At least buildings here are properly insulated and heated.
Also, MSP has the skyway system.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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've still got snow on my balcony but because of the wonders of insulation? Warm enough. This building for actual weather thing is brilliant!
I need to evict kitty from the bed though so I can nap.I need to evict kitty from on top of my tummy so I can nap. She thinks her nap is more important than mine. Maybe I can just sleep like this. She is kinda warm.
Kat, I meant to thank you. Thank you!

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I really want a nap.
Since I have to teach again shortly, I think I'm going to have to settle for coffee instead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We're having a movie in the conference room at 3:30, but I really do have a shitload of work to do (I've been working HARD this week -- have you people noticed??), but now I don't want to do it. Bah.

I can't remember if I had to pay the excise tax on my old car when I moved up here. God knows I only registered it and got a new license when the NC registration was about to expire. And then I had the rude shock of city car insurance rates.

eta: They make you pay the tax when you get the title transfered to you. So that wouldn't apply if you buy a car out of state and then move to IL.
That bit me in the ass when I shipped my car back from Spain. It was an American car, paid for with American dollars and then shipped to Spain for me. When I came home, since the car had never been registered in the US, the state of WI made me pay tax on it. I was quite irritated at having to pay tax on a car that was three years old.

Cass, you are welcome!
Okay. I'm trying, not very hard and not very successfully, to figure out what prompted the Rosie/Donald feud.

I hate that I somehow know this (although I think it was either TDS or TCR that I found out, so maybe it's not so bad), but it had to do with the Miss USA kerfuffle. The Donald did some kind of public forgiveness thing, Rosie tsk-tsked him snarkily for it on The View, prompting DT to snark back.

You mean beyond her mocking the idea of Trump being a "moral authority" re: the whole giving Miss USA Tara Conner a second chance, and Trump firing back that Rosie's ugly and disgusting and rude?
'Cause if they have a history of bitchcakes before that, I got nothing.
