Devi drools when she naps. Huh.

You know what smells good? Vintage Western Candles' Prairie Grass. Must find more online. Also, the other that came in the package, Tyler's Pumpkin Spice. Extra extra kudos to msbelle for these.

I'm just in a mood to smell nice things, and this works well.

Someone colder than me needs to try this.

Michael has come back to Donna, and she'll never sleep with her daughter's ex-husband ever again. Which is a shame, since he's got BBOC factor in spades.

I was thinking that the link related to the paragraph following. I'm so confused.

No idea about that para either, Laura.

In any case, I used to have relatives who could do that water trick some winters in SD. Not so much this winter, though. Uncle is worried about lack of a good freeze.

Oh, that reminds me of something that startled me this past summer. My uncle is wired. Seriously, his tractors are now GPS driven. It shouldn't surprise me, since he's one of the few successful family farmers left in the area (rest are tenants of Monsanto and ilk,) and he's accomplished that by innovation and adoption, and is doing well. But Uncle C... the last sort of person you'd expect to speak gps and satellites. He's a drawling, farmertanned, sunburnt midwesterner, still wearing Navy issue 1970s-era glasses.

And, um... there are ants living in my keyboard. AHRg.

I love this. Enough to almost make me wish I remembered how to knit.

Project Runway: Now the scene I saw being filmed last spring makes a helluva lot more sense! (Tim repeatedly walking past a bunch of dancing models in windows carrying a ballot box.)

I remember I found it after doing a search on something kinda off-colour, but damned if I know what or when now.

Ants! Me too -- every time I sit in the living room with the laptop I get an ant crawling across the keyboard. I suspect they're after the heat.

I hope.

Not only has this day been dipped in molasses, it is now being mauled by three-toed sloths.

Two-toeds are crabbier.

Yep, Theodosia. That stuff sucks but it is rife in American "healthcare". I would have been better off if I'd been hit by a bus than getting RSI. The things that *work* for treating my condition aren't covered by insurance. They're willing to pay for surgery (which has a bad success rate in the case of RSI) but unwilling to pay for the kind of physical therapy, biofeedback and other sorts of retraining that can return someone to close to their former state. I'm glad your housemate is getting some good preventative and non-invasive treatment.
