Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Fixed.
I thought it was about Diablo Sandwiches and a Dr Pepper.
Nope. It was all about the Coors.
I was just quoting the funniest scene in the movie.
What, the one where the warden is yelling, "SHOOT HIM! SHOOOOOT HIIIM!"
...oh wait, that's a different movie.

A Facebook post led me to search my email and discover that the fifteen eclipse glasses I purchased from Amazon are not from a reputable source and shouldn't be used.
I may be able to get a friend to test them with a spectrophotometer in time, but the prices of glasses has shot up astronomically since the email alert, so we may be stuck with the two welding helmets I have, some solar eclipse filter for the camera, and whatever pinhole arrangement we can make day of.

Thanks. I don't think the streaming alert would help me since I normally have to have my plan figured out a couple of hours ahead of the launch, but I wonder if SpaceX has an IFTTT channel that sends out reminders the day before.
Unfortunately, today was more about things going pear shaped than not knowing when it was. (Dumb mistake on my part.)
The hotel I'm interviewing at this afternoon is a AAA 5 Diamond resort. It's more than a little intimidating.
OTOH, it's obviously not a property that any one person would be expected to handle solo, as I always was. It's just too damn big. It wouldn't be all on my shoulders. Plus, it's too remote and too high end for the problem guests I would usually get to be getting anywhere near the place.

Yes, because we all know high-end hotels don't get problem guests
(I know what you're saying, it's just funny as worded. But at least they'll be different problem guests!)
What the fuck were you doing last night then if not getting ready?! :O
I call bullshit
Did it work?

Slightly.
I need to clean the house before we have D&D next week (lol). I dun wanna. The computer room has no floor, just a 2-3 inch pile of debris, and that's the room you have to walk through to get to the bathroom we actually let people outside of the family use.

Tonight I actually am going to attempt to use a vacuum I haven't touched in years. Dumb cat can't keep its litter in the box.[DOUBLEPOST=1503010402,1503009980][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh yeah, and when my friend asked if there was anything special I needed them to do, I replied with the following gif:I need to clean the house before we have D&D next week (lol).

Been fighting with the mortgage company to let me short-sell this house because the buyer has been breathing down my neck since the end of last year.
Finally got all the paperwork done and got the mortgage company's approval to proceed during the first week of August. I was supposed to close the sale today.
Now the buyer is hemming and hawing about every little thing, told us on Mon that they want the city to come inspect the property, want a list of everything that needs to be repaired (it's been sitting empty for FOUR YEARS now), wants me to go through and get rid of all personal property inside the house (seriously? the only things left that aren't stuff like spare flooring and appliance manuals are a pair of wing-back chairs) and wants me to clean and deodorize the entire house. Also suddenly the city has become very interested in the property, making me have the septic inspected ($200), the home inspected ($340), and they want me to have a dead tree removed ($2300 - this one hasn't been done yet).
Listen, bud. It's a cash sale. You want new windows, a concrete driveway, and to modernize the kitchen? You do that yourself. I'm selling it because I don't have the money to do improvements, you chiselers. Stop trying to shift the improvement cost(s) to me.

"There appears to have been a struggle..."
With our friends south of the border, can't be too sure of that.
