You know - noises coming from the other room that shouldn't be happening because Tipper and I are right here on the love seat....those kinds of noises. Unexplained types.

Oh, those.
I was hearing those this morning. Right here in this room with me. I finally figured out that it was a cardboard box that was slowly popping open. Whew.

Re: The Place to Check In
A couple of weeks ago I heard something slide down the wall in the other room, like it fell over or something. When I went to look, it hadn't fallen over at all...

Re: The Place to Check In
Sean your post indicates you have some kind of neurological issue? Can you fill me in on the details I'm late to the party on this.
So anyway. Was at work today and we got talking about Star Trek. Temp-labor worker walks by and declares "Only fags like Star Trek." I go to stand up and fire his ass for mouthing off to the boss (me)... that's pure insubordination.
MY boss gets up, tells me to stay put then hauls off and roundhouses the temp-worker. Then he sits back down and says "no punching people, 'cause that'll mess things up for you and the military."
My reply was "I was just going to fire him!" Boss shook his head and said "That won't learn him anything, only way to teach that sort is to hit 'em."
...wow. Just wow.

LP, tic disorder is my piece of the medical bandwagon. Fun shit, let me tell ya. Like toned down Tourette's basically...less frequent, possible to outgrow, and much more easily controlled. It's still there though, which is where the meds, doctors, and screw-ups on the part of the state, doctors, and schools go.
RJ...chances are, no, I can't. I'd need doctor authorization, and if they're the ones who are telling me to stop taking drugs...turns out mom did get me a neuro appt. for later in October. That's good. Hopefully he keeps me on the medication. Hell, I'll tell him that I'm gonna stay on the keppra. Ain't no way in hell I'm going through the crap I had to deal with before. If summer comes, and he wants to tweak things, he's welcome to, but until then, the helm's mine.
Night everyone. I'm finishing up my last bit of homework, and going to bed.

Good morning, everybody.
Another restless night.

Kind of opens the place up to a lawsuit, though. Better off firing him. "Termination for Flaming. Comments to DOL."Lord_Plecostomus wrote:My reply was "I was just going to fire him!" Boss shook his head and said "That won't learn him anything, only way to teach that sort is to hit 'em."

Re: The Place to Check In
Morning everyone.
Sean, just be sure you tell your doctor that this particular drug is working, where many others have not. It's my experience that they are reluctant to change something that is working well.
Hope you all have a good day.

Re: The Place to Check In
Good morning, everyone!
I'm feeling much better today.
jgc, is it possible that the noises are being made by another mouse? Sometimes they can get inside the walls and create all kinds of sounds.
Years ago, my husband and I lived in the upstairs of an old duplex where one summer, a raccoon made it's home in the chimney. The chimney ran through our kitchen, and we could hear it scratching around in there all the time. One night, we heard it slid down through the chimney. It ended up in the basement, which was only used by the lower unit's tennant. I have no idea how that raccoon got up in the chimney in the first place. Then again, we had a kitten that used to somehow climb up onto the roof, and sit in my kitchen window until I would let her in.

Hi all.
Bloody bloody dust! It's everywhere! I was inside and finding it hard to breathe!
I'm assuming y'all saw the pics. If you didn't, here's a news slide show:

^I've been seeing it on the news. We have dust storms here, but never quite that bad.
I was house-sitting once and had that happen. It was a pretty solid house with no mice that I know off. Pretty weird. Around my house I just assume it's mice and I'm probably right.jgc wrote:You know - noises coming from the other room that shouldn't be happening because Tipper and I are right here on the love seat....those kinds of noises.

I've been seeing lots of pictures; this one has to be my favorite, snapped by some guy while on his way to work in the morning, driving across the Sydney Harbor Bridge.australis wrote:Hi all.

It becomes more impressive when you realize that all that dust is coming all the way from the middle of the Australian continent -- the region surrounding Uluru / Ayers Rock, known as the Red Centre.Lupine wrote:^I've been seeing it on the news. We have dust storms here, but never quite that bad.
Nothing on quite so grand a scale here, but we did have a fire yesterday afternoon in the hills across town from where I am (roughly 2 miles/3 km off.) We had a decent view of part of it from the kitchen window and patio, and the S-2s, helicopters and the DC-10 water bomber were all out overhead. I don't have any pictures, but this shot of a fire back in May is looking at the same vicinity as yesterday's fire. Fortunately, wind was blowing away from structures and toward the hills, so the crews have a fairly straightforward job of it unless the fire flares up and keeps going to the town on the other side.

Re: The Place to Check In
Police came into work today, and questioned my boss.
Conversation went more or less like this:
OFFICER: Did you punch John Q. Worker?
BOSS: Yes.
OFFICER: Why?
BOSS: He called one of my workers a fagot for liking a certain TV show, and he wouldn't back off about it.
OFFICER: Oh ok. So in other words he needed punching.
BOSS: Exactly.
OFFICER: Carry on then, good day.
...well not EXACTLY like that but that's the general idea.
DISCLAIMER: Do not punch people.

Re: The Place to Check In
^ So the worker made a complaint, I take it.
About the noises - with my luck it probably is a mouse. I just wish they'd find a new home - like the field next door!
Australis - those are amazing pictures. Thankfully a dust storm is something I will probably never have to worry about here in New Hampshire.
And I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow morning to see what the heck is wrong with me!!!
