Oh dear God, you reminded me of what I saw on “Tosh.0” yesterday - some woman lancing a boil on a guy’s back that had about two cups of thick, curdy pus in it that she squeezed out. Beee-yarf.
I’m not that convenient to D.C., but you’re most welcome if you change your mind.
Fuck. My big strong 4th grader was just curled up in bed sobbing about some kid who has been picking on him at school. (Bastard.) I am going to have to make some phone calls tomorrow. I hate the phone. I especially hate being anything even remotely resembling confrontational on the phone. I most especially hate the fact that someone has been being mean to my baby. Fuck.
I’m driving in Houston. Why the heck are driver’s licenses reciprocal? If my DL didn’t work in Texas, I wouldn’t have to give myself pep talks before I leave the driveway. Someone else would be driving!
Now, I do have to say that I think that Houston drivers are very skilled. Someone can go zooming up on the left on a 6 lane freeway that has bumper to bumper traffic and is going warp speed, then suddenly cut across to take the offramp in less than 1/10th of a mile. Traffic doesn’t even slow down and people wave at the driver.
Since I started working primarily from home, I have rarely been ill. A sniffle here, cough there, nothing major.
I have been in office twice this week, for less than two hours each time.
I woke up this morning, my head aches, my throat is on fire, I am a ball of phlegm. I haven’t felt this miserable in a long time.
I blame work.
Around here the wave would be useing the middle finger.
And they think that useing the directional is giving information to the enemy.
After shamelessly lurking through two of the recent ‘Starving Artist defends child rape’ threads, I was introduced to a kitten link. Following that link, I then clicked on a video of a kitten playing with a dog.
I scrolled down to the comments.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
What is going on here? I…I don’t think I can handle this.** I want to hurt someone.** Is this how the zombie apocalypse will start? I’ll start biting people who type like this and then…goodbye world?
Lady of the Lake: That’s “LOLspeak” (-speek?), which developed into its current form on that site - I Can Has Cheezburger - and its related cute critters sites. I highly recommend avoiding the comments sections if you want to avoid that again.
I’ve been there before but have never scrolled down past the cat pictures, it never occurred to me! But…it’s so…stupid. Why are people who can type legibly pretending they can’t?
Maybe I’m just out of it, time to get with the new times. I’ll be back later, I’m going to learn this lolspeak. I’m thinking paint thinner or booze is involved in the process somewhere…
It’s supposed to be as if it were written by the cats & dogs.
Yeah, it’s stupid.

That’s just the start of the bat-bat-bat series when this little (???) comes back to say hello again (“more hi’s”) to the doggie.
I have a theory that every group has their own bunch of bugs that they’re immune to; when you join their group, you have to acquire the immunity, too. That’s why you get sick at a new job, and why everyone gets sick at Christmas.
I love Cheezburger, but I hate the friggin’ lolcat speak in the comments. It enrages me.
And why kindergarten bugs are like local versions of the Black Plague. When all those kids start kindergarten, the bug-pools of all their families come together; the bugs fight for preeminence by checking out which one can make most people sick, and worse, without actually killing them. The winners form the new kindergarten-families-bug-pool…
Kindergarten Bug-Pool Death Match!
Jeeze, that sounds like a reality show I’d watch.
Well, I’m doing my part. I had to come in again and have been coughing and sneezing. The meeting was great - I was in the corner all by my lonesome 
When I was in every other day, my problem was sinus infections. Stay at home all but a day out of ten? They all but went away. However, the increase in actual virus illness has increased. Whee. cough
Arr. So stupid. Why make it more complicated and more work just to read something idiotic? New thought, maybe they *know * everything they say is idiotic, and they are trying to protect the rest of us?
This makes me want to hurt them more.
What are the odds that precious snowflower’s helicopter parent(s) will show up for a tag-team event?
My fiance has a job interview tomorrow, so OF COURSE all week his face has been a 14 year old boy’s prom night nightmare. Poor guy generally does have some weird sort of skin problem, but it has its ups and downs - it’s up right now and he’s a wreck about it.
I truly hope not, since the student is 40. That means helicopter parent(s) would be in his/her 60s, and I was taught to respect my elders. I’d find it difficult to tell them to get the fuck out of my office if they did show up!
Cats don’t write like that. This is how cats write:
