There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'


Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Getting ready to fly to Colorado on Thursday. Still very reluctant to socialize with Trump supporters.

I recommend that every time they say something positive about Trump or his administration or policies you politely reply: "You can eat shit in hell for all eternity."

Then pop a bon bon in your mouth and walk off to another part of the house.

That could be a lot on bon bons. I'm pretty good at avoiding political discussion with family I know are insane. "OMG, did you taste Aunt Lulu's apple pie?" Compliments tossed out on the person's hair, dress, or whatever. "Do you have any pictures of that precious new granddaughter of yours?" or when required, flat out saying that joyous family gatherings really need to be politics free.

The plumber can't come back until tomorrow with the drain camera. They also can't send out someone with a wet vac, because "You have to do that yourself." I can't do that myself. They can *maybe* send a wet vac with the drain camera people tomorrow. I contacted the HOA person to ask if they could recommend someone who I could hire to come with a wet vac, and I'm staying in a hotel tonight, because with the house the way it currently is, using any water anywhere will make that basement toilet overflow more, and I desperately need a shower, and a non-smelly place to sleep.

I am sorry that this has turned into such a nightmare, Hil.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Super-helpful, plumber.

I called the HOA's handyman (the HOA person said that I could hire him directly), and he said that he can come clean it up and spray it with an antibacterial thing, but that there's no point in doing it today because it'll just get a mess again, so I'm supposed to call him again tomorrow after they fix it.

Checked into the hotel and ordered some Indian food for dinner. (I got a hotel way out in the suburbs, because it had incredibly good reviews and was just $80 a night, and this part of way out in the suburbs is also where all the good Indian restaurants are.) Then probably shower, then sleep.

Oh, come on. The DoorDash website said that my food was delivered, but it wasn't. So I clicked the button for that, and got a message that the delivery person arrived but couldn't find me. I had put in the hotel address and the room number, and my phone number is on the account so they could call me if they needed to. It's not that big of a hotel.
