[QUOTE=Draelin] I probably should have done that. There are undoubtedly some really cool features I totally don’t know about because I’m too busy swearing at the tiles. [/QUOTE] Sounds more like a bathroom decor problem. I’m still waiting to get windows 7 on my work PC. It’s goint to be one of the first things I need to do on e I get back to the office as my migration was scheduled for the day of my fusion. Hope the worked out he. Snags as nearly e ergone else in my group had problems since we use a wide array of oddbLl and old applications. ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > Today is not very exciting at work. Roomie has decided that she wants to DO THINGS (her exact words) this weekend. After very little discussion, our THINGS will probably be a trip to Smashburger and the craft **beer** store tonight, followed by a weekend spent sitting on the couch and making crap while watching _Ghost Shark_ and whatever other terrible things we can find on the Tivo or Netflix. You forgot one word that’ll make it _a lot_ more fun. 😉 I was good & didn’t drink anything last night but I am going to happy hour tonight. 😃 **Gotti** ’s stoned! 😛 ---

Pizza is ingested. It was good. I am considerin’ mowage of at least the front yahd. Or not. I will participate in major mowage tomorrow mornin’ as it’s my team’s turn to mow what we have deemed “the back forty” over to the church house. The cave yahd could stand to be mowed. It ain’t awful yet but in a few days will be. Maybe tomorrow. We shall see. ---

So, I came home and walked the dog, and found myself completely confused when his output was … unusual. Roomie came home, and we had the following conversation when I came out of the bathroom to find her greeting the dog: Me: Is he telling you all about what he just pooped out? Roomie: Was it peanuts? Me: And also whole almonds. _How did you know that?_ Roomie: Found an empty bag of mixed nuts on my bedroom floor that had been in a traveling bag under my bed. I thought he’d gotten it all out this morning, but maybe that was just the cashews. At least he wasn’t farting. ---

Glad to hear your surgery went well, **gotpasswords**. I’m back from the driving lesson. It went pretty well. I cracked a lot of jokes. The only really bad thing that happened wasn’t my fault - another driver wasn’t looking where she was going, and nearly banged into me. When we got to the next traffic light, my teacher opened the window of the car and gave the other driver shit! Hahahaha 😃 ---

My ex that I want to curbstomp is trying to contact me. I shall not reply. At least I know he’s no longer in the county so I don’t have to worry about running into him anywhere. ---

> [@SpazCat](#): > > [The very last panel of this comic is relevant to the ongoing discussion.](http://theoatmeal.com/comics/pets_war) This would work. Loading my bird up with dried cat food would also work. She loves the stuff, but her digestive tract does not. The results probably violate the Geneva Convention. 🙂 In other news, Swampy’s apparently [been a bad bear lately](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16600496&postcount=563). 😃 ---

I wish we lived near each other FCM. I don’t knit, but I do crochet, and I’m working on some projects for a craft booth just now.
