Today I'm going to buy a new BBQ then when I get home I'll be ordering a new dryer. Tomorrow I'm taking the car for a service and I know they're going to say I need new tyres so I'll be spending a small fortune in 2 days on things I don't want to spend money on.

I had a bit of a small conversation with a guy who can't speak English well and me not speaking more than a handful of Spanish words. But he talked slower, I had some context to help get me along, and it was both interesting and fun (I've never had a conversation like that before).

I had my car in the shop last week, it cost as much as I paid for the car.

Ares has speech issues, which were much more severe when he was young. He could be hard for everyone, even us, to understand.

One of the cars broke, and he kept yelling something that sounded like "Butthole Transmission". We thought he was expressing frustration at the broken car(it wasn't the transmission, though) but it turned out he was trying to say Metro Transmission, the name of our mechanic shop.

We still call the place Butthole Transmission. My husband is thinking of applying there, and I asked if he'd be self aware enough not to answer calls and say "Butthole Transmission".

At 7:30 this morning a Manitou started up across the road from our house, it's been going on and off all day as first they dismantled the fountain. This kind of had me worried, i like that fountain. Late last year a truck backed into it. I was concerned it was being removed. After lunch the work continued but the other way round, they rebuilt it. Fully restored it is now ready to be turned on next month.

I wish I was your neighbor.

(Though I'd feel sorry for you if I was.)

Say something interesting.

I don't care what it is.

It can be something you found in your couch cushions, something that happened when you were 5, or a trivial fact you haven't had the opportunity to share in awhile. Or anything else you can think of, so long as its interesting!

Go!
Why is it called a pair of jeans when its only one?

Pair of shoes =2
Pair of gloves =2
Pair of jeans =1

Now if its because of the two pant legs, being a shirt has two sleeves shouldn't it be called a pair of shirts :p

I guess we might not be so bad now, that Ares isn't running into the side of houses, and Sam's no longer peeing off the roof.

Hmm running into the side of houses could be a problem. Stone built with walls a metre thick. Bound to cause a headache.

And how did you stop Sam doing his party piece?
