Brandy Old Fashioned *Sweet - FTFY.

I know what you meant, but my brain insisted that you have gun violence, but the guns are teeny tiny.

Fuck. Just that. Fuck.

Take a day trip (well, not for you - for us in Milwaukee) and check out the New Glarus brewery. Skip eating at the Glarner Stube or just don't order what we did.

I've also recently heard "Mondays."

I adopted my dog from the Ozaukee Campus last November, and his shelter name was...Jay >.<

Vaguna Matata - the TRUE circle of life (or more like an oval, but still)

But are you wearing your fighting trousers?

I imagine the Germans have a word for it and it's 23 letters long.

Wait, what? The fucking SECURITY GUARD? That guy needs to be reported and removed ASAP. I'm very glad you got away unscathed, but lets not assume the next one won't be.

I have a cousin from Minnesota who moved his family to Australia. His sister put ketchup on everything, including Thanksgiving turkey. They're not from Alberta/Chokio, by any chance?

So SO much Taco Bell could be doing to make actual Mexicalmost breakfast, but instead just makes reconfigured fast food breakfast. Wasted opportunity is sad-making.

My husband and I came to our relationship with dogs that were the same age. I lost my Rottie at age 12, his chocolab went the following summer. Sadie was VERY confused and lost when we put Cody down and seemed inconsolable - until I gave her a bone filled with peanut butter. Never another thought to the ol' fella :p

On Monday, I'm going back to the therapist I used to see 20-ish years ago - I'm amazed she's still practicing, but since she was treating my entire family at the time, maybe she's been just coasting on the income. Here's to getting healthy!

Bully sticks are the one treat I won't indulge in for my pup. I didn't know what they were the first time I gave him one, but I was sitting at my desk working (reading Jez) and was suddenly "WTF reeks of piss and...I don't even know what?" So yeah, not a fan.

It is.

My favorite summary of the overall situation was this by Chris Plante on the Polygon:

I've done this and it still won't turn off even after reboot. Sometimes it opens a slider and sometimes it doesn't, and now when it does open a slider, it's just the headline and a "open in new tab" button. I need a replacement ASAP because this is driving me mad.

I just FB unfriended my only black friend because his hyper-conservative screeds hurt my teeth. That, and he criticized me for occasionally eating foods that were clearly not meat.

This is where I was also thinking it would head - eventually, I'll have to get into a buyer's club for red wine and dark chocolate.
