Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've driven straight through from Madison to Amherst, MA, and then back. About 19 hours one way and 20 hours the other way. I packed some sandwiches and iced tea, and periodically took a No-Doze. I'd drive up to six hours or more without stopping, then just stop long enough to get gas and go pee.
Fun trip, but I was fried at the end. I'm too old to do anything like that now.
Much health-ma to Hec's friend and to Teddy and to Hil's former babysitting client.
Man, first I get up late, then I get something I ordered (much needed for the office) and it comes in all wrong -- incomplete and with tons of typos and I need more coffee and I had to eat my breakfast sandwich cold and I really, really want to go back to bed.
Ah, frell. That includes FNL. Hopefully they will be Amazonable.
Thanks for the thoughts for Teddy. We're particularly happy about cutting out the liquids. Lactulose is very sticky and messes up his fur something awful. Aluminum hydroxide is very chalky and icky, and the 3 ml dosage was really more than a mouthful, which meant white stains everywhere.
I hope for the best for Teddy.
Mike Rowe article for Theo: [link]
“TV does a bad job of portraying common people,” he said as recycling workers drove by with forklifts hauling giant bricks of crushed cans. “By and large they are either turned into heroes, with a lot of dramatic cello music behind everyday activities, or they are reduced to these punch lines."
I can't say I watch Dirty Jobs frequently, but I do get pleasure out of watching a show with people like my Dad on it. Especially after eight hours of L&O reruns.
Yay! Woke up to the news that Iowa will have to allow gay marriages, at least until the legislature hurriedly 'plugs up' the threat by some state Constitutional amendment!
I imagine that will be their top priority now. People will have to act fast.
It looks like Bush is planning to rush some legislation to help people keep their homes in the current mortgage crisis.
Good on him. I hope something can be hammered out to help people restructure their loans to stay in their home.
I heard an idea being floated to allow people whose homes have been foreclosed on to keep living in the home and pay a fair market rent.
Basically, they would lose their property, but they wouldn't be kicked out on the street.
It makes sense to me.
Tom, insent with a quick question.
