A good, not-cheap pair of shorts that were a nice Navy Blue - now gone purple on the thighs due to UV. Grrr.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Tiktok you useless b*stards. If the comment I reported as spam isn't in violation of community standards, then why did you delete it at the same time as you told me there was no violation? And why did you also delete my comment that the spam was a reply to?

It's like Reddit with it's mass-bans for commenting on offensive or non-offensive threads that don't meet the mods' approval.

This may not be from UV. Himself had the same problem with some not all trousers fronts at the thighs. Figured it out eventually. The drugs he took were the problem. Rubbing hands on thighs released chemicals that changed the colour. I woke up to this when shopping for a recliner and there was a statement about certain medications causing colour change in some of the fabrics.
Wish I could find it now. He’s changed meds since then and it doesn’t seem to be a problem now.

I did find it quite amusing. Is that annoying 😅?

 

 

 

I do like the odd mash up, there are some good Nirvana ones. Even heard a Ghostbusters mash up a few years back.

Yep some med's can do this. Here is a list from 2016:

 

LIST OF MEDICATIONS THAT MAY STAIN OR DAMAGE CLOTHING





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Our neighbour has objected to an Open2View real estate sign going on the berm. Two other properties, down our private road, in the past couple of years, had signs in the same place. He does mow the grass in the place where the signs were.

 

He's also said it can't be placed on the other side of the private road claiming it will obscure the decorative sign showing the vanity name of the private road. (The address of all the properties is the road the private road comes from.)

I love it! Amazing editing quality, even better than this Rammstein edit:

 

 

 

 

Rammstein are aware of the meme and have referenced it several times in concerts... pity Metallica disbanded at the end of the 80s after making four albums, they might have enjoyed the video you're referencing.

*Cholesterol meds leaching through hair.*

Wish I could find the NZ retailer that had it on the website to beware of discolouration by meds’ leaching through skin, but here’s another version but for leather.

*What is little understood however, is that many oil based vitamins such as fish oil tablets and medications (including but not limited to diabetes and heart as well as many cancer treatments) can contribute to damaging your leather furniture*

If I move money from one bank to another in the week it is usually no more than an hour or so before it shows.

If I do it at the weekend........

Why? Have the computers gone to the garden centre?
