Happy Leap Year!

Hi.  Good Morning.  Happy Leap Year!  

[Deleted User]

Morning. I wouldn't even have known it was leap day/year without being told.

My morning started off with an irritation. Some d-bag cop comes speeding up behind me and I swear is like 3 inches from my bumper. I couldn't go anywhere with traffic, but that didn't stop him. Finally he waves around me, gives me the finger, then turns on the lights for a few seconds, I guess to prove that he's a big bad cop and I should bow down to him. Ass. Plus the fog was so thick you could barely see in front of you, so apparently driving safe wasn't his concern.

Really? He gave you the finger? Wow.

Sesh, I'd consider reporting him.  Public servants should not be giving law abiding (or any, really, for that matter) citizens the bird.

My house's dishwasher didn't fully drain and got stuck in the cycle about 50 minutes in (it still cleaned better than my dishwasher at the rental, though).  And I found a leak under the kitchen sink.

FML, now I'm worried the house is a money pit.

Happy Day to all.

Sesh, report the jerk, such inappropriate activity for a public servant.  Crazy fool!

Mica, most houses are money pits.  You will get very good at trying to temporarily fix somethings yourself.  It can be very frustrating.  In the end it is so worth it!

Eh, it's kind of the norm from what I understand about Jax cops. I've always heard about how douchey they can be from people who have lived here for years (not to say they are all like that, of course).

Is the leak a simple fix? The one time we had a leak, it was because the damn rats had chewed a fist-size hole through the pipe. Jerks.

Morning!

Damn, Sesh, I'm with Mica.  I'd report that.

No sign of snow yet, but my fingers are crossed.  Having my 7:30 - 10 PM class canceled for tonight would bring me great joy.

I think the leak is from the water filtration system.  Replacing the filter (it appears ancient) might do it, but that'd be a $100+ experiment as I looked up the replacement cartridge last night.

I need a plumber anyway because a faucet isn't working and there's a different drippy faucet, so I could ask his opinion on the sink leak.  And I found a google thing on how to check for causes of dishwashers that don't drain.

I can do a bunch of simple home repairs, but I was sort of hoping to unpack and enjoy the house a bit (especially after all the ordeals with the painters) before having to deal with all this crap.

Ugh, I hate house stuff. We try to do what we can ourselves so we don't bug the landlord too much (especially now since they just paid to have that huge tree taken out), but the house is old and stuff breaks all the time. Right now one of the bathroom sinks has a small leak from the knob. So annoying.

Morning.  I'm so ready for this week to be over.  I have not been motivated to come in all week.

baystateapple

I hear what you're saying, Adamar.

I slept like crap last night.  Not enough coffee in the world today.

midgetthemighty

Happy leap year! Someone moved the calendar in our break room to March already. Ooops.

Sesh, just because they're all jerks doesn't mean they shouldn't be reported. Eventually, somethings got to give.

Tonight FI and I are seeing a free prescreening of 21 Jumpstreet. I'm pretty excited!

adamar15

Bay, I haven't even gotten coffee all week!  I only get it on the weekends now because I've been doing a smoothie for breakfast

baystateapple

You are soooo much better than me.  I don't drink coffee on weekends but I need it to get through the day at work.

How do you get to see a pre-screening? Those opportunities never come my way.

H and I haven't been to the movies in forever, but we are going for John Carter and The Hunger Games. We've already decided to go early on a Tuesday to avoid the crowds.

adamar15

I'm kind of intrigued by this oil cleansing thing.  Does anyone do it? 

baystateapple

I am so excited for Hunger Games.  I never go to the movies either, Sesh, I think I went to maybe two last year?  I can't justify the expense anymore -- the ticket prices have gotten insane, so I only go when I REALLY want to see something.  HG and the Hobbit are the only films that I KNOW I'll see in theatres this year.

H keeps counting down the days until HG comes out.  I'm so glad that he decided to read the books.  I haven't seen him this excited for a film in ever.

adamar15

I think the last movie we saw in the theater was HP7P2.  We don't go often because we just don't have time, plus we're cheap and it's gotten so dang expensive.

Me too Admar!

The last movie we saw was the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but that was the first movie in a long time. We have a rewards card, so usually we get free popcorn or a free ticket when we go, which is nice.

H wants to see both movies opening weekend, but no. Just no. We saw Thor opening weekend and NEVER AGAIN.

midgetthemighty

FI handled getting the prescreening tickets. I've never done it before, but he said he just "signed up" for it. They do purposely overbook, so you have to get there early to ensure a seat.

I am so stoked for the Hunger Games.

baystateapple

The last movie we saw in theatres was Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.  Which I really didn't want to see because I didn't really like the first one, but my sister was begging us to go with her and H got two free tickets through work, so what the hell.  I ended up really liking it, it was way better than the first movie.  Plus Robert Downey Jr. = pretty damn sexy.

midgetthemighty

Bay, I wanted to see that so bad! I loved the first one too.

The last time we went to the movies, we saw two in one day. The Woman in Black - Creepy as hell and awesome. Old school horror movie. The Vow - I liked it a lot, didn't love it, but it was your typical chick flick.

kellyjellybelly

The last movie I saw in a theater was the first Hangover.  Then before that it was the first Sex and the City movie.  I dislike going to movie theaters  We are going to see Hunger Games when it comes out, but that's at a 'nice' theater that has leather recliner seats and drink service, so I should be ok

Morning!

It's rainy today so I was late to work because of all the traffic. Oh well.

We actually go to the movies a lot. It's my husbands favorite thing to do ever. We'll probably see something this weekend, I'm not sure what. Most likely one of the Oscar nominated films.
