I learned today it will cost me $950 to replace my kitchen lighting. Just spend that money to maintain your standard of living or else you lose.

Just leave your fridge open. If that`s not enough light, open a campfire in the middle of the room.
950 seems just too much

what the fuck?
does that include a whole new kitchen?

standard light fittings are about £1 each. 1.5mm2 twin and earth cable is about 50p a metre. Flourescent tube fittings are about £10. Spotlights are around £10. Somebody is taking the piss

I like your style.

But yeah Lush, $950 does seem a bit steep. Couldn't you find a team of illegals? They sell 'em in the parking lot at Home Depot. Those dudes would do the job for a quarter that price.

or ship me over and I can do it for you. If that fails the house will go on fire and you can find a new one

Not everyone has the skill set necessary to do electrical work. Those people pay people like you to do it for them. You should really look into getting certified Viking. There is great coin to be made.

After re-watching this Deftones video, I learned that it`s looking super stupid when a middle aged man rides a skateboard in highschool. Pervert!

Today I learned you can't trust a Muzzie. It's another reason I don't go out at night.

Got some really nice shorts today. They're very light and comfortable and, although they have belt loops, they came with an elastic waist band and a draw string, so I rocked the draw string. I did well with them UNTIL I had to piss really bad. Wouldn't have been an issue except I forgot about the draw string, which was hanging down around my pecker. Well, it kind of went like this.

Zipper, drawstring and belt loops. Sounds like one complex pair of shorts.

Yeah, exactly. But I'm officially 60 years old and drunk as fuck. So there.
