Smonster, I think maybe you forgot the idiomatic use of "X likes carrots"

So sad when they begin to forget the culture/language of their youth...

Day 2 of Ophelia rain. No damage, but the ground is saturated now, so good chance I’ll have some water in basement today.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Ugh, msbelle. Do you have a sump pump? I hate the smell of a wet basement.

David I think about that description of the Buffistas all the time and could never remember where it came from. Just thr first sentences because my memory is terrible ...but of course JZ wrote that it's so much her voice. The way she described Matilda's first week from the Facebook post.

I took smonsters carrot response to be tongue in cheek.

Oppenheimer felt as long as it was. The acting was great, and I feel like I learned a little bit more than I did before about how the bomb worked. We had a cheap and cheerful dinner at a pizza place. I’m headed back to Mom’s to pick up ltc in a bit, and she is cooking dinner for us. So, a very good weekend.

Sounds like a delightful weekend!

I got to see JenK yesterday for dinner. She was attending to her mom who had surgery up at UCSF, so we scampered off to Nopalito after.

She regaled me with all sea creatures she and Matt had seen on their scuba trip in Malaysia, including a Blue Ringed Octopus (very rare and very poisonous).

Matilda was hanging out with her friends Iris and Melia, who lives a few blocks away. Because of the proximity I let her stay later but when she walked home at midnight, I sat on the stoop awaiting her. It's a pretty safe neighborhood (USF is nearby so lots of college students still walking out late), but you're never really comfortable with your teenage daughter walking around after dark in the City.

I just couldn't resist the historical allure of "Robby like carrots." Sorry everyone :P I haven't had a human sweetie in so long that I can't share any tidbits myself. I am very sad to note that Casper the very floofy cat (no longer a kitten as of this month, he's past a year old now) is going through a very annoying teenager phase of "no don't hold me!!!" and literally putting his front paws on my face and pushing me away whenever I attempt to snuggle him the last couple of days. Breaks my heart a little, but Kazumi (void cat) made up for it by briefly getting on my blanket-covered lap last night and going to work kneading that lap blanket like it was the most important job in the world.

I'm waiting for Oppenheimer to be available via streaming, that's just too long for me to sit in a public place and not be able to get up and move around. Just got back from a weekend at OSF with mom and while I always enjoy a good theatrical endeavor, sitting still in the audience is still agony. I miss the days of being able to just ask the SM to watch from the booth with them so I could stand and pace.

Not really my style to flaunt the carrots, but I wouldn't mind coming back from a naughty weekend or something.ETA: Next time you see Jen, Hec, tell her I said Hi.
