I dunno maybe you could have pointed your toes more on the dismount.
In researching my archives, it appears there’s a lot of dirty stuff there after all, but I believe I’ve comported myself admirably.

I am trying to get my house spotless for when hubster comes home. This is difficult as my daughter her husband and four kids are slobs and disrespect our house. I stayed home for two days to clean the living room. I will admit to letting lots of stuff slide. I hide in my room which is very avoident of me.
So I washed the windows, rehung the curtains, (two things I hate more than any other chore). Then I moved the mountain (taller than me) of clothes and junk that had collected on the floor. Daughter had made the kids bag them, but claims she just doesn’t, “have time” to sort through them and store/or throw away some stuff. I moved them into the bathtub in the secondary bathroom. We don’t use that tub as who ever owned the house before us was not a good diyer. There is lots and lots of stuff wrong with the bathroom. In this case the problem is the spigots on the tub. They are installed upside down and backwards. Why? I have no idea. However that tub is the only unused space in my poor house. I stuck about 6 to 9 or more 30 gallon bags (many of which were over full and ripped). I get home from a shopping trip and hear that somehow the hot water faucet had turned on and filled the tub. I really don’t know how as the faucet is so stupid it’s hard to turn on. We think that one of the bags hit the stupid spigot in just the right? wrong? way. Anyway, I got the furniture mostly done the curtains hung with lots of cussing. Daughter and sil were at his company xmas party, so the kids, “helped”. Now I’ve got to figure out the wet clothes, finish the living room, muck out the kitchen that went to hell in a handbasket, during the medical emergency and living room over haul. I also have to install safety grab bars in the main bathroom. Really, that only scratches the surface of the crap I’ve got to do. Really, screw not just December but the whole damn year. I hope next year is halla better. Grrrr!
That’s no mini-rant. That one deserves a long profanity-filled spew into the Pit. I’m sorry you’re suffering all this; it really sucks. And yes here’s hoping next month and year work out a lot better for you & the hubster.
The ball-gag was a nice touch. Gives a whole new meaning to “disciplining the dog”.
I’ll never ever be able to unhear, “Sit, UBU, sit! Good dog…”

My beloved sittin’ chair is a papazan. (The big saucer-shaped things.) I always sit curled up, wanted one for years, finally have. It makes me happy.
Except, for the last several months, the damn cushion keeps sliding down, to where it’s hanging halfway to the floor. I have to keep heaving this heavy-ass thing to flop it back into position, and after a coupla hours of chilling, it’s slid down again.
The saucer itself is in the same position, so I don’t understand why gravity is now somehow stronger. Damn thing used to stay in place.

Bit the side of my tongue several days ago. Of course, the spot keeps swelling up so I … keep re biting it. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Realithed at work yethterday that I thounded kinda thweird.
Not a good look (sound?) when you’re in a customer facing job.
Maybe some strips of Velcro sewn or glued to the cushion, or some fabric loops sewn to the back if there’s something to hook them on to?
Hope you recover soon! 
A couple of years ago I lost a filling that was effectively a big part of a front tooth. I went around for a few days sounding like the gopher in Winnie the Pooh who whistled when he talked!
To hold cushions like that in place I use grippy under-rug open-weave pads or a thin yoga mat cut to size (super cheap at Goodwill).
I just checked the latest weather. Global warming is pissing me off. We’ve had enough precipitation lately and in the forecast to produce a glorious white Christmas, but it’s all rain, or sometimes melting snow. I’m keeping things like Coke and bottled water in the garage now because, hey, it’s winter and it’s cold in there. I got a carton of iced tea out of there yesterday and it wasn’t really well chilled. No wonder – the outdoor temperature was nearly 60 'Murrican.
We have one in our sunroom. We used to sit in it all the time, then our dog Ella “took it over”. It became Ella’s place to relax. Ella has been gone ~3 years and the chair remains empty.
Monday Night Football was entertaining last night.
Thank you I will check it out!
It’s just the shady side of the planet. Keep telling myself, It’s just the shady side of the planet. Not eternal cosmic gloom. It’ll roll around to the Sun soon enough.
From someone who I believe represents themselves as a radical leftist on social media (in part)
I miss having Trump as president, when I wasn’t shamed for opposing the president funding a genocide, when kids being locked in cages was a casus belli to unite around stopping instead of a reason to be shushed for fear that it might hurt the president.
I can’t decide if this is a deliberate attempt at psy ops or if this person is just that ignorant.
34.23%. 34.23fucking%!!
Riffling through the junk that calls itself mail this afternoon, I find a envelope from a bank I’ve never heard of in a different state addressed to me specifically. Upon opening I eventually figure out that it’s an offer - “You are pre-approved!!” for a World Market Mastercard. I start to toss it in the trash when my eye lands on the APR: 34.23% Jebus on a pogo stick! They think payday loan places are bad. There needs to be a lot more enforcement of usery laws in this country.
This has been today’s Little Bit of Pissedoffedness.
Wow. I’m constantly getting credit card offers from banks I have relationships with, and each of them offers to give me a lovely credit card for the small annual fee of $120 or similar. Why on earth would I pay YOU to have a credit card? I might take them up on a no-fee credit card, but the one I have has been just fine for over a decade. I don’t know why they work so hard to sell me something I don’t want or need.
But I like shade! I like my garage being cool enough to keep Coke and bottled water and using it to cool leftovers before refrigerating them. I like cold weather that keeps screeching kiddies and loud garden parties indoors. I like the silence that replaces whining, rattling air conditioners. I like the absence of roaring motorcycles and hot rods with tin-can mufflers. I like the pristeen whiteness of newly fallen snow, and how quiet it is when the snow soaks up ambient noises. I like the associations with Christmas and Santa.
My main problem here, as noted in my previous post, is that with global warming it’s not getting goddam nearly cold enough! And there’s not nearly enough snow (in fact, this season there’s been basically none at all).

Also, no flies or bugs.
