Dear Math: I am sick and tired of finding your x. Just accept the fact she's gone. Move on, dude!

There's tired, there's exhausted, then there's this.

Nothing at that house goes easily. It lured me into a false sense of optimism when the old toilet came out sans difficulty, but things quickly went south.
The closet flange (hole in the floor where the toilet bolts down) should be either 3" or 4" in diameter, not 2.75", guaranteeing the wax ring with plastic collar won't fit. And the thick tile means one wax ring isn't thick enough anyway. Stacking two is both dubious and the only way the guy at Ace said I could get it to work. And the very expensive new toilet has a tank-to-bowl attachment system with instructions that four times, in all caps, warns, "DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN." I had water leaking everywhere for fear of cracking the porcelain until I figured out where that limit was.
Who needs to go to the gym when you can do 15 lifts of a 40 lb. toilet?

The contractor who did the remodel deserved treatment outlawed by the Geneva Convention. He hung a bedroom door by driving screws in so tightly the ends broke off. Never mind; just leave the broken tip in there and put a short one over the top. By the time the door starts to fall off you'll be long gone. Oh, and the mailbox? Yeah, just put a bigger one over the top of that, too.
Aaargh!!
And I'm not done. I brought home dresser drawers to fix and take back Saturday. Then I have to relocate electrical in the dining room ceiling so a fancy new light hangs over the center of the table.

I wrote an email to TIME today about an article in last week's print edition. Never done that before, but this one was so over the top.... The essayist characterized people of faith as individuals who have decided to disregard scientific evidence in order to preserve their belief system. Then she quoted a verse from Proverbs and thoroughly twisted its meaning to suit her purposes when in fact it means just the opposite. ("Without a vision the people perish.")

"Person of Interest" (CBS) runs across from "The Office" (NBC). I think the latter jumped the shark a long time ago but I'm a very good husband so we're recording it to watch after "Person of Interest" which looks like it will be a very good show.

On tonight's news Brian Williams said "...in the 45 years since the civil rights movement." How can that be?
That means 90% of the people at Pathway weren't born.
I think I'm officially disgusted. (and old)

I just heard that today was National Coffee Day. Why are they only telling us that now?

I'm tired of cleaning the inside of our glass shower doors so I've decided to coat them with Rain-X. Thing is, I'll have to take really fast showers.
