Getting cable and new tivo set up. (Actually tivo is set up.)

I am exhausted and starving.

I also fixed my paper shredder by rooting around in it with my big-ass hunting knife (finally good for something!) and consequently feel all manly

It's funny, because I fix my shredder with tweezers. Because I am a lady?

Just to be clear, the bear's name is Jeremy.

Heh.

Timelies all!

I'm so sorry, Scrappy.

I had to fix the shredder at work the other day. Found out the trick is to shift it gently back and forth, back and forth. I don't even want to think about that one.

Oh, god, I hate the Teacher function on the Scrabble app. That way you can definitely find out you had a seven letter word that hit a triple. How is that ever healthy? Why can't I stop hitting that button?

Also, I'm really happy for you, but only a freaky mutant nine year old can write this article. I see you, Ghostwriter Mom. However not that I'm seeing spelling errors, who knows? And maybe it's just the nine year olds I've known and been.

Okay, that's creepy--my opponent played while I had the window open, and I can see the word get put down. Also, my ass is being kicked.

I ditto Jesse's "heh."

I looked this up after Cokie Roberts referred to it:

 When Archbishop Philip Hannan got a phone call from Gov. John McKeithen in 1966, right after the NFL had awarded an expansion franchise to New Orleans, McKeithen asked the prelate if the Catholic Church would object to the team being called the Saints. Hannan replied that he had no objections — but he reminded McKeithen that, "from the viewpoint of the church, most of the saints were martyrs."

Did we know that the logo of the Las Vegas homicide division is the dead man's hand? [link]

That's my favorite part! I feel do accomplished when I do the right thing, or close to the highest points.

Oh, Scrappy, I'm so sorry. I will keep you all in my thoughts.

And, Consuela, my dad went through something similar with his folks and it was just a horrible time.

Oy, I'm a bad daughter. I'm not going to make dinner for my folks tonight, I just don't have the emotional energy. Shall call and claim I'm coming down with something (which is true--but I'm still going climbing and then out for Mexican tortilla soup).
