Angry Man Rants About Logging On

The adventure that inspired today’s Angry Man rant involved me having to type in an access code that would appear on my phone. Except it never did. I had to talk to customer service for an hour.

Can You Tell the Difference?

Tesla(tm) truck or a door stop?

A door stop doesn’t move in the cold and would prevent a door from opening.

A Tesla(tm) truck doesn’t work in the cold and would keep a door from opening.

They look quite similar. Can you tell them apart?

The Great Latch Hook Project

January 21, 2024

I have a latch hook kit. This is supposed to be therapy for my eyes which at times don’t work well together. Latch hooking is supposed to help with my manual dexterity.
­
I started doing this at an arts-and-crafts session at a public library. It took me 30 minutes before I got thread in one of those little squares. A fellow crafter help me a lot in getting the hang of it.
­
However, there was some sadness in Mudville. The kit comes with a chart that tells what color yarn and its number. But there was silence on what the colors look like. Do you know the difference between Blue Jewel and Periwinkle? I didn’t.
­
I’ve just spent maybe three hours to sort out the colors.  Eventually, I discovered that Dark Green is 654 and Forest Green is 689. That left: Forest Green 689, Dark Green 654, Blue Jewel 818, and Periwinkle 831 to be pinned down.
­
I looked up the company on the internet. However, it altered its name some after I got the kit about 25 years ago. They also apparently changed their codes over the years. I got some of the codes through exhaustive and exhausting research. I now know that forest green is darker than dark green,. Egad, I feel like watching a murder mystery tonight.
­
I’m getting better. I can do 90 squares a hour. With a latch-hook mat comprising  8,000 squares, the whole project shall take about 90 hours. The world shall sigh in relief as this will keep off the streets where I would only foment revolution and no one wants that.

What I Did Today

 

Metaphor Mel removes financial weeds

Busy, busy day. I’m exhausted.

1) Woke up.

2) Got up. Right away, Go me!

3) Had a glazed doughnut for breakfast.

4) Finances are like flower gardens. They can be beautiful and reassuring. Then if you neglect them, even take your eyes off them for a bit, evil hardy weeds overrun them. So today, I engaged in hours of weed pulling. If that isn’t a metaphor, I don’t know what is.

4) Brokered a cease fire between two peacefully coexisting neighboring nations. It was easier than you might think.

5) Paused and reflected.

6) Went to the bank to turn my CD into a new one paying 4.5%. If left to their own devices banks will roll over your CD into a new one that pays you $3 for every $10,000 you invest with them. How do ever stay in business

7) The woman at the bank got me the CD I wanted with NO hassle AT ALL. She ever told me how to do the next rollover on line.  She is a financial goddess!

8) Wondered if any mollusks have pages on Facebook.

9) Looked up recipes for bread pizzas. What a clever way to use up lots of idle bread slices.

10) Made my first and only proper meal of the day: ham and cheese sandwich.

11) Did Wordle in four tries.

12) Watched an episode about Saturn’s moons, part of a travelog on India, and episode about prehistoric Britain.

13) Worked on this blog.

14) Ready for more adventures. Latch hooking is on the horizon.

3b) Oops! I forgot to say that I got dressed. I most certainly did not go into the world undressed. Goodness!

Behave yourselves.

Misread Sign

While, in fast-food restaurant, I misread the following sign:

“Curly fries are friend magnets.”

I really thought for an instant that the sentence went as below.

“Curly fries are fried magnets.”

So that’s why I keep bumping into iron. On the plus side, I won’t need to take iron supplements. Oh, and people are strangely drawn to me.
