and in news that pisses me off something royal, schools are going back already. like wtf happened to summer? in my day we got out of school usually the second week of June and went back the second week of September. so now i get to deal with school traffic which is going to be exacerbated by the road construction on my main route that won't be done until September, and oh yeah, it's right next to a freaking elementary school. iv been detouring and going past a high school, well they go back August 13th. and there's road construction about a half mile past the school. so that'll add to the cluster fornicating nightmare. I'm expecting my commute time to increase by at least 15 minutes. anybody have a killdozer for sale?

I'd like to double down on this...
Why the hell do towns put schools on THE BUSIEST STREETS???
Main st and children's crosswalks, school bus, STOPPED TRAFFIC!!!! What could possibly go wrong???
OMFG!!!!!

Can't find any non-prime off main street real estate to use??? I can think of a few dozen vacant shopping centers and factory buildings that have plenty of parking and off main street roads that you can block up from 6:00am-dusk every damned day of the week if you want!!!

There is NOTHING quick, easy or SAFE about dropping your kids off at school at 7:15am, 500' from the busiest intersection in town.

A 1/2 mile 15 mph zone for 2 hours every morning and afternoon... on Main street. Perfect!!!
Utter stupidity.

Try DirectTV Now. So much better than cable… plus I can watch my shows and DVR anywhere I want on my IPad or phone. You can still record shows, watch live TV, on demand, etc. It’s just like having a cable box, without the mess of a cable box.

I pay about $6/month. I can stream pretty much anything from mew movies, tv shows, all the way back to the 40's and 50's movies. Currently watching Outbreak. Just watched the new How to Train Your Dragon

My terrible not so good week I had last week, trickled over into this week. Our coal still has such a low ash content we aren’t making enough ash to keep the bed cool. I about lost the boiler last week. So, now I have to be on edge for the next 12 hours constantly adjusting my air to keep this thing cool… while simultaneously keeping within our air permits. It’s a very annoying balancing act I do not enjoy doing.

They’re making me work and I don’t like it

The toilet aint filling up with water in the tank. Like I did my duty and I was getting cup of water right and I finished it and I was like, shouldn't the toilet be done running by now? Popped the lid and the water coming out from the flopper stopper thing valve was like dripping out barely. It's almost midnight. Can wait till tomorrow.
Like all I did was my thing and flushed like I didn't do anything wrong

Everything was fine until you wiped and then tried to flush the beach towel when you were done with it, right?

You need a new crapper flapper!!!

I’d just grab the 5 gallon bucket of water now This way when you gotta go again, you can manually fill the tank and flush. Don’t want your house looking like the carnival poop cruise.

You could head down to Michael's in the morning for some plastic googley eyes and wax lips... you could make a fun playtime character... flushing is SO BORING!!!
Maybe a couple pipe cleaner arms?

Lol
Not the handle though
It's the flapper stopper valve that senses the water level in the tank.
Because they aint no water coming out of the tube from the valve to fill it up in the first place. Lol.

Turn the water back on! Problem solved boys

The water was fully on. Like there's a leak somewhere inside the valve.

It's like saying all of your electronics are working just fine but it ain't driving due to a snapped pin on the input shaft.
