I'd like to say 4 words Buffistas might appreciate: Black. Patent. Pillbox. Hat.

grabby hands

Yes, pictures. I demand them.

Gronk. I'm on a film shoot this week and next and it's just a bunch of 12 hour shooting days and I'm beat.

Aw ND! Is the flu stuff at least all gone? 12 hour days with flu sucks more. Hopefully it's warm where they are shooting.

Laga! So good to see your pixels!! And congrats on the promotion!!!

I may have found a bed I like that is afordable! $630 for the bed and headboard (not mattress). Here is link to see it. [link] Queen sized storage bed. 8 drawers, plus the shelves in the headboard. Just waiting to hear what the construction materials are. It says veneer with solids. I wanna make sure it's not particle board.

Tomorrow I'm helping my friends M&C paint their new house! I am approaching it like an Amish bard raising party. I will be with "the ladies" and help with the refreshments. I'm also lending my super cool Wagner Power Roller. But making BIG lasagna and cheesy garlic bread to feed the folks helping out.

Energy~ma, ND.

My computer is ready to be picked up today! Finally!

This is a medical thing I that involves a male issue.

My left ball tends to sag or retreat a lot - to the point of pain. I found that if I improvise a kind ball bra from coband, to support it an prevent it retreating not only does that pain vanish, so does the pain in my hip and abductor muscles I've been suffering from. Coband needs daily replacement so what do I need instead? Will a jock strap work? As I remember from playing sports many moons ago, they provide support and will lift, but I don't know how well they will do at preventing retreat. Do I need a hernia belt? I'm definitely going to see doctor to find out what is going on, but I'm trying to find a temporary solution until the doctor can see me that will relieve pain in some way other than replacing a one dollar dressing on a daily basis.

Well, this is certainly not the typical kind of ball discussion that we have in Bitches.

I can't imagine that a jock strap would work much better than a pair of tight fitting briefs. In the grand scheme of things, $1 a day isn't much if it's working (although I can see how the waste aspect of it would be annoying)

Could be a hernia, Typo. When I had my hernia, the only time I wore a belt was after the surgery, so it was worn around the waist and hips and wouldn't have been much help for your needs.

Dance belt maybe?

So I actually did go home after that last post (AIWFG).

I decided I wanted to at least prove my non-rant existence, so here I am, not ranting.

I also heartily approve of actual gold stars. And may totally copy you to get my getting back into exercising regimen off its feet.

Of course, now I need to go deal with my dryer, which has the charming new feature of the bell dinging when the load is dry (and often before), but never actually shutting off. I should go deal with my hot clothes (no cool down cycle anymore) now, I just noticed it's been dinging for a while. Appliances are fun! Though I suppose I shouldn't bitch...appliances that are actually in the color Harvest Gold probably should have been dead long ago...

You know how violence is never the answer?

My sister is engaged and apparently it's a there where people incorporate dancing with a Chris Brown song in weddings these days? Which is kinda creepy to me.

And then my brother said something I didn't hear and I suggested that it was probably better that way. But then he repeated it. "Maybe she deserved it."

Since I was walking by him, I smacked him across the back of the head. Which apparently startled people. "Maybe he deserved it."

Because some jokes just are not funny, dude.

And then the Niecelet and I got all competitive against a jigsaw puzzle after lunch. She's off to Alaska in the morning for school. I'm going to miss her.
