Boys
Coming home on the D-line around Brookline Village I see two boys get on through a middle door. They're probably two years apart, older than 5 but less than 10. No parents to be seen, but soon I see grandma and grandpa walking back from the front of the car having just paid. You'd be surprised how many adults don't. Grandma walks by the boys and ( Read more... ) -
one of those days
Last night I had pretty bad heart burn, to the point where I felt like I was going to throw up. I ended up propping myself up on the couch, but lost a couple hours of sleep in the process. I intentionally slept in to get some of that back. I leave the house as planned but when I got to the T I realized Carol still had my Charlie card from when she ( Read more... ) -
cat medical bills
We spent $846.75 on medical bills for Max last year. That probably means we dropped close to a grand on him altogether. -
Random Julian #1
An older kid, maybe 6 years old, parked his bicycle next to the sprinklers at Winthrop Park. Julian went up the bike and started playing with the pedal. Soon the kid came back and I told Julian to move away because the kid wanted to ride his bike. I thought it was funny because it reminded me of a Sons of Anarchy episode where Jax comes out of a ( Read more... ) -
String of events
This is why the internet is great in a way that you don't think of.
Julian loves to bang on keyboards. More specifically he loves to play with anything you are using. So he bangs on our keyboards. Carol lets him do this and since I'm not home during the day I can't stop him. He broke my keyboard. I've still been able to use it but the "b" key is ( Read more... ) -
Nugget
Carol asked me to look up where you could make custom buttons. I did and then told her where to go. She did not listen and then demanded that I repeat what had just said.
This we call a nugget. -
Inagural Game of Shiperio
From the Shiperio website:
Shiperio is a golf game that is played with cards. The object of the game is the same as it is on the course... to shoot the lowest score. Cards range from an Ace up to the dreaded Snowman (an 8). Play nine holes or eighteen, it's up to you. Whether you're a scratch golfer, a hacker or have never picked up a golf club you' ( Read more... ) -
I promise to never go friends only
I find people's "I'm going friends only" posts to be interesting. Someone started reading who shouldn't be seeing this or that. Trolls in the comments. Something like that is always the reason. I should make a compilation of them. I only have like 5 LJ friends so I could get a lot of them. -
If I Were Evil
I was thinking what it would be like to be an evil super villain the other day. What would my first act be, I thought. If I really wanted to eliminate good in the world what would I do? It's obvious that my first act would be to hatch a plot against Liz's family. I mean, come on, have you ever heard them talk about brownies? It's clear that "Good" ( Read more... ) -
Get Tested
During one of Carol's early appointments I was waiting for her to get a blood test and grabbed a pamphlet off a revolving rack for something to mindlessly read while I waited. To my horror it was something about STDs. It said something like 25% adults (maybe it was sexually active adults) have genital warts. Holy shit, kids, if that's true then I ( Read more... )
