I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

Wasn't he the only straight one? I seem to recall that the one with the most gay mustache - wasn't.

Oh, really? Could be, but he always looked like leather guy from the Village People decided he was going to be flannel guy instead.

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

doom doom doom doom doom....

Can I post about how doomed we are? Us in America, anyway....

Ruben says: "This is a summary of a documentary that aired recently on Dutch national television. The documentary was based on a "script" made by an economist who was assigned the task to make a "What if" scenario about how the dollar could crash within 24 hours."

Americans are living beyond their means and Asia is currently financing that. But eventually the Asians/Europeans will stop financing the USA and then the bubble will burst.

What-if documentary about catastrophic US dollar collapse

Executive summary: Things can't keep going on like this. (Basically, to keep things going the way they have been since '99, foreign investors keep having to put higher and higher percentages of their investment in the dollar - i.e. financing us Americans so we can consume beyond our means.) But no one knows when it's going to stop and reverse itself....

eta: The link is to an excerpt from the mentioned documentary. So it focuses only on why things can't keep going on the way they are, and not on the hypothetical crash of the Dollar....

"Tank" is such the perfect name for that dog. He's cute, but not "ded from cute" cute.

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

meara and Jilli, the hair dye incident is multifold:

1. Inconsistent application/user error
2. wrong color -- espresso is NOT dark enough. I needed the next shade up. Because of number 1, I now have significantly lighter roots then ends.
3. Where the color is correct is where a little glopped onto my favorite cupcake pajamas and I didn't notice to wipe it off.

Now I think I need to go and get another box of dye and redo it a darker color. Ugh. Any suggestions?

Sounds like my Wite-Out incident. I did get it off my forehead, but it's still on my hands and my 1 and 4 numberpad keys are stuck together.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh, Kat. That sucks.

Emily too.

Enh. it's just hair. I mean it will be fine. But it's inconvenient. And it doesn't look wholely ridiculous, but it looks worse than I want it to look. However, it does NOT look threaded with gray which was what I was trying to avoid, so there's a win?

Little Man was up and playing. Then he chewed on the tag from the boppy cover while also assaulting the dog. Now he's on his bag kicking my laptop and smiling at me. Perhaps that's a sign that he must be amused NOW please?

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

Sounds like my Wite-Out incident. I did get it off my forehead...

I knew you spilled it, but what the hell else did you do? Splash around in it?

Did it explode?
