Testing Episode IV: A New Lament

[thejester]

And so the saga of the manure ends with me paying for its removal, a destroyed friendship and a gate being put up at either end of the property with a "GTFO" sign on it.

Shoulda just sued.

?

[Dude]

Long story short; when we bought this place the manure left by the previous residents was to be removed. Rather then sue and ruin my relationship with everyone here I tried to get it done the old fashioned way.

It didn't work. They just turned it over and piled it up saying when it was ready to haul off by truck that they'd come do it. Now I'm getting "we never said that" or "that shouldn't have been promised"

I'm actually going to use my own heavy equipment but come on, do what you said you would.

[timmy]

So they're still local?

[Dude]

Well the owners weren't but the renters are.

[timmy]

Ah, I see. That complicates things. Shame that they had to shitbird you.

[Dude]

Yup. But at least I know to avoid them going forward.

Wear and tear on the equipment aside, it's cheaper to do it myself and I won't have to have people on the property. That's the positive bit I'm trying to focus on anyways.

There needs to be mandatory education classes before people are allowed to post to facebook.

dad's latest ex-wife keep trying to use facebook as a magical healing journal by dragging dirty laundry into the public eye, then loses her shit when people call her out for it, culminating in posts all over Dad's wall that amount to nothing more than hateful vitriol by people on both sides of the divorce.

Meanwhile, chemotherapy has left him weak and often crippled with pain.

[Darksi4190]

In other news, the Hospital may have incorrectly placed the stomach port for my mom's chemo a second time. Same surgeon too.

The area around the port is red and swollen, and she may not be able to get chemo through it until she has another surgery to fix it!

[joviwan]

christ almighty

thoughts and crossed fingers for your mom.

[Darksi4190]

thanks. Her oncologist is a surgeon too, and has flat out stated that if it needs to be replaced, he's doing it this time rather than referring it to someone else.

He was the one who cut the original tumor out btw

[Oxymoron]

Copyright law is about to get infinitely more fucked-up than it ever was.

[Kryten]

No it isn't.

[Oxymoron]

Thank you for that.

[The Spartan]

An anti-lament: Went to the Weird Al show last night and got to meet Weird Al.

[Ralin]

I would have asked him do his pony voice

[Big Orangutan]

He looks young for his age. You (Spartan) look like a smaller, more cheerful Doug Stamper.

[The Spartan]

Ralin: perhaps, but you're a brony (I presume?) and I'm not.

BO: He has taken really good care of himself. I wouldn't have figured he was 55.

It was a really entertaining show though.

[Big Orangutan]

Yeah, Weird Al looks closer 38-40 rather than 55, he must be really into exercise, but since the 1990s chain smoking is more frowned upon and less prevalent, so you're more likely to have people who don't look like fuck past their older 30s.

[Bounty]

An anti-lament: Went to the Weird Al show last night and got to meet Weird Al.

Aw, he's making puppy love eyes at you

[Oxymoron]

I took these a few minutes ago in Paris.

They were offloading the cars as I was passing by.

[Crazedwraith]

Please. We had this with a double decker bus here just the other today. Took the whole top of the top deck off. You could see the seats sticking out the top.

[Oxymoron]

I may have seen that on the news. Or it was with a normal bus here? Not sure... Not a pretty sight anyway.

[Big Orangutan]

The British PM allegedly, as part of a Bullington Boy gag, committed an act of beastiality and necrophilia.

[evilsoup]

it's actually neither of those things!
bestiality means having sex with a live animal
necrophilia means having sex with a dead person
a severed pig's head is neither of those things
legally, he's in the clear

[Ralin]

So what?

I have at least two good friends who are into beastiality in real life, and there's nothing wrong with that.
