TSCLT 10.0: Confucius say he hates a pussy!

[Wat_Tyler]

Q: What do you get a guy with at least four complete screwdriver sets?
A: A new, even bigger screwdriver set that has three screwdrivers
that might actually get used at some point in the distant future.

But what the hell, it's the thought that counts.

I also got a third copy of Meditations...
I acted as if I had never seen it before.
It's what you do.
(In all honesty, the other two copies have different titles,
so it's a different book..., right? )

After a great Chirstmas feast, I did the dozing off thing.
I'm so glad that ordeal is over, as are the Holidays.
I don't do anything for New Year's Eve...
That's reserved for young and stupid.

The only question that remains is,
How much longer does the tree stay up?

Now you need The Complete Set of Drill Bits . . . .

 

[Champakian]

I just use those screwdrivers with heads that I've never seen a screw for and a hammer.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

And if'n it don' work, you gets a bigger hammer.


Going to Wally's when they open, and hoin' to miss the morons.


After postin' here for a bit, I'll have had quite enough of them . . . .

 

[Champakian]

My thread got moved in record time.

Reality has been forbidden on the GB.
Reality has been rebranded as "politics."

 

[Champakian]

Whenever you buy a box of those odd screws...

They send you a diver head for them.
I have a small collection of them.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yeah, I wondered how I got on That Board. Twarn't like I went there a'purpose.


Gotta go to see Mom today. That should be innerestin' . . . .

 

[Champakian]

Got to appreciate her while she's still around.

I hope you didn't get her a screwdriver set...

 

[Champakian]

Scrolling down, I do see another bombing thread that has never been moved.

I might be being targeted specifically.

Paranoid?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

She fell and hurt herself. Surgery is imminent. She's not up to snuff, so we decided we'd do nothing for Xmas until she's feeling gooder.


She's a trip. We talk all the time.

 

[Champakian]

Well, then best wishes are in order.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Thanks.


She tried to catch herself when falling. She's not all that athletic/coordinated. She tore her rotator cuff. I think the surgery is very straight-forward.


She bitches about the process, which she needs to hush up about and just accept it.


Silly old people you get these daze . . . .

 

[Champakian]

I feel that.

I hate any and everything related to doctors, hospitals, surgeries...,

 

[Wat_Tyler]

She likes the attention but hates being told what to do.


This one, they can kinda make it stick, too.


And they're being tight with the pain meds, so there's that.

 

[Champakian]

I generally refuse pain meds, but there are times when...

Good morning folks.

Today is the first day of 'return that crappy gift' season. Which got me to wondering how Amazon handles returns? I suspect they have a "tough shit" policy in place.

 

[Champakian]

No, they send stuff with a return label included.
They understand the reality of the season.

What do I get the person rich in screwdrivers?
I know!

SCREWDRIVERS!!!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Now I know where to send my surplus screwdrivers.


And used driver bits, too, especially the strange ones.


The roofers axed me for driver bits for the funky screws that they're using. "Use the ones that came with the screws." "But Seenyore Greeengo, there aren't one." Cheap fucks.


In other news, Wat's Walmart strike was Entebbe-esque.

 

[bellisarius]

With a pre-paid shipping label of course.

 

[Champakian]

There's more chance of Wat having a screwdriver to fit that screw
than there is for Amazon to take that hit.

Like life, you pay the price in both the coming and the going.

 

[Champakian]

There are kids, and then there are kids...

Just WOW!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Return shipping label???


How's about no return address.





This is the Buzzards Gotta Eat scenario for unwanted hand tools and accessories . . . .

 

[Champakian]

I keep them all.

Too often, we're remembered by the estate sale at the end.

You really don't want a paucity of product at a time like that.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Good morning folks.

Today is the first day of 'return that crappy gift' season. Which got me to wondering how Amazon handles returns? I suspect they have a "tough shit" policy in place.

It's quite a profit center for Amazon....they charge manufacturers back for returns and then re-sell items as "open box" keeping almost 100% of the profit. WSJ had quite writeup on that right after Cyber Monday.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Actually, I never pitch a tool unless it's irreparably broken. At that point, it has achieved Piece Of Shit status.


Sometimes, duplicates get given away. It's part of Minimization.


S'ghetti is good for breakfast. Good thing that it's not around every day . . . .

 

[Bidin~Time]

Good morning, folks. I have successfully stoked up the fire and made coffee. It's almost thorland cold outside but should warm up some tomorrow.
Screw driver sets are what you buy the man who has everything.
