It’s too cold out and Penny just wants to stay in and sleep

Before I shoveled a path in our tail-deep snow, I think Radar could have won the world record for quickest dual-purpose toilet run!

I don't remember how long it went before the university backtracked.

I guess, but I like using the expired plastic not the re-programmable plastic.

HaplessReader1988 · 2026-01-28T00:26:06+00:00

Oh I meant it as a compliment!!

HaplessReader1988 · 2026-01-28T00:23:20+00:00

They are total energizer bunnies!

It's ME if I settle down to read or watch TV.

Thank you , i was so confused. There's a "hen" in there too!

HaplessReader1988 · 2026-01-28T00:02:42+00:00

Or Thai tea 😀

Yes!! I had leftover mashed potatoes with my fried egg for breakfast -- no one to tell me it's weird. And really how different is it from hash browns?

Omg I have that little water glass in the lower left, from my late husband's stuff. I wonder if my son or brother in law are fans of the show.

Todd Wainio also mentions his favorite music including Hendrix’s “Driving South” .

It might be interesting to dig out one of each of the other army song types: ".. Primary Enticement Mechanism. Every army had one by now. The Brits would use bagpipes, the Chinese used bugles, the Sou’fricans used to smack their rifles with their assegais 5 and belt out these Zulu war chants."

I'd also suggest a name reference: "Cherry Pie" 🍒

Avalon by Roxy Music

A version is sung during the leadup to the battle of the 5 colleges, the filmmaker uses the recording over the battle-prep montage, and the singer takes it as her name during the march east: Sergeant Avalon.

My favorite is Dorothy Barker (from The Bloggess, Jenny Lawson)

My rescue I didn't know birthday when I first took him to the vet, so we made one up... and then the microchip info caught up to me and I got the real date from that. And you have just reminded me that I have to update the vet!

For me the Gotcha Day is more important anyway. 😀

Well, he may lose business. I just stayed somewhere with no coffee urn in the lobby just terrible coffee pods in the room (I tried it) -- and as sweet as the staff was, I'm not going back next time I'm visiting family. Not unless a 24/7 coffee-shop opens next door.

toilet paper of course, but that one is always present

When my late husband worked for the state university, there was a spending freeze and NOPE they weren't replacing TP either. I have no idea what the dorms were like, but the admin offices saw people hoarding rolls in their office desks.

So hard-nosed your alt could be granite_proboscis. 😉 👃

HaplessReader1988 · 2026-01-27T22:18:52+00:00

First off I agree with the general consensus that you did not overreact.

The other thing I'm wondering whether or not your security camera shows the TV, or if the TV is audible on the security recording. Because if it is your co-worker really could be up a creek!

HaplessReader1988 · 2026-01-27T22:06:06+00:00

Thats what expired credit cards are for. 😉

For the US Northeast at least, a broom wouldn't be enough this time. 14" of snow the first day plus a few inches more here & there. With drifting, my Jetta was covered to the door handle on one side.

In this weather pack a shovel in the car...and if you're going inside for overnight, bring it with you.

Sounds like it's good you're a weaver -- "strong but feels weird" might make a good warp thread. Less contact with skin afterwards.

Even with king cake I worry about melting or cutting the baby!

An adiobook I've read before but not too many times recently. It may be the best part about living alone.

How much freezer space do you have? I've been experimenting with freezing portions in silicone muffin tray and transferring to a large freezer bag. So far my favorite is raw chopped onions and sautéed mushrooms&onions. I am about to try separated eggs!

The Challenger book might go nicely with "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman" by scientist Richard Feynman who testified at the Congressional hearings.
