THIS. For both my gall-darned trucks. (one of them running out after only 300 kliks!:eek::()
It’s October 9th, people. WHERE THE HECK ARE THE PUMPKIN SPICE OREOS?!?!?!
I love those things.
How about some Pumpkin Spice Pudding or Twinkies
Or how about…
Frosted Flakes
Kellog’s Special K
Life
Cheerios
or just some Cream Cheese for your bagel?
Yeah. Pumpkin spice almost rates a thread all its own.
In the pit, of course.
I’ve managed to stay Pumpkin Spice Free so far this season. It’s meant skipping a free sample or two (“But sir, who wouldn’t want to try our Pumpkin Clove Hazelnut Cinnamon Vanilla Nutmeg Weinie Bites?!?”), but I’m holding out 'til I have real pumpkin in my pie at Thanksgiving.
I drank my pumpkin beer for the season.
(Actually, it was a pumpkin sour and was very good)
Earlier (post #19) I complained about how early Canadian Thanksgiving is, saying that proper Thanksgiving requires cold weather and that it was going to be “21°C (70° F) this Thanksgiving weekend”. As indeed it was.
But hey, we’re now a few days past the Thanksgiving weekend, and the Great White North being what it is, the weather has changed. Yeah. Yesterday it hit 28°C (around 83°F) and it will be the same today, with stifling humidity, so that the humidex makes it feel like about 93°F.
But my snowplow guy has dropped off the seasonal contract.
P.S.- Global warming is a myth! :rolleyes:
Police Escort Woman, ‘Emotional Support Squirrel’ Off Frontier Airlines Flight

Go. Fuck. Yourself.
An emotional support squirrel???
First off, if you need an emotional support animal of any kind to board a plane, you should be sterilized for the good of the species. Both ours and the that of the unfortunate animal you have brought into your sad drama.
But a squirrel??? I can think of few things sadder or potentially funnier than a terrified rodent on a plane.
I went to the dollar store to get some Halloween decorations today. One quarter of one shelf in their seasonal section had those. One eighth of one shelf had Thanksgiving-themed items. The entire rest of the section was stuffed to the gills with Christmas crap. ::sigh::
Dear husband, I love your new phone, too! It’s pretty and you stay up to date on the news now, which is awesome. What is not awesome is that after you watch YouTube you’ve been jumping on various bandwagons with the zeal of the newly converted.
Yes, you shouldn’t microwave plastics. You should probably avoid using them when possible. However, that doesn’t mean we’ll die from cancer as a result of storing our food in it or that we need to recycle every plastic container in the house and switch to carefully curated food-grade steel and glass (glass isn’t exactly practical for kids to take to school). We’re way more statistically likely to die from heart disease than cancer from leaching plastics in our food. Or the local landfills that hold nuclear waste.
No, meat will not kill us, though it’s probably not fabulous for the planet. We’re almost vegetarian anyway, and I’d assume that unless we take a very slow, step-wise approach, suddenly going vegan now won’t be terribly successful (unless, of course, the pork you had for lunch is vegan; if not, please dismount that moral high horse while I go roast some chickpeas).
Please, please - if you’re going to watch YouTube videos on causes near and dear to your heart, do some additional research after you’re all heated up. And while you’re at it, watch some videos on parenting kindly and/or some TEDTalks on motivation - you ask me to light a fire under you, but unfortunately, I can support you but I can’t light the rocket under your ass.
Hugs & kisses,
Overly
Ask him which plant he thinks that ham came from. Don’t kill him if he answers “Hormel”.
Pretty crappy week so far…
-
It won’t stop raining. We have a river running through our back yard, and a big mess where all the mulch and mud has washed out. (Our house is halfway down a hill, so everything drains right through our yard.)
-
Major organizational shakeup at work this week, to the point that for a day or so I was wondering if I was still going to have a job.
-
90 year old mother-in-law fell, and broke her wrist when she tried to stop herself. (I guess it could have been worse, it could have been a leg or hip or arm…)
-
My uncle who has been suffering from Alzheimer’s for the last few years passed away yesterday.
I’m so sorry.
A coworker of my husbands said he was going to buy a bunch of bullets and shoot up the workplace. Said it was a joke…ha fucking ha… he’s on administrative leave while under investigation.
Please tell us that’s police investigation.
We bought a house in April (YAY!!!)
We just had a tax ‘adjustment’ by the County of Sacramento. We have to pay an additional 4000 dollars in tax. They were ‘nice’ enough to tell us that we can pay in 2 installments.
But…
New mortgage and bills is eating up my entire paycheck
Our beloved little monster pit bull has been in emergency room twice in a month.
Garage Door spring and opener were just replaced (at different times)
Battery and starter on our little truck have just gone out.
We are kicking out the Sister in Law because she continues to smoke in her room and abuse her pain medication.
And some other shit that I can’t think of just now.
What’s that cartoon character that has a rain cloud following him around? I feel like that guy.
Yup. That’s me today.
Dear husband: I want one evening during which the following words will not be uttered by you:
- “Fucking”
- “Bullshit”
- “Trump”
- “Sylvia”
That last one is the name of a woman he works with who gets on his nerves. Every single evening he likes to enumerate (rather like I did, see above) all the dumb things she has done that day to irritate him. He’s worked with her for about four years now and the nightly Sylvia recitation is going to drive me to drink.
Yep
Washington Federal online banking was down over the weekend for a system upgrade. Turns out that the upgrade was to change everyone’s username. With no prior notice. Now, the phone customer support department is “experiencing heavy call volume”. No fucking kidding. I want to throw rotting fruit at the idiot that thought that was a good idea.
