Jesus. Now I'm understanding why my friend C just moved. (Her lease was coming up and she wasn't in love with any of her furniture so she basically just trashed it all except clothing.)
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
so many people seem to choose that option and it is really contributing to the spread of them. Infested furniture and/or belongings that are not sealed up before being put in trashrooms or dumpsters or on curbs? Those bugs just scatter and look for the first person or thing to hitchhike onto for a potential new home.
I saw a treated wooden futon frame out on the street 2 days ago unwrapped. white stripes all around on the underside is a sign it has been treated. My hands were full or I would have called 311.

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 am the fly who dreams of the spider
For once, I had a lovely group at work celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary. The man of honour reminded me of my dad with all his engineering curmudgeonliness, and they surprised me with how early and efficiently they shut down and cleaned up. The caterer was a bit of a ditz, with his tromping through the flowers as he unloaded the car, and upon being told he was tromping, proceeded to "what?" and fall over the flowers some more. I mean, he literally almost took out the azaleas as well as the deadnettle he was standing in.
Otherwise, a very lovely bunch. Wish they were all like that.

OMG I want to marry this woman and have her babies....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aren't you about two feet taller than she is?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That is way cool.
Last night I dreamt I had to put down rising colour/class tensions by killing people. I don't think anyone wanted to marry me, not even the person in the dream being played by Jensen Ackles, sadly. But I had a job to do, to keep the thugs and the racists from making things worse. By shooting them in the head.

Swouncing
Skipping yet again (not having a talking-to-the-internet computer makes me feel like I have to talk with my hands tied behind my back) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is DebetEsse'a birthday.
Happy birthday, DebetEsse! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Oh, and lovely Sundays all around, of course!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I get to wish DebetEsse Happy Birthday in person tonight!

“Not dead yet!”
Well, YAY, DebetEsse! Happy Birthday!
