Sea Monkeys are brine shrimp. A guy bred brine shrimp and let the oldest breed until he had some that would live more than overnight. Sorry, Dude. They sleep with the fishes. ---

[QUOTE=Yllaria] the importance of commas… Rachael Ray finds inspiration in cooking her family and her dog. [/QUOTE] Somewhere around the turn of the century, Pacific Bell / SBC ran an ad that showcased the dangers of dialup. A woman wants to greet the new neighbors. The new family, or at least their child, happen to be deaf, so she tries to stream a jumpy and blocky video on sign language, then heads over. She presents a pie and signs “I baked your dog,” prompting the kid to run off screaming. Sadly, nobody seems to have put this up on Youtube, so you’ll have to trust me. ---

Sah-son decided he wanted Dominoes today. Would not have been my choice but it’s his day so his choice. So part of a pizza for lunch, part for dinner and maybe even some left for breakfast. I ordered some chocolate lava cakes as well, so there is my chocolate fix for the next few days. He got several Dominoes gift cards for Christmas and I asked if he wanted to use one of his cards or should I pay for it. HA! Dumb question! He is hanging on to his gift cards. ---

Home at last. The cabinet I’m trying to draw is really trying my patience. The original drawings are incomplete and inaccurate. The actual cabinets that we have in-house are only partially accessible, so I do a lot of feeling around to try to figure out how it’s put together. But there’s some stuff that I’m just guessing. It does help to build it in 3-D, but little mistakes affect multiple parts, and I’m getting really good at adding to or taking from extrusions. I think I’ve figured out the shell as well as I can, so tomorrow, I’ll start drawing up the details. I dread doing the assembly drawing, so that’ll be last. And they’ll have to find someone to do a really good check of my drawings - the chances that I’ve done it all perfectly are pretty close to nil. \*\*FCD \*\*and his folks should be near or on I-10 west of Jacksonville. Possibly farther down 301. I know they’ll all be glad to hit Ocala. Higgs is outside barking like an idiot - something she does oh-so-well. It’s 15 minutes till her dinnertime, so she’ll be at the door soon. My supper will be leftover pot roast and veggies. Ice cream for dessert. And maybe an early bedtime. I’s fried. Happy Tuesday anyway! ---

> [@gotpasswords](#): > > “I baked your dog,” The sign for “dog” is snapping your fingers or patting your lower leg, as you would call a dog. I’d like to see that; I sign very, very badly, but I can’t imagine how the error would occur. 🙂 ---

She’s out in the yard again, in the moonlight, barking at something she saw in the dark. Little goof. My sweetie called a bit ago - they were in Starke, stopping for something to eat. They should be in Ocala by 7:30 or so, depending on how long it takes them to have supper. Then midday on Firday, MIL will take FCD to the Amtrak station in Orlando, that he’ll be in DC the next morning. YAY!! ---
