I’d be OK with all of those except algebra. I barely got that the first time around. Luckily the only kid I have says meow and doesn’t have homework she needs help with. ---

That I noticed that the granulated material I put in my nice Iced Coffee this morning wasn’t sugar. I cold brew coffee especially for Iced Coffee last week, and this morningI fill a glass with ice, then apply Splenda, or sugar, to the ice, after that I pour the coffee on the ice to melt the sugar, Then I add a bit of milk. I did this, and I’m anticipating it, and I take my first sip and almost throw up . **I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WE HAD SALT IN A CONTAINER!** And God knows why it’s in the same style of container, clear glass jug thingie, but only a size smaller than the sugar one. If I had been aware of the possibility I would have checked first. ---

Dang… no one should need a salt container that big. Isn’t the cardboard can it come in supposed to keep the salt from absorbing moisture & clumping? To me, it should stay in that container until the shaker on the table or in the kitchen needs refilling. ---

It’s pickling salt, we can a lot of stuff. ---

We solved this problem by using [Chip Spice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasoned_salt) instead of regular salt. Sugar is never orange 😛 ---

Yeah, that wouldn’t work with pickles and baking though. ---

Evidently you’re not pickling the right things 😉 ---

I’m pretty sure the story you told the driver about getting the bus fare was a scam and he probably knew it, too. But, wow. Talking non-stop for five miles and telling the entire bus all the details of what’s been going on in your life? None of it was in the TMI category, but seriously, there are some things best kept to yourself. In this case, all of it would have been nice. ---

DH does not need wrist surgery to repair a torn cartilage and will not have to spend four weeks in a full arm cast, four weeks in a half-arm cast, four weeks in a splint and then three months of rehab. Surely they will scope it and find it’s all a mistake and one more steroid shot will fix it… ---

THAT IS NOT WHAT THAT FLAG IS FOR. Seriously. I get this is a port town. I get that everyone is proud of the heritage. But Christ can we please stop using the [Merchant Jack](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/Civil_Ensign_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg/2000px-Civil_Ensign_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png) everywhere? It’s for _boats_. It’s not even for all boats, it’s specifically for the Royal Merchant Navy. And guess who is entirely absent from Blyth? That’s right, the bloody RMN. We have plenty of Finnish boats though. Why not fly the Finnish flag? Oh yeah. Patriotism. Right. Half the time they’re flying the damn flag backwards anyway 🙄 ---

(happened a long, long time ago) Dear $person (who worked for my wife at one stage) So you decided that giving my wife’s mobile number out as contact information when applying for loans, buying things on credit and so on will help you to avoid those calls when they want to collect payment? You forgot one little detail - my wife had all your particulars, including your parents’ contact details, and she gave all that out to the $collections\_drone. Serves you right for trying to be sneaky and hide behind other people. ---

Dude, you’re in a bathroom at a store that has lots and lots of tile on the walls and floor that do a wonderful job of reflecting sound. Not to mention the fact that the store has music playing quite loudly in there. Hang up your cell phone. ---

That’s when you walk by and fart loudly and then walk away quickly so everyone thinks it was him. 🙂 ---

I have no time for any of the Kardashians. I’ve never watched any of their “reality” shows, nor do I ever intend to. However, to suggest that [Kim Kardashian is to blame for being robbed](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/04/karl-lagerfeld-kim-kardashian-cannot-display-wealth-then-be-surp/) is completely ludicrous. Blaming the victim is _never_ correct. Karl Lagerfeld, you are a tosser. ---

I get you, but there is also a minimum of common sense here. Is it someone’s fault if they get robbed in Central Park while counting their 100’s? No, but they are stupid. If you park your Bentley unattended in South Chicago… is it your fault when it isn’t there when you come back? No, but shit man. Was it Batman’s Parents’ fault when they were gunned down in Crime Alley, no… but look at the name of the street guys. 10 Million in jewelry in an apartment. Let your security guard go hang out with your sisters… It’s not smart. Is it her fault, but it’s dumb. Why the hell do you have 10 million worth in your apartment, or hotel room or whatever?
