The phrase "government diapers" makes me laugh, sorry.
And I would never put chili on spaghetti! At home -- if I were in Cincy or similar, of course I would sample the local customs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Art Crawl!!!
Eventing Nation has a picture of the naughty horse that tossed his rider and went running through the parade at the wedding yesterday.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
First 'day' of the job ran 3 hours, because they didn't have the computer set up for me, the guy who actually shows me what to do isn't in until Tuesday, and my new manager was only in until 3 PM. So a bit of an anti-climax, but encouraging that I'll be treated OK if I can tolerate some messiness.
Also salving my expectations: I'll get paid more for those three hours than I would working for 12 hours at the grocery store. o.O

Woo, Theo!
I have no scanned baby pictures. But I too was a bald child. My grandma used to spit on my head to make the hair grow. (Heh, it worked! Heh.) Also, I would have bows taped my my head also for pictures.
Anyone have a link to the pix from the first F2F? I didn't have anything fancy like a digital camera, back in The Old Days. I don't even think any of us had texting when we had that party.
I know I had my sister's old blue Nokia. It had voice mail, and worked in Chicago. That's all I asked for.

Sea World in Ohio? It's closed!!
I know! It's tragic. It was my favoritest place to go ever ever. Once I was old enough to realize I had a choice, I elected to take my one closest friend on a trip to Sea World instead of have a party at home with many friends (hello, introversion, I have always been you) every year for my birthday. It's the friend just over cancer I went to visit this year, in fact!
When did it close? Would it still have been open in 1991 or so? I think that photo was the last time I ever went. I miss my dad being young and able to do stuff like that. Anyway, we loved it, we did, even more than Geauga Lake, which we also loved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I've cut way back on posting scary political news because it's depressing, but I've decided to make an exception.
How scary is it that the person now leading in the polls for the Republican nomination for president (Trump) is openly advocating invading other countries and taking their oil?
If he wins the nomination, I hope a majority of Americans will realize he's batshit insane. (Wait, which is more crazy: batshit or bugfuck?)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Blrgh. I was supposed to be spending the day slounging and reading fic while I did laundry, but now it looks like I'm going to be working while I do laundry instead.
At least I don't need to go in to work though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If he wins the nomination, I hope a majority of Americans will realize he's batshit insane. (Wait, which is more crazy: batshit or bugfuck?)
Guano has commercial value, so I'm going wih bugfuck. 'Cause really, not only do you have to have one seriously messed up private life to go for that, but I'm seeing a certain level of obsessiveness in figuring how to make it even work.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
And I would never put chili on spaghetti! At home -- if I were in Cincy or similar, of course I would sample the local customs.
I when I make chili at home, it's not like Skyline, and I don't put it on spaghetti, because it's really thick and beany and meaty. I just shovel it straight out of the bowl like some kind of ranch hand.
The only chili I have over spaghetti is Skyline, since it's so soupy that it's more like a sauce. I'm always bemused that they offer it in a bowl for people who are GF/low-carb. Because it's a bowl of soupy glop. (And for the ultimate GF coney dog experience, they will cut up about 4 hot dogs into your bowl of gloppy chili. Gnnnagh.)
Skyline is kinda good on a potato, but they stopped offering potatoes on their menu, which makes it really fucking hard for a GF person to eat there. It's like, Greek salad, bowl of glop, or fries. Sadface.
Hmmm. Now I want chili. (My chili, not Skyline.) And I have none. Woe is me. No one knows my pain.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The big event for the weekend for us is the silent auction at the kids' school. Date night! Makes up for last night, when I went from work to my MiL's house to babysit while Aunty went out to dinner and a movie. I did enjoy hanging out with my MiL, we rewatched the royal wedding (rewatch for her, first watch for me).
Kids and husband stayed home and got haircuts. They are now all adorable. Me? I'm still unkempt.
