Indeed!
sari, I can usually read the apartment number in the pics that da Jungle sends upon delivery. The mixups tend to be between me (1008) and the guy in building 11 (1108). Every couple of years, GoogleMaps gets a brain fart and makes the directions to my place the directions to his and vice versa. While it is Google that is responsible, they don’t pay me any mind, so I usually contact CS at da Jungle and they get it fixed for all of the deliveries.
metal mouse, when your phone died and wouldn’t charge, were you using a charging cable that you don’t usually use? The reason that I ask is that cheap cables are often the issue and sometimes, even mess up your port (iPhones are especially susceptible to that). You will rarely save money by using a cheap cable.
My phone is now synced to my car. The YT video was full of shirt (thanks for that one doggio ), so I phoned a friend. I didn’t get the herbs harvested because it was just too stinking hot. I did hit the grocery outlet though and picked up about a month’s worth of meat, a few pantry items (including 2# of peanut butter for $3) and some snacks and got out of there for under $40.
I’ll get out to harvest the herbs tomorrow once I get up, then I hope to take Nelson to the dog park before it heats up (he’s had a serious case of the zoomies since the heat wave began). Then it will be the usual Sunday. After a bit of studio time, I’ll chill.
We lost power. It’s been out over an hour. We don’t have any emergency lights or candles. Oops!
I foresee an early night unless we get power back soon.
But that’s how I’ve always pronounced it, and I’m not southern. (Well, I’m from the southern part of Michigan, but I don’t think that counts.) Is the dawg on a lawg with a frawg in a bawg? If he is, I hope he doesn’t fall in – he might get all sawggy!
Not really.
Start with “Dow” as is “Dow Jones Industrial Average.” Now add a hard guh “G” sound. DowG. Now stretch the duration of the “o” to about double normal without changing the sound. DoowG. You’re getting closer. Now back off just slightly from the short “o” sound of Dow towards the “aw” sound of “claw” or “draw” or “paw”. You’re almost there. Now crank up the transitional “w” sound between the end of the “o” and the start of the “g” so there’s a real voiced baby “w” tucked in there. Daawwg. But where “aa” signals extra duration, not the usual long/short distinction.
That’s a Georgia style dog.
Sounds like the Canon is full of herself. Calling only a day in advance and then being ticked off about things not being acoording to her liking. Hope she never ends up as bishop.
So, ummm, I don’t know much about squirrels. My motel is in a very well groomed business park and I saw a squirrel looking around in the gravel landscaping for food.
I bought some unsalted, raw peanuts and scattered a bunch where I could see them from my room. The squirrel found them and ate a whole lot and is now on the lowest branch of a tree, laying on its tummy with legs hanging off the branch.
Am I correct in thinking that he is just full, or do you guys think she’s sick and I should go out and pick up the rest of the peanuts?
I’m kinda worried here…
I think wildlife can handle its own problems. If the peanuts disagreed with the squirrel it’ll either not eat any more or it’ll eat the rest, die, and prove it’s too stupid to deserve to reproduce. So whether it ends up happily full or sadly dead you’ve helped squirreldom and should feel good about yourself.
You have enough to worry about just keeping your own head on straight while defending yourself from all the human poo-flinging monkeys in your life. Don’t borrow concerns from others. Please.
FTR, we had many, many squirrels when I lived on the lake in the Midwest with all the big trees everywhere. They’re cute, playful, rambunctious, and love to eat nuts and seeds. Many a neighbor lamented how their birdfeeders were mostly squirrel feeders. I thought it was great watching them shinny up poles and hang upside down to bust open the feeder and get all the nuts and seeds. Never saw one overeat to the point of self-harm despite sitting in silly-large piles of food.
That answered my question, thank you!
sari’s the one who is dealing with poo flingers, I’m not.
I have no more fucks left to give so I’m not dealing with them at all.
Mom and I had a good day today and we have fun plans for tomorrow. That’s really all that matters.
The squirrel has moved to another branch but doesn’t seem inclined to change trees despite the dog walkers. I’ll give it another feast in a couple of days and then the Times of No Peanuts will begin again.
Look up “splooting” for a possible explanation.
Sneaking in an almost-late Happy Birthday to ya, Swampy! 
I hope it has been a good day for you.
You are absolutely right. That is all that matters. I’m glad you are having some fun now, because seizing the day is where it’s at.
But you’ve been in the dark before and enjoyed it, right? So, enjoy it. 
The key word here is “child” because my fair face went away at puberty and my skin never did settle back down to fair again, except if you take the meaning of “fair” to be “pale” because I am, indeed, that. 
But, Nellie, seldom coming to Honour could be a good thing depending on the writer’s idea of Honour, methinks.
Got my pizza today, from local chain, Punch: “salami e funghi” with slices of garlic and fontina cheese. Yum.
Also arriving in the mail today was my shower curtain. I’ve never been so excited about a shower curtain before. This one is MCM with stylized cats and it’s pink! So fun. Reason for pink is so it would not clash with the pale aqua bath mat and towels that I already have. One must make an attempt to color coordinate, no?
A little more unpacking got done and some needed items purchased. I still have to see about renting another uHaul for tomorrow, but this one doesn’t need to be a big box truck. I’m moving my small chest freezer and a few items from my friend’s house. Then taking a couple of boxes back out of the apt to go to Goodwill. I wish I had time to sort everything before I moved from the last place but time and energy levels limit me. Still, progress being made. Yay.
I napped. I laundered. I played with Spot. I had a Vieux Carré.

And glad the moving is almost ove.
Hooray for a day with Mom. Make the memories you can while you can. You’re a good person & a good daughter. And she’s a good, if sadly afflicted, Mom.
What a pleasant little Saturday. The weather was beautiful for driving so I made it down to Eugene to have lunch with Lancia, susan and penultima_thule, though I got there a little late. Plenty enough time for $17 Chicken Caesar salad. Then over to visit my cousin for a little while, plenty enough time for me to borrow his bass guitar. Then a nice drive home where Bob was waiting for me like a good boy. I was going to take him with me, but I wouldn’t have been able to take him into the restaurant with me, so he stayed home and did the dishes for me.
That was fun!
Glad y’all had fun
thats why the not-happy look
lol the kitten who had just opened her eyes ran out of the alley saw my cousin and followed her was the oft-mentioned raven a ball of sass who outlived all her siblings she was 22 …
I still miss all of mine

this has been the hottest on avg july we’ve ever had… I mean 89-100 at night ? for 2 weeks ?
yeesh
I am either way too high, or not nearly high enough, to follow this.
I may not get to use this one out loud, but you can bet your sweet patootie that I will 1a.) think it, and 2b.) share with my manager; she’ll get a good laugh.
Fine. But I draw the line at spitting on a napkin and wiping snot off my nose.
Add sugar.
I’m sorry, a what in the what now?
What, were you afraid you’d get more wet?
Can I be a complete heretic and start referring to myself as Empress of the Ordinary?
That’s how they rest when it’s hot out.
Just about can guarantee you gave that squirrel the best damn day of its life.
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you 
I have no words. That’s horrifying.
I’d give you a popsicle out of sheer sympathy, but it would probably melt as I handed it over.
well one thing is you dont have to soften the ice cream in the microwave … Tonight is time to pull out the woolens its down to 84 …
