What RUINED your day today?

[Wildcat666]

If you haven't got some already, I suggest you buy gas detectors and sleep better. I've seen them from about $10 and up.

You can also get them for your smartphones.

If you buy one that has a display, then you can see how big the concentration is. So if you find out that you only have 3 or 4% gas in a room then it should be safe to turn off everything in that room.

If the concentration is between 5 and 15% Just grab the cat or lover and get out. That is the only concentration where Natural gas can explode.

Natural gas is lighter than air so measure about 10 inches from the ceiling

Stay safe.......Please

This morning I had to shave my head, but I didnt get to the store to buy disposables. Fine, I'll use my normal razor. Now the angle of the head is totally different. A few minutes later, it looks like a murder scene

Did you cut everything off with a #1 blade guard first?  Otherwise, that is a disaster looking for a place to happen.

I used clippers to trim short.  The ladies razors works best - but I ran out.

$17.00 at Walmart. I use mine on everything. Everywhere.

My brother in law had clippers like that and would cut his hair.  My sister used to get so mad.  He'd hack it up 5 times out of 10.  He didn't want to spend the $8 to get a hair cut.
My daddy had them too, but I don't recall him ever using them.
Dan's hair is short enough I think he could use them or I could use them on him, but he has a stylist he's been going to for 10 years and insist on going to her.  He gets a hair wash, a scalp massage, a hot lather neck shave when he goes.  He says it's like going to the spa.  He actually says he "likes being pampered."  I guess I don't pamper him enough.

My reference was really to shaving the head.  You need to take everything down to 1/8” or shorter before applying a razor.   I don’t shave my head, but I use the clippers on everything between my groin and my neck. Otherwise, I’d look like Robin Willians in Moscow on the Hudson  Also my ears, nose, mustache (before my balls). The older you get, the more “weird hair” you grow.

Definitely. In your teens you get hair in funny places. In your 40s you get hair in totally unfunny places.

The strange thing I found since I started shaving my head is that the disposable razors work so much better. The fancy blades that you need a mortgage to buy is ruined after 1 shaved. Thre disposables last ages

What ruined today for me:

My truck almost being towed at work. They want the new higher ups to park close to the buildings and the regular people to park further out. I said eff that, summer is coming and with no shade out in the bf egypt of parking heat stroke from the walk is a thing. So since my office is in the furthest back building, that means an additional 5 minutes of walking, just to clock in, and another 4 minutes to get to my office, since I have to report to my direct boss before i can slink off to my office, so yeah.

I then had to leave work to go rescue my son and daughter from school, because my son decided to play hero and try and stop a dude from hitting a girl, and when my son did the right thing, the girl kicked him in the balls, so my daughter who seen this jumped on her. So instead of going to jail, they both have three day suspensions. But why this ruined my day, was I had to take my son to the er to get checked out, and listening to him whine and moan about it.

My wife's twin cousins decided to drop by and stay awhile. They are supposed to be in high school, but said fuck it and ran away from home, because daddy took their cars and phones away for failing grades and the real possibility of repeating their junior year. So they hopped a greyhound and arrived as I was dropping my kids off at home, so I could get back to work. Fun.

AND the worst ruining thing today...

I went to pick up an order on my way home from work, because my wife was working late, and they messed up my Arby's half pound with cheese. Gave me the smallest fucking sandwich ever.

The Forrest starts in my back yard and I feed the birds, especially during winter. So I have a lot of beautiful birds in my garden, among them five pheasants, who have more or less moved in.

I don't try to tame them, but one of the ladies started coming closer and closer when I was out filling the feeders. I started sitting down, talking to her, and throwing a few bird seeds. and soon she got within twó feet of me.

I never tried to get her to eat from my hand. She just got close, making cute little noises, whenever I was in the garden.

This morning her "husband" woke me. Male pheasants are noisy, but he was panicking. I got up and looked out the window. There was the lady pheasant laying out on the street. She had clearly been hit by a car.

