Consuela, good thoughts for you and your mom.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Fingers crossed for your mom, and you, Consuela. I hope they figure it out soon, and that it's something healable/mendable.

I can see where that would be worrisome, Fred. I hope everything works out alright for your household.
My employer is mostly (~90%) funded by USAID and the CDC. I have no idea what will happen to us if the government shuts down. It probably depends on how long and how things are arranged when they re-open.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You mean Fox News?

No, their efforts are towards creating an uneducated underclass who can't question the Republican Party.

Sort of the crux of Dana Gould's joke.

Seriously. I wonder what affect it would have on the agency we work for. And my company. huh.
Best wishes for your mom, Consuela. I hope they can figure out what is up with her quickly.

Yeah, mr. flea is a fed and would be furloughed if the govmint shuts down. He makes 2/3 of our household income. On the plus side, if it happens I am making him do a TON of home improvement projects, the kind that are really cheap supply-wise but take a lot of labor (like, gravelling the driveway and building a retaining wall).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
feels like? I actually believe that is the case . which means I've slid over into the conspiracy theorist camp. However after reading what Walker did, it may be more possible than I thought it was

Fox News and the Republican Party are just the henchmen.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Already, my fence is finished, and looks great. I can definitely recommend the Borg for anyone's fencing needs. That don't involve fighting with pointy things, I don't know how they are with that.
And there was apparently a mermaid weather vane in the stash of scrap metal behind the secondary shed. Score!
