I accidentally ingested garlic, which I can't properly digest (too many fructans). My poor stomach has been making some very odd noises for several hours now.

Suffice it to say we didn't make it the whole way through the show; her digestive system reacted rather poorly to the garlic Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk |

I was looking up adult bibs on Amazon (because the amount of spillage is getting ridiculous) and I think every single one of them were advertised 'for elderly.' I ... am not elderly.
It reminds me a bit of those 'as made on TV' products that are obviously disability aids but since they're too afraid to show a disabled person in an advertisement they instead have some random abled throwing food all over the place or getting into an intense wrestling match with a blanket.

I could push my metal shopping cart that I use to take laundry in, but it's very slow and the sidewalks here are very uneven and bumpy. I find it easier to pull. I had a few accidents where even the empty cart fell behind me. |

I was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk. Impatient driver started honking, then tried to swerve around me and nearly knocked me down.
Didn't catch the license plate. Not that it'd matter anyways, hardly any enforcement in this province... |

Baseball Team X has only lost twice when they've had at least 7 hits.

I'm not physically disabled, but even so I never cross unless I'm convinced the approaching cars have actually stopped or slowed down enough for me to safely cross. I will never, ever cross just hoping they will - unfortunately the world is too full of all kinds of lunatics.

Before we moved to our new house my sister listed some furniture and home decorations on a website similar to Facebook Marketplace. All those things we knew we weren't going to (be able to) use in our new house. She put them up for free. There were a couple of people who stopped responding midway through the messages to arrange a pick up, but once you made an appointment with someone they all showed up.
I had one thing that I wanted to get rid of; a small desk I hadn't even unpacked yet (bought it because my desk was falling apart, but managed to repair that), but I haven't got the space for now. I didn't list it before we moved since it was all the way at the back of my storage unit and I didn't feel like getting all my other stuff out to get to it. So I decided to wait until after the move to list it. Since moving my sister has listed a couple of things that turned out we weren't going to have space for. And where in Utrecht people showed up when you arranged for a pick up, people in this town often don't. She's had several time she waited for a pick up for the people not to show up. A couple of days ago I listed the desk to pick up for free. Got a reaction pretty quickly, though she didn't answer my question of when she wanted to pick it up until yesterday morning. When she asked if she could pick it up that evening. I told her that was fine, gave her the address and asked around what time she was coming by. And no answer. My sister was out last night, so I had planned a relaxed evening watching movies in bed. But since I can't hear the doorbell when I'm upstairs I had to wait in the living room in case she just forgot to answer my message. I waited until 10 pm before heading upstairs. Tomorrow I'll be relisting the desk, no use in doing it today since I'll be out most of the day. I'll also be researching video doorbells this weekend (anyone with a recommendation?). |
