Good on you for going to the doctor for a housecat bite. They can go hot so fast. I rarely get damaged by feral cats because I know to be very careful. I forget when it comes to my smooshy housecats, though.
Oh man, that just sucks. What a perfect ending to a shitty day.
I hates picking seed beads out of carpet.
Must be a local law here then. Glad you and kitty are fine!
Do you have a vacuum cleaner? If so stretch a piece of a nylon over the nozzle (after you detach the cleaning head, I mean) and rubber band it in place (but not so taut that there isn’t some stretch left.) Then spend a few minutes thoroughly working the nozzle over the rug, with frequent pauses where you hold the nozzle above a bowl and turn off the suction.
Even if you think you found all the beads, I bet you haven’t.
The neighbors are arguing about who has more of a right to park in front of our house. I hope the ones to the east win because they are much nicer; the ones across the street can eat exhaust pipe.
Giggle. Ain’t that the truth.
Pretty good hike today (yay for last spring break ever) but we got a little…off the trail…and had to do a bit of chaparral-whacking to get back on, so now I’m feeling whiny about the little scratches I have on my arms.
Indeed, kitty bites are nothing to sneeze at. BTDT, have the scars to prove it. Enjoy the antibiotics. urp
BTW, I’m considering petitioning to change my username because I’m no longer horsetech, I’m now vet student pretending to have a life unrelated to the field. I’d like to steal something punny from the username thread. What do y’all think?
I guess technically they both have the right on a public street, but it’s still a dick move.
Go for it!
Hey, jerkwad, I know that you’re in an incredible hurry, because you just pulled out in front of me, causing me to panic brake, even though there were no vehicles behind me. So why are you now dawdling along 10 miles per hour under the limit in apparent complete ignorance of the location of your accelerator? And why are there so many dipshits like you on the road lately?
I liked the Cracked article(?) that pointed out that Corned Beef & Cabbage was about as Irish as Spaghetti & Meatballs.
Sorry, too late, ingrained in American culture now.
Yesterday my payment to Virgin Mobile was due. I paid it. They sent me a text confirming they got it. It went through my bank. Then Virgin Mobile shut off my service at midnight.
They say I owe a balance of .20. Because after I paid my balance and they confirmed it I made a call (I had two minutes left when I paid it). They said this was a one time courtesy that they let me do. And it was that call that I owed them .20 for and that’s why they cut off my service. Except that two days prior I tried to make a call and they wouldn’t let me because my balance was too low.
Virgin Mobile says that it’s my responsibility to call them or check my balance after my payment is made and after they confirm it to make sure my balance is updated. Because payments don’t go through “until the evening” even though their system says it only takes 15 minutes to update.
Sigh. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to dump them. This is the second month in a row that I pay my bill and then they shut my phone off. Don’t even get me started about how they screwed my phone up so badly three months ago that they had to send me a new one.
I wish people wouldn’t mail things in tubes (or other prone-to-rolling parcels). The machinery that sorts the packages is not engineered to deal with packages that can roll off, and it increases the potential for in-transit damage.
What the hell would you sauce it with?:dubious:
Which is why we had boiled dinner made with bacon. I got my favorite real butcher to make a batch. Maybe next year we will make our own instead.
And we threw in turnips along with parsnips instead of potatoes, carrots, onions and cabbage. Some caraway seeds, back bacon and time. I was thinking of making soda bread, or salt raised bread but we defaulted to sourdough.

Guiness.
Did you really mean ‘time’ or did you mean thyme?
Do you have the time for thyme anyway?
Roofing nails are a terrible thing to have spill on a street. That’s my random observation for the day.
There is a special place in hell for people who pay for Girl Scout cookies with nickels.
Holy fucking shit, a deer impaled itself on my fence last night. I’m pretty sure I heard it…I was watching a movie, and heard something metallic from the direction of the back yard, but I assumed it was just an echo from the sound system (the downstairs of my house is an open plan with tall ceilings). This is the second time this has happened. Fortunately, a wildlife service was willing to remove and dispose of the deer…for $150.
I’ve actually had OK luck with mailing tubes…they’re not my first choice of packaging though. These beads were actually packed into tiny plastic tubes with caps; these tubes were inside padded mailing envelopes.
Cool! I’m going to try this on my comfy chair, too…I end up doing a lot of beading there, and I know I’ve dropped lots of stuff without realizing it immediately.
The only thing worse is picking them out of the seams of an upholstered chair.
In the long run, it’s going to be fine…what made me so pissy is that I’ve just gotten into off-loom weaving, and I like being able to just pick beads of a specific color out of the tray without taking my eyes off my work.
Right next to those pushy little fuckers and their cookies? 
Damn it. Now I want thin mints. Would you take some nickels?
The people who do that also seem to be really fond of pulling out in front of you when you’re the only car on the road, and then making a left turn right in front of you. I suspect it’s because the finesse of driving is completely lost on people who can barely drive in a straight line.
Crock pot/slow cooker, time is correct, though not sure how thyme would go with carraway and back bacon. :dubious:
Fucking Sallie Mae. I sent a letter. I called four times. I told you, each time, do NOT recalculate my monthly auto debit down after I sent in a lump sum payment that wiped out one loan. DO NOT LOWER IT. Three people tell me it won’t be lowered. And then what happens this month? It goes down!
I’m at my wits’ end with these people. Part of me thinks they’re doing it on purpose so I owe them money for longer. The other part of me thinks they’re totally incompetent. I don’t know how the hell to get them to do what I want them to do. The last guy said he’d fix it and start an “investigation,” but after being told completely wrong things by the previous three people, how can I believe that? AGGGHGHGHGHHGH!!!
