> I wonder why Spot will deal when I go on an away vacation.

Ya gots to remember that Spot is much smarter than GG. I once had a smart cat who figured out that the open suitcase on the bed meant that one or both of his slaves were planning on being gone forever or at least overnight, and would wait until the suitcase was packed, then pee all over everything. Despite liking Mom and enjoying having a spare slave and lap around, he never peed in her suitcase when she was leaving.

> Ye gods, though, I have to keep this shit up _every single damn day_ for the rest of my life?!

I spent about a year eating Purina Monkey Chow just because I was so sick of the whole “what am I going to eat now” thing. It was super boring, but really easy.

Invite me over!!!

You are amazing!!! I never get my entire list completed the same day because of all of the axillary shit the list causes.

Just reading about what happened worried me, I’m so happy you were wearing proper protective gear, it is so easy to just forget.

When we first got laminate floors, one of ours learned how to burn out and skid/slide around corners. She always looked like she was going to brain herself on the walls, but she knew what she was doing and she was having fun!

I gots a cute pic too.

George just lurves his sissy and can’t sleep without at least a paw on her.

Once she has done what she has to with the information, what is stopping you from pulling everything out of that account and putting it somewhere else?

Ameritrade accounts are pretty easy to navigate and they have really helpful people who are more than willing to explain everything. If you are going to use them for investing in the stock market, do be aware that there are fees involved. I’ve been pretty happy with how they have grown my money and how they have responded to my questions, though. I hope you like them too.

Sonic’s lemonade is almost as good as what I make at home. I used to treat myself to a large one once a week back when I was working.

He’s resigned to moving. Doesn’t mean he has to like it, but he knows it is going to happen and he wants to do it as easy as possible. Here’s hoping that he will be happier once things are unpacked.

> I like rocks and bowls; I just don’t collect them because collections have to be cleaned and dusted.

That’s why we pay a housekeeper, LOL!

congrats on the new house!!!

Now that I’ve had time to sleep in my comfy bed, I’ve been out to see what sort of damage hubs did while I was gone. I’ve lost two plants due to lack of water and he didn’t put the bamboo blinds back up on the deck like he promised he would. I think the firecracker plant might come back, but the carnations are gone for good.

Castrating the pomegranate didn’t work because other people out this way also grow them and we have a very popular bee watering area that is surrounded by lavender plants. I’ve picked off half a dozen fruits, I’m not going to let it have more than three fruits this year, it’s too young.

Hubs ruined his rotator cuffs (yes, both arms) and depends on his muscles to hold his arms in place near the shoulder joints. Yes, this can be surgically fixed and several of his relatives have had the surgery and say that it was easy and improved their quality of life immensely.

Hubs thinks that doctors are quacks who are just out for the money and can’t lift his arms over his shoulders or pick up more than 20 lbs without a whole lot of pain. He brought the ladder up on the porch and tried to re-hang the blinds but only managed one after hurting himself and damaging a wood table. He went inside and I hung the other one and asked him to put the ladder away. His feelings got hurt because he’s a dumbass who would rather hurt his body than admit that maybe he isn’t able to do the things he could do 10 years ago.
