Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's been raining a ridiculous amount here today. Supposed to go until tomorrow afternoon. We're heading on our vacation after dinner. Fun, fun, fun. (although once we leave Maryland things should be drier)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Lucky!!

Alexandra Petri, national treasure.

This is a true fact. Thing I learned: she says her last name "pee-try." BTW, I learned that on Sam Sanders's new podcast, which if you don't listen to any other podcasts, you should listen to the last few minutes of the Friday episodes, because listeners call in to share the best thing that happened to them that week, and it has made me cry every time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, cutie-pie Lucky!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

he is smol, and was very shaky, but now is calm.

He is either sleeping or very close to it, right by me in my chair. Puppers are so tired being in the shelter, they crash once they settle down at a foster place.

Adorable! msbelle.

In positive news about difficult aging parents, my mother got fitted for a test hearing aid today. I guess my sister's nagging worked. I hope she likes it and keeps it.

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

I would be afraid to feed Lucky after midnight.

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

I'm sorta, kinda, soon-but not quite yet, in the market for a doggo. I think I want a puppy that will grow to a medium-small to medium sized dog. I just...I love collies and aussies, but I don't have a good running yard for them and they need to get tired out daily. There are tons of pits that need homes, but my HOA, city, and county all make ownership of a pit illegal. Neighbors have tried adopting one calling it a mix and they still got called out by someone and they had to give it back.

I'm traveling a bit in August, so to be fair I'd want to wait until I'm back to I can give the little monster my full attention.