As I approached her, I saw that the only thing I could do for her was to end her suffering, so I did that.

I know I did the right thing, but it still makes me sad.

The price of gasoline jumped up 40-cents a gallon yesterday.

I've seen it go up in a hurry, but never that by much in a single day.

Thats so sad DD 

Are you sure that it was Kluk? I saw Limpy when I came home. Her man was there but her sister wasn't.

I'll text you later.

WB, wow that was a long bad day.  Especially to top it off with the wrong order at the fast food. 

WC.  I get so mad seeing squirrels and chipmunks in the road.  I've never hit one in my life.  To see a dead animal just means someone has no care for animal life.  Cars have breaks people.   BUT to hit a pheasant?  WTH is wrong with people.  A cat or dog being hit should be no different than a small child.  Police should be involved.  Dan has argued with me when I go off about it, but it's so wrong.  License should be revoked or suspended for a time.

I too hate to see critters killed by cars
 In 60 years of driving,. I've hit two squirrels. Both ran from the side of the road and under my vehicle. There was no chance to break. I still felt bad even though tho there was nothing I could have done.

Every now and then police or other highway officials say not to hit your brakes. It increases the chance of being rear ended, maybe causing injuries to you, passengers (kids) and the people in the other cars.

Here's a chilling video from a busy freeway as a mother duck leafs her family across several lanes of traffic. No ducks or cars were harmed in this video.

I'm still seeing red from a few years ago while at our favorite wildlife area. Saw a large turtle by the side of the road and pulled over to take photos. When I got to it I saw a large snapper and it had been run over and killed. Looking back up the road I saw a vehicle's tracks ( Yahoo in a pickup no doubt, farm country). It was obvious from the tracks that they'd swerved from the center of the road to the side just to kill a turtle that from the size was several years old and would have lived much longer. That would be cause for arrest.

That makes me sick how some people just don't care. Disgusting

Long time ago, I was in Georgia and as I was driving to a store, and as I passed this small pond, a duck flew across in front of me and I hit it. I had to pulled over and sat there crying so hard and so long that a police officer had stopped to see if I was ok.

[msslave]

We had a Red-Tailed Hawk fly into the path of our car on the freeway. Bird had no chance. Came from the ditch, no doubt had dived on a small critter. The freeways here are lined with Hawks sitting on light poles watching for mice, voles and other tasty critters. The cause... people throwing good out their car windows. That attracts the critters which attracts Hawks. Then large numbers of Hawks get hit when they try to fly off with their catch.

Sometimes You don’t stand a chance.
Birds and animals can come out of nowhere and even if you go 30 in a 50 zone it is not always enough. Don’t beat yourself up if it happens to you.

But

If you see an animal close to the road, slooow down, It is your speed that kills them, because they panic.

and

What is unacceptable to me is when people hit animals or birds and don’t stop, but just assume the animal is dead. That is for me “Hit and Run” and animal cruelty.

I have saved injured animals, but sometimes, like today, There is nothing to do but stop the suffering. It breaks my heart every time, but Kluk suffered for at least half an hour to long.

Some do-gooders say that I should just let nature take its course. My simple answer is: There is nothing natural about being hit by a car or wounded by a bad hunter, and scavengers do not wait to eat you until you are completely dead. 

Sorry about being hotheaded again.

I have struck deer three times. The last time it totaled my car.  And the deer.

So it’s not just cute animals that jump out in harms way.

That deer must really have pissed you off.

How long did you chase it for?

I have never come up on a deer standing in the road. The old “deer in the headlights” seems to be a myth in Texas. On each of my encounters, the deer came leaping out of darkness, from the side. I’ve never encountered so many suicidal deer.  The last time was just God awful.  I had to be towed from the scene.  A local took the carcass for harvesting.  He said that spot has a lot of deer strikes. I bet he has a freezer full of venison to prove it.
