Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
It would probably result in a lot of paperwork.
Probably. Whew! I know it's Friday, but is it really necessary to respond to every person that comes on the movie screen with a comment about their attractiveness? "DOES SHE HAVE A LAZY EYE?" Who the hell are you asking? And why? Shut up!
I said none of that, you understand, as I am patient and gracious and loving. Also vengeful.
In totally unrelated news, does anyone here have a compost bin? Are they much work? Er, any work at all? And tell me the truth, do they smell?
I swear this is unrelated -- the one I'm thinking of buying is too small to hold bodies anyway.
Hey, what do reasonably classy futon + frames run these days (not the damned metal ones, arms, wood, that sort of thing)? I'm seeing some prices that are equivalent to a sofa for crying out loud. I need to replace the one I have now (broken and ugly) and I'd been thinking about getting a sofa except with the heavy and hard to deliver and I really need a guest bed and maybe I should just wait and I can always find another use for the futon when I do get a couch...but damn. If it is going to cost as much as a couch....
does anyone here have a compost bin?
Yes. Actually, we have 2 -- one for food/yard waste, and one that's only for dog poo.
Are they much work?
Some.
Er, any work at all? And tell me the truth, do they smell?
If you want them to not smell, then there's some work involved, in turning the compost in the food/yard waste bin, etc.
The dog poo bin is actually just septic starter with some water, and it "digests" the poo, and there's no smell.
The food waste bin shouldn't smell bad *as long as* you only compost non-meat products. Meats, fats/oils, and dairy products will turn your compost bin into a hellhole.

So when the 6,666,666,666th person is born today, will she cry out, "Slut!"?
I'm a lazy composter and my compost pile doesn't smell, except in a vague sort of coffee grounds and banana skins way. You just have to avoid any meat or fat.

Sara, they can easily cost as much as a couch. There's no reason for them not to be able to.
Today's just never going to end.
the trainer leading these wee baby calves around in a wee baby yoke proportionate to their size.
Like Almanzo does in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Farmer Boy! Garth Williams did an adorable illustration of just that.
New dog is cute--yay Truman!!
Speaking of pets, Amarna and I just got back from the vet. Thank God I took her in; she has a fever 2-3 degrees over normal, dehydrated, and with some old hard turds in her system not coming out and lots of backed up food behind it. So, they gave her subcutaneous fluids, antibiotic, x-ray (which is how they know about the backed up food--it looks pretty cool on an X-ray, actually!), blood work (some of which is already back and pretty normal--the elevated stuff can be attributed to her being sick and stressed) and she peed on the table so they were able to send a sample off for urinalysis as well.
I'm going to stay home from the bookstore tomorrow to hear back from the vet on the test results and keep an eye on her. Good thing is that the first thing she did after emerging from her carrier was head straight for her food dish and snarf down about half of her food that she didn't even touch last night. So much for tempting a finicky sick palate! Guess I don't have to pull out the tuna water to drizzle over her kibble.
