'm so glad I'm not up on the roof unloading bundles of shingles.
Age & infirmity has its advantages.
Given UK repair costs and insurers wanting to do the easiest thing, probably not. The bike is a 2 year old 50cc moped, but is a slug. In accordance with current legislation, it has a limiter built into the engine management system, which entirely stops the spark plug working at 32mph, having reduced the fuel injected at 30 and 31mph. We have an older 50cc 2 stroke moped I've had up to 58mph, so it shows how much of a slug the new one is. Regards, Richard.
Complaint: Little dude decided that once the diaper was off this morning, heck no was he letting me put a new one on. Rule is you either wear a diaper or hang out in the tub (no toys or anything fun because I don't want to encourage this nonsense). We've been here for hours, and he's not happy, but zero sympathy. I have about a thousand other things I'd rather be doing, too. Extra fun: the only way to keep him in there is to open the door (blocking half the tub) and then sit on the toilet lid (blocking escape from the other half, and also keeping the door in place with my legs). My butt is so, so flat right now.
We have mice at my home. My housemate hired a specialist to help take care of the mice.
My Mum has a mouser. She doesn't get paid in money to catch mice. Actually I don't think she was ever paid for hunting rodents. I think she hunted them for the joy of being a mouser. Unfortunately, I think she is getting old and having some health issues preventing her of hunting much.
I wish I was the pied piper and could get rid of this mouse problem.
Non-complaint: Wedding went OK, but...: Great weather, enough guests, good food, no fights. But I got forgotten in the confusion until the groom (my nephew) saw my supposed ride pull up and I wasn't in it. They held up the ceremony while they dispatched someone to pick me up. I'd arranged the ride a month ago but didn't have her phone number and I'd forgotten her married name. By time I realized that everybody I knew would have been at the venue, and I didn't know anybody's cellphone number it was too late to try to report my predicament.
I thought about calling an Uber, but didn't know the name or address of the venue.
I kept hoping that my prearranged driver would remember about me, but just 5 minutes before the ceremony was to start, the groom called me and told me that they'd sent somebody to pick me up.
Thankfully, I escaped after dinner and avoided the dancing.
Photos: 1) View from venue, six miles from my home. 2) Snap of of one of the family photo session groups. (Groom in suit on left of tree, bride in white on left of tree.)
Complaint: I was never much of a drinker anyway and now I don't drink much at all(reacts with my meds) but I threw caution to the wind and had a vodka tonic, and a margarita during the afternoon before dinner. Can you say woozy? And my hangover started before I went to bed.
Still recovering this morning.
I went job hunting at a local mall. I only did the first floor of one wing. I came prepared with a sheet to write down the names of the stores and applications to the ones who have online applications. There were 2 with paper applications but I'm waiting to turn in the paper applications to give them the resume.
I also added a picture which is my Home Screen of my tablet. The picture is of my furry friend Oscar. He doesn't want to work because he is a scaredy cat. He rather stay home.
Non-complaint: we went to see the new Superman movie. Very good, everything I wanted in a Superman movie, including a few things I didn't know I needed. Krypto is a lot like our rescue border collie, Gilligan the Ditzy aka Destructo-Dog. Except Gilly is better trained, (somewhat) more likely to listen to his people, can't fly (just flying leaps), & only chews up cheap electronic bits (headsets, ear buds, mice) not super-gadgets.
Non-complaint: the heatwave is over for now. Related complaint: It's raining nearly everywhere in the area except over our place & I am tired of watering outdoor plants, often twice a day.
Complaint: we still haven't gotten new vehicle registered because Husband didn't notice until we were called up by the clerk that he had grabbed insurance paperwork for previous vehicle.
Complaint: Work is more annoying than usual lately & I frequently wonder whether certain guests or certain co-workers would be skewered first if I had a lightsaber or elven sword handy.
I liked the new Superman movie, it was much better than I thought some claimed it to be,
I made a big Sundae on a Sunday (today). Thinking of turning the leftover ice cream into a milk shake for tomorrow. I think I might need a smaller bowl just for Sundaes?
I am tired. Ich bin müde.
I'm tired of feelingblike I'm in the blame game. I'm tired of people thinking for me and assuming that I think a certain way. Especially without asking me.
I'm tired of people assuming that the reason I don't like an answer to my question is because I don't "like the answer". It is usually because I don't feeling like I'm being heard or they are suggesting something tried before. Or basically they don't care about what I think, so they superimpose their ideas.
I rather hear the truth in a kind way, but not beat around the bush. I want to be told that I'm not gett The job or hours instead of being strung on.
