I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I actually saw an open Radio Shack in Alameda when I was in California a few weeks back.

Office Depot to the rescue! I also stopped at a local nursery to get a huge container that I have been lusting over for weeks. Decided to go ahead and get it before it was gone. Wheeee.

Compassionately intolerant

And now I have a UTI.Great.

Oh nooooooo.

The absolute WORST, unless you can get comfy in the bathroom.

What a nightmare while in any other kind of pain.

I'm waving my arms in a shoo, shoo gesture at all the buglets in your u-tract. BE GONE buglets. Nevermore pass this threshold!!

The remaining RadioShacks will all be closed in a week.

Our wings are not tired.

I feel partly to blame for the Radio Shack failure! They were my goto store for so long, but their clientele were also highly likely to go internet when that became an option.

Our Radio Shacks were rebranded as The Source years ago. I don't know if they are still owned by the same company, but I don't think they are long for the world, either.

Zen, every time I leave ltc with either my mother or inlaws, I have to show them how to turn on the TV and find Sesame Street on the DVR. Every.time.

You should see the list of instructions my sister wrote out for my dad to work the TV and watch Netflix at the cabin. It's like a page and a half, because it includes things like "Press it ONCE and WAIT for the new screen to load. ONCE."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We are very close to buying our new house. Last minute negotiations are going on now. It's a 20s farmhouse and barn on 5 acres outside of a town called Canton. The barn has a guest apartment in it.

It's owned currently by a very nice Iranian (I think) family. The inside is in wonderful shape, but not farmhouse-y. The first floor has all tile floors--even in the living room. The bathrooms are done in beige stone tile with pretty inset mosaics--they look more like fancy hotel bathrooms than farmhouse bathrooms. Still, the place is in great shape and has a fabulous location so having fancy bathrooms is not really a problem! OH, and the bathroom out in the guest apartment is really a Middle Eastern bathroom. The toilet is one you squat over and looks like this: [link] Cool as that is, we are going to be putting in a regular western toilet.

That tilework sounds glorious.

Congrats-to-be on the farmhouse, Scrappy!

Brenda, after my mom died and I was cleaning through her stuff, I found a note pad where she had written down various instructions on how to do things on her phone. The best part was a note that essentially said "I asked Kelly to show me how to do X and she said no". Well, ok then.

Fingers crossed for you scrappy!!

I have finally made it to the hotel shuttle. Whew. More than a little annoyed that the convention rate is $160 a night whereas google is offering $115 a night tonight. Seriously?!
