I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

How early is not too early to mow the lawn on a weekday? As a matter of neighborhood etiquette.

7?

Sweet, I probably won't get on it quite that early.

Yeah, I'd say on a weekday, since I tend to sleep in, I'd be annoyed at someone mowing the lawn at 7 (well, these days there's no lawn to mow and it's still DARK at 7, but in summer), but I wouldn't think it was out of line. If that makes sense.

On the weekend, I would curse their names.

I'd go with 8 am as a good mowing starting time, myself.

7 is the earliest acceptable, mainly in the summer (due to heat,) but I'd still feel free to curse, even if I was already up.

I wish I had some vaporub to stuff up my nose. TOO MANY SMELLS.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Yeah, an hour before the standard workday begins seems reasonable. Two hours would be pushing it.

7 a.m. on weekends would be grounds for acquittal.

People cursing my name over coffee is exactly what I want to avoid. I'll try 8 and see how hoppin' the neighborhood is by then. The professionals who do my neighbor's yard often start at 9, so I know that's pretty safe, but that's late enough I'll have been distracted by other tasks, knowing me.

ION, I thought I was charging my remote all day, but just noticed (mere minutes before TV I want to watch starts airing) that the other end of the charging cable wasn't plugged into anything. Supergenius.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

flea, that is so sad and scary.

Well, I still haven't done flex stuff, b/c my friend who's moving in came by, but I'm counting that as productive even if two glasses of wine, some very fine chocolate, and a gabfest isn't even close to onerous.

I still could do flex stuff. Hmm. Setting a timer for 15 minutes. And then can I have a gold star, Hec?

Y'all know how I feel about gray.

This is one way to tell that Cass and I are not the same person, for I love gray. Generally in combination with really bright colors, which is one way to tell juliana and I apart.

In case y'all were confuzzled.

I would say 8, as someone who sleeps until 7:30 on weekdays.

Tree is out of the house! Most of the needles are vaccuumed up! Poor Roomba was no match for the needles...I had to bust out the upright vac.
