That's not going to be fun to fix, you do know he literally lives in Siberia and it's winter right..LOL

It's not that bad. The pump is in the boiler room. Nevertheless, over the past three years, it has already broken down...three times? I just see how shitty the quality of a rubber pear that pumps water is. I was lucky that there were a couple of liters left in the water heater.

We're just fucking tired of everything breaking down At the end of autumn, we realized that our chimney had burned. It replacement was supposed to cost $1,000. An exorbitant amount. We tried to collect it, but in the end we decided that we would continue to use old it, because we already have debts. We examined the chimney and, it seems, the inner pipe is in order. I check the burned-out areas occasionally, but so far everything is fine. The electric stove also does not work well, and I often use a camping, gas stove. Now the pump. Fucking life.
They'll bring me a bottle of water tomorrow, and maybe they'll fix the pump. Don't know.

You should get back into it. For muttcat. And also so I have something new, different, and interesting to read.

Last thing I finished was one of those things that need trigger warnings. And, uh... so is most of what's rattling around my brain wanting to be written, too, tbh. Apparently I'm incapable of writing unless I get to make my characters' lives miserable.

Do you happen to know exactly what part of the pump failed? I'm taking a stab in the dark here and saying it's a motor if it's just dead as a stone (not making any noise).

No, no. I am sure that the problem is AGAIN in the torn rubber pear (Or a bag if that's clearer). It is literally the only thing that puts the pump out of order. In addition, the motor is running and trying to pump water.

Oh, I see. If the malfunctioning part is rubber, wonder if the cold is taking its toll and making it really brittle. Do you have really hard water or anything like that?

Yes, my water is really hard. but the fact is that I have been living here for more than 10 years, and there have not been such frequent breakdowns before. My grandfather also complained that his pump began to require repairs more often, although his water is soft. I am sure that this is a disgusting quality of spare parts.

Highly likely, especially with machinery components lately (I've already had to help people source replacement fasteners because the bolts/nuts/etc that came with their product were so atrociously bad they broke during assembly). The fact that the water doesn't seem to be a factor pretty much leaves the problem as crappy component quality.

A friend of mine, Linnea, would say that's awesome and kinda the point.

I just ate part of a red crayon because of a Marine comment by our waiter. My kids are tormenting this young man.

I just got an alert about two guys with guns just 30 mins away from me.

Fun.

Heh, this type of BS is several times a week, less than ten blocks from my house. I now open carry a Ruger Redhawk .44 Magnum in a shoulder holster. I'm usually given a very wide berth at the grocery store.

...Bit overkill, innit? I mean I know Gary is scary as fuck and all but do you anticipate being attacked by a bear in the supermarket?

 

[Kellan Meig'h]

...Bit overkill, innit?

Not one bit. You're not the first one to say that, either. I used to carry a snub nose .38 Spl Colt Detective or Smith Model 10, a Colt Officer's model in .38 Super and sometimes a Kimber Micro in .45acp. That was up until the little punks started shooting up the town.

Every little punk jackwagon gangbanger in town carries a 9mm and a shiv. I carry for effect and even those same punks give me a wide berth. I use Cor-Bon Glaser rounds in my carry pieces, even my favorite little Makarov 9mm. The only thing is, the Glaser rounds are so hard to get right now.

<rant ahead>
People here wouldn't have to carry in self defense if the fukkin' police department would do their job. We have what seem like weekly shootings about ten blocks from me with a gray or silver Caddy that flies by my house right after we hear shots fired. I know exactly where that Caddy driver lives but the cops won't do a fukkin' thing about it. They're too afraid of causing a race riot here in town. Those are the Chief's own words.

Gary's not that bad, lived/worked near it <10-15 miles most of my life, there's much worse parts in Chicago, there's uppity neighborhoods now in Gary

Gotta make sure you eat your greens!

 

[Woozle]

I wish I could be as interested in other people as much as I'm interested in myself. I'm so self-obsessed.

Then again, when I meet someone I find really interesting I get TOO obsessed and bother them until they tell me to piss off. I can be such a creep.

I shouldn't say too much. I've gotten myself into some weird situations.

 

[quoting_mungo]

TFW you get an intense desire to listen to a song, but can only barely remember a few chords and no words, so Google is no good. ;_;

What’s that song that I remembered in the shower? I’m having trouble even remembering the few chords now after badly mangling the intro to The Black Parade.

Hm-hm-hmhmhm-hmmm hmmm-hmhm-hm-hm-hmm

Goddammit.

I can confirm a green one did get involved and I did call it salad.

Fam was laughing and apparently it is a sign of aggressive behavior.

what is it about christmas time that makes me yearn for romance so much when literally the entire rest of the year i couldn't care less about being alone

fuck awwwfffffff feelings

....well, there's certainly no doubt about you trying to be serious about the self-defense uses of personal carry and only hitting what you're aiming at, if you're using rounds that work on principles similar to shotgun shells.

Unfortunately my only experience with anything close to that type of round is someone trying something similar in .22 (obviously not a Cor-Bon product, and besides, last I checked .22 is for small game not self-defense), and said bullets weren't even enough to put down a snake. So maybe I don't fully get it.

Gary really isn’t that scary anymore. Twenty to thirty years ago sure, maybe even ten years ago but nowadays it’s just a hollowed out husk of what it once was. There are good parts to the city and is ever so slowly being revitalized in some areas but the internet overdramatized how bad it truly is by clinging to outdated information. I’m not saying that it’s a nice place, it’s just not as bad as people online think it is.

Cut my finger slicing bread because I'm an idiot.

My hands are useless. It's a good thing my job relies on brains most of the time.

I think I'm quite good at cooking and art, and those require coordination, but honestly it's such an uphill battle to use my hands for anything.

 

[Dreamy]

I guess I am a little frustrated that my responsibilities IRL is holding me back from doing creative projects. I ended up getting quite frustrated cuz I don't feel like I can start a conversation with my close friend on the RP forum I came from without starting or participating in a RP, I really do miss that friend... it has been...I think a few years already since I basically became just a lurker on that forum. It is hard to feel like not able to talk to them directly even though I literally had been stalking their profile all the time just to check their activities routinely......

I am not sure if they know how much I cherish them as a friend. But I guess I can kinda vent it out here...

It's actually one of the main reasons that made me wanna try to explore other forums instead, I guess I am just frustrated and want some time off there to get out of the loop for a bit... (and of course, I can embrace my 'furriness' fully here I guess haha, which I had kept suppressed in that other online space)

You're not alone. Boyfriend almost forbid me from slicing bagels on my own back when I ate those regularly, because every few times I'd end up cutting myself. It's not my fault knives are sharp!

I'm refraining from making inappropriate comments about using your hands. >.>

Use lotion. Maybe two hands.

I had to read that a few times before I got what you were saying.
Read it as "slicing bagles on my own back" like you were using your back as a cutting board.


In my defense, I am not feeling good today.
