And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

everyone is ready to tap and just needs help finding the right spot.

I feel like one of my Boomer traits is being utterly confounded when the place I *think* I should tap isn't the right spot. (Please note that the place I think I should tap is usually the screen, while the right spot is just sitting there with the correct icon on it, clearing its throat at me.)

(This post bought to you by my ability to slow down the self-checkout line at Aldi.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

On the devices we now use for the outlet sale (we switched from registers to handhelds that are kind of in between a phone and a tablet a couple years ago) the spot to tap IS on the screen. Which is also confusing since so often it isn't.

This is why I end up causing a backup in the checkout at Aldi, dang it!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The spot to tap should always be in the same place!

At least anyone having trouble getting that to work in my line doesn't have to feel bad about keeping people waiting as the wait for the receipt to print will always be longer and there's nothing any of us can do about it

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(That was weird, I hit Read New and it came up as a blank post)

(There's a nonzero chance I actually hit Post by accident. See above re: I am also very old and sometimes click wrong things)

Co-signed on all of that up there.

In dentist chair waiting for a couple of small fillings. I'm holding off on the crown replacement for now. My wallet hurts too much, even with dental "insurance." Just need to breathe for a couple of months.

Also just got an estimate for cosmetic work on my pre-molar to pre-molar up-top teeth, and it was way more reasonable than I was expecting. Still need to budget it out, but... I think it'll be doable.
