Yes, but can you do a camper conversion out of it?  “VanLife™”

I found out a year after my Dad had died that my brother had been systematically stealing from my Mom for at least that amount of time. It isn’t on the same level since they’re not rich, but $16k of provable stolen funds is a lot of money to a retiree on a fixed income. It was in small amounts like automatic refilling

This is why inheritance taxes are hurting our families!

Beat me to it.

Interesting to bring up Cruella, a movie I enjoyed considerably more than Black Widow. I think it was better made, better written, and on the whole better acted (with the exception of Florence Pugh, who to me right now can do no wrong.)  That, and having “The Two Emmas” chewing scenery at each other was (chef’s kiss)

My mistake.

I figure the more crazies they put up as candidates the more sane the Democrats look. Not that it’ll change any of the Trump base’s minds, but they aren’t really who got him into office in the first place. It was the apathetic and the “sure why not?” votes that got him there. The ones that hated Hillary more than they

I’ve watched a few of Nandi’s covers, but to me Yoyoka is way more effortless. Her fills are better too. Watching her right foot on the bass peddle is like watching a Tool video sometimes. Fast! Then the other day I was watching her on something (don’t remember which one to be honest) when she was inserting a Purdie

Aye, it is. Although I think I like Making Movies or Communiqué better. And you can’t go wrong with the self-titled Dire Straights.  

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll be seeing my doctor fairly soon, I think. It would be sooner if I didn’t have to deal with my Mom’s medical issues on a weekly basis, and balance that with work.

Now playing

I just realized this was all 20+ years ago! Anyway, here’s a good place to start. I wish I could link to the live version which is absolutely amazing, but the album version isn’t bad.

Oh jeeze. When I lived up in the Columbia River Gorge there were lots of turkey vultures. The things are bloody huge! They’d roost up in the trees by the river where I’d go to walk. Intimidating. But they’re migratory and would disappear in the fall.

That could really be interesting! Ariel is the one part that has always been a bit gender fluid. Sometimes played as feminine, other times played as masculine. Caliban is almost always masculine though. That would be a really interesting gender swap to play with!

Yeah, I’m on Metformin 1000mg 2x daily, and Glipizide 10mg 2x daily. Short of me magically losing 25 pounds I don’t see much option other than starting Humalin soon. (That’s the insulin my Mom takes.)  Some extra exercise would probably help, but my feet hurt so bad these days from the peripheral neuropathy that’s

He’s not a jerk, because I’m a jerk and he’s never at any of the meetings.

Also my favorite comment on a Yoyoka performance:

Moral courage is a tear jerker.

My neighbor does pet sitting for a couple who are avid travelers. Earlier this week she invited me over to their house (with permission) to meet their cat. (She texted me “Do you want some pussy tonight?” I knew she didn’t mean the other kind because she’s a lesbian.)  Not as snuggly as advertised, but still pretty

How did they cast Miranda? A woman or a man? That might make a difference in how you stylize your performance, because a Mother/Daughter dynamic is very different from a Mother/Son dynamic, which itself is very different from a Father/Son dynamic or the traditional Father/Daughter role.
