It's funny how distractions happen. Your finally resolved to make that database. You are in layout mode. You accidently right+click the "cable gender" area, and the mouse quickly highlights "Male" and "search Google". Bam. That browser app you quit so you could do work opens, and viola, look what is there. A YouTube called Male Restroom Etiquette.

Well, it sounds funny, you just have to watch it. 10 minutes later, your laughing at the ridiculousness (yet truth) of the CG cartoon, and think... golly, I should share this, and waste even more time.
OK, back to work, I promise.
Woohoo! Thanks Lee!
Do you still have my cell number? It hasn't changed since I moved up here. Friday dinner might be harder for me to swing, because I don't get off work until 6:00, but I should be able to work it out, and I could do whatever needed for brunch.
Lee, I wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed the photos from the scavenger hunt. If I were home I would have played along, but a little too far away from anything to get much on the list. So I lurked this time.
Thanks Laura! I think the winners are going to run another one at the end of the month or so.
re-linky?
Did you mean the scavenger hunt, Laga? That's here [link]
Happy Birthday to Katherina B and Ms. Havisham!
Congratulations Emily!
And whoo hoo! I have a working kitchen sink!
Apparently, my googled information was not quite correct. Earlier in the week I went through an entire 16 oz box of baking soda, much vinegar and several kettlefuls of water only to have no effect on the slowness of my drain.
Last night I did one last attempt - on the other side. (It's a double sink.) Nope.
So, I was going to call it in but naturally I forgot.
Then I was talking to a friend who watches that British show "How Clean is Your House" and on that show they always pour in the boiling water immediately after they do the vinegar and then they plunge.
So, that's what I did. I'm not even sure I needed to plunge because the hot water drained IMMEDIATELY.
And I had been doing v. labor intensive, inefficient dishwashing: i.e., wash a dish, rinse a dish, dry a dish, put a dish away and turn the water off between each step. Despite that my sink filled almost all the way up and I had to wait about 30 minutes 'til it cleared to try the baking soda, vinegar, boiling water trick.
I'm so happy.
Rabid tasmanian devils are more rational than a toddler.
We don't have rabies in our Tassie devils. Just contagious facial cancers.
My friend's girl twin, who is 17 months tomorrow, just started eating people
That was a
great
place to break the sentence. Gerber's soylent green!
I think we should say, "The penguin on top of your telly is about to explode!"
Am I the only person here who needs to think, "Which one?"
I hope the echidna survives unscathed.
Windsparrow, I'm in agreement with you re: cat food. Cats shouldn't be eating carbohydrates. They're only in there because they're cheap filler for pet food companies.
I highly endorse all meara meetage as she is fabulous!
SFistas! I'ma be in ur city, interviewin' 4 ur jobs!! Or, rather, in Foster City, but whatever. They just sent me an itinerary--get out to SFO around 5:30pm on Thursday the 23rd, and leave at lunchtime on Saturday. (Friday would be an all-day exhausting sort of interview). Not sure how much they'll have planned, or how much I'd be up for, but...I'll let you know!
Damn, I'm gone, but you know that. They'll have to bring you out again. And Foster City is 5 minutes from my work!!
Toto just went to mom and dad's, and now I'm sad.
ETA: ION, I am a complete idiot. I have completely run out of my main sleep/anxiety medication. I cannot believe I did that. Ugh.
Happy Birthday to Katherina B and Ms. Havisham!
Oh, yes, Birthday Happies to you both!
Yay, Emily!
Windsparrow, I'm in agreement with you re: cat food.
Thanks, Zenkitty. I just hate this feeling that the people whose expertese I should be able to count on in these circs, have gained their nutrition education via vet school classes sponsored either by Hill's or by Iams - so they are taught to think this is good stuff, but rarely stop to think those lovely sponsored classes have an agenda other than the highest scientific nutritional knowledge. Can't blame them, yet... I just have a hard time thinking that the big pet food companies have our pets' best interests as their first priority. I can believe that of some of the smaller companies, because their ingredients labels sound like real food.
ION, things I have accomplished since 7pm:
- changing the downstairs litterbox
- sweeping and vacuuming living room, dining room, kitchen
- emptying the vacuum container thingy and cleaning the filter
- laundry: a load of bath towels, the old shower curtain liner that Daniel wants to use as a tarp or something, the kitchen rug, the sheets and blanket from the guest bed
- guzzled 20oz of water
