Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Anne, the renovation is lovely! It's a very beachy room.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

baby goats!!!!

If anyone has not watched the PBS documentary on the Central Park Five, I highly recommend it. There are only three days left, because it is Ken Burns (although it is not very Ken Burns-y, probably because his daughter wrote it) I have just been reading "Our Boys" [link] which is a look at how and why white suburban "jocks" were protected after they gang raped a mentally challenged girl. What a contrast!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Those are violas, sarameg. They're related to pansies, but smaller.

We always called them "johnny jump ups"!

OK, knew they were a common variety, just couldn't remember what. I don't think I planted them last year (though I like them a lot) but can't be sure.

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

I allow them to every day, but generally hang my towel(s) on the shower rod for re-use if it's just a 2 or 3 day stay.

I never allow them in every day. Maybe every 2 days, if I am staying by myself.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I make my own bed at hotels, only because I'm embarrassed at the state of the blankets and pillows from how much I toss and turn while sleeping.

That's the name I know, Sophia. I think I also learned viola, but johnny-jump-up is what I use.

I don't think I understand the hotel question. How do you stop housekeeping from coming in?
