Thread for Things That Made You Frown Today

Would have thought you'd have had ample experience installing and removing batteries from hand held devices.

You'd think, right?!

Ha ha ha. Most of the state parks in the Carolinas are quite fine and a cabin on the beach sounds really nice right about now though.

I'm not even kidding. You know that scene in Labyrinth where Sarah eats the peach and ends up in the Junk Lady's recreation of her room and she's trapped and there's all this shit all around her trying to keep her trapped? That's how I felt. I don't get claustrophobic and that store made me so uncomfortably claustrophobic. It was the worst. It felt like being trapped in a depressing episode of Hoarders.

I guess I could have used my phone but it still made me laugh.

Noob! All you'd have to do is hit ctrl-escape or the windows key to bring up the start menu which you can then navigate to your browser with the arrow keys and select with enter. Or do it similarly with explorer (windows-e), though you'd have to track down the executable (or desktop link).

I could have googled that if my mouse worked...lol

Kids these days and their new fangled mice! Back in my day we had to program the mouse pointer to move for each action we wanted it to perform.

I know exactly that scene and believe me, I've felt that way. One time I was there and stuck with my Aunt and Grandma going to resale shops. I thought I was going to light myself on fire to deal with the insanity. Thankfully I remembered I had spare Gameboy batteries (I was in middle school). The dust and inanity weren't fun though.

Back in PB's day they had to use punch tickets.

No he is not, but I do want to. But I do not know when is the appropriate age for him. He is about 13 weeks old now.


Also, yes we do use puppy pads and we put them in the bathroom, and he usually walks himself there go do his business, but he's marking the border of our living room and it's pretty annoying. Today he made it to my makeup area! Argh. And yeah we have him crate trained and he's really good about it. We leave him there multiple times a day and all night. We've gotten him use to being by himself for awhile during the day since we work 10 hours a day. But then we make sure to give him lots of playtime when we're home.

Also treats. Treats galore. He's so spoiled!
