I said six-pack!

Oopsie. Dunno what my brain did there....

(I haven't had my caffeine yet. But I'm not addicted. I can quit any time.)

Get two, in case the first one breaks?

The other day I saw I guy walk out of a liquor store and immediately drop his bottle of vodka, which went all smashy-poo. Without missing a beat he just turned around and walked back into the liquor store.

Awww....

THOMASVILLE, Ga. -- A Georgia woman bloodied in a car wreck says she owes her life to a German shepherd who--thankfully--just wouldn't stay in his yard.

Shannon Lorio says that after her car careered down an embankment, the wayward dog found her bruised and battered on the vehicle's trunk, dragged her about 50 yards through briars to a highway and let her lean against him so she could flag down a passing motorist.

His new name: Hero.

"That dog is always going to have a special place in my heart," Lorio said Friday. "He's my hero."

His previous owners signed him over to the Thomasville-Thomas County Humane Society after the Jan. 26 accident because he kept wandering off.

He won't be in the shelter long. At least 50 people offered to adopt him.

Lorio, 36, of Pavo said she can't adopt Hero because she already has six dogs, but she's showered him with gifts.

"If he ever needs anything, I'll be there," she said.

Dog trainer Heidy Drawdy of Thomasville will take Hero to see if he's cut out to be a search and rescue dog.

First item on the agenda for the wandering canine: obedience training.

Timelies all!

G just left for the airport. His business trips seem to inspire mixed feelings in me. On the one hand, I miss him when he's away and the house can seem too quiet. On the other hand, I can do what I like without worrying about bothering him. Sigh...

Awesome good doggie!

Apparently he's been busy - this article from the local paper reports rumors of him having rescued a family from a burning home a week earlier.

And here is the dog, shown winning second place for best dressed pooch: [link]

(Kidding.)

ARGH! In going through the week's mail, I discovered that someone has been using my Macy's card again. MotherFUCKERS. I'm just going to cancel the card, since I never use it. What kills me is, I never get a bill, just the letter from the collection agency saying "I"'m four months late. ISTG.

ION, how late do you think I have to wait until it's safe to go to Target? 3pm?

Also, will the place I did consulting for send me a tax form, or is that on me? I know how much I billed them for, so theoretically I could file today, but if they're sending me something, I'll wait for it.

They should send you a 1099, but some small companies never get around to it. They've got until Feb. 28.

Oh, bummer -- I thought they only had through January.
