Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I really could use a swim.
Yes! I really want one tonight, but the damn pool is closed until 6:00 am tomorrow. I'll be there bright and early, definitely. Then, if it's going to be as sunny tomorrow as they're saying, I'm going to head over to my apartment complex's pool in the afternoon just so I can read a book and bake in the sun. I'm determined to get a little bit of a tan this year!
Sonofabitch.
I just discovered some oldish gossip from the ex-church, that had been kept so quiet that I was there at the time and didn't even know about it until just now; apparently the current pastor not only just recently fired and evicted the ex-pastor, but previously, in late 2009, had fired one of the priests in residence, a lovely Australian man who'd been living in Berkeley for years while doing various postgrad projects and courses at Cal, and who had just started cancer treatments a month earlier when he was told, "Don't even bother dropping by the rectory to pick up your mail."
What. The. Fucking. Fuck.
who had just started cancer treatments a month earlier when he was told, "Don't even bother dropping by the rectory to pick up your mail."
Wow, that's just the definition of dickish.
Timelies all!
My parents are visiting this weekend.
I felt like GWB spent like half his presidency vacationing at his ranch in Crawford, but I suspect that was perception too,
well, it was kind of legit, he spent 487 days at Camp David and 490 days at the ranch according the the Huffington Post. So 977 days not working. Well, there is some possibility that he was working at Camp David.
a random order meara:
So 977 days not working.
Huh? Now I'm curious. I wonder how that stacks up against the other presidents?
That sandstorm is scary looking.
Also, count me as among the CU members here. In more than 10 years, never had a problem with them.
A co-worker sent me this [link] to her friend's album of aerial shots of the flooding in MO/IA/NE/SD. Very impressive.
And a news report with video from Yankton SD: [link]

More vacation time than his father, Carter, Clinton, and Reagan (who if memory recalls, set a record back then).
Re: Credit Unions
Yes, I’ve maintained my credit union membership that is back in New England because I loved it so, but I think the time has come for us to take a look at our options overall. I’ve found a great local credit union that is aimed at educators (that’s what the one I had in CT was) but also has an excellent small business wing. Might be perfect for us. Honestly, the only reason we haven’t done anything sooner is that it’s such a hassle to get everything transferred over. We’d basically be consolidating my c/s at the old credit union and ND’s personal c/s, business account, and our joint account at the evil bank. Totally doable, but I think we’d better wait until August when we get back from the business travel to tackle all the paperwork. The tricky thing is that I need to fill out all of the paperwork from the CT branch when I’m visiting home the week after next, so I’m not quite sure how all of that is going to work.
ita, that is beyond cool. I’m so glad you were able to go and enjoy your day.
