I HATE scents, and for days I was in that particular hell that reminded me of when greeting cards had those little sound chips that activated when opened and as a joke, people would pluck them out and hide them where they couldn’t be found until the lithium battery died and the victim went insane.

I had my car washed and when I got back in, it smelled like a cross between Axe Phoenix and Fabuloso (the national scent of Mexico!) It turns out they jammed a clip-on scent into a vent and my frantic attempts to remove it only resulted in that fucker getting stuck deeper until I couldn’t see it.

I Just Wanted a New F**king Floor-- Not A Lifetime of Feeling Bad About My Entire House! Now everything but the new floor looks like shit and I'm really cranky anyway because 'tis my season to be.

I no longer offer 'advice,' just 'warnings.' Example: If a Mexican restaurant wants to charge you for chips, leave ASAP. If they’re stingy with fried corn, imagine what else they’re cutting corners on. Home improvement disasters and other breakdowns in my latest rant.

I find it ironic that churches collecting food to those who lost #SNAP benefits consist of the same folks who voted for the guy who's taken them away.
