You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I need a sanity check, please. There is a munchkin on FB who keeps tagging himself in photos of mine. No, he's not in them. I remove the tag each time, but I'm also thinking of making a PSA -sort of FB post saying "Hey folks tagging yourself in other people's photos that you aren't in is not cool."

Should I do that? Should I just sigh, accept it's something the kidlings do these days, and just remove the tags as they show up?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yep. Although it's fun to see people with accents flip the channel on people who think they're stupid because of an accent or dialect usage.

It amuses me when people underestimate me because of my mild Southern accent. It makes their inevitable defeat funnier.

A cat tree will soon arrive! All these years I've had cats and never bought a cat tree. The living room is vacuumed and rearranged to accommodate the huge thing by the patio window. I sure hope the delivery driver is willing to deliver it all the way into my house, because it's six feet tall and weighs 90 pounds, and I seriously doubt I can lift it by myself. It's three steps past the front door; surely he'll do that, right?

I am slowly losing my unenlightened feelings about Southern accents. Since working the phones, I'm actually hearing the differences between Georgia and the Carolinas and Tennessee etc. Love, love, love Georgians, sound so sweet, are so snarky.

Thrive to spite them

I think that's weird Jilli. I have no idea why someone would do that.

If it were me though, I'd probably just message the guy ask him why he's doing it and also to stop.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If it's just the one person, that doesn't seem to warrant a PSA.

Is it a store delivery service or, like, UPS, Zen? Either way, I've had many delivery people offer to bring heavy things actually inside for me. Good luck with the new cat tree!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I would ask him to stop and if he doesn't, block him.

It looks like I'll be working through much of the game on Sunday. I don't mind, but I wish I'd looked into the event before taking the gig. [link] I think this is music that is more fun to play than to listen to.

Jilli - can you tell that it's that person who's tagging the photos?

I was looking at photos on a horse rescue website that had my cousin tagged in them: she wasn't in the photos but they wanted to draw her attention to them.

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

It drives me batty when people do this. You can @ someone in a post without tagging them in the photo. Come on, I am not in this picture of a bookshelf!!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I cannot stop reading the comments on this bob and Eli article on hairpin! Jesse, I hope you saw this!

Also cannot post correctly from my iPhone.
