Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Once I de-iced/removed the snow from my car and got out of the parking lot, my commute today was quite nice.Found out after I got to work that there was a 2-hour delay available, but I didn't need it. :shrug:

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Consuela, I'm so sorry. That's rough. I wish I had some magical advice to give that would fix everything.
Also, thanks for the cats & dogs link - the third cat in there (the white one) looks very much like my Finn. Who, for the record, scared the pants off my mom's dog the other day.

In my house when the cat barges in and starts eating the dog food, the dog comes and gets me.

Walter and Wednesday share. She can drive him off his bed, though, just because she likes to snuggle and he needs his space.

Amy, forget central heat, my house doesn't even have insulation.
If we owned our house, the first big improvement wouldn't be duct work for central air, it would be insulation. And we have one floor heater. Our house is cold.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And thanks, folks. It's been a hell of a year. I'm considering writing a holiday letter to go in my cards, and it just stumps me, because there's basically no good news. I don't think I can do it.
I had an ex get in touch with me and want to catch up after we'd lost contact for a couple of years. It was totally welcome but I had to put a huge disclaimer at the beginning that was basically, "Yes a lot of this sucks but it happened and so I am telling you. I am still really glad we're catching up even though reading this is going to be hard for you and it was hard to write (and live through) for me."

Because books.
The big dogs afraid to walk by the cats was especially adorable.
I'm blue tonight, but The Sing-Off is back. Yay.
