Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It looks like the federal government is closing early in anticipation of the snow (my DH's office follows the feds). I note, however, that my neighbor who is pretty high up there in the Obama administration is not up this morning so it looks like maybe Rahm isn't having his 7:30 meeting.
Stay safe, fellow storm shut ins!
FTR: being forcibly moved or transported in any way counts as kidnapping according to the law-enforcement segment of my training. e.g.: someone breaks into your home, points a gun (or knife, or banana) at you, and makes you walk from the bedroom to the bathroom under threat of personal harm...that counts as kidnapping. Makes it easier to pile on charges in criminal cases.
A high level Pakistani diplomat has been rejected as Ambassador of Saudi Arabia because his name, Akbar Zib, equates to "Biggest Dick" in Arabic. Saudi officials, apparently overwhelmed by the idea of the name, put their foot down and gave the idea of his being posted there, the kibosh.
Beginning the working from home experiment.
Good luck with Snowpocalypse, Easterners! I feel guilty since we've had a very mild winter this year.
The only bulk place we have is Sam's Club. We only go there in dire cases. I wish we had a Costco.
Before the snow starts I am going to the food co-op. I am crazy, but I am hoping to find challah.
Imma stick with meerkatting. Also I'm going to recommend he just not do it, because it freaks me out. He's very quick and silent.
"Prariedogging" vs. "meerkatting"? This a cat people vs. dog people thing, isn't it?
Java, I know friends of mine who bring caseS of wine home to MA with them from Napa, since they can't get them shipped.
I vote prairiedogging. Meerkats huddle, but prairie dogs pop up at random out of many different burrows.
Hmm, maybe I'll do Costco today, if I get myself moving enough to leave the house. I'm off for four days after a big project that practically drove me to a nervous breakdown finally wrapped.
This a cat people vs. dog people thing, isn't it?
Yes, because I can be characterised as either, and it would so definitely be the cat if you could choose.
