No actually these are 20 year old Royal Doulton - a top quality English company which went titsup soon after these were bought. Now they produce crap like you can buy at any dime store for 1/10 the price.

Kids finally got me sick. Been laid out all day.

Woke up at 12.30am, gigass knot in my old stomach.
Seems I cannot tolerate real sour cream!!
7.30am, still awake............. for how long
who knows.

Jury duty.

 

[SaparotRob]

However, I was released at noon and my jury obligation to New York is done for six years. Which cheered me up. The Cheered Me Up Thread, however, is unavailable.
I'm holding Roadking01 responsible.

You can always tell what medicine works and what doesn't. Stuff I took in the morning did diddly. Stuff I took in the afternoon knocked the fever right out. Eating and going back to bed. My boys at school were bad as hell for my sub.

The computer keys s w x and 2 do not work and I have to copy and paste them when needing to use those letters.

 

[MiTasol]

That often means fluff under the keys preventing them from making contact and often xyou can gently pry the keys off to clean below or if you have a source of low pressure air try blowing the fluff out from under them.

I have never heard of a straight line of keys failing before though so that is strange.

Pepsi Syndrome?

could be - that or some other sugar laden sticky stuff that will now blow out.

Nothing more frustrating than parents who don't give a crap what their kid isn't doing in class. Play me a cricket symphony.

As told to my sister, a high school English teacher:

You must not be very good if my child isn't motivated to do well in your class.

As told to my sister, a high school English teacher:

That's a good one. Quite a contrast to last year when I had every parent I called returned my call. This year one parent has a restriction placed on calls to her phone. She knows.

Ambiguous instructions..................................
WT?

 

[MiTasol]

As told to my sister, a high school English teacher:

I would be tempted to say the child spends 20(?) hours a week with me and about 100 hours a week with parents so who do you think has the most influence on their behaviour.

Been fighting things to get the wife's van inspected and the tags updated... Well, it decided to take a $5K dump last night while I was driving it to work...Just put about $2800 worth of parts and paid shop time into it since early August......

Tranny blow up? Dodge Grand Caravans are notorious for that.

Nah, nothing simple like that....#3 cylinder oil control ring gave up. Cylinder fouls out the plug about every 1800 miles or less now. Fraking Honda variable cylinder management system causes this. Had it disabled for a while, but trying to get it pass inspection, had to have it back online.
