I also suffer from hayfever. 
Could this be an atheist thing?  :eyebrow:
Anyone else suffers from this? Davin, do you?
It could be the wrath of a Grumpy Asmo... Who's to say..?  :???: Mysterious things are... Mysterious.
Yes.  :chin:   Mysterious things are...mysterious...Like Pahu:eyebrow:

I have confirmed once again what is my kryptonite: grass/hay being cut in my general vicinity.  >:(

Couldn't go to work today because my eyes were practically swollen shut from allergies from the day before.
The day before I went around measuring buildings in an area with a lot of farms. Apparently they had a good year for growing hay because they were harvesting already.
Do you all have any idea the amount of pollen a large farm harvester can kick up?!?!

My wife was incredibly unsympathetic to this rant. Her comment "Tell the big wally to take his meds before he goes out!"
So consider yourself told!
Tell her I'm already on double dosages, and that at her earliest convenience she is cordially invited to kiss my ass.  8)

Was very happy to have gotten a Kindle Paperwhite e-reader for $30 off on Amazon Prime day. It arrived early Friday afternoon. I got it all set up, plugged it in to charge, and my husband and went out to run errands. Once we got home and  I finally had a chance to look at it closely, it had two sets of dead pixels on the screen. I've already got the return set up and will drop it off at UPS Saturday.

I was quite disappointed. However, I have decided to get a refund instead of a replacement. The old Paperwhite I have still works well, although it is the older model without the 300 ppi screen.

I generally don't mind, but on Saturdays I spend more time on the bus than I do at work. :sigh:

Our new ones are comfortable and run every ten minutes both ways to town.  No hassle waiting in traffic queues or trying to park at exhorbitant hourly rates either.

Have to use the car to the hospital though, worst service in town there but they make a fortune from patients and visitors parking. If you can find a bloody parking space!

It's the same here in Brazil. When my mother broke her leg I had to take her to the hospital every 2 weeks for a while and we paid quite a penny. Detail: it was a Catholic hospital.

They like money.

That's true everywhere!  Also, you queue for the bloody machine to pay your ticket.

At our hospital you get the first 15 minutes free.

Went for a blood test and the clinic was empty, no waiters, and the phlebotobist was fast and not chatty and I got back to the machine with one minute to go of my 15.

And there were two old ladies rummaging around in the depths of their handbags for the last 50p needed to pay their fee at the one machine that was working. I stuck 50p of my own in the slot, handed them their ticket, got mine sorted and was off before they caught up with events! Left them standing, open mouthed with hands still in bags.

Saved me £1.30.
