I might as well read about yours (plural) before I get there

You can always start it on Monday

Looks like it's intended to be the USB answer to the Lightning dock.

That, in itself, is a pain in the proverbial, the connectors are so fragile and get filled with crap incredibly easily. (one co-worker walked over to my desk a few days ago and asked my why I was digging in the bottom of my iphone with a toothpick. She's got a Samsung. - she was impressed when I showed her the navel's worth of fluff that I'd dug out of my phone)

New FWP - people in offices will go from tooth- and nose-picking to iphone-picking.
Okay, it's a bit less gross.

I read about folks antropomorphizing their smartphones..it is epidemic. So, it is logical instead of picking (and collecting) lint from their belly-buttons they moved to collecting lint from their cells.

At least they don't sell it on ebay yet...the lint, I mean. I forgot how much a jar of belly button lint went for, ick.

I wish somebody picked lint from my tech stuff, I don't have any time.

My real FWP is...I gotta cook and I am out of ideas, just finished the term, it was laborious.

I came home to find that one o' the Mutts has committed Grand Theft Cookie Jar. As in, around a kilo of butter cookies have been consumed.

I don't have enough evidence to determine who the culprit is. Hooligan has means (as in the brains to work out the details of the crime), but Heffalump has motive (as in, a bottomless appetite.)

Ergo, Sippenhaft: Both are going without dinner tonight.

FWP: OH is working from home today. Of course he didn't hear, see, or notice a thing.

How does this work?

The jacuzzi bathtub in my hotel room is out of order, the alternative room offered is on a lower floor and doesn’t have as nice a view.

Jacuzzi or view??

SOBEIT · #**4131** 20.01.2018, 09:03

It’s not windy.

I know, I was being facetious. I love not knowing what to cook and just waiting for magic to happen under my hands, hahahah...

Which reminds me - it is leek, spuds and egg soup, white butter beans, egg plant next week, I think. I can't get enough of veggies, my FWP.

And another one - my amazing black cuissardes have a hole.

I didn't notice that. Thanks.

Clementines might be good for me, but eating them does not make me happy like eating chocolate chip cookies does.

MusicChick · #**4137** 22.01.2018, 15:36

I bought 2 kilos of ultra sour clementines and 2 kilos of ultra sour oranges. Now I have to eat them.

Castro · #**4138** 29.01.2018, 21:04

Another year, another wonky autovignette

MusicChick · #**4139** 29.01.2018, 21:17

We started making juice out of the ultra sour clementines and oranges...my wrist hurts. Aside of the juice giving us electric shock how sour it is - are juicers worth the investments? Another clunky machine?
