Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

I see 75K and think someone forgot a zero.

We went into an open house last Sunday in our neighborhood for a bungalow listed at 750K that was completely gutted and re-done inside. Things looked nice but there were some seriously stupid design decisions made (like upstairs where there is a master bath [no bathtub] without a door [one of 2 bathrooms without a door - must be a thing for them] and so anyone in the other bedroom upstairs either has to use the master bath or go down a flight of stairs. It was more important to have a master bath than to have a bathroom available to everyone up there, really?)

Because books.

See, there were lots of houses in the Central NY area in the $75,000 range. But there are no jobs, endless snow, and nothing to do if you don't like camping/lakes. So, not so much for me.

I want to own, despite the money pit Steph mentioned (which is always true), because I want to paint, and renovate, and make it MINE. Painting is usually okay wherever we've rented; ripping out walls, not so much.

Appropos of nothing, living in a college town means college guys jog by a lot. Often shirtless.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The Oatmeal has me laughing so hard after following that link to another link:

"Penis looks like a sea cucumber poking out of a wizard's robe"

I have not gotten past that text because I am laughing and crying.

[link]

BTW, no picture of said penis occurs at link. Just laughter and tears.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The Oatmeal is pretty well genius, and has given me a new tagline.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My favourite Oatmeal remains the deep-sea anglerfish. Hell, it's one of my favourite internet pages of all time.

I know we have discussed multiple personality disorders here, but I'm kinda in need of some information and I don't want to share all the details here. Anyone willing to help me out in e-mail? My profile addy is good. Basically what launched a current situation included the comment "they're back".

The Oatmeal is not looking at the right guys in just T-shirts.

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

What's the estimated %age of asexuals in the population? Do the corners of the internet I hang out with only seem ace-full because it's pretty trivial to be invisible in your asexuality in meatspace, and it's currently a hot topic of discussion in some online areas?

Also, why is my corner of tumblr suddenly filled with Thor/Loki?

Are people submitting good hot guy pictures to Jesse? Hmm?

Because books.

Can we submit hot guys in just T-shirts? No?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Has anyone here used any of the FlyLady products? I think the email digests are brainwashing me because I find myself thinking "if only I had a rubba sweepa my floors would be so clean!"

OTOH, I do really need a new mop & broom, since the ones I have now were left in the apt by the previous owners and are old and crappy. So I may as well buy the purple cult-approved ones, right?
