I don't post here often anymore, and I come bearing sad news. We just found out that our two year-old dog, Sammy, the Goldendoodle, has lymphoma. After a difficult decision, we've decided not to do chemo, for many reasons. He's acting like himself right now with the medication he's on, but his prognosis is 2-6 months (2-12 if we were to put him ( Read more... )

Wow, I sure haven't been here for a while. But I have some pretty important commentary.

I've seen the ads for the show Journeyman, and somehow convinced myself that the lead actor was Anthony Michael Hall. Probably because they are identical twins:

Kevin McKidd:

I want an iPhone so badly, it hurts. Please advise as to how I should proceed in getting out of my Sprint contract without paying an early termination fee. Please.

This article is really good news for me since it looks like I may be unemployed as of June 30.  Damn grant-funded non-profit positions.  It's not 100% certain that I'll be living on the dole, but management gave us all the "you should go ahead and start looking for other jobs" talk.  Joke's on them - I already had been!  Ha ha...haah..haaa... oh, ( Read more... )

I came downstairs this morning to James making pancakes.  I was...surprised.  According to him, he hadn't made pancakes for 20 years, which would explain the 3 skillet-sized pancakes he made.  He's been jonesing for pancakes for awhile; I think it was the Bisquick in the cupboard I bought for a recipe a few weeks ago, staring at him every time he ( Read more... )
