Ya_Big_Tree Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Now even coffee has turned against me. First the grinder wouldn't open then when it did it spilled everywhere, so I had to clean all that up... then for some reason the filter didn't wanna stay in the machine properly and it made coffee with lots of grounds... and it stopped making the noise so when I went to get it of course it was still going so I made a mess and burned my hand. f**k it... I'll get coffee at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the bodum I dunno how to use that thing. Yes I unplugged everything before I cleaned it up, I even made sure the arrows lined up. That coffee maker is possessed.

I bought some small plain wooden spoons just for stirring the coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostGirl Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Looks like my work trip to Vegas is on. I really don't want to go, but my boss thinks I need to attend this conference (and I probably DO)...but I hate to leave my kids for that long. I'm such a worrier.

nettiesaur Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Not so much pissed off as worried sick. A little relative who fell off of an upstairs porch is not o.k, although we thought he would be. He has to have surgery tonight to relieve the pressure on his brain. He's only 2. I'm afraid of how bad this injury really is. I can't go to see him because I'm not a close enough relative, so I'm hearing things 3rd hand, so I'm not getting details...and this was an accident, just a stupid accident.

Tinwoodsman Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have to meet a customer to coordinate a job tonight ... and it's my music night, so I might be a little late to Int. Dim.

xredsectorx Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I was supposed to go out for supper with my buddy tonight as I am going away next week and haven't seen him in quite a while. However, when were texting back and fourth to figure out times and such, I discovered that he was loaded, it was quite obvious from his texts, and he knows that I don't really like being around when he's drunk. He gets very annoying and on my nerves in a hurry. And to make things worse, since he was pinned, it was like he didn't even care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
