"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It was especially so before we figured out what was going on, because he was complaining about being cold, and he's *never* cold.

This is exactly how I felt last night. Until I hit the point of teeth chattering, I didn't know what was going on (especially since I felt more tired than achey at that point).

I just took a hot shower and checked my temprature. It's somewhere around 98.8, so, YAY!, mostly gone. Still feel achey as hell though. I'm gonna park my ass on the couch under a comforter and get caught up on some DVR'd shows.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

hivemind request - anyone know a government site with transcripts of Congressional testimony - specifically looking for Gore's 3/21 stuff.

Frank! I was just thinking about you 'cause I returned to your latest mix and have been enjoying it yesterday and today. Feel better!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I think they should send Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and Steve Jobs into space. And then let them fight.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Hope you're feeling better, Frankenbuddha!! Random sickness is really of the ugh, especially on a Wednesday.

Speaking of ugh, we have three inches of that nasty heavy slushy snow, and it's still coming down with a very heavy east wind that blew right into my face as I walked into the office this morning. I hope that they let us go home early, but I know that it'll have to come down a lot harder before that happens.

Msbelle, for congressional testimony of all sorts, try Firedoglake.com.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hamster Powered Paper Shredder

See, this is the circle of life. This concept design of a hamster cage almost leaves me speechless. The paper shredder on top of the cage is powered by the hamster and it created the paper that can serve as the hamster bedding.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Got up early this morning. The house is still a disaster zone and I need to sort through clothing to make it better. Which means I need to figure out what my ever changing body is really doing which is no fun.

ita, if you ahve wine colored cushions, and I think you do, I'll take those!

Now tagless for your comfort.

msbelle, Here's a comprehensive blog list of Gore's testimony coverage. I hope someone's got the transcripts. It's got it on YouTube, too.

Here's a searchable database for congressional hearings.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm sad, but there's no way I can de-dust as many cushions as I own on a usefully regular basis.

There's a tannin-based spray [link] that kills dust mites, and it doesn't seem to stain.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Dammit. It looks like Dana & I are sleep issue twins and Matt & I are cold twins. Could the rest of you stay happy and healthy today so I can get some rest?

This evening I go out to the land with our foundation guy, and I'm sure to be completely incoherent and ask things like, so can you dig a hole here?
