I could have my mom teach you the Look of Death, Hec. (For a white person, when Ta-nehesi Coates writes about the Look or Tone of Not Playing, I think I understand. But not as much as my brother!) There is always withholding the friends and/ or bf until you get some desired result, but maybe you don't want to isolate her *too hard* nor punish yourself by being the warden. Perhaps a short-term strategy, though. Says the non-parent who once told the kitty to stop being a bitch last month.

My brother still imitates the LOD. Probably because he works a nerve like there are invitationals. ETA: the bitchy thing my kitty does is sit so close on the bed that it bugs her when I move my arm. Sometimes she gets her claw stuck and then hisses when I try to free myself. Bitchy. ETA2: Not calling that the same as raising a human being. Just thought you'd wonder why I curse at a kitty.

God trouble, Laura.

I cat sat for my niece when she was hospitalized for her ED and that bastard loved catching my leg. Once he got his claw stuck in my calf and just dangled. I also de-balled him but the assault was prior to the desexing.

Another anniversary day and a reminder of how old we are! Today, in 1997, was the opening day of the first Buffista board. Our love forever, ita.

more coffee

In yes we always knew Don Jr. was an ass news, his post “How did Dr Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup??? [sic]”, he shows us once again. So much wrong in one sentence. He is indeed his father's son. See Laura's head explode.

Thank you, ita! And thank you, Gud, and all the others who built the fine ship HMS B.org that we sail upon.

Blue sky morning and I had all the berries on my raisin bran this morning. But a small bowl because I have 9am Pilates and all that hinging at the waist is hard on a full stomach.

As I completed all my puzzles this morning, I found no streaks, because I somehow managed to forget to do them all yesterday. So much for the puzzles improving memory. Oh well. One day streaks all round.

Awww yay board. 1997! My goodness we are old.

I do not want to work today. Last night I got home and suddenly my nose was going like crazy. I ended up taking some Sudafed, which helped me breathe but did not help me sleep last night. Grr. (I think what I actually need is to go get some anti-allergy meds)

I'm so sorry to read about Todd. Thank you, Vortex, and a great big hug to all of you. I love y'all.

I am also in the do not want to work today corner. Alas I am sitting on a laptop in a mini-golf construction sight configuring network devices.
