Oops. I meant pet sitter, or something.
Look, over there-- something shiny!
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I don't know if this has been linked to yet, but car buffs might want to check it out: [link] A nyt article on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, "the fastest, most powerful and - no surprise - most expensive production car in the world..."Whoa... That's the shiniest!
I would pay someone $100 to clean my house right now. I really would.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh my - this is so cool:
NEW YORK - Everyone loves to be loved and needs to be needed.
That, at least, is the tagline of a bizarre new line of plush robotic dolls called the Needies. Clingy, jealous, and possessive, Needies want nothing short of your undying love and attention--and they're prepared to fight one another to get it.
Pick one up and give him a squeeze, and he'll reward you with fond words, flattery or a special Needie song. But soon his Needie siblings will start to complain.
"Is it my turn yet?" one might sullenly whine.
"Me! Me! Me!" another may shriek.
"Throw him," a particularly desperate Needie might even command. "THROW HIM!"
Each Needie, you see, has a microcontroller hidden inside his soft, stuffed belly that not only registers when he is touched but also broadcasts that information to the other dolls. As long as you spread your love evenly among the three Needies (named Brettie, Dannie and Mossie after their designers), they remain more or less content. But the minute one Needie perceives an imbalance of attention, he'll start to give you an earful.
"Dannie's getting touched!" whines Mossie. "Oh, filthy."
"Shut up, Mossie," Dannie snaps back.
Sadly, they haven't found a company to make the dolls yet....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
they haven't found a company to make the dolls yet....
Didn't god already make them and call them cats/dogs/insert-pet-you-don't-grok-here?
Another great photomanip contest from Worth1000.

I am at the sitting around with dye on my head stage..Reminds me that while I am no longer a redhead, my bathtub is also no longer white. I can't recall if scrubbing bubbles beat semi-perm. It's the domestic rock, paper, scissors.
Sadly, they haven't found a company to make the dolls yet...Nooooooooooooooooo!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I think I remember using scrubbing bubbles back when I had a white tub and it working.
I need to repink the back of my head, because I didn't heat process last time and it's already salmony. Damn.
Also, if you find someone to clean for $100, send them our way.
Lori's excavating the Winter room and I'm in the Summer Room pottering around. Dogs are wigging out. Turkey is soon for the oven.
Maybe when we finish, we'll go to REI so Lori can look at bikes.

Ugh. I don't want to think about how much cleaning I need to do this week.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I think I remember using scrubbing bubbles back when I had a white tub and it working.I just covered most of the bathroom in them. In a few minutes, we'll know for sure.
It's much more disturbing to me than usual because it usually looks like I killed Barney and now it just looks dirty. Perhaps I should rethink this new color thing.
Also, if you find someone to clean for $100, send them our way.Actually I was handed a flyer in the Trader Joe's parking lot a few weeks ago from a woman that has tons of experience, references and everything. I talked with her for a few minutes. And then promptly put the flyer in my purse where it hid for a while.
I just refound the flyer with her number and left a message. Studio $40, 1 Bed $50, 2 Bed $60 and 3 Bed $70. But this place needs a seriously deep cleaning so I would happily pay her double ($120) for the first clean.
If she's got a clone in LA, you're set.

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "
Reminds me that while I am no longer a redhead, my bathtub is also no longer white. I can't recall if scrubbing bubbles beat semi-perm. It's the domestic rock, paper, scissors.
Oxyclean always gets the kink out of my hippie bathtubs, but then again, I only use Level 2. So, maybe?
