But if it's not your thing and you don't know what it is, how do you know where it's place is? |
It didn't have a proper place, so you couldn't expect it to end up there even if she did know what it was. You didn't even give her a slight chance, so you can't blame her if it ended up somewhere you wouldn't expect to find it.
Have you learned a lesson here?  ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

That seems like a bit of an over-reaction. i went with asking her not to do it again. |
I was going to say kill her and bury her in the garden. I guess you wouldn't be up for that then? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

That sounds like it would involve a lot of digging. I hate digging. |
Didn't you find a load of powerful chemicals recently?

The constant whinging about interest rates and mortgage payments.
3% is still a historically very low interest rate. Before the 2008 crash (which everyone seems to harken back to with misty-eyed longing as being when things were "normal"), the interest rate was 5.5% and even that was comparatively low. It never dropped below 6% until the mid 90's and was in double digits for most of the 70's and 80's.
We've been living through a period of incredibly low interest rates but it appears people have been carrying out their financial planning based on this situation continuing indefinitely. 3% is not a normal central bank interest rate. 6-7% would be a more normal situation. Double digits aren't unheard of.
Do people not plan ahead before committing to a massive 25 year loan? (rhetorical question, clearly not). I looked at what the repayments would be if rates hit 15% (which they did in 1981 and 1989) before I took out a mortgage. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Just this, actually.
I've stopped reading the press, and I've just about stopped watching the telly again.
It's not just a "whingeing pom" thing, either. Kiwis are whingeing, Canadians are whingeing, Americans are still ghastly and Italians hate everything anyway.
Except football, food and sex, which isn't a bad way to divert yourself from the woes of the world.
I am extremely insular - what goes on outside the elysian fields of planet* hellkat is pretty much unknown, although I keep abreast of things in a general world-view kind of way.
Why are they making jokes about Liz Truss and a lettuce, though? I haven't understood the reason for that.

I have just become super gutted as fuck.
I've had to turn down a free ticket plus one to the O2 Kaiser Chiefs and The Fratellis for Saturday night.

Well, quite. Was it MacMillan who said 'You've never had is so good' in teh early 60s - which lets face it was a lot grimmer than today? Also, as a fan of Talking Pictures TV I watch wryly at the 1970s Roger Marshal style situation dramas of folk (of all ages) in bed-sitters, shared bathrooms, a baby Belling in the corner to cook on etc.. Times were tougher without doubt (outside lav and no CH in my first house). Of course in an ideal world we should progress and we should all be enjoying a better standard of living that 40 years ago, but in an ideal world they'd be no Covid and no wars to contend with either.
TL/DR - shit happens and you can prepare or whinge - but be warned whinging doesn't get you anywhere. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750, SL1000
