Cable, On Demand, and Netflix. Nothing to watch :(
Ended up breaking into my own home after I locked my keys inside. Thankfully the bathroom window wasn't locked and isn't too high. And that my fiancé was there to give me a boost.
*giggles* This happens to DH ALL the time- house, cars. You name it, he's locked himself out of it. Gheesh. I haven't had to climb in any windows since I was a teenager. bahahaha.Quote:

People seeing me go into a store might wonder why I`m parked in a reserved spot. However if they saw me come back after doing my shopping they would know why.Quote:

I rarely see this happen where I live...the disabled person being left in the car.Quote:

In the words of my hemitologist: there are three similar cases to mine ever in all of Canada. I was given 1 in 1,000,000 chance of making it out alive, let alone with my leg (which I still have by the way). I am on injection-blood thinners which are typically only used for the length of a pregnancy, but I have currently been on them for 5.5yrs. My leg causes me pain every day...some days the pain is MUCH worse than others. If I fall or get injured I am at risk of hemorrhaging to death and there is nothing that can be done to stop it until I am hooked up to an IV at the hospital that will counteract my blood-thinners. I am 28yrs old and have our 9 month old son with me most of the time when I go out. I am not what appears to be a "disabled" person.
Sometimes it really bothers me...the way that people (particularly older people) stare as I get in or out of my vehicle...trying to assess if I should be using a sign or if they think it belongs to another person.
So the lady I have been kind of seeing (aka... my almost girlfriend) went out tonight for the express purpose of finally letting my funny hands have some action! Packed up a sleeping bag, heading to the country to have a little fun under the BRIGHT northern lights and bright 60% moon. FUN FUN FUN!
However, it seems to be a freak year for mosquitoes, so I never even got her top off when we decided that wasn't working, tried to fit in back seat of my car... that wasn't working... made reservations at nice hotel in Moose Jaw... we drove an hour to town.... got to hotel, only to discover my tire is pretty much flat and so I drive to gas station to put air in it, but it is no use... requires spare.
By the time I got the spare on, it's past 2AM, I smell like bug spray and grease, so we get into hotel room and lady falls asleep.
Shoot! Darn! Nuts! Zoot Alores! Cripes! Boggity Boggity Boo!!! :nono1:
I guess it was not meant to be!! Ha ha!! Darn! Yahoo!! :icon_cyclops_ani:
Freaking neighbors are pasturing 40 cow/calf pairs for the summer again. I wouldn't care except we are on the same water table as them and it affects my water supply! 80 freaking cows can drink a lot of water when they all decide to drink at the same time.

They simply do not need the spot. The disabled person is not exiting the vehicle at any time and the able-bodied rest of the family could walk an extra 50 feet to a regular spot. But instead they seem to see no problem in taking the spot from somebody else who IS getting out of the car. I think that's just careless to other people who are struggling to actually get around and could really use that spot.
No power and no water since last night.
Seems a pipe burst/broke and when they were digging to repair the pipe (for the water) they severed a power line. We finally have our power restored but still no water and its been over 24 hours. There was no warning about the no water situation.
Its really quite surprising to find just how reliant you are on both power and water. No showers, no brushing teeth, no cooking, no toilets. Thank bananas for the flashlight app LOL!
No offense taken. I know what it`s like to not be able to get a spot because they`re full. I have seen people park in them because they`re only running in real quick to get something but in the meantime it`s unavailable to someone who does need it.Quote:

They stink so bad. Their clothing smells awful. Their breath reeks like they ate an ashtray and I can't say a word to them because I don't want to come across as rude.
If you are a smoker and don't think you stink. Chances are you are wrong. Just because you can't smell it doesn't mean you don't stink. Trust me.
