"You see there? That dog has a J.O.B. Think on that."
I tend to mention that to the pets when a pet-food commercial is on. How they're just sponges who aren't earning their keep, etc.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, could you email me too?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've been known to tell Charlie not to let Bubba destroy the house while I am gone.
It never seems to work though.

You bet! Is your profile email good? (Actually, also -- Suzi, Burrell, are your profile emails good?)

I say bye to the cats when I leave and promise I'll be back soon. If I'm going on a trip, I say bye to the house too and tell it to be safe while I'm gone. When I lived with humans, I'd seek one out and let them know I was leaving, but I've always lived with family or friends. If it were a roommate I wasn't emotionally invested in, I might not. It's the difference between shared lives and living separate lives in the same space, I think.

Yes, Steph, it is. Thanks!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The DH goes to each of the dogs as he's going to bed and murmurs to them "You were a good boy today. Thank you for taking care of things. Sleep well." Just KILLS me.

Aw, Scrappy, that's the sweetest thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the most alien thing anyone has mentioned on the topic so far. People, I swear.
Got free lunch today. At the restaurant I go to about once a week I mentioned that the one dish wasn't up to par, so they comped me. Which is extra nice, because that's my indulgence lunch of the week.
