I’m doing this with my dog. She is 14, lumpy as fuck, has Sundowners, had an aspiration pneumonia a few months ago, super stiff, on several meds, basically in very much the same position as your dog, where nothing is fatal at the moment, but her quality of life is impaired.

Hah, two of my exes got married (not to each other) on the same day, so I feel you. They’re both friends with me on FB, too, it was not a pleasant day even though I didn’t want to marry either of them. It was kind of “yeah, but they suck and they’re getting married, GO GET MORE CATS SO SOMETHING WILL DISPOSE OF YOUR…

Good thing: my old cat is grooming himself! This is a big damn deal and I am taking it as meaning that he is feeling much better, because ever since I adopted him, he has been a non-groomer and gets baths whenever I feel like I have too much blood inside my body and would like to let some of it out. Last week I caught…

I’ve been trying to break up with Mr. Signal, who won’t let me, because I’m feeling sick of being part-time. I’m 39, I’d like to have someone who cuddles with me every night and who puts Yoda ears on the cats before I do.

“Oh, and my unle doesn’t want a divorce OR to go to jail.”

I haven’t posted in ages because busy. But I’m stuck at home because the car I just bought a month ago (which sounds better than “the 23-year old car that was manufactured the year I went to high school and cost about half again as much as it should have but I bought it because reasons”) has a goofy belt problem and…

I have all your sick, then. :) I am often sick, as in serious gastrointestinal distress, after eating in restaurants (anecdotally, more than anyone else I know except the person with IBS). I think it’s due to cross contamination in fryers or something; it definitely trends up when I eat fried foods and there are a…

When I worked food service, this is exactly the logic for why we didn’t use gloves, as PunchTina and Waffles point out. And let me tell you, the feel of sauce on your hands is a big reminder to wash your hands, where with gloves on, I might as well be using those gloves they have in nuclear facilities or wearing a…

So, wait, if I’m reading this right, they guy who grabbed my ass on the street a few years ago was ALSO a cop, right? Cops are the only people who would grab someone, evidently.

My grandmother’s car did something like that after she died. It was an older car (maybe a Caddy or a Buick, something huge) with a locking gas cap, and my dad and aunt were going to drive it to Portland from Kelso (maybe 50 miles). They got about five miles and realized they needed gas, but they couldn’t get the cap…

It has sweet fuck all to do with the topic (though it was a white-knuckle drive for sure!) but earlier this year I passed a cop - he was coming onto I5 southbound through Seattle on a left-side on ramp and going about 55 mph. So I passed him at exactly 60 because my momma didn’t raise no dummies and also I was in the…

You know what, I’m a fucking moron who never pays attention to safety warnings, and when I started using Veet on my legs, because I should just not be allowed razors, I started using it on my pubic hair too. I’m careful about application, because I don’t want to get it IN the labia, and if it were to start hurting I’d…

I have cats that you could adore. :) But hip and small are not adjectives for my city, so I don’t think you’re close. But my patented go-to is always Meetup if your town has that, or Craigslist if not. I kind of feel like bars are too single-y to meet friends.

My dad and I tried using his drill press to put holes for rivets into corset bones, but it was a terrible failure. The press bends the steels too much and they don’t spring back, and the plastic melts, deforming the bones to the side, plus the backside has a rim of the punched-out metal that sits too high off the bone…

My brother preferred to cook with my mom, and I preferred to work with my dad on home or car repairs. Which is why I will someday starve to death. :)

THAT PICTURE OF NORMAN REEDUS OMG. so hot!

From Exciting Personal Experience, keep it to yourself unless you are 100% sure your boyfriend is cool with it (if you are not currently in a relationship I think it’s cool to bring it up early on, just, it seems to startle people when sexual attraction evolves) but (this is the personal experience part) don’t lie…

Ooh, I am really falling for Scandinavian murder mysteries - i’ll have to check that out!

Two of my exes (who don’t know each other at all) got married on the same weekend, so that was kind of a shit weekend for me.

Long time no see, Jezzies! I’m working on a costume prop for a steampunk persona that is awesome and also getting a bit weird (nail-striping tape apparently needs to go on wood painted to look like brass, thank you crazy brain). I had the funniest conversation at Home Depot today when I was showing my boyfriend the…
