You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Happy Batversary to the Reasons!

Morning Jake Update, I came down to give him morning treats. He came out and ate them from my hand, and even gave me a little headbutt. He did start growling a few treats in, but I think he may have some kind of food issues. Everything was pretty good until Clio scratched at the door to the basement, which was Jake's cue to hiss and retreat. I think tonight I will have them switch places, and let Jake explore teh rest of the house.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks for nothing, guys. Where were you when I needed you? I really didn't want to go to the ER.

Nonetheless, happy birthday DCJ, and happy anniversary to to the House of Reason.

Does anyone know how old the puppies are?

The blurb on the main site says they were 3 weeks old on the 28th.

Happy Halloween!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I really didn't want to go to the ER.

I didn't want you to go either!

Happy Birthdasy DCJ! Happy Anniversary, Reasons.

My sister does not own a coffee maker.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My sister does not own a coffee maker.

Even before I drank coffee, I owned a tiny, automatic drip machine for guests, mostly because my parents drank coffee.

I'm having some premium Valencia OJ this morning and boy does it taste yummy.

I don't have a coffeemaker, but I have a drip cone and filters, and a stovetop percolater. Both of which make enough mess that I really need to have coffee to make coffee. And frankly, I live a five minute walk from a mall that has at least three coffee places in it, so I usually get coffee from there.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I went back to the cone and electric kettle method a few years ago (I think on JessiMoon's recommendation?) and I still love it. If I could afford a new fancy-schmancy espresso machine like I used to have that might be tempting, but I have no desire for a usual drip maker.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I went back to the cone and electric kettle method a few years ago (I think on JessiMoon's recommendation?) and I still love it.

I don't know if I can take credit, but I've been a longtime user of the electric kettle + cone filter method. It's the best way I know to make 1 cup at a time fast, and the cones are so cheap that if I wanted to I could buy a bunch of extras and make as many cups at a time as I have mugs.

Happy Birthday DCJ! Happy Anniversary Jilli and Pete!

Happy Halloween!

I have a stovetop espressomaker thing like this:http://www.laprimashops.com/Bialetti-Moka-Express-Stovetop-Espresso-Maker-12-Cup_p_35-764.html but mine cost $6.00 in the Hispanic section of the grocery store, and only makes 3 cups. But preferable to drip coffee for the price, I think.
