I’m not quite sure if the open road is calling you, but someone better open a mega air-freshener just in case. Just got home, chillaxing with my dog in the a/c. ---

You didn’t mention home from where. Was it a typical day of gambling and drinking? We had a nice visit with my MIL today. ---

I read one more mind-numbingly boring comment about in-laws, and I’m reporting this stupid thread! One more! What is wrong with you people? Don’t you have anything with a modicum of substance to say?! Anything at at all? I’m writing this with a keyboard. ---

And what? Do you think that we are all writing in cuneiform by pressing high tech pointed sticks into our USB clay blocks? I miss living in a city with an active arts community. ---

Well aren’t we the big city snob? Plenty of people in rural areas can create exceptional art, but apparently you are too close-minded to understand that. I ate dinner unusually late tonight, because I went to a local theatre production of “Oliver.” ---

You see!? I could have seen a local production by Ms Praczyk’s fifth grade class! Time to get a shower and get going. ---

Well, it’s about time you took a shower and got going somewhere. Your level of procrastination is really one for the record books. Move your behind already. One of the dogs is stressed because the other one isn’t here right now. ---

You’re worried about dogs being stressed? What about people? I went to my town’s sidewalk sale and got two great $2 T-shirts. ---

If you’d lay off the recreational sharting then maybe you wouldn’t have to scrub so many skid marks. That’s nasty! I just had a before bed snack of green olives, cherry tomatoes, dill and garlic cheese, and rye crackers. YUM! ---

Is that why you got nothing done all day? Tomorrow you’ll probably be telling us how uncomfortable you were on the floor. You are never satisfied are you? I prefer blueberry pancakes to chocolate chip ones. ---

I suppose you want some kind of award for not going the junk food route. Ok I’ll applaud. That must have been a very difficult decision for you. Tomorrow is the third day of a 4 day conference. 1 ½ drive twice daily. ---

You know, it’s great that you want to go the extra yard and do half again as much as everyone else in the office, but it’s just morning and evening commutes. For the love of common sense, stop showing off and just drive straight there. I’m going back to school this fall! ---

Did you say “Gelato?” How insensitive can you be? Gelato was the nickname of the gangster that killed my father! I find it’s easier to paint house interiors than exteriors. ---

And that’s what your generation is all about, isn’t it? Making things _easier_. In my time, men were men, and all the houses were painted wholly from the outside, through the windows and with very long, bent brushes. The two frontrunners in the Zimbabwean elections are the incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa and opposition leader Nelson Chamisa. ---
