Did you know that your trickling motivation sounds surprisingly similar to a crying baby who's pooped his pants?
Huh. No, I didn't. As long as it smells different, that's fine.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Actually the title was Real Women Don't Pump Gas.
Right, yes. That's what I was thinking, but somehow didn't type...
It was an unofficial followup to Real Men Don't Eat Quiche.
Yes, exactly! There was a flood of those tiny pamphlet books after that.

Again, thanks for the birthday happies. I did decide to blow off going up to Maine, at least for today. And, lo-and-behold, it seems to have stopped raining. Which will probably last until about halfway through where ever I try to go later.
Yep, I'm being lazy. I think I get to today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm bored. And there seems to be far fewer blog posts today, pro'lly because of the upcoming holiday weekend.

Pumping your own gas is just wrong. ::nods::
What is wrong with you people? I'm too much of a control freak to let anyone pump my gas. I love my car. I don' want no one messin' wit my car.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I left my watch at home. I feel neekid.
A couple of summers ago we drove through Oregon on the way to a softball tournament and I purposely stopped for gas there. The kids were kinda freaked out to have service at a service station.
Happy Birthday, Frank!!!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Mom had a worrying crisis when the owner of the last local full service station retired and she was faced with the prospect of pumping her own gas. I don't quite get how a woman who held our family together through Dad's brain surgery and paralysis, kept a roof over our heads despite hundreds of thousands in medical bills, and managed the care of her mother for two years once strokes rendered her invalid could find pushing a spigot into the gas tank and squeezing the handle such a daunting challenge.
