and it was still half frozen. that North Carolina Lottery for Education money sure isn’t going to feeding kids healthy meals.

Got rolls for a spooky movie night with the fiancé. Proceeded to almost make my own horror movie as I opened the can up right next to her. The lid moved with so much velocity im sure it could’ve taken her eye out.

The can was straight from the store purchases an hour prior, not left out at all, and went straight in the fridge. I’ve opened up at least of hundred of these in my life and this is my first cinnamon roll IED. I barely peeled the paper back before it exploded.

I’m never going to live this down.

EDIT: I live in a small apartment. The kitchen counter is right next to the living room space. I walked over to talk to my fiance as I was opening them. I am aware you are supposed to bake these.

EDIT #2: I’m talking a violent explosion. Like potato or t-shirt cannon level. Usually these cans have a little puff of air when you open it to a certain level. This was so fast my eyes could not track it at all. As you can see the lid somehow found its way to the back of the couch behind the cushions because it had that much force.

I was planning on making myself coffee for lunch today… until I realized that the coffee machine was moved and the pot fell out of my hands and shattered all over the kitchen floor… not a good start to my day.
Yes, I did have to purchase a new coffee pot, and it should be here within 24 hours of me posting this

Before anyone else’s tells me I know zinsco is hot garbage and this panel is in my garage shop / mother in law flat . My house has a late 90’s GE panel upgrade my garage is still living in the 70’s . Im planning on replacing it soon but its a can of worms with the city and getting the panel re certified. its on a second power meter because it was a former boat prop shop business. This breaker had my freezer, the garage door lift motor and a washing machine. Yes I realize that is overloaded but I didn’t realize they shared the same circuit until yesterday.

Three bags weren't enough to hold my organic waste. It's 8am. After cleaning this up, I'm late to work too.

Around two months ago, I started getting an intense burning/stinging in my mouth and throat every time I ate or drank anything. It's got to the point that even plain, room-temperature water makes it burn really badly, like I've just eaten a ghost pepper. I almost don't want to eat or drink any more.

There's no obvious cause (though liquids seem to be worse), and I've completely stumped my doctor. Was given a cautionary diagnosis of Burning Mouth Syndrome, and prescribed this spray to help numb the pain, with a view to catch up in a week's time. I've now had to stop using it after a couple of days because it immediately makes it so much worse 😑 Back to the doctor I go!

Sorry folks. It’s long. TLDR at bottom.

Rented an apartment near a festival location in London a few months ahead of the show this summer, the place had good ratings, lots of reviews and comments that were recent. Price was mostly in line with places around although I was a bit late to booking so choice was more limited.

As we arrive things started going south fast. I had Google mapped the location so I knew it was above some shops, food- but not that it was above a super busy kebab place open all hours that had 5+ people lingering at the building front door at all times, a door we had to key in a digital code… it was awkward but we didn’t feel unsafe, but not ideal.

We get inside the main door and see furniture, beds, sofas, etc. stacked in the hallways… weird. We head up to the 3rd floor where the apartment we rented was. Inside, it’s okay, not very clean and furniture was worn, but it was 3 nights and we planned to be out in London and at the festival most of our time. At this point it’s about 10pm so we settle in for the night. Two teens and two adults. We split off. Son and I take to the couch to netflix, the others to each room to relax. I’m on the sofa facing the kitchen and out of the corner of my eye I see a little mouse run across the room, into the kitchen and disappear into a cabinet.

Ok! I freak out, I don’t much like little creatures inside the house- but given the location of the apartment above a food place and the overall less than ideal state of the place it wasn’t super shocking. I’m not in any way able to relax, but my kids and husband are not taking this as something we can do much about at this point, so and I contact the booking site to report and try to relax. It was too late to do too much at that point anyhow.

We had headed to bed contemplating how we relocate or if it was really needed at that point, it was just a little mouse. He was not seen again but the chewed up packs of sugar and milk were found in the morning (photo).

Jump to 3am. I was up to pee and take a quick look in the mirror before heading back to bed and see a brown bug on my shirt. I had never seen a bedbug before so I didn’t know what this thing was so I grabbed it in a paper, snapped a photo and went straight to google. Yep. Giant bedbug. Like old and mature. Now I am completely freaking out. Searching tells me to move all bags and clothing off the floor or to a bathroom, so here I am at 3am grabbing everyone’s stuff and sticking it in the shower. I check the beds, no signs of anything. I check our bags. Nothing. I move everything we haven’t worn in the house to the bathroom and everything that came in contact with the place on the dining table. Needless to say I didn’t sleep at all. I sat like a zombie in the corner waiting for the sun to come up so I can get everyone out.

Morning comes I have the kids strip everything they wore into a pile, and we search. Bedbugs. On one kids sweats, shirts and everything. Big suckers. We check for bites… none so far! I call the booking site immediately to find somewhere else to go- there’s no way we can stay… and they offer.. a deep cleaning today while we go out, an apology and no refund or offer to help find another place!?

I am now carefully explaining to this poor young girl handling the call that you cannot simple “clean” these off. I check the website listing, two days ago someone else complained of getting weird bites and having their food chewed up. Two days ago!! So this was not a one off. Of course I never came back to see the latest reviews, I booked a month ago.

I find a hotel that can fit all four, that day, costing way too much as it was day of the festival and it’s London- we ditch the clothes we all wore and get the hell out of there. Thank goodness we brought no extra guests with us, we even replaced my son’s shoes as he left them by the sofa (which we found bugs on before we left). Our best guess is the sofa and bed inside was the one infested as we only found them on us two who relaxed on it the night before.

On the way out we found bedbugs crawling on the furniture in the hallways too. So now we know why it was stacked there… uff.

Nightmare stay. The most infuriating part. Place is still listed after reporting it, reporting them to the council and posting a negative review along with quite a few others. Beware out there!

TLDR: booked a place that turned out to have not only mice but bedbugs. Had to ditch the clothes we were wearing and a nice pair of shoes. Lost a night of sleep and had nightmares for weeks that we brought them along with us.

Fan and light are both turned off. The string for the fan broke off with the fan at full blast, and whoever installed the fan didn't do so very well, so the fan shakes when it's on full. I basically can't use my light until I fix the fan.

Safety glass did its job, but man did it do some damage. Deer going 60, didn't even see it until impact.

The only thing he passed was volume. Every other value was off somehow in the 24 hour collection. Urologist was a little surprised with that
