Was the corrupt developer dressing up in a monster costume to scare you away? Because then it'd be an episode of Scooby-Doo.

No, there was legal wrangling, and sending in a transsexual spy to seduce our lawyer Mata Hari style, and we were keeping watch to prevent the developer's goons from just burning the place down. But no monster costumes.

Awesome, Suzi! New appliances are shiny.

I'm editing several pieces about hydraulic fracturing. My brain went numb 500 words ago.

Good luck, it sounds frackking mind numbing.

It must have been a night for crazy dreams, because I had an Audrey Hepburn/Julie Andrews(she kept shifting between the two) Bond-girl type person in dance/fight scenes with the bad guy henchwomen. Fabulous fifties costumes as you might imagine. Very art crouching tiger hidden dragon fighting, but no weapons.

She (Audrey/Julie) was not working with or against Bond, just a third party freelancer who had a long relationship with Bond that seemed unaffected whether they were working towards the same end or not.

It was....odd.

Ah ha ha ha!

My guess would be you, but the more important question is, What have you named them all?

No names yet. Will see what CJ comes up with if he ever emerges from his room.

HAHAHA You all are funny.

And I am glad I know that because I'm online! Oh, sweet online! That was nearly four hours without internet, I barely made it through.

But after two phone calls, five different people, and a lot of swearing under my breath, I ended up with a FABULOUS tech, which I didn't know existed at Verizon (a woman, incidentally, and probably a minority at that) who respected where I was technically and worked with me and we got it fixed. Thank the heavens!

The glue pot is ingenious!

I thought so! Can't wait to try it. I'm a little amused at how quickly this has all gotten away from me, in terms of supplies and gear and whatnot, but I am really enjoying it.

That pre essentially is separate, and blended prior to the jack (blend pot) and a filter or two....

Okay. Do you ever Skype? When we get to that point, it might be helpful for the SO & I to talk to you more directly for some back & forth. Our connectivity is so slow it takes us a while to get set up, but we can do it.

Yay new washer and dryer!

I have to have a repair person in for mine on Wednesday because the washer door won't lock anymore which means it won't run.

Oops. Posted early by mistake

In Today being awesome news: Pretty soon I need to start neatening the house for the cleaning lady visit tomorrow, since tonight I am going to see Pink with Juliana, but for now I am enjoying slounging and ignoring the sounds of Bubba carnage from the other room.

We spent an ungodly amount of money yesterday replacing mattress, box spring, duvet, and duvet cover. Ouch. Also, sigh.
