The plea deal in exchange for leniency is how Nixon’s VP, Spiro Agnew, was forced out of office. He left as a convicted felon, but the deal was that if he resigned and pleaded guilty, nothing else would happen to him. 

I should ask my parents if they ever bought snow tires. I was born in Chicago but I was down south way before driving age. Now I don’t have the proper warm blood to manage the cold of a norther or midwestern winter, I’m afraid. My husband, on the other hand, would be super happy to live somewhere a lot colder.

Here’s a question I’ve always had for people who live in snow tire conditions: Where do you store the tires you aren’t using? I know a fair amount of people have garages and storage sheds, but what about people who live in condos or apartments, or even houses that don’t have garages? I’ve always wondered that. Do you…

I have to be really careful with vitamin pills. Between the citrus and the food colorings often in them, I can’t take a lot of them. My current pill has ascorbic acid, yes. I think the first time I saw bioflavinoids I side-eyed so hard. 

This is good info. Thankfully I do not have to avoid citric acid, which would be a nightmare. That stuff is in everything. (Also, being allergic to citrus means all your friends read labels with “citric acid” in them and freak out on your behalf.) I suppose all I can really do is try something with LAA. I wonder if I…

That sounds nice, but I’m allergic to citrus. Are any of these Vitamin C based lotions and serums made without citrus? I haven’t found one yet. : /

That was a good episode of a good podcast.

I really feel like the whole election should be redone, considering all the problems. Redone, and overseen by some outside regulator and not anyone who has a horse in the race. 

I’m terrified of BMW just up and taking their shit and going home. I remember visiting the plant in high school when it first opened and being wowed. My brother still lives in Greenville, and his wife works at that plant. A lot of people work at that plant. B=If the trade war fucks over the plant, then Greenvile…

We have two cats, and my current cats are murder machines. Well... one is. The other might be too fat to murder anyone. So my current mischief doesn’t get floor time, just outside time on the bed with the door closed and lots of shoulder time. I’ve had a few rats who were given the run of the house during floor time,…

That happened in our state. NC elected Cooper as governor in 2016, ousting the republican shithole McCory, and he refused to concede the vote for MONTHS. It was a ridiculous, whiny, stupid, childish tantrum. He kept demanding recounts. It wasn’t even that close of a race, once all the absentee and provisional ballots…

I keep pet rats and I have that problem when I have to kill rats or any sort of rat monster in games, or watch that ind of thing in movies. It doesn’t help that in movies all the little trained rattie actors are obviously just pet rats who have been rubbed with some water and stage dirt, if anything at all. People…

This is exactly how my last kitty, Tree, passed. She was never a fat cat, always thin, but she started getting real skinny. But after she went on the thyroid meds, they made her nauseous and she wouldn’t eat, and then her kidneys just went haywire. It was awful. 

My first car was covered in bumper stickers, but the one that got me pulled over so the cop could read it was “Do auto-paranoiac, schizophrenic, agnostic, dyslexic, insomniacs like awake at night wondering if they might be the dog that’s out to get them.”

That would have been way more interesting. We changed our frameshop name to Aaron Brothers a few months after they added the collection, so they had to redo all the standees. Not really sure what happened to the old one, tho. We get a LOT of dumpster divers and maybe some creepy lady in a Mercedes (all of our dumpster…

Almost as tall. This is actually the second standee, the first one was taller and creeper, tbh. 

Could be worse. I work at Micheals in the frame shop and one of our collections of custom moldings is by them and that means I have a lifesized cardboard cutout of them haunting my every step as I work. Their eyes follow my every movement. Their perfectly pressed chambray shirts cast a sickly blue light over my…

Good lord, I want this. But that is a hefty price tag. Might be worth it, since I’m growing my hair out. Christmas present, maybe? 

Teal really was the 1993 color. my 1993 LeBaron was teal. Yeah I know, but it was my dad’s car first, and for a girl’s first car was not terrible. But 1993 and teal...  There was an old dude at my church who ALSO had a teal LeBaron sedan. I would accidentally walk over to that car until mine became mine, and then I…
