Tuesday’s Troubles

It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before (like every week), but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is.  And yes, I do realize that these aren’t true “troubles”. I know that many of these for sure could be defined as first world problems!

~You know how obsessed I am with MH370 and how no one has uncovered any pieces of the plane yet. Basically we “think” we know where it is, but we have no idea why it’s so far off course, who was at the controls, what the motive was, etc. I don’t have a fear of flying, but the next time I am flying somewhere with no radar coverage, I am going to be mighty nervous. Why didn’t I realize that so much of the planet wasn’t covered? I just assumed someone was tracking every single plane at all time. Turns out that’s a no.

~I keep reading / hearing all about oil pulling so it’s about time we discuss it here. The thought of it makes me want to vomit, but I am intrigued that it could make my teeth brighter in just days. I am totally down for that. Should I try this? Is it crazy? Do you do it? Give me all the scoop!

~Ugh. There are certain household appliances (I guess you could call it that) that I hate and the garbage disposal is my biggest nemesis. The number of things I have crushed up on accident in that thing is unreal. I hope B’s not reading this (he’s traveling today so I hope he’s too busy for this), but just yesterday there was a bit of an accident with the metal lid to his water bottle. I’ve accidentally disposed of a glass jar, numerous pieces of silverware, sippy cup pieces, a fish (RIP Ralphie) and many many more things. Why why why isn’t there some sort of sensor on that thing? Something that won’t let it turn on if it senses, umm, metal? Or plastic? Or something other than food?  Because yeah, that would save me a lot of trouble with B.

~Despite being on the Do Not Call List (is that thing even for real) my cell phone has been blowing up with crazy telemarketer calls (not even real people – recordings which drives me even crazier).  So I am complaining about it to B and he’s all why don’t you just block them?  Umm, what?  Yeah, I didn’t know you could block people from your iPhone.  What other secret things does this thing do that I am missing out on?  And does anyone else hate those stupid recorded telemarked calls?  Dude, stop calling me about getting an extended warranty on a lease car I turned in 5 years ago.  I don’t want that.

~And finally, I don’t know how it snuck up on me, but this weekend is Easter!  And B’s birthday (Friday) and WB’s birthday (Saturday).  I have some stuff from subscription boxes that I have put aside for WB’s birthday, but Easter.  What are you doing for Easter baskets this year?  I mean what’s the bunny doing if you celebrate.  Are swim trunks lame? I’ll do a little candy, but we don’t need any more toys that’s for sure.  Swim trunks?  Books?  New crocs?  Would our bunny be lame to only include useful items?

That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