Please tell me that the pet died instead of making up excuses why I can't have the pet back. (Other than the pet is gone, of course,)
I don't want people to tell me what I want to hear, just because I might have a meltdown.
That's really rough, and I'm sorry you're dealing with it. I hope you can get to a situation soon where more people will communicate with you in a way that you feel is more respectful.
Also sorry for the pet death. Not sure what the story is on that one, but it's always heartbreaking when fur-family crosses the bridge.
Easy solution: get an elven sword with an AoE magic effect. Something really spectacular to make up for the lost satisfaction of hands-on skewering.
complaint: I ate the entire box of mac-and-cheese
non-complaint: I ate the entire box of mac-and-cheese.
Is there any other way to eat it?
I dunno, it says 2.5 servings on the box, but I call hogwash on that one.
.
Leave out the box.
The ink & cardboard aren't good for you.
We make our own pasta bakes (Mac & Cheese with different shape pasta & lots of other stuff). That way we feel no need to consult 'know-nothing-about-us's about portion sizing. Basically the portion size is based on answering a simple question, and the question is 'How hungry are we?'.
Did a blackberry crumble a day or two ago, in two dishes. One that answered the 'How Hungry' question, and the other was 'How hungry will we be tomorrow', and was a bit less accurately sized.
Still, after 37 years in this part of the country, I find it difficult to believe blackberries will be ready in July/August. In the south west they used to be ready mid-end October.

Richard
Non-complaint: Defrosted my refrigerator: Yes, I don't have a self-defrosting refrigerator.
Hey, it's a small single door (i.e. not doublewide) refrigerator, but it came with the apartment, at least I have one.
Decided that defrosting was necessary when I couldn't wrench my frozen chicken breast from the back of the freezer compartment.
Judicious application of spoons, spatulas, hot water, sponges, and time did the trick. Although, I had planned for this event a year ago when I picked up a nice foam ice chest for free and kept it for just this occasion.
Moved the extractable frozen stuff into the ice chest along with some frozen gel-packs in lieu of ice cubes. It took most of the afternoon, on & off, but the stuff in the foam chest stayed completely frozen. And nothing appeared to grow in the lower part of the refrigerator. Milk, cheese, & salad AOK. And now that odious task is done for another decade.
And my chicken breast is free again.
Useless story on the origin of the free ice chest: I picked up that ice chest in Buffalo from my eye surgeon's waiting room.
While waiting, I noticed a couple of medical grade ice chests sitting to the side with a note on top that said "Free, take one". So I took the biggest one (about 1 cubic foot interior space). It contained six freezer gel-packs too. (Cool!
Pun intended)
You can probably go into the settings for the browser and uncheck "Open New Tab on Open", or something like that. Or, don't leave the browser running when you're done wth it. That will make your battery last longer.
@NylonGirl: I agree, it can be annoying. I have the effect with an Android Tablet. I discovered the problem doesn't happen so often with 'Adblock Browser', which I use more frequently these days.
Complaint: I probably seriously under-utilise my tablet. I do a little web browsing, and download all stuff going on my rendering PC via the tablet. Since I got the PC working again after a long problem I've had to move it. And there is no access for the LAN cable, and there is too much brickwork between it & the router for WiFi to work. So, I'm forced to have a machine with no internet. Fantastic! I can concentrate on what I'm meant to be doing. As for the rest of my tabled usage - it's almost exclusively used as a kindle reader. Non-complaint: There are lots of good freebie books! The problem is finding them amongst the dreadful freebie books.
Complaint: I came across one AI written book on furniture restoration. Well, I hope it was AI, if not, then the author was even more of a numpty than I am.

Richard
It was actually two goldfish. When I did find out they were dead, I was told they lived a nice long life. I didn`t correct the person who took care of them for me. One of them who was Loki was still young. I think they both were stunted while some people thought they were huge. I was forced to keep both of them in a 20 gallon tank. That is way too small for two goldfish.
I made an assumption about the fur that I shouldn't have, apologies. And having lost some of my own beloved pet fish, I should know better.
I think most people don't know what the lifespan is of your average fish, especially if all they've been exposed to is tanks that aren't well maintained.
Regardless, I'm sorry you weren't able to be reunited.
complaint: Doing reference renders on my characters of all the expressions in a pack I bought. Apparently the only variety I gained by its acquisition was different ways to make my girls look weird and/or constipated.
non-complaint: The fact that I can do this at all is still magic, and I will consider it so until the day I die. And I got some new toys to play with today out of the QuickGrab.
Oops it is my assigned bed time. I want to stay up longer, maybe half an hour to an hour.
who made up my assigned bed time? Well basically me. Maybe I should have a discussion with me. Can I win against me?
