\*\*Tugig \*\*- so where’s the video?? I can’t wait all day! 😛 \*\*Baker \*\*- when I was in the Navy, I grew my hair out because of the guy I was dating, even tho it was a pain to pin it up while in uniform. When he had the audacity to DUMP me, I showed him - I cut it all off! OK, not all, but most of it - almost to a pixie cut. I was going to send the hair to him (he was at sea when he dumped me), but I cooled down before I did that. Fortunately. Because I’m nice, dammit. Good luck finding a new stylist. I just go to Hair Cuttery and the like - I have no loyalty. Laundry is in and put away. Two batches of cookie dough are chilling for bakeage tomorrow. All the veggies are in the crock pot - supper in an hour or so. I just need to scoop the ashes out of the pellet stove and vacuum up the residue. And, alas, we’ll have to close the windows soon. But it’ll be warm tomorrow, so I can open them again. So there’s that. ---

Back from the exam. I’m pretty sure I at least got a B, with an A possible. It’ll probably be about a week before he finishes grading them and posts the grades. Taking a mental health afternoon to goof off, eat nachos, read, play stupid online games :), maybe grab some no-brainer out of the movie collection. DH is working closing shift, probably won’t be home until 8 or so. The Princess is sulking a bit, since on my way through the complex, I did pet a puppy, and briefly cuddled a cat. 🙂 ---

Dang, **tugig** , you have either really great karma or it sucks! Glad you’re ok though. Anything fun that I had planned this weekend is right out. A fuel sensor went out on the truck and can’t be replaced until Monday. I am currently shopping for another vehicle. ---

I’m having one of my ‘clothing optional’ Saturdays (one of the nice things about being single is nobody cares what you wear (or don’t). I imagine I will have to put something on in a bit and check my mailbox/mail letter/do a cheeburger run, but otherwise… **Seanette,** good luck with the test results. Otherwise a very blurfy day. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > THE SSA SAYS I’M NOT DISABLED!!! > > What the fuck do they know anyway. I’ll be calling a lawyer on Monday You don’t even want to hear my opinion on this. I know so many lazy assed people who get disability. Funny how they can’t go to work everyday but they sure aren’t disabled when it comes to partying and having fun. Then other people who really need it can’t get it. I think I know too many of the wrong kind of people, makes you a bit bitchy about life. Good luck, you’re probably going to need it. ---

I had one of those today, **2gig** ; idjit turns left in front of me to go into car wash. Full stop, foot on the ground while on the bike. I was watching his head, he was looking left at the (human) dryers & not even forward when he made his turn. His windows down; ya think he might acknowledge me, especially since when I left the one female dryer said I scared her I yelled so loud… Upper 50’s male Infinity SUV. Once he _finally_ looked in his driver’s mirror & got a clue that I was yelling at him to stop, he actually got out & wanted to throw down. Ya think someone that age would know better. :rolleyes: I also saw a feathers-flying knockdown, drag-out somersault-in-the-street fight…between two birds! At first I thought it was an injured bird on the ground, then I realized it was two intertwined, then I literally watched them roll over. They were attached for 10-15 seconds that I saw them. However, before that, it was a horrible, awful, sucky, need multiple boxes of Kleenex morning. Krispy Kreme has :😭:, ::sniffle:: closed!!! ☹ :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(☹ ---

SSA is a big, national insurance scheme. Every claim gets rejected at first. There’s probably a market for people who navigate insurance claims for others, but I suspect that many of those who need it most would have problems finding the helpers or providing the info these need (witness the tales of woe from people working in social services, re. their clients’ inability to be on time or bring all the papers in the list). I’m glad you still have 2feet, **2gig**. ---

But… but… the SSA is part of the all-knowing and all-wise government, so if they say… Nope, sorry, I just can’t pull it off with a straight face. Just gird yourself for battle, \*\*rosie \*\*- it’s gonna be a pain in the patoot, I"m betting. ☹ Higgs spent a LOT of time outside yesterday, so she crashed like she was dead last night and I didn’t hear her fussing till almost 7 this morning. It’s supposed to be warm again today - she’ll be booted out in the yard again! Go with what works, right? I’ve got 2 batches of cookies to bake. First I need to tidy the kitchen. Last night’s pot roast was a gigantic disappointment. I like it better when I do it in a pot on the stove instead of in the crock pot. Lesson learned. So, onward into the day! Happy Sunday!
