A long time ago when a certain Georgia governor became president of the USA I seriously entertained thoughts of immigrating to Australia. I had a teaching degree and figured I would be sought after. But then I discovered that, at that time, Australia did not allow disabled persons permanent resident status, let alone immigration. So, I stuck it out here in the good 'ole USA. It's far from perfect here but there are very few other places I would rather live.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

I presume you mean the peanut farmer? Couldn't blame you at the time. I loved Pittsburgh when I went there, the climate is very English. I also liked the American West Coast around San Fran, again lovely climate. But in both cases, the nonsensical USA political system would put me off it. Australia sounds nice for a visit or holiday, but I wouldn't want to live there either. I'll stick to England thanks.

Our system may be nonsensical but I think it is the only system that works for such a large diverse country, other than having a monarch or a dictator.

Dumbest things I did recently... let me think... lets look at Wednesday... hooked myself on the doorhandle of the post office so dislodging it from its doorstop and allowing myself to be dragged back out of it backwards. This gave an e-bay seller time to join the already long queue of what had become somewhat bemused people in front of me... which meant my brain atrophied by the time I was served and left me asking to purchase a book of post offices instead of stamps. Got home... washed the kitchen floor in time for the washing machine to discharge dirty water all over it. Cleared up the mess, dried the floor and mended the machine... but forgot to plumb it back in afterwards... finally hung out THAT load of washing and pegged out the last sock... which was the last straw for the line - which snapped... depositing everything in the mud beneath it. Then had to retrieve my son's phone from the couch. It had gone so far inside I had to turn the couch upside down and remove the hessian bottom, staple by staple. Had the good idea to vacuum the inside whilst I was at it and with that job done I went off to find the staple gun, and set to work re-stapling the hessian. Flushed with success I decided to do a bit more vacuuming... and discovered all my nozzles missing. Refused to accept I'd been THAT stupid for about an hour... but eventually had to accept that I had... unstapled the hessian again and found my missing nozzles. Answered the phone... made myself a well deserved coffee... complete with fly... then restapled the couch. Put it back upright, made another coffee... then went to find out where the muffled yowling was coming from and why... and had to upend the couch and unstaple the hessian again to release three cats...

Wrote on my my new (to me) dishwasher in what I thought was non-permanent marker, then tried to correct my mistake with nail polish remover. I have part melted the plastic front and simply smeared the ink into it.

Not me, but someone I work with...
He went out for a run, leaving a door unlocked, which is quite normal and safe where he lives. He got back to find the house locked up, and a light on in his grandson's room. Grandson had turned up early, locked up (he's at uni in Central London, so very security conscious). Have you ever tried to arouse a slumbering student???

Yes... and it fell asleep with her earphones in whilst listening to music... which is why I got stuck in the catflap...

The cats are fine... thank you for asking! :)

As to it being a bad day... it is a shining example amongst many I must say :)

I once bought a 2006 Green Mustang GT, when I should have bought a 2007 Orange Mustang GT, I wonder is that dumb enough?
