MY HANDS ARE FREEZING OFF!

I'm getting the Evil Eye for quoting Python and the Goons...

Six hours ago, it was 81 degrees outside. Now it's 41.

One or the other, NOT both...

COLD. FRICKIN COLD. Not bad in the morning, or in the evening. BUT ALL AFTERNOON LONG it's freezing. I need more layers.

LOL!

That sounds like Oklahomer weather! 

You sure you're not close to our red state?

My sister (27 yrs old) and my daughter (4 yrs old) are fighting and drving me insane....HELP!!!!

And then in SNOWED. And STUCK. And snowed more DURING THE DAY.

This is South Central TEXAS, dammit. We don't HAVE snow.

And it's supposed to be in the high 60's tomorrow...

Me? I'm hibernating.

Yeah, that was weird! One of my friends is at Rice, and I got a text from her crowing about it.


All my finals are all crammed together. As in, five finals in two days. I wish I had thought about this before I registered.

One of these people has to grow up. I'm betting on the 4-year-old.

Hey Stellina--- you want an 18 year old girl to add to the mix? She come complete with her own very mobile loud mouth and ceramic hair straightener.
SHE MADE FRIED CHICKEN IN MY KITCHEN YESTERDAY AND USED EVERY DISH AND PAN IN MY KITCHEN TO DO SO AND I THINK SHE KILLED THE FISH WITH THE GREASE IN THE AIR AND I ACTUALLY SLID ON THE FLOOR WHEN I GOT UP TO GO TO WORK AND SHE WAS ASLEEP ON MY COUCH (AS ALWAYS) WITH ALL THE LIGHTS ON AND THE DVD PLAYER ON THE MENU 'PAGE' OF LABYRINTH PROBABLY FOR LIKE HOURS BY THEN.
anyway-- I can have her packed in 10 minutes
any takers?

Or better yet--- you come and live with me 

A-babe, honey you love your daughters... both of them

A strange curse has been visited upon me. I was definitely overdue divine retribution in some form or other, but the exact nature of it has taken me by surprise.

It seems I break heat exchangers.  My car coolant has gradually been going down for months, despite changing the radiator. Now my boiler matrix is breaking down and leaking too, and we're talking £1500 (US$2250) to replace it (with an evil new condensing boiler featuring computers and software and other dangerous stuff computer programmers like me don't believe in).

Am I wasting my time suspecting and changing boilers, heater matrixes, core plugs and head gaskets? Is the real problem bad karma, not bad engineering?
How big a sacrifice is it going to take (given my atheist track record) to get the gods back on side?

Once I was really mad and pressed on a car window button and smoke came out of it and it never worked again! Maybe we've discovered an automotive equivalent to those spontaneous combustion people- maybe we're spontaneous automotive combustion people! Stay calm when in cars or ...BOOFAH!!!

Laddie, yer've got it upside down! The gods are the ones playin' the game! If yer gets involved wi' 'em, yer jist wun o' th' pieces!
Yer needs ter tell 'em ter piss off and put yez back in th' Atheist box an' stop play wit yez...
They're well in need o' a guid kickin'...
