Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

It's kind of amazing, the great gobs of fur you end up with. In fact, I'm Furminating Walter right now AIFG.

We have a loop-style shedding blade, and it works okay, but after looking on the Furminator site, we're definitely getting one.

Since my last post 3 hours ago, I have: brushed the dogs, taken my car to get it washed and cleaned inside, bought a newspaper, vacuumed the 4 main hairy rooms (kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathroom), and now I'm eating some chicken nuggets to fuel up before shredding old bills.

I think I need a beer.

The Furminator really does work so much better than the shedding blade, which we had thought was the shit for our sheddy double-coated dogs. Try Amazon for better prices on the Furminator.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My nephew doesn't really seem interested in playing with me, and my neice pretty much cries if I look at her.

I'm disowning them.

You guys. I can't get off the sofa!

There must be a virus going around. I got up at nine to go for groceries, adn finally made it there around 1. And that's all I've done today.

Matt, was it boy penetration?

Boy-on-girl from what I gathered, though I didn't stay past the female mudwrestling opener.

The real fun was bumping into the head of my university's honors program and his classy, sophisticated colleague/date on Bourbon Street right in front of the place with the mannequin legs pistoning in and out of the wall.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I... took a shower. Now maybe bills.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I put away laundry, cleaned the bathroom, emptied, scrubbed and refilled the catbox, and now to swiffer the joint. That is, if I can get back off the couch myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is possibly a ridiculous question, but: I got nice new towels for Christmas (yay!). Is there any reason to do anything with my sad old towels other than just put them in the trash?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like to keep old towels around to mop up icky spills with. And for when I'm dying my hair.

Today I have: taken cough syrup and proceeded to sit on my butt not doing anything rpoductive but also not coughing, so that's a win.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Old towels are also good for drying off pets.
