Thanks for all the well-wishes!
... er, well, most of them!
(By way of example: my wife would not want me to have a harpy birthday, for several reasons, including - but not limited to - disemboweling being a messy business, and if I messed around with harpies, it could go either way as to which would get to me first...)
But I appreciate all the sentiments!
I didst say bath day, not birthday - I'm not sure how anyone coulde object to nice clean harpies, particularly since they'd still have all their feathers on.
That being as it may, happy birthdaye as well :)

So of course we leave for a week and the neighbors have yet again perma-parked in front of our house. As I told Shiro's player, it's irritating because:
So yeah, the whole passive-aggressively seizing the spot whenever they move is getting old. Tonight'll be a polite note. Tomorrow'll be the cops. It sucks to mess with your neighbors, especially in a really friendly neighborhood like this, but, "We're permanently annexing your parking space for our house," is not OK.

Finally! NH posts a problem I can relate to!
Edit: I am joking... A little...
So of course we leave for a week and the neighbors have yet again perma-parked in front of our house. As I told Shiro's player, it's irritating because:
Most people understand that, if your neighbor has only one parking place and two cars, and ends up having to block their own driveway whenever you park in front of their house, such parking should be avoided when possible.
The people who do not understand this concept are precisely the people who scream, "You don't OWN that parking space! I have a RIGHT to park there!" whenever you bring up the possibility that maybe, just maybe, they could park in the 6 available spots across the street.

I bet this is the same kind of people who park their cars so their mailbox become inaccessible and then get upset when the mail is a day late.
Um... this can't be true. Americans don't have egg cups?
nope.
Most Americans like their eggs like I like my Japanese detective stories- HARD BOILED
HECK YEAH~!
This is why you're so messed up right now. You don't get a proper breakfast in you!
Well, for me, "proper" is whatever won't make me unable to breathe by way of belching in TKD, and horridly undercooked eggs tend to do that...

I am not a fan of eggs generally, the exception being a fried egg on a buttered bagel-half.

this makes no sense to me.
Then again, I live in New York.
Don't want someone to park in front of your house? Wait until it's alternate side, the police will move it for them.

I'm happy with potato salad as long as it's not lousy with onions. Which apparently, is too much to ask for.

My assumption is that parking is scarce where you live. I'm sitting here looking at 5 free parking spaces right across the street from me that have been free all week, and a car that's been in front of my house for 2-3 days now. Parking in front of my house? Not an issue. Leaving your car in front of my house for days at a time when there's plenty of non-impactful parking to be had? Issue. It's one of those, "Lack of respect for someone else's 'personal space'" things...
EDIT: And since parking isn't impacted around here, there's no enforcement unless you call it in. Cars can sit at the curb for months at a time. Unless it's in front of your house, it isn't your car, it's been there for 3+ days, and you call the cops on it, there is no towing...
EDIT 2: The point has become moot. The person just drove off, and NobodysWife and I did a quick car rotation to dump the Celica in the spot. Where it will sit for the next month...

Remember back in the "good old days" of Ma Bell, when the phone truck would come to your block, you'd get a polite knock at the door, and a uniformed employee would tell you, "Excuse me sir, but we're replacing the wiring on your block, and you may lose service for a minute or two. I hope that's not too much of an inconvenience for you."
And you'd lose service for 10 seconds and they'd finish up, wrap up, and go home?
Yeah... not so much any more.
A bunch of communications trucks just showed up on my block. I count SIX. Some kind of major work is being done. And I've received nary a letter nor call nor knock on my door.
And I just notified my manager that I might be offline for the rest of the afternoon if these guys mess up, which I expect.
The times, they have a-changed!

Why do autopsies have to be "performed"? You'd think, given the circumstances, that they could do without a big production.
Probably better then saying "executed"

A man went to the psychiatrist and said "My wife made me come here because I like pancakes." The psychiatrist said "That doesn't make you crazy. In fact, I like pancakes too." The man said "Great! Why don't you come over and tell my wife that. Then we can have pancakes together. I've got a whole basement full of them!"
Ugh all those carbs...
