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.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word: Boook

Sometimes a word is so useful and necessary that it had been crying in the ether to be coined. Once used, we all wonder, “It’s so obvious now. How do we ever get along without that word?”

In today’s blog, we celebrate such an occurrence.

We are talking about the truly scary book. Or

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.

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.

Owie Day.

I managed to rip off half of big-toenail while reshelving my books. It’s not easy, but I managed it. Then I went to an exercise class. The big toe didn’t like it.

Somehow, the day took a wrong turn.

So, another short post.
