bloody hell starter motors are heavy

Bloody hell starter motors are heavy when you drop one on your foot.
Yep
clumsy mongoose strikes again.
Please send money to the 'save goose from himself' fund
goddamnit my foot hurts.
Oh and yes my car needed a new starter motor. Bloody thing. Hadnt quite turned its toes up just yet but unlike 95% of the motoring population I practice preventative maintenance. Or rather dad does. I have 10 thumbs. The way I played squash last night proved it too.
Shocking
simply shocking.
didnt help I could hardly stand up heh.
Oh nutha thing I learnt (it took a while but I'm stubborn). If you are familiar with the 'noodles' you can buy for use in a pool (long sausage like foam device for flotation). Well we use them in aqua aerobics. One of the exercises involves two people sitting on one noodle facing away from each other then they start breast stroking (no rocky not fondling boobies). The aim is to drag your opponent down the pool. Men cannot do this exercise unless they ENJOY being continuously bashed in the nuts by the noodle. I had to delicately raise this point with the young n very attractive instructor (yes rocky in the hope she would offer to rub/kiss it better - she didnt)who , being female, had never even thought about the possible effects (i know why the girls enjoy this exercise, conversely).

So I'm innocently downloading some porn n i start getting exception errors
stupid puter. I happen to mention this fact to the exgf (with whom I was chatting on msn) n she said 'serves you right ya perv'! is this fair? didnt even get to SEE the blonde in the leather maids' uniform! ripped off

So I spent today cleaning the house. Yeah yeah you can PACK up laughing Lisa. Dunno what the wimmin whinge about. Anyone would think housework is hard to listen to the female of the species.
Wow
wipe benches n cupboard doors. squirt squirt wipe wipe.
wash dishes itd be hard with a broken hand.
I did 4 loads of laundry. Shit this washing clothes caper is tough. put shit in washing machine/put powder in/turn on. God I dunno how they manage really.I mean in my grandmothers day sure wshing the clothes was bloody hard yakka. I can SEE that. But so was shearing 300 sheep a day (my grandfather was a gun shearer). Dont think he ever whined about it though. Oh yeah then I vacuumed. AND tidied the yard. swept the paths, raked the yard for bits of shit (non turd variety) the dog drags about. Cleaned his bed area. played with the poor lonely fella for a bit. Helped dad with the car (though I suspect I was more in the way than anything). THEN we went round the opshops looking for shit dad can cart to a swap meet n flog.
Ima mop the floors b4 I go to bed tonight. its a doddle housework. If i could be ARSED actually planning it i reckon mebbe 20 minutes a DAY tops (Id stagger the tasking). But I did it all today cuz the real estate is inspecting tomorrow.
And I wanted more 'me' time. I have to wash fairly frequently because I do gym every day, then generally I play squash that afternoon.. atleast 3 times per week anyway. Generally 5. So the ole maytag gets a workout. I reckon kids might keep ya busy while theyre awake mebbe. But I say this... If you WANTED them pack up whinging about em. You got what you wanted. Deal.

heh

I have my calculator and am trying to work out whether it would be cheaper to kick out the flatmate, fly you from Australia and get you to do my housework, or just hire a cleaner ?

h8s darling you can whine about whatever you like. May I suggest such classics as 'you think my arse is too big' or 'you never tell me what youre thinking' or the evergreen 'all you ever DO is watch {hmm youre north american eh soo..) baseball/gridiron/basketball/hockey/nascar racing' then theres 'I broke a nail today it took me 3 weeks to grow' and 'so youve been at work 15 hours a day all week you WILL spend your one day off doing whatever menial shit I can think of' then theres 'how come there are no size 16s?? (remember sizings are different here)' tehehehehehe

Kassi darling not only could you not afford me but MOTH would be totally jealous. Though I doubtless would be good for your ego as I would probably sit there saying 'uhuh i know, youre right, you shoulda told them' etc etc. Oh n I can pass a footy after a fashion too(no no not to allblack standard hell even the bloody wallabies cant do that).
House looks good btw.
Had the same trouble when the exhandcuff took off. Suddenly the place was easier to keep tidy. Funny that eh.

Awww, poor footsie. Dropped a starter motor on it and THEN did some housework? wow, you're a legend, you're a machine! Oh how I wish I had one of you that I could keep in the closet and just bring you out on alternate days to clean up my messes. yes, that'd be great! :-P
