I replaced my shower hose today - now the water pressure is like in England (and let's face it, showering in England is more like dry-cleaning).
Took me ages to rinse the shampoo out of my hair ..... and what I hate most: It's not locigal  (nope it's not the water saving nozzles type)
solved: There was a darn water saving nozzle - nicely hidden and not mentioned on the wrapping. Ba***rds, trying to fool me.

One: I fly so often that the in-flight magazine is often the same one!
Two: I interrupted my business travels to Florida to fly back to DC to celebrate our first wedding anniversary with my husband (Paper Anniversary, according to the tradition), and I got hit by the s*it show of the American Health Care Act. Plus, the weather is awful this weekend. I wish I had flown my husband down to FLA instead. | | | | | You read the in-flight magazine!!
I never before met anybody who does that?
Maybe just cutting out the discount coupons is acceptable?
You know you are flying the same routes too much when you get to know the cabin staff by their first names.

Shazam won't accept my perfectly hummed rendition of a song I heard on the radio.

My umbrella pole is too short, and I'm having to hold the handle at shoulder-height like I'm about to fly away for an interview as a nanny.

I rode a bus on the outskirts of the city and it wasn't electric powered so I had to listen to drone of the engine.

Only 30 minutes left, but we can't continue to watch the Jason Bourne movie tonight because my son has a history project to complete.

My parents are thinking about selling their house when I'd already got plans for it.
