Thank you! That is perfect.

In re eyerolls, I ran into this comment today:

Anderson Cooper may have seen God he rolled his eyes so hard at Kellyanne Conway

Ha!

Timelies all!

Tired, cranky and hungry here.

I wonder if those screaming spaniels would be relieved by a little of that ancient trephination surgery? I've seen so many photos of very well healed skulls. This is one of the reasons that the only pet for me is a Heinz 57, preferably in the form of a cat.

My need to order my universe is so great I ripped through bales of stored clothing and hated so much of it I now have three large trash bags ready to go to the thrift. I'm on fire with coordination today.

have 6 bathing suits left, and I can't remember the last time I wore one. I am sad because this means I never go vacationing.

If I had a transporter I would be so happy to do away with Laura's clutter if it meant I got a nice dinner and a chance to dip my toes into the Atlantic Ocean. I do not, so I am sentenced to making my own dinner and washing all the dishes by hand since dishwashers are foreign to my vintage home.

Abigail was adopted as a foster dog, so her provenance is unknown... She looks like a Shih Tzu mix, but there could just as easily be some Cavalier King Charles in there, for all we know.

The difference was quite striking, she was calm, but alert, and totally loving on her "mom."

Post Toasties: the Mass. RMV let's you order a duplicate title online for $25. I paid off the Forester 7 years ago and remember getting the original title in the mail, but damned if I know where it's got to.

Getting a duplicate may be the easiest part of the whole car aquisition process. There's still the shopping and the getting of a Loan. Lyft has changed the terms of the rental, so it's costing me like $40-$50 a week, plus I'm​ paying insurance on my own car. If I get a $10K or less car, it could actually cost me less money, so...

Now if I can just find one from 2010+, with all wheel drive and manual transmission. Is that so much to ask?

Ok, people breeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniels so that their brains are too big for their skulls, that is evil on a par with IRS scam calls and the Republican President. I mean, I'll give a pass for the first couple times it happened, because yeah, you don't know what'll happen until you try. But once the link is known, breeding for anything other than mitigating that, is evil. Fuck the show judges who skew competition results toward extremes.

Good luck with car shopping.

Gud's daughter graduating high school? Does not compute.

We got 10 offers for our house, some above asking price. And, guys, people wrote LETTERS and included pictures of themselves with their babies or dogs. We were not expecting to have to read through letters. Luckily, the buyers were all equally good folks, so we did not have to discard any of them and that left a level playing field.

At the meeting with the realtors, since all things were even in terms of buyers personalities, we picked the person offering most money and said, "Okay, this one." They looked at us and said, "Um, no, now we ask them to counter-offer." So, that's what's happening the rest of the week. BIDDING WAR.

Wow, Scrappy! That's great!
