In completely frivolous news, Blue Diamond Chile 'n Lime Almonds are my new favorite happy place.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My phone's not working, and we're at the end of the two=hour window. Wasn't uptight, but now I am...if it weren't for me, we wouldn't need this landline anyway--kind of wish mom had run a pity rap on them-stoic doesn't work for everything.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Argh, erika! I hope they show up and fix it right quick
Chile and lime is good stuff. I introduced my parents to chile&lime flavored refried beans as bean dip recently - mom had seen it but thought the lime was like the alkaline stuff rather than the fruit and that did not appeal

It was the fax line that we used to use to send in paperwork to the state...they swapped that out for the most annoying software so we don't fax much anymore.(we get bothered faster. Progress?) It would have been good for me if the touchscreen had not been so ascendant...makes my fingers just like a newborn deer. definitely explains why the phone acted, confused in a way.

Good luck Erika?
I am annoyed I keep getting migraines again. I’d gotten down to one or two a month, even went a whole month without one, and now they’re ramping up again (I’m on my 4th pill in the past two weeks). Thank god my meds work well but wtf body.
And good luck with fleas Matt. And with oatmeal, askye?

I did finally get a collar on Molly when she was walking across my desk for attention. We'll see if the collars have the desired effect over the next couple of weeks; if not I'll check with my vet about prescription insecticide. I'd hoped that spraying my thresholds with Ortho would keep flightless bugs out of my house, but obviously that didn't work.

Chile lime pistachios are amazeballs.
David I need to tap into some of that energy. I’ve been really backsliding in my healthy eating/exercise and I’m not happy about it.

There’s a Hei-Hei Lego?!!?
Gordie is on Simpatica Trio which covers fleas, ticks, and heartworm. It’s monthly - three months would be very nice. There used to be (maybe still is) a six month heartworm injection but my vet won’t do that anymore because of some emerging side effect data.
I’m still low key annoyed that dogs can get Lyme vaccinated and people can’t.
