I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

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

Ky. Man Forced To Eat Own Beard

A central Kentucky man said he's waiting for justice to be served after two men shaved his beard, then made him eat it.

Harvey Westmoreland and his brother got into a fight with James Hill and Troy Holt in May.

The dispute was over a tractor Westmoreland was trying to sell to one of the men.

Westmoreland said the men felt like they were being ripped off and that's when the fight started.

"Troy offered to buy it from me for $250 dollars. I paid twenty bucks for it. He thought I was trying to cheat him," Westmoreland told WLEX-TV.

"One thing led to another, and before I knew it, there were knives and guns and everything just went haywire."

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

Oh it needs cleaning - there are whole warrens of dust bunnies lurking under the piles of paper.

Damn You, Auto Correct

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

Auto correct drives me insane sometimes. I don't have an iPhone, just a pseudo-smartphone HTC thing I picked up in China, but I have sent some truly bizarre things to Twitter because of it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, then you can just scoop the piles of paper into a box for later perusal. Just don't forget the perusal later.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hooray! I just got my first money in at this job! Granted, it was a renewal, but I had a meeting with a board member, and they increased from last year. PHEW.

Someone is starting a Time Bank in my community, and I just signed up. [link] I am really excited about it - both the community-building aspects and the idea of having someone who is not me and my husband to help kick-start projects around the house and yard. I mean, I am much less likely to put stuff off if someone is coming over to help for an hour or two, right? And I listed myself as good at doing things like setting up LibraryThing for churches and organizations, organizing, and painting, all of which would be kinda fun to do.

Yay money! Good for you! Renewals aren't automatic things, so you did good work, especially to get an increase. Good job!

Rawr, indeed!

Happy birthday, Jessimoon!

I really like the Time Bank concept.

Yay money! Good for you! Renewals aren't automatic things, so you did good work, especially to get an increase. Good job!

Thank you!!
