Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Laundry is my nemesis. I'd like my own place at times simply for my own washer & dryer, damnit.
Allyson, go back and read my confusing sorta-judgy meanderings this evening if that was your whatwhonow query.
Hee.
I'd LOVE if a Frontline letter got you more readers, no matter who brought them.
I'm watching the NOVA program on the Ulas family in Turkey whose kids walk on all fours due to some genetic thing.
I watched a bit of that too, and 30 seconds after I started watching it, I asked "(1) That looks like damage to the balance part of the brain and (2) What, no walkers?" The answer to both was that, if you live in rural Turkey, it's entirely possible to have a good guess as to what's wrong, and still have no means to do a thing about it. Seeing the son standing up at the end got me, though.
Maybe the tide is turning.
Well, it is Frontline. No advertisers to satisfy with scandalized eyeballs. What struck me most about the whole thing was that all the families involved appeared to have limitless budgets for technological gadgetry. I knew there was an up side to the digital divide! The internet apparently doesn't want your poorer daughters.
Do not tromp on the tray holding your cat's water and food dishes.
Cleaned it up, now soggy sock and flipflop are giving up for tonight.
I despise wet socks.
Do not tromp on the tray holding your cat's water and food dishes.
We have a lot of problems keeping toddlers out of pet food. They're favorite thing ever is to take the cat's dry food and dump it into his water like it's cereal.
I suspect they think it's just tuna-flavored Cocoa Puffs.
At least the tray we have keeps most of the mess off the floor and makes for easier clean up (which we have to do at least once a week).
Soggy socks also suck.
Wet socks are the worst. Unexpected wet socks exponentially so.
Lucy's favorite trick is tipping her chow out on to the floor to eat it, even with the bowl in the raised holder. Also sometimes just for fun.
She's pretty good about doing it without also tipping the water, so I've learned to live with it. We do have a rule that she has to eat all the floor chow before any more gets put in the bowl.
Moooom, floor food just tastes better!
Wet socks are unpleasant all out of proportion to the amount of water touching you.
I can't believe how loudly my cat is snoring right now!
