That is an awesome image you paint of simultaneously spritzing and preening yourself while vacuuming near by. LOL! I don't have a vacuum but I do understand that parrots will automatically want to try something you seem to be having fun doing. The idea of a coin in the bowl is really good, and I'll try it.

I'm sure Greta does not appreciate us snarking on her face, but she is going to try and keep a stiff upper lip about it.

Do pigs need baths? My parrot doesn't bathe as much as she should for good feather health so I have to bathe her which makes her hate me for a few minutes. I always feel so bad, but have to remind myself that sometimes humans have to piss off their companion animals for their own good.

I own a house that I rent out. I don't need that much space and so I rent an apartment in a neighborhood I like better. The rent I pay is less then the rent I collect and so it is a good revenue stream in the present and a nice investment for the future. I can move if the mood strikes or if my rent goes up too…

I hear you in regards to people being casually culturally insensitive. I have experienced it many times and wanted to throw up my hands and say "Fuck this, I'm OUT!" in real life and on the interwebs.

My town went ape-shit when we got a KMart. I mean like front page, plan your weekend around it, old ladies waiting outside at five in the morning in their good hats, kind of apeshit. An Olive Garden would be just an embarrassment of riches.

If Grand Forks were 'famous' for their Beak Sandwiches (you know, chicken sandwiches but with no meat only boiled chicken beaks) Andrew Zimmerman would be camped out there to eat a beak and NY food bloggers would wax rhapsodic about beak meat. Meanwhile, all the locals who have had enough beak meat growing up might…

I actually get this disgusting reference. I am torn between thinking "you are exactly right" and "gawd, now I need a shower!".

Replying to promote.

Part of it must be a powertrip. Gawd, I am so important people are climbing over themselves to work for me for free... or for my clothes! You should pay your workers. You want to be a great designer and a good human being.

Mantyhose is an awesome word. Can you imagine having to say it with a straight face? LOL

It is sweet and melancholy and delicate. Very refreshing during this trend of belting and faux-kittenish screeching.

Questioning his sexuality is seems pretty normal to me and not a reason to run. Saying he is not in love with you is a dealbreaker.

I went to a big private collage also in a large city for two years right out of high-school. I also got a ton of grant and loan money. I dropped out after Sophomore year, then went back to a state school a number of years later. My debt for those two year equaled the entire debut I accrued for my actual four year…

Goodbye, middle-class.

When you scroll through the tweets it looks like Liz Winsted is calling LeVar Burton a Big ole Slut.

I really snoorffled very hard at the Kanye convo.

No, Patty, you don't look like that. I don't even know who you are but I know humans don't look like that.

"Girls are only attracted to assholes, waaaahhhhhh!"

This week's episode. And I thought Milan was FANTASTIC but she got eviscerated for her look.
