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.
I have no dad... less annoyance, less fixy things....
>took Pico back to the vet tonight because four days off the meds, he's lost almost all interest in food again. So tomorrow he goes in and gets put under to lance the abscess. (If it is an abscess.) Poor little guy.
Poor Pico. I hope he feels better soon...
I wish my dad did that!
My paternal grandfather was like that. He'd come to visit and wind up rewiring things and painting the house and digging a garden. Part of it was restlessness, most of it was wanting to do something for all of us.
Oy. I just saw a commercial advertising that Lucky Charms is "made with whole grain." Throwing a bit of whole wheat into a box of sugar doesn't make it any less a box of sugar.
I've got a few ceiling lights that need new light bulbs, and I can't reach them even on a stepstool. My parents were visiting this weekend, but I forgot to ask my dad to help.
In other news, I am dying to make one of these. I'm trying to figure out how. I need a thinner piece of foam than I have.
How thin is what you have? Too thin to slice through it with an electric knife?
Too thin to slice through it with an electric knife?
Or with one of Sparky's knives after her Dad visits?
So I'm watching a PBS documentary on Pocohontas that says that the Pocohontas story is one of the most famous stories. In the world. Books, movies, songs, plays...their meeting is of legend.
From watching it I understand how important it is to US history, but before the Disney movie? I wasn't that familiar with it, and I'm wondering how much the rest of the world cared.
In the world? It wouldn't really have occurred to me that it would have much play outside the US.
Huh. I knew the Pocahontas story, but that was mostly because I spent one summer reading every one of this series of kids biographies at the local library. (It was an odd series. Generally about 90% of the book was about the person's life as a kid, and then a few pages about what they did as adults. Also, every one was exactly 200 pages. If the text itself didn't get to 200, then there would be timelines or lists of places they lived or other stuff like that thrown onto the end to make it to 200.)
I remember at a trivia night a few months ago, many people mixed up Pocahontas and Sacajawea.
