Verbification is going to librarianize the language.

Where? I would love to know - I live in Seattle and am bored with I can find (especially, since Larry's closed). Just finding someplace that sells bulk Tibetan salt is an ordeal.

I am with you - people would always tell me that I don't know all the salt I am getting, it took me a long time to realize that they and I were on different food planets. I cook my own food; the only cans I open are tomato sauce/paste. I am not a particularly good cook but I like my cooking. I eat vegetables but not…

Shit - 14 years ago I gave my ex one measly share of KO with instructions on how to DRiP, now she has over a hundred shares each of about 5 different stocks, she maxes her 503b and Roth IRA and is buying herself a condo. Sigh, they grow up so fast.

Why don't you come up with a funny 'dongle' joke - be the first cuz no one else has.

The 'romantic' languages have gender: French, Italian, Spanish and so on; it's a thing. Most languages have their own 'thing'

I am starting to pack so the living room bookshelves are empty but here is the mess in the computer room/office. I used to work for Oxford University Press so I have some pretty interesting books (if you are into geeky stuff).

I have been keeping both my computers running all the time for BOINC - and because the Ex-Mrs Grumpy is no longer around to nag me about it.

What I did was re-think beads; I make glass beads and I was worrying about the diameter of hole. A layer of bead-release coats the mandrel made from different sizes of welding rod around which I drip hot glass (2200 F). Trying to think of how to reduce the diameter of the hole, I thought about working in the other…

I found some yoga timers on-line that might work in this case - they are at

I always google Einstürzende Neubauten then copy the 'ü' - I suppose I could learn to do it myself but this is the GoogleEra

This made me smile - I have 2 friends with transgender wives, one is proudly gay but strangers think he is straight the other is straight but strangers think he is gay. What a world we live in.

My ex was 14 years younger than me and she was explaining pop culture to me because she is a genius and I live in a world of isolated snippets of things that mostly don't relate to anything - er, I mean my world is composed of immense distractions occasionally broken by moments of complete tunnel-vision. or something.

<> - me or you?

I really like tequila and tonic with a double squeeze - kind of light and refreshing.

I was just listening to SuperTramp's Breakfast in America - there is just so much to love about them.

When I was young, stupid and living in Montana my apartment was in the basement of a house and it would get really cold down there; basements never warm up in the winter. This was during my wild years - I had recently been fired by the Marine Corps and discovered acid. Well, long story short a bunch of us were sitting…

I like him against my better judgement.

The ex-Mrs. Grumpy and I adopted a rescue kitty who did not like to be picked up or held though she would climb onto our labs and 'allow' us to pet her. She had other problems but we worked most of them out. She absolutely loved Greenies (a brand of kitty treat) so we used that as a reward tool. Whenever I picked her…
