\*\*sunny \*\*- The Secret Life of Pets is hilarious! A few parts my be a bit intense for really little ones, but overall it’s just fun and exciting and silly, with a good ending. I think you’ll like it! \*\*FCD \*\*called, somewhat pissed. He made a mock-up of a special buoy they’re prototyping for the coast guard, and another engineer came in, started swinging it around, and smashed it into the wall. No way to make a new one before tomorrow - the 3-D printer isn’t that fast. So my poor sweetie needs to figure out how to patch it up so it doesn’t look like crap for the customers tomorrow. He was not amused. Closing in on quit time. Finally. I’m close to fried. ---

Here comes the rain, along with the thunder and lightening. No yard work today. Is okay, I have plenty to keep me busy inside the house. Which I should be doing more of. The tart cherry concentrate seems to be helping with the aching joints, as well as helping me sleep better. ---

Question that’s not worth making a whole new thread for: Why do thrift stores not accept Diaper Genies? I tried to drop one off at the Value Village and they wouldn’t take it because apparently it’s a “health issue”. I can see not accepting cribs, car seats, etc. because they seem to be constantly getting upgraded for “safety” but a Diaper Genie? The soiled diaper goes into plastic, it’s not like poop is directly touching the unit. And even if some did all you need to do is clean it off. I mean, they accept second-hand bathing suits, which to me is way grosser than a Diaper Genie. ---

I expect the Diaper Genie cannot be easily determined to be clean - it could look fine, but unless it’s been cleaned properly, it could be gross and germy. Swimsuits, on the other hand, go into a washer with soap, then into a dryer or out in the sun to dry, and it’s pretty obvious that it’s been laundered. I guess. Almost time to go. Attitude has set in. Productivity has ceased for today. ---

**blurf** I have been so busy I missed lunch and thought if was around noon and it was near 4PM. I may jet out early instead of having lunch this late which I will have to go fetch…Decisions, decisions… And I just love Karma. She is a bitch but it is so satisfying when it come back to bite someone deserving and I get to see it happen. ---

I’m ok with them expiring while on vacation, so long as that doesn’t mean I can’t change them. I’m more likely to remember an old password I used for three months than a new one I used for three days. ---

This particular model doesn’t lend itself to being divided. Plus we did it on our 3D printer - the company doesn’t have one. \*\*FCD \*\*printed up the segment that was broken and he’s gluing in on the prototype, hoping it looks decent. Nothing like showing your customer a piece of crap… and it looked so good before doofus broke it. I need to forage for food. My sweetie isn’t hungry, and I am, just a little bit. Dunno what I want, but I guess I’ll find something. ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from men’s night over to the church house. We had a larger crowd than expected so da bear had to get into the sooper seekrit reserve of steak knives. Actually they’re just a couple boxes of cheap steak knives in a drawer by themselves cause the place where the other cheap steak knives live is full. Anywho a good time was had by all. In addition to steak or whatever other kind of animal flesh desired, we had sallit, corn on the cob, baked fresh spareguts, bizkits and chawklit cake. A feast! **gotti** I say that deserves at least a Frosty.[sup]TM[/sup] **MOOOOOOM** that engineer deserves a case of PSWSLNS!\* \*[sup]For those not in the know that’s Pointy Stick Weildin’ Sri Lankan Ninga Spiders[/sup] ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > I’m really hoping the promised thunderstorms all happen just after I get home from work, because that’s an acceptable excuse to not mow the lawn. Which I have never done before, but nobody else seems like they’re gonna do it. I don’t do it because once I get the mower out of the garage, I’m too short to close the garage door by myself.

We are _not_ going there today, because I have no evidence of a contract, a credit card, _or_ an appointment. I know he was dealing with the other girl in the office on Friday, so I don’t have all the information, but everything \*\*I can find points to him being a complete jerk. \*\* Is he from Arrrggghh-Kansas?

Just a WAG on my part. :o > [@kopek](#): > > Save the link from last week; pictures of me and Bessie should be popping up on the various West Side Cats sites/facebook over the week. She got two trophies – one was second for her class and the other was a special trophy sponsored by one of the major donors. It turns out the Agway people really liked a cow-themed motorcycle. Go figure. 😃 Trek Bicycles has a customization program called [Project One](http://projectone.trekbikes.com/worldwide). In the past, one of the options was a [Cow](http://www.thehippy.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/normal_trek_spottedcow.jpg); complete with pink where the udders would be. ---

That reminds me of this one lady who used to work at The Jungle with me. She had a cochlear implant of some kind. For whatever reason hers was a bit larger and more obvious than other ones I’ve seen. Whenever she caught someone staring at it she would stare back and say “We will assimilate you”. I miss her a lot; she was fun. ---

(Some foods are not beard-safe) [/QUOTE] I’ve got what some call a yeard. Pretty much nothing is safe around that length. Meanwhile, the lidocaine used this morning to help sneak the monitor under my skin has worn off. Owie.

Apparently I forgot to turn off my computer last night. I last used it to order pizza for supper, then didn’t come back to my desk till now. Oh well… There was incontrovertible proof on the news that Donald Trump has mastered time travel! He managed to travel back to 2008 and give Michelle Obama the same speech that Melania delivered last night, just to further embarrass the Obamas! And no doubt it’s the best time travel machine evah!!! Of all the people who deserve to be abducted by aliens and taken to a galaxy far, far away… How I hate politics… Happy Tuesday anyway. ---
