Or the ones that turn out to be incompetent. I once spent 10+ years in the 1990s pouring every extra dollar into improvements on a $295k 'fixer-upper' in Woodland Hills CA (that we sold 11 years later for $675k) that was 'South of the Boulevard' (quite a big deal for property values), and at one point had a contractor that failed to use 'green wood' f0r the bottom layer in constructing the framework for an exterior wall enclosing our huge (60' x 15') 'porch.'

We didn't pay a dime for tearing it down and re-doing it.
Fucking morons...

 

I find there are two kinds of “fallers” in my experience. The type that fall and they’re super embarrassed and pissed off. And the type that laugh at it and own the embarrassment. I’m type 2 lol.

 

I fell in front of my students last year and they were all so concerned. I threw my hands in the air and yelled "Ta-daaaa!"

 

Seems like you're pissed if you're asking me. Like I did when the god damn birds killed my 30ft. Saguaro cacti!!!

 

That’s too bad! I have no experience with such things. How did they kill it? Pecking at it?

 

I know it's standard. Just wish I could remember to check my emails before I click on them!

 

At this point, merely opening an email isn't dangerous, it's clicking on links or attachments that releases the malware. BUT - they already have malware for smart phones that infect you without any involvement on your part - if they get your phone number, they can infect uour phone. It's called Pegasus.

I figure it won't be long before they can do the same to your computer if they have your IP address (if they already can - I've seen no news about this happening... yet).

 

OMG! I hated those bastards. Lol. I fell for them sometimes. Not always. I don’t care how needed they are, they’re annoying! I feel ya sister.

 

I get a ton of solicitation emails at work. I move every single email that's not internal to the junk folder without opening it.
And every now and then I will get an email from our own IT asking me to do something, and those get forwarded immediately to our desktop tech person in case it's phishing.

I trust nobody.

 

Our company mail system puts a message at the top of everything that didn't come from the company or a customer, saying that the source is external. If it has the external message but claims to be from someone or something inside the company, I immediately send it to the "report phishing" address.

 

I think they must be giving us a glimpse into the inner workings of their complex minds...

After you sign in but before you click the "sign in" button, click on the "keep me signed in box"

 

I do nearly every time but it doesn’t work for me. iPhoneX issue? Lol.

 

I bought a house built in 1948, I had forgotten how inconvenient the lack of outlets can be.

 

I doubt I could afford to wire my house today with the cost of copper, and the boxes!

 

I was worried that my electrical system wouldn’t pass inspection but it did. Thank goodness. And so far it’s working great!

 

Nice...I did most of mine in 1975, then again, maybe 85...I had a building permit, I was concerned, but no one ever inspected my work, plumbing or electric. The building inspector stopped around two or three times...I mostly followed code.

 

Fuck that! Lol. I don’t work on anything I can’t see! Electricity is unseen. Lol.

 

I'm with you on that, @paulavettbrothers . Electrical is one thig I won't touch as a DIY.

 

Two years ago in my little library it was still 5 cents a day. I wonder how much it is now?

 

It is what it is...(I know some don't care for saying that and to them I say "It is what it is.") I get so much from our library, and pay very little! I think our Library tax annually is $120.00 bucks, and I get many new releases from them.
Just called and asked for the latest James Lee Burke novel in large print...I got it in a week! Around $25 or $30 bucks in a store...even at the discount places it would be near $20 bucks.

 

I have learned to ignore people like that.

 

Just like people who say "ATM machine" lol

 

Indeed. What must we do to get people to understand that the "M" in ATM means Machine.
I think that with the advent of texting, Common Acronyms are losing their meanings. I've heard people do the same thing with VCR's which, admittedly are not a thing anymore, but they are still around and have never been nor ever will be a VCR Recorder.

 

Fuck 'em.

 

We all have our own “fun zone”. Lol

 

Agree, I have a few friends, full time jobs, volunteer firemen and first aid, do small volunteer work for the town, boy scouts etc...They have nice yards and cars are always washed. Where do these guys get the time to do so much? Don't they sleep?

 

I mow my grass when I think the neighbors are starting to get annoyed with me. Lol.

 

Lucky for me I am not short and have a great personality
