But did you have to power wash your luggage & do all your laundry because a toilet valve got stuck open and flooded the bath and your suitcase the floor below??!

Good grief. I certainly hope my vacation is not like y'all's vacations. Eek.

We got 5-6 inches last night and it is still snowing. Im staying home because there was no point in going in when no one could come to the office to see me. Frisco and I played outside for about an hour and had lots of fun sledding down the driveway until he climbed up a a snow drift, rolled down, and the freaked out because his face, hood, hat, and jacket were full of snow. It lasted about 1 minute, if that, but he keeps talking about how the snow was in his face, he couldn't breathe, and I didn't get him. Poor kid. We came in, took off the wet clothes, had lunch, started a fire, and are now watching Cars 2.

This is why I don't go on vacation. It never goes well

shelters need volunteers and worker like woah. At least down here.

They do here, to. Weirdly, the big shelter in Rochester is actually in a neighboring county, so no way to get there without a car.

I actually need to think about becoming a car owner again, even though I really do not want to because a) I hate driving, especially in snow, b) I hate parking and c) I hate spending money. But the bus services is discontinuing routes to my house like crazy, so next semester if I don't get out of the theatre by 7:30, there will be no bus that goes to my house until 10:20. I can leave the college, but the bus that goes to my house is now only doing half the route for most runs.

Did the embed I posted here work, Jesse?

I think I'm going to destroy the world today. I hope nobody's using it.

That's where I keep all my stuff! t /The Tick

Shelters and rescues pretty much always need volunteers. I think you can also volunteer at zoos, at least some of them. You can at the one here.

Eh, my brother took my suitcase to a drive thru, do it yourself car wash to clean it & I had taken all the presents out already, so just a lot of laundry on hot.

My SIL was the most annoyed with brother's lack of urgency when she was yelling for help. But seems over it now.

Yikes, Sara.

Did the embed I posted here work, Jesse?

Yep! It will be up in 15 minutes.

Ugh, sara. I'm so sorry. Are the nephews making up for it with teh cute?

Jamaican Opposition Leader Comes Out For Gay Rights

In a “historic” advancement for LGBT equality in Jamaica, People’s National Party leader Portia Simpson-Miller “has come out for LGBT rights during an election debate,” insisting that “no one should be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation.” The leader — who is trailing the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) ahead of the Dec. 29 election — said she would consider appointing gays to her Cabinet and reviewing “the anti-gay buggery law.” Jamaica is widely considered to be one of the most homophobic countries in the world, where gays and lesbians face rampant mob violence.
