The totally off-topic thread

[Denali]

Denali mrsdrron wants to know why you wanted to kill your husband.
Not sure why she is asking as she often threatens me with the same punishment.

This morning, it was because I told him to not throw the bread twisty tie thingy and some paper on the kitchen floor for the maid to pick up and I was not happy with his response.

At 5.40am, anything other than a "Yes, Honey" equals me plotting his death.

 

[Denali]

This is after I steamed mopped the kitchen floor and he threw electrolyte powered all over the floor and bench... again.

Im a saint I tell you!

So here we are in San Francisco. I woke up on Sunday and said to Mr FM, I really want to see Master FM. So we booked and flew on Monday. Had to be Qantas, as I wanted to get there quickly so the direct flight to SFO seemed the easiest option.

I can’t believe I did it. I am a control freak, I plan everything years ahead, I am not an impulsive person! ( Not to mention last minute J fares were breath taking).

 

[Denali]

Wonderful! I look forward to being that spontaneous!

Enjoy your visit!

My future Son in Law and mother were in J on that flight. Hope they behaved.

oh really? It was actually a terrific flight. I am not a huge Qantas fan these days, but the crew was excellent. It was pretty full, so I am running through the people who were around us, but I don’t think anyone fits that possible description . . We were in row 2 and there was a baby in row 1, but it was so good!

Strapping lad 26 years old, 6 foot 120kg and blonde mother 56, but then who really takes notice of other passengers. (unless they want to be noticed.) Enjoy your time with your daughter. (mine currently in Casper and meeting up with the boy in New York Xmas eve.)
They were in Row 5, D & E

must have walked past them a few times . Christmas in New York sounds amazing . We are here to see our son - I spend lots of time with the two girls, but Master FM is very uncommunicative and we have become a little concerned, so ...........

Well done &FlyingMermaid. I know how meticulous your planning usually is

I was plotting my husbands death and he just texted that he found the below beanie and bought it for me (in diff colour) for Scotland.

I cant wear beanies because of my hair (I prefer ponytails or having my hair up) and this is what he got me.

How can I kill him now? Very excited to try this.

Any link for where to buy? The wife could do with one of these for next winter.

He got it at our local village chemist but I've since found them on ebay... Who'da thought it!
Edit. Search messy hair beanie or ponytail beanie.

Such a simple idea but perfect for my needs.

I usually use ear polartec ear head band to protect my ears but wanted to use a beanie at times.

I have a knitting pattern for a "Pony tail Beanie" if any one wants a copy to make one !!! But we are currently on a trip and I cant access it till I get home in 6 weeks

My sister and sister in law have the craft gene. Great knitters.

I think it's reassuring that people were concerned about a baby in a pram with a sleeping mother. Too many people walk past things/ turn a blind eye and sometimes that is to the detriment of a person at risk. Presumably they did not think you are together - probably making that assumption off the fact you are from different cultural backgrounds. Yes an assumption and not a correct one but one easily made.

I can't see how it could ever escalate for you and turn out bad for you - you are the father of the child and that's all that needs to be said to the authorities.

Imagine if it was not you in that seat but another middle aged man who's intentions were not so pleasant. Guarantee in those circumstances you'd be here praising the person who expressed a concern.

I am feeling old, got breathalysed tonight driving home about 2030 hours. The policeman looked way too young to be up that late let alone wearing a gun etc. One long blow and he couldn't get rid of the polite old man quickly enough.

We just count to 10 here in NSW, nothing to blow into. I’ve been breathalyzed twice in the past couple of weeks including today on the way to do some last minute shopping.

They are all over Facebook. Every second sponsored post is for one.

Rattus rattus. Vile little buggers. We thought one had died in the wall space. Turns out it's been hiding in our fridge motor for days and it's accumulated leavings have been building up, which accounts for the smell.

The wife saw it today and scared it, but couldn't keep track of where it went. It hid in a drawer under the tv.

I've just chased it through the house and out through the laundry. All the while my two cats more or less watched on. coughs.

Laying traps now. The little varmint has been in here for a while.

Makes you wonder why I have two cats.

 

[Milboo]

We have them down the back of the yard - they moved in after the neighbours got chickens. I managed to trap one a few weeks back (while I was overseas so didn't have to deal with that!) but still one around as I find digging in the bark chips. I've seen it go through my yard - it's big!

My cat is too old to rat now - he used to when he was younger. Bringing them in alive for the dog...this dog however would go WTF!!

We can't bait here as 4 out of the 5 houses have dogs and/ or cats.

That wouldn't stop me !! Our new neighbours have 5 kids, a dog, a cat, a coughatoo, and 3 RATS (in a cage) I told them if I ever see the rats I will be buying ratsak !!!!!!

 

[GarrettM]

It clearly set up camp days ago. Just found a pile of rat poo in the laundry. Gross.

The fridge motor is open at the back, and there is a puddle of rat piss in a plastic housing which doesn't come off. I'll need to brainstorm that.

Or just get a new fridge, which we've been wanting for months anyway. We don't have the money really, but we can't live with a rat piss fridge either.
