I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ok, shelves cleared and most Christmas stuff out. The boys wanted food, so while I got them something I also emptied the dishwasher and got some dishes done (but not all, damn you dishes!). I've also moved the printer to the back room, but have to clean things up a bit before I can hook it up, so I guess that is next.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Mr. Burrell could not be more adorable if he tried.

Well, maybe if he grew his sideburns out again, but that's it. Once that happens, MAXIMUM ADORABLE.

Awww. Y'all and your proposing are so cute.

I just got all my hair cut off! Ok, not alllll. But Hec will like it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oooo, I do like the sideburns.

ION, the broken pipes are mostly fixed and the plumbers gone for the day. I am verra happy with the new plumbers. Now we are taking some samples in to get them tested for asbestos. I'm crossing my fingers that there aren't any highly toxic minerals in my house. So far, the one expert who looked at them said we were safe, but we are testing to make sure.

Oh that would not be fair, broken pipes AND asbestos!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I had been wondering why some men felt a need to make the proposal such a spectacle after seeing the video of a ring being presented by a otter (I think). The explanation that the proposal is for him and the wedding is for her kind of makes sense, I guess. I'd want a no stadium/arena rule though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

bah. Still waiting for our bus which was supposed to leave 40 minutes ago. All they can tell us is it will be here soon.

Hec, I just posted a pic of the new hair on fb. I'll be curious to see what it looks like tomorrow when I am not professionally flat-ironed, etc.
