You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Ann, that's a ferret.

They have the Carol Burnett Show! The original one that's never been on DVDS and full seasons of it. I didn't watch any but I may tomorrow while I am crocheting.

I only have one word: BINGE!

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Hil, I replaced my side mirror last year and it was pretty easy. Replacing the blower motor for the AC on the other hand was a trifle more challenging, but I got it done!

I find PlutoTV and FilmRise incredibly annoying with the way they handle their ad breaks. I prefer tubi, which also has LEVERAGE and puts their ad breaks in where they would have been on tv, instead of interrupting what feels like every 30 seconds regardless of where the act breaks are.

Our wings are not tired.

Carol Burnett is a very good idea. There is way too little laughter in current life.

In Florida political news, Mike Bloomberg is our new best friend. He paid the fines poll taxes for 32,000 Black and Hispanic felons who are already registered to vote so they can vote in the upcoming election. There are some 775,000 formerly incarcerated felons who were allowed to vote after Florida citizens voted to allow it, then our state government decided they could only do so if all their court costs and fines were paid in full. Various groups have been working to pay the fines for them, but Bloomberg focused on minorities and most likely to vote because already registered.

If you have Amazon Prime, they have IMDB tv which is running Leverage, too.

Good for him! Now that's a good way for a billionaire to participate in politics.

This may cheer you up ... a little ...baby's first exam.

Ugh. And Romney is doing the GOP sheep thing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Feeling pretty hopeless this morning.

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

I am back at work after being on vacation for a week. Now, my vacation was not super fun or anything, but being back at work is definitely a drag.

Glad to hear people who should be able to vote can! How ridiculous that it takes a billionaire taking an interest to get there.

What is even happening?

Feeling pretty hopeless this morning.

Me too, Dana. And everything else I've tried to say in response just sounds stupid, e.g. "I hate this." WHO DOESN'T CINDY?

Toddson, thank you so very much for sharing the article and video of the baby panda's exam. It let me escape for however long it took to read and watch.

Where is everyone?
Oh you know, occupying the same 600 square feet I've been in for the last six months.

[checks iPhone]

Woohoo! 11,940 steps/5.1 miles!

In one day, Hec? (Or six months?)

Does anyone stay in touch with vw? I've been wondering how she's doing.
