Translation: Can’t afford the requisite chocolate and squid. At least we MMPers provide the goat…
I step in cat puke on a daily basis, as the resident cat is a puker. My husband thoughtfully covered up today’s puke pile with a tissue, so I would see it and clean it up off the floor without stepping in it first. Mr. Sali, you are spoiling me with your thoughtfulness.
I have two male hummingbirds battling over the nectar feeder, as that deck ain’t big enough for the two of them. There’s one dowdy little female, too. And there are two male rose-breasted grosbeaks (striking big birds, black, white beaks, with white undersides and crimson shields on their, uh, breasts) squabbling over the sunflower seeds. One female grosbeak, who looks like a gigantic sparrow, with white eyeliner.
I’m re-thinking this thread. 
It’s true; ever since I’ve been unemployed, I can’t afford chocolate and squid.

I can get fully on-board with terminating scammers. Throw in spammers and glurge forwarders, and I want to marry this idea.
There’s a delicious oxymoron: texting a picture!
It’s the best club that ever was! Everybody is a member once they make their first post. It’s sort of like the Hotel California. 
Also, to answer your user title… No, but a friend of mine in Tennessee does. As a matter of fact the momma goat just gave birth to two kids the other day and they are sooooo cute! 
I have to go dig if I want any supper today.
I really really didn’t want to phrase it that way but I honestly couldn’t come up with a better verb. Is there a picture version of texting? Picting?
Company coming today. Boyfriend is under the impression that just serving his famous chili is enough. I prefer to actually give guests things like drinks, fruit, cheese, chips, dessert. He is making fun of me for going overboard. We have the chili, Italian bread, cheese, fruit, and pastries. I don’t understand how someone can invite people to the house for the first time and expect to just feed them chili.
I clogged the sink. Our guests should be here in an hour or so and he’s in there trying to unclog it (I’m too short to plunge the kitchen sink or I’d be doing it myself).
The other day I was walking home from the bus station downtown, and the strap on one of my flip flops broke. So I had to walk about a mile barefoot.
My feet are still kind of killing me. Ow.
We got a wasp AND a bumblebee in the house today - the bumblebee I escorted out, the wasp Jim just whuppawed.
I tried to dig, but the kids across the road where out and yelling. Then I tried to work in the back, and the neighbour started mowing. I’m inside now.
My wife tried a traditional recipe for the first time today. It’s a dish I don’t especially like (kimchee,) so I’m tempted to hurt myself or hide so I won’t have to be a lab rat for every little adjustment she makes. I already made a sign for when she calls her parents to send for help.
The dog trainer came today. She finally got to see the girls in their Thunder Shirts. She assured us that they are not terrified of the shirts, they’re just not used to wearing clothes. She also said that watching the girls in their Thunder Shirts is hilarious and she said I should take some video to put on facebook.
She also took a walk with us and she finally got to see the dog around the corner. She agrees with us that the dog is a tragedy waiting to happen and advised us to not walk that way.
She then gave us the certificate of completion for the first puppy class for both puppies. As soon as we had the certificate, both girls started acting like they had never been to a single obedience class. :rolleyes:
I found my record player and listened to “101 Strings in a Hawaiian Paradise”.
I managed to fix my computer today.
It’s actually going to be HOT today! Woohoo!
I finally managed to convince my boyfriend that sometimes canceling a cell phone plan is a good thing.
For a measly $75 cancellation fee for his phone, he gets:
- away from AT&T
- 2 phones for free
- no activation fees
- no shipping costs
- to throw away his piece of shit phone
- $100 credit either the first or second bill (So, basically, Sprint is paying him $25 to leave AT&T)
- Off his parent’s cell phone plan which costs him $30 per month.
And I get:
- To get off my sister’s cell phone plan which costs me $80 per month.
- To stop having to listen to him bitch about his piece of shit phone or AT&T.
The new plan will cost us $100 per month instead of the $110 we were paying.
Life is good.
I just stepped in cat barf AGAIN, only this time it wasn’t barf, it was poop, and I wasn’t wearing socks. Luckily, it was just one toe.
My house is wildlife central. We live in city limits, in a suburb of Savannah, Georgia, but our house is surrounded on three sides by old-growth woods*, so we get lots of 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, and no-legged visitors. Since moving into it in December, I have encountered the following critters inside:
Frogs (tree frogs and the lumpy, generic “regular” frogs)
A slug
Two birds (one wren, and one quail - they flew in at different times)
Gi-normous spiders (harmless, except for one that my husband killed. It had babies on its back, and the hubby nearly hurt himself trying to kill all of the dozens of itsy bitsy spiders that exploded all over the office. This is why I refer to extra-large bugs as “aerosol-sized.” That is, “large enough that I will reach for the nearest spray can/bottle and use that to kill it, 'cause I don’t want to see that many bug guts.” I have hair-sprayed, air-freshened, and furniture-polished many bugs into oblivion.)
A couple of earthworms
Various wasps, bees, and other stinging insects
A couple of butterflies
Palmetto bugs (not so unusual where I live, but still… eeewww!)
A couple of lizards, who lived in the laundry room until springtime. (I didn’t have the heart to put them out when the weather was cold.)
On my carport/porches:
A possum
A raccoon
A rabbit
A fledgeling owl, who spent the day under the carport during one of its test flights
A pair of Carolina wrens, along with their nest of three babies are currently living under the carport, in the cabinet that I took out of the kitchen.
A bobcat
A couple of rat snakes
A hawk
Any number of squirrels
A luna moth
A skink
*Actually, some of the trees are so large/old that I realized the other day that General Sherman’s troops probably pissed on some of our trees on their way to Savannah.
My poor dog has been sick for 5 days. Today we are puke-free. Yay for antibiotics and bags of fluid to pump into him.
I’ve never seen this before. They didn’t use an IV, they just had us stick a needle behind his neck and pump it under the skin so he could absorb it. Of course, by us I mean *my husband * the strong stomached one.
I did night watch and clean up, he did the needles. (shudder)
I caught a cold.
