I need to send this to my sister. She bought a house in Connecticut last year and has too many of them. I finally convinced her to keep the ticks she finds on her. She flushed the first one down the drain, after I told her not too. Now she bags and tags them and puts them in the freezer. But this may be a lot easier.

Same at Red Lobster this past weekend. No salads for the foreseeable future. (don’t judge, they have damn good biscuits!)

And here I thought the Post Office finances investigation was a distraction from Comey’s book. If it’s both, then Comey’s book must have tons of juicy details!

My first foray into cheesy goodness was at a Swiss restaurant in NYC (I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the place). It was traditional fondue, with the bread and the veggies, but I also ordered an addition of air-dried beef to dip. So freaking delicious! I’ve since visited The Melting Pot a number of…

I agree. We have a freezer that likes to overfill itself, setting off the “high level” alarm. Of course, the mute button doesn’t work, so someone (I haven’t found out who) has been shutting the power to the freezer off to stop the alarm. Pissed doesn’t even begin to describe my emotional state!

Coming here to post the same thing! I hate SurePost for the sheer fact that once it’s delivered to the post office, that’s the end of UPS’ or FedEx’s responsibility. Then, the post office can deliver it when ever they feel like it. I vaguely remember telling this to an Amazon rep when my item showed up late. Two day…

More like have someone do the emailing for him, so he can claim “plausible deniability” when the shit hits the fan.

Chop and throw in while cooking. But you have to use fresh, not dried.

I love thyme too. Have you ever had scrambled eggs with thyme? I had it at a bed and breakfast, and it was divine! Now I have a little thyme bush that I keep just for my eggs.

They are good with their own money. They never said they were good with other people’s money.

I’ll bite:

I think he was confusing the 1996 Australian massacre with the 1996 British school massacre. But, like the Australian response, the British responded by severely tightening gun laws.

I feel the need to highlight the fact that it’s 36% effective in PREVENTING the flu. Meaning that you have a 36% chance of not getting the flu at all. But that doesn’t take into account that the shot is extremely effective in making you less miserable if you actually do get the flu.

Makes sense. I guess Palmerston got tired of the quiet intrigue and decided to take matters into his own hands (paws?).

These are the most annoying types of books. And when the big showdown happens at the end and then the rest of the story is.... continued in the next book? I want to throw it across the room! I don’t, because I’m usually reading on my Kindle. The only times I will purchase/borrow the sequel is if I truly enjoyed…

I made one of my cats dizzy while playing “red dot” with him. I felt so bad, I held him for at least an hour apologizing to him, even though he was perfectly fine and I was laughing.

I hope they grill him beyond the 14 pre-approved yes-no questions that the House Intelligence Committee are “allowed” to ask.

Because socialism = communism. And we hate commies.

This is one of the reasons why I am still in my relatively low-paying job: I get great medical benefits that I don’t have to pay for. My biggest fear in leaving it for a higher-paying job is that the medical benefits would suck and I would actually be taking less home then I currently do. It’s comforting to know that…

Let’s not forget that he gives (gave?) his employees only two weeks paid vacation, but complained that even that was too much.
