Most Boring Thread

I was looking through my list of subscribed threads and noticed that this one is still getting new posts. I'm so bored by the thought of reading more in this thread that I might unsubscribe.

 

No cheese.
No dead things.
Fridge needs a good cleaning, though.

 

It's really satisfying to clean the fridge.

 

I wouldn't know.

 

That's what people say.

 

The plaster patches should be dry now, so I can sand those smooth and then watch the paint dry.

 

They brought us a new washing machine and took the old one away.

The new one ran for a few minutes and then said "Help. I need service. Fault code 10"

It was very polite but didn't wash any clothes.

So they came and took the new one away. They had another one on the truck, but they had loaded the wrong kind and so they didn't leave us with anything but the hoses.

Its very peaceful in the laundry room now, but we don't have a washing machine. Polite or otherwise.

 

I have to move my washing machine next week. Then someone with some big tools will come in and chew up the floor. I guess replacing that iron water pipe that just looks like a big pile of flaky rust is sort of important.

 

Oh the drawbacks of renting an apartment.

No washing machine to break. No replacement but also broken washing machine. No waiting for plaster or paint to dry. No floors to dig up.

Guess I'll go see what's in the refrigerator.

 

We had a problem with our washer. DH figured it out, found information online, ordered a fix-it kit, and had it fixed in a day.

I love to watch the laundry in the front loader. Just wish it had a window on the door.

 

Wow! X-Ray vision !!

 

I just realized that I have over 2000 posts. I think a lot of them would qualify for this thread. But I'm not ashamed. I have no shame.

 

I just realized I have more postings than Boo.

If I had X-Ray vision, watching the laundry wouldn't be so boring...

 

Some of you may know, Superman had X-ray vision. X-rays are also used in medicine.

 

When I was a kid, I got a pair of x-ray glasses that I ordered from an ad in a Superman or other DC comic. Was really hoping to see through women's clothes like the ad's drawings promised.

What hooey.

When the glasses arrived we took it apart to see how it didn't work or how it did whatever it did. Inside each paper len hole was a feather. Looking through the feather had the effect of creating a double image distortion. So if you looked at someone with say jeans or pants on, the double image of the pant legs would create the effect that you were looking at legs beneath the pant legs. Or if you looked at a women's torso from the side ... you get the picture.

 

Always wanted a pair of those.
My neighbour got the sea monkeys instead.
I always wanted a Glo-Coat heel mark shield too. Remember those?

 

This thread is at risk once again.

It's not so boring.

 

My dog just moved to another cushion.

Now that's more like it.

 

OK. More boring.
I just saw my first lawnmower of the season. I think Spring is just about here.

 

I have only a faint memory of that Glo-Coat heel thing

But those Sea Monkeys were always desirable (though a little disappointing when I saw a neighbor's).

And the glass tank ant farm was very cool too -- and I think the one that delivered most on promises.

And those Charles Atlas ads that dominated the back page -- I think I was that 97 pound weakling getting sand kicked in his face. I actually ordered the Charles Atlas muscle building guide. It was pretty sound -- basically an isometrics exercise program that could develop your strength and muscle tone (but not give you the body of Charles Atlas).
