I'm with bon-- I am still a little skeptical until a toy boat fetishist explains it all.
Someone needs to post an appeal on craigslist, looking for a toy boat fetishist to Explain Everything.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Tonight is Date Night, sponsored by the daycare center at our gym. For $10, they will babysit the kids for 2 1/2 hours at the gym while we go out.
That's so cool! I should find out if there's anything like that here. (Probably not for kids under 2, but it would be good to know for the future.)

Now I'm earwormed with Lynard Skynard.
So, no one google "toy duck fetishists"!
What about "dead gay toy duck fetishists"?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Doesn't your city give you recycling containers?
They do have containers, but they're pretty small for our use. We go through a lot of recycable containers (soda cans, jars--apple sauce, jam, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, etc., plastic bottles of juices and milk, beer & wine bottles, etc.) and our pick up is only every other week. So we used heavy-duty, lidded, 33 gallon trash bins to hold all the stuff.
There have been reports of recycling scavengers in the newspaper--and a letter from the city because it's stealing revenue from them. I suspect that the lure of the aluminum theft is tempting because it's easy money on the night before trash/recycling collections.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm still not convinced. With this origin story, wouldn't you just become a vibrator fetishist? It just doesn't seem confined to boats. It could be a wind-up duck, but I don't see toy duck fetishists!
My other issue is that on the map the toy boats were near the latex and rubber stuff.

Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee sprinter who was barred from able-bodied competition in January, will be allowed to pursue his dream of qualifying for the Olympic Games after an unexpected decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
I think the decisions/reactions to this have been really interesting in where people think the lines should be drawn.

Cashmere, that is totally irritating!
Saturday we are cleaning the garage since neighborkitty has been stealing more than socks and underwear out of there. Then we are going to the strawberry festival in Oxnard.
Sunday I am taking Noah to the Little Tokyo Funfest with Lori and then we are going to Milk and Bookies at Storyopolis.
Sox, I'm writing up a Vegas + Baby article for you. It may take a while.
