I knew there was a reason I liked Flint.

I think someone (could be you) should start a who's who (or a who's whom) thread explaining the merits and demerits of each dwellar so those of us who have been out of the loop or are part timers can quickly research exactly what kind of nut(s) we are dealing with.

E.g. Maybe there is something I don't know about Flint that I should...

great work Glatt.

3 foot, Flint is a sick, nasty bastard. And that makes him perfect for the cellar, he's a good egg. I was just messing with you. The only guy you want to avoid is that Undertoad dude. he's a bully. just picks on people for no reason at all.

I am having the shittiest fucking day. That is all.


No, wait, that's not all. The shittiness is compounded because I can't tell Mr. Clod about the bulk of it or he'll just get upset too, which will be worse for me in the long run. And I really, really, really need a nap right now, but I can't take one because I'm too worked up to sleep. And the kids are taunting me about this by both being peacefully asleep at the same time.

Damn, Clodfobble. Sorry about that.

And all I have to complain about is this jackhammer that's been running about 10 feet behind my office. All day.

I'll see your 18 percent and raise you 20 percent.

Xcel Energy's residential customers will see a 38 percent increase in their electricity bills starting in July.
From here.

I don't know if that's a local increase or a national increase for Xcel's customers.

My Uncle has pre-cancerous cells in his throat.
Apparently he has been suffering from Barratt's Syndrome (aka Barratt's Oesophagus) for years and now has extensive scarring to his throat, putting him at greater risk of throat cancer. The risk is only increased, it is still a small percentage I hasten to add.

It's good, because it's been diagnosed and will be watched from now on.

But Mum suffers badly from reflux, and has done for a long time. She ticks all the boxes (except she's not a smoker and never has been). She's going to mention it to her GP next time she goes. I worry she might have it too and I'm not sure our healthcare system is as efficient as Australia's - she's never been checked despite being 13 years old than Jim. Also it explains why she is in pain from it so often - I had hoped it would just go away at some point.

And finally I suffer badly from reflux. Yes, it's mostly my own fault. But there's the added worry now that I'm not just ending up in pain, I'm creating ideal conditions for cancer. Not over-dramatising, I know the risk is still low. It's just potentially higher than it was before, given that this is a genetic condition.

Sigh. I'm upset mostly for Mum. It's her baby brother after all and so far away.
