I like them too. I had federal jury duty in Phoenix and choose to stay at this specific Garden Inn because I could get a room without a view but with a balcony. I could stand out there and stare at the wall 6 feet away and smoke as much weed as I wanted. It was a very ugly murder trial, the weed was needed but not legal. (I know folks think that stoners don’t think very well, but one thing we are good about is thinking about where to smoke a bowl and not get caught. When one has been doing that for over 40 years, it becomes second nature.)
The MENSA thing is there and I was able to get their rate of 149 per night which I think is pretty reasonable for the area.
They haven’t done their annual Thanksgiving convention since the world ended so the organization is going all out for this. Registration is free, food is free, there will be free games and speakers and booze, no need to ever step outside the property line. If things aren’t as promised (not enough booze), my car will be right over there in the free parking so shopping can happen.
@DesertDog lives in the general area and we have made tentative plans to meet up for a drink between dopers. Should be fun.
I agree with everyone that hubs should get checked out. He is so stinking weird about doctors. A couple of weeks ago, he stepped on a nail so had me take him to UC for a tetanus shot. It was a very quiet drive. I could not talk to him about why a tetanus shot is acceptable but not flu or plague, I just cannot do it anymore.
I will keep my eye on him for breathing issues and might suggest that a medically trained person might be able to wrap his ribs to lesson some of the pain. He’s not a very happy camper tonight.
Oh gosh, I know. I still can’t figure out how he managed to do it and he doesn’t remember. He says he was walking down the ramp one minute and the next one he was face down in the dirt. The landing is about half an inch higher than the dirt, it’s possible he put his foot down wrong on the edge.
My BFF has one that looks much like that. It never seemed to hear her, but could sure hear her punk rock singer. Try stomping close to it, that’s what works for her.
Oh, GG wouldn’t consider doing that when he can walk on Dad’s chest while Dad is napping in his recliner.
Today’s big issue was the hic-ups. It sounded very painful.
No, just no. Do not allow a paperwork snafu to take away your right to vote. Call your voting office people and tell them what happened and ask what you should do. If worse comes to worse, show up at your polling place and insist on a provincial ballot. I’m old enough that I don’t have a lot of fucks left to give, but this would be a hill I would be willing to die over.
That being said, I dropped my ballot off last week. I use the boxes because our mail gets lost on a regular basis and my vote is too important to trust them. I checked today and my ballot has been received and approved.
Geeze louise. Just what you need. We have lived through a battle with the IRS because they had made a mistake. It was very stressful. Maybe pull a few thousand out of the bank now so you have cash on hand if they seize your accounts like they did to us.
I threaten GG with declawing on a semi-regular basis. Never going to happen, but they don’t know that. Of course GG doesn’t know what declawing is so my threats are mostly me making mouth noise.
Hurray for playing critters 
GG loves ice cubes, but he gets them in the catio cause he makes such a mess with them.
RL Cracking up.
