    My home internet was out all night last night and this morning and I called the cable company from work today. They're sending someone out this afternoon and you just KNOW it'll be working before they get there.

    So I'm pre-irked. :)

    Why can’t Target just sell a real slip n slide instead of the *kitten* piece of *kitten*? It doesn’t even have real hose connectors. Just a rubbery piece that the hose kind of fits inside. Not even a real hose port thing. And it’s not spraying out at all. Get your *kitten* together Target. 🙄

    And now he’s using a sprinkler from the freaking dollar store my dad let him get and it’s actually working. Go figure.

    clear plastic drop cover from the hardware store and some baby oil usually works pretty good in tandem with that sprinkler

    That's actually smarter since you're doing a load of laundry at the same time!

    A big blue tarp and a garden sprinkler is 100% better anyway....

    True! I think it irks me more it's going to probably interfere with my exercise schedule which I'm probably a little...dysfunctional about. I likes me food so try to wring every last calorie burn I can out of my non existent life.

    And Target! Why don't they have actual sales on food instead of only sale prices on groceries with same day shipping!

    That I’m a control freak with very little control over anything in my life 🤠

    FWIW, I'm a fixer and a problem solver... but I'm more broken than anyone I know.

    I am sorry for the Facebook post earlier in this thread. It was a joke and I was messing with you like I do with all my friends. I had no intention of hurting anyone's feelings. I can't imagine that it called for a warning, but whatever.

    All good, no worries.

    So many little toesies to worry about, though.

    I hate slip n slides.

    I’ve been telling them no all summer. I’m not a worrier over my kids getting physically hurt all the time but the slip n slide just seems bad. Hurl yourself onto the hard ground repeatedly? My kids normally do that without trying.

    Well, this was from yesterday and another thread but it belongs here…

    Dudes. Some of us like clean restrooms. This includes floors and walls around urinals.

    Pro tip… you can go from spray to stream with a simple and gentle north /south squeeze before opening the nozzle full throttle.

    If that doesn’t work for some reason give ol’ boy an gentle east / west tug.

    I don’t wanna stand in your piss and don’t appreciate seeing it everywhere around the porcelain.

    Pop a squat if you can’t hit the bullseye.

    Best post yet!! 🤣 👍
