Durn physics!

I just learned a bad lesson. If you put so much trash in a trash bag that you can't easily lift it, so you have to SWING it to get it moving enough so you can HEAVE it over the side of the trash toter, then the trash bag better be pretty strong.

Oops.

I'm now cleaning up the flowerbed in short stages because it's already so danged hot out.

It was quite a mess. :-(

Hefty Hefty Hefty! Wimpy Wimpy Wimpy! :)

EXACTLY!

Curse you, Physics!

[identity profile] cjsmith.livejournal.com 2006-06-17 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes indeed! And - how do I put this delicately? - cat owners know what might make a trash bag very heavy. Gah, what a mess!

This is why that always gets it's own little bag--all tied up before going into the big bag or can. Hurray for plastic grocery bags!

Oh, it did. That tore too.

Wow! You must have really heaved that!

I think it was that it went through the oleander on the way. (sheepish look)

I guess it *is* funny. :-) Now I'm laughing too!

I knew I hated oleander for a reason.

Oh, man! Thanks for the laugh! It's been years since I'd thought of that one!

[identity profile] ladycelia.livejournal.com 2006-06-17 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG--I haven't heard that for years!

Argh - I hope that wasn't a sign of your whole day (I say that only because that's how things like that usually end up for me). You need this icon. :-)

[identity profile] cjsmith.livejournal.com 2006-06-17 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, that icon is just about perfect! That and the one you use with the words "Now cut that out!"

Send me your heat! WE've been having so much rain lately, it's just been sick!

[identity profile] cjsmith.livejournal.com 2006-06-17 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love to! BZZZZZZZZZZ, that's the heat-beam!

even having eaten the live toad might not been enough :)

[identity profile] cjsmith.livejournal.com 2006-06-18 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
I think it might have been enough had I done it! :) Fortunately my day got better. I got a visit from [livejournal.com profile] ambar and a feisty big gorgeous German Shepherd. (Um, put the parsing parens in the right places so that I do not now own a dog.) Very fun.

I find it amusing to just change to a lowercase "s". I can certainly see how a feisty big gorgeous German shepherd might be fun, but Marilyn Monroe wouldn't approve -- couldn't you find a feisty bigh gorgeous German oil magnate? ;-)
