My brother's Florida house is barely big enough for him to put a kennel in the back yard for his two Malamutes he's finally going to be reunited with (they were staying at his ex-wife's house and being mostly cared for by his kids, who were getting tired of the chore and not doing a good job). I don't know how those dogs are going to be able to handle Florida weather, though.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Good thing you like gardening, msbelle! I like a LITTLE bit of it, and frankly barely have the time for what I do have (reminds me, I need to rake the hell out of the back postage. Uhng. And leaves are about due to start being a major menace.)
I'm watching 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs on VH-1. Does the Fugees' version of "Killing Me Softly" really count as hip-hop?
One time!
I have no interest in having a yard, garden, or etc.
Hip Hop versions of old standards are pretty fundamental to hip-hop. Old R&B is the most common, but really anything is fair game, including show tunes. (Jay-Z "Hard Knock Life", I'm looking at you).
That's awesome, Calli!
I got my new tattoo today. I got a rose on my thigh. I hope it's not too cliche, but since my maiden name is Rose and my Derby name is Rose Redrum, I think it works.
What is a sandburr?
An evil, evil thing. (I'm not sure either.)
Hip Hop versions of old standards are pretty fundamental to hip-hop.
But this isn't really a hip-hop version. It's just a version.
I'd forgotten this until now, but t bob likes carrots I struck up a conversation with an elderly black lady in one of those scooters like you see at the grocery store. Turns out she lives in the elder-apartments on the stadium site. She'd been out there since the first racer (wheelchair-but they are more like recumbent bikes with hand pedals) had passed. She was cheering things like "Run like the wind! I can't walk, you run it for me!" and complimented every costume (there were tiaras and tutus, hot dogs and coffee cups, video game character and just random.) She was planning on staying out there until her carers told her the last of them had passed and they reopened the roads. "I never was an athlete, don't know why they run. But it's a thing of beauty to watch." Her friends and carers would come out to make sure she was warm enough and bring her food. But by god, she wasn't going in until the end.
People like her are why I love this city and neighborhood.
Ah, the carrots tag never closes. What is the statute of limitations on infatuation?
