I had a buck ride shotgun two weeks ago too. I kept saying Yes, deer… No, deer. ---

I has the most annoying cat. The Jynxster doesnt like human food. At all. No beef, no chicken, no fishes. Cheese is acceptable but only pill free and only sharp chedder and only if given by my husband. Brie is verboten but must be investigated every 2.5 seconds to make absolutely positively sure its not chedder, and then I am given the pouty face. My other cats regularly enjoy grapes, green beans, asparagras, tomatos, hard boiled eggs, brussel sprouts, most anything we are having for dinner and chicken or duck jerky dog treats. ---

Is it Friday yet? I’m supposed to be writing. So far I’ve played a computer game and checked all webcomics and forums. ---

Welp, [looks like I’m a target](http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4306249,00.html)… Meh. I’ve been through Desert Storm in 1991. Been there, done that, nobody bothered to hand out T-shirts ☹ 😛 TBH, with the Iron Dome I actually feel completely safe. 🙂 ---

Be safe **Special1**! Beast stew and cornbread for dindin. More southern USofA comfort food on a gray, chilly day. ---

Grey day here, too, but not chilly, it’s about 70. Slowly but surely movin’ stuffs out to the front for tomorrow’s pickup. At least we got such a huge storage unit that we can keep more than we thought; I just hope it ends up worth it: it’s gonna be 1000 bucks for 6 months’ storage. :eek: But we really needed it: we just bought a new fridge and new dryer, and although the bed is 15 years old, it’s still awesome and I love it, and the couch pretty new, too. So it’d be over 1000 just to replace those, not to mention we’re still paying on half of it. Posole for lunch! 😃 ---

> [@Noone\_Special](#): > > Welp, [looks like I’m a target](http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4306249,00.html)… That’s messed up. Sorry! Stay safe. And can you remind me what the Iron Dome is? The anti missile missiles? ---

Stay safe, everyone over there. I had never heard of the iron dome before, no idea what’s going on over there, to be honest. But fingers are crossed. ---
