He doesn't want me spending the money. I don't want Toto getting the idea that it's ok to just have accidents in the house.

This is a road you definitely don't want to go down.

You know what, though? I'd give it a shot without a couple of times - dogs are way more resilient and capable than you'd think. Lucy's daytime walks are purely a luxury, for me as well as her. But I don't know if Toto being so little affects it, though.

"I would do anything for love, but I won't do... [performs complicated and vaguely obscene gestures] that."

Now I wanna know what "that" is. Somethinge obscene with a chicken?

Gronk. I just woke up from a school nightmare. I need to get dressed and go to therapy before class.

Today is my level 2 ultrasound. I'll know whether the next buffista baby is a boy or a girl by this afternoon.

Yay! Can't wait to hear the news.

Good luck with class tonight, Nora!

You have a very packed schedule, vw. Good luck today.

I'd offer to pay him $10, so it's not like I'd be totally taking advantage of him. My other option is to have someone come in and walk Toto, but I think I would prefer this. What do you think?

I'd tell not!Emily the situation and see what he says. I would feel bad being in an apartment with a dog that had to go. It mighht make him happy to know you prefer him. Maybe you can do something nice for him that doesn't cost $$.

My daughter was telling made-up jokes the other night. They were kind of random, but there was one I liked that she just made up.

Q: Why did the orange roll across the road?

A: Because the chicken wasn't there.

billytea, I can't remember -- are you in Canberra? Because if you are, you need to attend the Earthly Delights historical dance group's Pirates of the Caribbean Costume Ball (scroll down that page a wee bit), to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Seriously.

t edit Yarrrrrrr.

Gronklies.

I miss the meara-ing, too, (almost as much as I miss the meara herself!), but I can't seem to that much in my head these days.

Good luck to everyone starting school today!

Gud, that's an adorable joke.

Pokes head in. Hey All. I feel like a little kid with all the skipping I've been doing lately.

Gud - awwwwwwwwww.

I hate the way my awful co-worker says "Oooo-kaay" whenever you answer a question (usually it involves her having to do something) that indicates her distaste for the task at hand and doubting your sanity for asking anything of her.

Steinman produced "This Corrosion" by the Sisters of Mercy. Which causes me to forgive him for a lot of other things.

In a rare bit of Baseball / Goth intersection, Billy Beane - the General Manager of the A's - has gone on record saying that it his life's ambition to put a baseball team on the field that is as great as "This Corrsion." He's a big music fan.

In other Meatloaf news, you all know that he played Eddie in RHPS, but did you know that Mr. Loaf was also the lead singer for Ted Nugent for a few key albums?
