THIRTY FIVE MILES?!?!?!? I assume there’s a reason he couldn’t call the friend with the car?
Laundry is done, and shortly, I’ll do some mending. Dunno what else I’ll do today - I feel lazy.
Alien, If I understand correctly, at the minimum he owes you some gas money. As for payback, perhaps some type of keychain that would provide a young man maximum embarrassment??
Pretty lazy morning, have fed myself and now need to get cleaned up and get out of the house for a bit. 86F already, so wherever I go, it will be air-conditioned.
I have finished the mending. I have no more chores till the laundry is dry. I declare it to be a lazy day!
**FCD **has just gone to meet with a couple of guys who (he hopes) will help him build a workstation to run his stress analysis software. No idea when he’ll be home. I just had a handful of peanuts - not a very healthy lunch, but I’m not all that hungry at the moment.
I mended the finishing, myself.
Up and caffeinated. I have a cat on lap and I am waiting to see what the day brings. It should bring several hours of packing, but my haid hurts, so we shall see.
Happy Sattidy.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Mid 70s, sunny, no humidity. Had a lovely ride on Ariel. I’m home, all the windows are open, and I’m vegging in front of the tv, watching Lethal Weapon. Ursala Kitteh is lying in a sunbeam.
Just had a 20’ trash container dumped on my driveway, so that the remodeling folks have somewhere to put stuff. Glad my car was out of the garage…
I like it (generally, mostly; it’s taken me through some really cool wikipedia trips) but God they could use some decent editors 
There’s a book where one of the characters is spelled Magda half the time and Madga (which doesn’t make fucking sense) the other half. And dona doesn’t mean Lady in Catalan, it means woman (general hint to people trying to make bilingual puns involving a language they don’t speak: fucking don’t, you bloody morons). And Ruy’s name doesn’t make sense, but I guess if he’s stupid enough to have come up with something so idiotic, he must have just beaten the shit out of anybody who ever called him on it. And it’s Abarbanel not Abrabanel. And…

I want my house remodel to be done and we’re not even starting until the 6th, how sad is that? In the, you know, “stupid” sense of sad. Then again I’ve been preparing it for over a year, so I guess it kind of makes sense I want it done…
I have 3 cats on lap now, and 2 jealous dogs on floor.

I keep sitting down in front of the computer to look something up and forgetting what I wanted to look up. 
It’s a variant on the “What did I come into this room for?”
Back from part deux of the funeral home tour this weekend. I hope that I don’t see this again for a while.
Now, I’m chilling and binge watching craft videos in the studio and trying to get the ambition to do KP.
I know what you mean. I need to be packing, and organizing the family to be packing. Instead I am computering and snuggling with pets.
Howdy Y’all! I have been feted and now everyone is gone. Company… nice to see, comin’ and goin’. However, a good time was had by all. We had a nice rain shower around four. Everybody was already out of the cee-mint pond so it was all good. Glad now to just be inside in the cool cave and chillin’.
Laundry is in and put away. I finished knitting a scarf and I need to weave in the ends of the knotted ends. Supper was tuna steak and Amish 'maters.
Mowage tomorrow morning. Chillage tonight.
I wish you were closer so I could bake you a birthday cake. What’s your favorite cake flavor? I could make it shaped like a big, furry bear, or maybe just a cute teddy bear.
Sorry I haven’t been around in the past day or so. Nothing terrible happened (well, nothing additional on top of what had already happened, anyway), it’s just that I was visiting my dad and sister and didn’t have my computer with me, so no access to the Straight Dope. (I did use my dad’s computer, but couldn’t remember my password. :o )
They say people hadn’t seen my mother around in her apartment building, so she was checked on and found dead in her apartment on Thursday. Natural causes, they said. I don’t really know any more details than that.
My dad and sister and I are doing pretty okay.
happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear swampie!
Happy birthday to you!
This pretending to be a responsible adult is a load of bulls%^%&$%. But it is the only way to obtain hockey, beer, and bacon, so I persist.
Happy Birthday** swampie!**
Hey, flytrap - while I was away for a day, my roommate got a new plant. Guess what kind it is.
