My stupid neighbors are flipping pissing me off. A car parked outside our complex has been sounding its alarm since at least 9am!! ! It will go off for a few minutes and then it will stop. I tried calling our apartment office before leaving for work but couldn't get through to anyone. When I came home it seemed to have stopped. Well it's just started back up again. I called the sheriff's non-emergency line to report it. I just hope they don't come by when it's in the "off phase." I am pretty sure the people are just turning it off remotely, without actually addressing the malfunction, and that really annoys me!

Well the cop came, and of course the alarm had just stopped, so he looked at it, fiddled around in his car, and drove off! :-x
I made it pretty clear to the dispatcher that it cycles on and off, and it's been doing this all day. Grrrr!

Every time I sit on the dunny (I've got an outside dunny)
Dunny in Australia means toilet (Mine's a bit better looking than this one though):
Image

with the red backs (potentially LETHAL)
Image

funnel webs (DEADLY DEADLY MONSTERS)
Image


and ants (we all know what ants look like so I won't post a picture of them :) ),

They're always crawling up my legs. The ants that is. Not the redbacks and funnel webs. The spiders just move around in there and get under the toilet seat and I need to check they're not under there before I sit down. I don't fancy racing off to ER with a funnel web bite to my privates - or anywhere else for that matter. I wouldn't make it anyway. I'd be dead before I got to the phone)

But THE ANTS! They crawl up my legs and bite me everywhere, including on my privates when I'm trying to do 'my business'! I don't even feel them until they're biting me.

A bit of background info there.

I digress.

I just went up and bought 2 cans of 6 month lasting surface spray but it's raining now.

AND HERE'S MY QUESTION!

Do you think rain will dilute the surface spray (keeping in mind that it does last up to 6 months) or do you think it will help wash it into the ground and kill the little buggers where the live and breed?

After all, chemicals don't break down in water. Do they?
I'm hoping it will help spread the stuff and get them down deep where they live!

WHAT DO YOU THINK? I WANT PEOPLE'S OPINIONS AND HELP ON THIS

Do you think I should spray in the rain or wait until the rain stops? It's only a light shower. Not pouring down.

Oh good, it's on a new page now. Is there a feature for censoring out sensitive images?
I think there should be an app for people to block their devices from showing pictures of certain thing :D. (Mine would be for those creatures).

As I predicted, the alarm started going off again. Once again, the cops have been called. They'd better do something this time (they sure as hell don't want me handling it :evil:).

Oh, the spiders!

My ex partner had really really bad OCD and was afraid of pesticides. They're carcinogenic.

If we were at the shops and a pestman/fumigator walked past us (even if he was like 6 feet from us), for the next hour it was, "Do you think he got on us? - What if we go the the same shop he went to and go through the same checkout?"

And eventually, the poor thing would have to cut our shopping trip short without getting what we went there to get just to go home and she'd shower for honestly over an hour. Poor Kato!

Yeah, mine is pretty bad too. I can't even say/type the name without feeling itchy. But in Florida (and in Aus) it's a pretty rational thing to be afraid of, because they are poisonous in these locations.

So I know her (Kato's) pain!

OH CHRIST, I DO WISH THEY'D SEE FIT TO GET RID OF THIS AWFUL CAPTCHA CRAP. I MEAN, HOW MANY TIMES A DAY DO YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOU'RE HUMAN?

IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK ANYWAY. EVEN IF YOU GET IT RIGHT, IT STILL THROWS YOU BACK INTO THE MESSAGE YOU JUST SENT INSTEAD OF POSTING IT.

AND EVEN SOMETIMES THERE, THE STUFF YOU TYPED IS GONE. MINUTES AND MINUTES OF TYPING JUST DISAPPEARS!! !

I'M LOGGED IN FOR CHRIST SAKE. I'M A MEMBER. DO I REALLY NEED TO KEEP PROVING I'M A HUMAN EVERY POST? SIMPLY BECAUSE YOUR CRAPPY SOFTWARE SUCKS AND OCCASIONALLY WIPES ALL THE HARD WORK AND TYPING THAT I'VE JUST DONE?

I'VE ALREADY PROVED I'M A HUMAN LIKE 50 TIMES TODAY. CAN'T YOU COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS CRAP?

YOU CAN'T EVEN PREVIEW YOUR POST WITHOUT GOING THOUGH THIS SHITE!! !

COME ON YOU GUYS. YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. IT'S BLOODY ANNOYING

IF YOU CAN'T DO BETTER THAN THIS, THEN HAND THE JOB OVER TO SOMEONE WHO CAN. LIKE ME.

I'm sending this off to Alex - although, I suspect, he has little IT experience compared to me and doesn't even know about or have much control over what happens here!

Oh, forgot to mention: when I've thought the stuff I typed was lost, I was able to either hit "backspace" or reopen the closed tab and it (the text) was all there again.

Thank you Aurora. She really suffers with it like HONESTLY every minute of every day. I lived with her for 23 years and I got to know her inside and out.

The whole time, she was on guard. Never a relaxed moment whilst we were out. Home was different. It was her controlled space but even there, occasionally (often) things would get dirty and I'd have to wash them for her or I'd have to wash my hands or shower if I got dirty.

I did SOOOO much for her that other people would have just said, get over it.

I used to even hold her hair back when she was vomitting - that's true love!

I know of people who have divorced their partners because they had OCD. Because they were just too much of a burden.

But you don't give up on family.

Or at least, that's what I used to think until I was given up on.

I just hit the back page button on my mouse and my browser has retained what I typed.
If you don't have a back button on your mouse, you can use Alt and the left arrow.

Are you getting this CAPTCH crap too?

Also, before you post, press Ctrl A and then Ctrl C

That'll highlight all your text and copy it to the windows clipboard, so if you do lose it, all you need to do is repost and paste what you've written back in to the new edit window. Insurance
