You’re on your own for a while

Illinois

* OK, kids, I have been struggling with multiple issues all morning and I am just done for a while. My keyboard isn’t working right, my computer is struggling, my Internet is out, I have a car repair issue that I need to attend to ASAP, and I have an HVAC service person on his way.

That’s the news and I am outta here. Be nice to each other.

I hate days like that.

Just deal with it one item at a time. Good luck.

Dan Rutherford isn’t going to let Bruce Rauner destroy him, but a day like you have going might have done it.

I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car.

Good luck, but no promises on that whole “be nice to each other” thing.

“My keyboard isn’t working right, my computer is struggling…” So..nothing that can’t be fixed with a big old hammer.

Thoughts and prayers for your car issue (the rest are replace/repairable, but car shopping sounds scary these days…)

Technology problems are not fun.
I can attest to that.
Good luck.

Holy malfunctions, Batman (banned punctuation). What a mess! We’ll hold the fort while you get the stuff fixed.

Reminds me of the old Rodney Dangerfield joke. I woke up this morning and put my pants on and the button pops off, I then grab my briefcase and the handle falls off…. Honestly, I’m scared to go to the bathroom at this point.

How did you type [banned punctuation] in one sentence and then use it in the next? 😵‍💫

Does this mean we can use banned words and punctuation this afternoon? Asking for a friend..of course.

Very disappointed with Rep. Moylan for his sponsorship of legislation that runs contrary to our movement to defund the police. Our Social Justice freedom warriors will remember next November.

TO Lurker - Wednesday, Nov 17, 21 @ 1:03 pm:

a) I panicked.
b) I was intoxilated unda da affluence of inkohol.
c) Sometimes your foot slips of the clutch, and the gears grind for a sec.

Take the skirt off Rich, 12.8M folks in this state has it equally as bad or worse—maybe the cannabis can give you a grant—-but that would require you to become a sell out—don’t do it-take a break Rich—-indictments to follow…………

Low Level–The article doesn’t mention it but any word if Blago’s restaurant apology tour will include any Elvis songs? Or if he will come dressed up like the Vegas Elvis?
