Grocery Store Hell

[Pekka]

DD, working at grocery store I see

[Pekka]

Let's see the painting then!

I have nothing on my walls.. I'm thinking I should get those cool posters like Scarface and few other cool ones, frame them and put them on the wall.. not like a stupid setting but cool and stylish. Very cost effective. I'm also hunting a cheap bed because right now I don't have one and I'm sleeping on the floor Under 20 euros would be a good price. We'll see. Exciting hunt

Okay here is:

Its actually a wood mosaic in somekind of acryl mass. Its done by this Iranian artist living here in Finland though I think it has japanese simplicity in it. I bought it because it was well made, was beautiful and reminds Japanese and art nouveau wich I'm insane about.

I hate the "chicken kids" the most. I guess it is cultural but Mexican parents don't seem to control their kids as well as most native born American parents. That means the kids are usually running around the store with no supervision while they scream, yell, open boxes, run into old people, and generally behave like jackasses. I would love to see a law requiring public flogging of lazy parents who don't bother to supervise their progeny.

I can tell you from experience behind the counter that certainly isn't the case from my view. Hell the immigrants (Mexican or otherwise) I check out keep more controll over hteir children than most people that were born and raised here.

I suppose it could depend upon which part of Mexico they come from but here in California I most certainly am not the only person to notice this. The loudest critics I know of this practice are American born people of Mexican decent.

Well ganted you are closer to the border than I am.

laurentius pretty cool myself I like simple and clean style in art. I'm not much of an art person, I mean I don't know the styles too much, but I know what I like..I'm kind of picky though. I don't have anything now and I'll go with some posters so.. eh.

Anyway, I was just struck with a huge fortune. My dad called me up, first of all he never calls me so it was refreshing, plus he had good news, he had bought a new washing machine because the old one has leaked water for few years already. Not a lot, but enough to be annoyance, because the washing machine wasn't in the toilet like in some small apartments. But you see, in my new place, I have a place for that in the toilet because the shower is also there etc, so it doesn't matter if it leaks a little water, doesn't matter at all. SO I just got a free washing machine, meaning I don't have to use the laundry anymore which was necessarily evil to this day! Woot!

THEN he told me he was visiting his buddy and helping him out I guess because he was carryign some stuff to recycling center, because he is also moving so he threw away some stuff. He had few office chairs, because he had his office in his home, and was throwing those away too. My dad says they were in great condition, so he grabbed the best of them for me as well. So now I have a good chair too, free of charge! Then I'm getting this sofa for two for about.. well that plus a cool level for my tv, both in great conditiion and good looking and good for like 40 euros from this other student, so I'm getting a whole set of furniture and machinery for less than 50 euros I cant' believe my luck.. it's like a string of fortunes happening every week. Now I need a great office table for my computer, a cool carpet, bed, and that's it I'm set. Also a cool coffee table for the sofa I'm thinking.. I can't believe I'm getting this done with less than 100 euros.. . And having the quality in normal instead of 'ex-crack-house-design'. .. But it is like you know.. have to be creative at this stage of your life.. if you aren't, then good luck with the empty flat and empty fridge. Teaches you things. I know the ****ing value of money! .

Pekka - laundry mats can be very cool places to hit on girls. Stop being so irritated and instead look for the opportunities. A nice girl with a bush is worth two hotties on-line (very bad quote mangle ).

[Pekka]

A girl with a bush is worth nothing and two hotties on-line are worth the pics they sent, about 20 cents.

I have my nets set already.. I intend to capture a nice one. This is no problem. Screw the laundry place though. I rather have my own now that I can .

But you have a positive look at things so this is good, you will live longer than average person.

[Mr. Harley]

I certainly hope you are right - they have me on three different high blood pressure meds, two at max doses (family history), a statin, and I'm in the middle of having my job outsourced and losing my retirement. On the other hand I have a wonderful daughter who charms the socks off everybody, and at two years of age you can count the major fusses she has in a month on both hands. I know many people who would trade just on the health part, let alone the behaviro, so it always helps to remember the context.

Good luck with the young lady you have in mind - and remember it's like catching a bird by salting it's tail - if you can see the girl's bush (in person)...

it's good you vent...
