I got my bike out yesterday. I rode 40 miles to a nice twisty road only to get stuck behind a group of octogenarians on goldwings. They were so slow a parade of trucks and RVs towing boats piled up behind us.
Fuck you Duke Power. Your little power flickers just caused my computer and backup battery to shut down which caused me to lose everything I’d been writing for the last goddamn HOUR and then corrupted my Open Office file so that I can’t open it at all.
Actually, after a quick check on my Dropbox I’ve lost everything I’ve written over the last three goddamn DAYS. I pit myself. I swear I thought I uploaded that file yesterday. :smack:
80 degrees here today. A nice night to have the windows open, except that now, as the temperature has plummeted to 63 some fuckstain of a neighbor has decided it’s time to light a fire. Fucking asshole.
Hats off to you. This could simply have been “Dang, it stunk at the gym today” but you took the time and effort to make it special, and for that I thank you.
I caught a cold, too, which settled into a lovely sinus infection with a low grade fever. It’s clearing now, but starting this morning I get a terrible headache in one little ouchy point in the middle of my forehead every time i blow my nose. I NEVER get headaches, not even with hangovers, so this is an unaccustomed discomfort and a teeny hypochondriac pessimistic part of me is convinced I blew my nose once too often and blasted a hole through my over pressured sinuses and now that is my brain thats leaking out my nose instead of snot.
Why yes dear I could smell the alcohol on your breath.
And said alcohol may explain why you drove away even after I took these photos.
And two videos (one a bad copy off the security cam).
Pretty sure I heard the cops nab you on the scanner about a half hour later.
Stupid drunken fuck.
I love my 12 year old son. I love the fact he is fascinated by the political process… Canadian, American and elsewhere. His dedication to left wing / social democratic policies and his keen observation of right wing antics and his engagement in the democratic process is admirable. We live in Canada so we watch a lot of American TV. I jokingly call Rachel Maddow my son’s tv girlfriend.
Still, I am not a fan of watching the South Carolina returns this beautiful sunny afternoon. I am recovering from dental surgery and in miserable pain but he should go play in the park! Instead it is all MSNBC all the time.
so, yes i am the mom who is telling her son to stop watching the news and go play out side.
Well, my mom would encourage me to watch cartoons instead of whatever serious-looking thing I would flip to in the afternoons. 
And… how did you turn out?
He turned into a Doper!
I spend my free time watching cartoons. 
It certainly explains a lot! 
Plummeted?
-
Screw people who steal packages and newspapers from my doorstep.
-
My police department has an online police report form that allows you to report a stolen cape, but there are no options to report a stolen package.
-
I can’t think of a derogatory term to call this asshole-riddled neighborhood that doesn’t have racial overtones. Ghetto? Slum?
-
Who on earth steals capes and why???
Batman impersonators?
Well, the ones made from Kryptonian baby blankets are really handy if you need to walk into a burning building or deflect some bullets.
Capes are safe from me, but I’d steal a cloak of invisibility.
Elvis impersonators as well.
Holy spangled, rhinestoned Batman!

OMG. My SIL and 4-month-old niece are visiting and watching her parent is exhausting.
My SIL is doing some “carry your kid with you everywhere” parenting style and teaching her daughter zero coping skills. If she fusses, feed her. If she starts to cry, feed her. Let her eat when she’s napping. “She looks unhappy, maybe I should feed her.”
My wife and kids went shopping with them, and before they left the store to go home SIL decided (just to be safe, since it was a 15 minute ride home) to feed her. So she asked everyone to go with her to a dressing room so she wouldn’t be lonely. What do you expect two kids age 4 & 7 to do standing in a dressing room for 10 minutes?
It will not injure your child to try something besides sticking your breast in their mouth to calm them! We swaddled, rocked, and even sometimes let our kids cry and look! They’re still alive and healthy!
I never thought I would be annoyed by the sight of boobs.
Kitchen garbage bags have a limit to how much you can put in them.
