It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

placement of adjectives

This reminds me of Baxter Black being described as "a former large animal veterinarian."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I am not trying to defend Baio at the RNC because that's ridiculous but then someone I followed on Twitter used an ethnic slur to express her disgust at what he was sayin which is just as annoying.

Teppy, I'm so sorry. ALS is terrible. My paternal grandmother had it. 2016 seriously owes you some goodness.

It owes us all one hell of a refund.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think a lot of what we're seeing is what people have felt but haven't thought they could come out with in public. Whatever happened to "silence is golden"?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Funny note for y'all to wash away the RNC for a moment. Last night I ended up renting a convertible Mustang (they were out of cars and I was the only person not being a bitch about it...and ta-da, I get a cool car for the price of a mid-sized). Fast forward to today, my project manager typically takes a few of us to lunch. He saw the Mustang when he came in and asked if it was mine (I guess I have a rep for lucking out with cool cars) and decides we have to take that to lunch. So, 3 tall guys and I cram into the car - top had to go down, darn, as they couldn't get in otherwise. It doesn't have the power the GT I had a while back did, but the guys LOVED it. For me, driving around in it alone is fine, but with 3 tall guys, felt like a sardine can.

And, totally unrelatedly, here's a scene from the National Zoo.

Thanks Toddson!

I just might be getting into the groove of this school thing. I am on a break between meetings and I just banged out my discussion question response. With references and citations and everything. The discussion question had to do with ethical communication.

One of my classmates wrote his response based on Melania Trump's speech and plagiarism. I was actually impressed with his response in that he kept it apolitical, just dealing with her speech and the ways various ways it violated ethical communication as described in our readings this week. Will be curious to see how the class responds. Hopefully people will just respond to the speech portion and not the overarching politics.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Otterly adorable.

Steph, that is so much suckitude. I wish I could wave a wand at it and make some of the burden fly away.

I just got back from the vet with Sammie, follow-up UA after her bladder infection. There are still red blood cells present, one possibility (stones) was eliminated by x-ray. another possibility, tumors, needs an ultrasound then biopsy to check. So I get to decide if I want to take the wait and see approach, or spend $500+. My plan is to wait until the vet who saw Sammie from the start of this is back from vacation and talk with him about it.
