It's cozy in the pied-à-nuage, the split peas are soaking for tomorrow's adventures in soup, we've had our pumpkin pie, and I'm going to join my adorable and adored husband between the flannel sheets. Good night, beloved Wonketteers. I love and appreciate you all and I bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace. Be kind, especially to yourself and please stay safe.

I couldn't post this last night because of Substack maintenance, but it's still here so here goes.
A bit of my current story in progress, scheduled to be posted on New Year's Eve.
_____________________________
'Fuck My Life' segued into 'Pie Filling' by Ryan’s Birthday, and the trio hit the dance floor to join a mass of furs in a chaotic mix of bumping and grinding. Lily seesawed between her two lovers, rubbing her breasts against Ruby’s while grinding her ass against Slim’s crotch amid the writhing mass of bodies. Stray paws were everywhere as the song spoke obliquely of a fur’s prowess in his baking.
At least, that’s what the lyrics claimed when they referred to “cream pies,” according to the band’s songwriter.
'Pie Filling' went off, and in the brief silence before the next song in Cindy’s playlist started ears perked as someone shouted from the orgy room, “C’mon! You can fuck me harder th – YES!” The resulting laughter almost drowned out the opening bars of Manic Piano Asshat’s 'Stop My Heart.' A slower song than the previous one, it encouraged the dancers to get closer and more provocative in their motions.
OK, good to know. I'm not "troubled" by the post. I just prefer to read incisive or witty comments here. Back in the day, Wonkette was primarily a politically liberal website, not a forum for people advertising their new, not-very-good fiction.
My down stairs neighbor doesn't work, but he goes somewhere every morning at the stroke of 5:30. Any speculation about where he goes? I think either dialysis or methadone, but are those things open this early? And dialysis isn't every day, is it?
Perhaps he's religious and is in the habit of making his devotions every AM.
I used to know a few people who got up and went to mass EVERY morning. But I also knew of individuals who maintained a similar constant daily vigil just sitting in a local iconic donut shop.
Then it sounds as if he's a regular at a local drinking establishment. I had regulars who came in every morning and sat at the bar virtually ALL day long.
Their lives revolved around holding down a barstool all day.
A quick peruse of the hellscape formally known as Twitter tells me that in the UK the two right wing political parties are attacking each other and in the US different factions of Trump acolytes are attacking each other. Personally, I'm attacking a cheeseboard. Merry Christmas!
Well, my little dog who has trouble seeing in the dark got himself a new set of stairs last night and he is just thrilled! I showed him how to use them three times and he ran all around the bed with excitement each time, then during the night, he did NOT tap tap tap all around the edge of the bed for me to pick him up, he climbed his stairs and got right back in the bed. Pets are such pains in the ass.
You mean the man who destroyed an operating business, blows up rockets, and has declining car sales ISN'T the best man for the job? Who would have imagined?!
I sort of napped a bit so I can say that I slept. I'm just glad I finally got paul to put down the adult beverage and finally get himself to bed. It's not good for him to be up all night bending his elbow and staring into the monitor.
Welp, another thing is that, if I have a question about a product, I don't have to carve out a portion of my day to make a disproportionately frustrating phone call to Obscene Megalith Inc. for wrong or incomplete answers...
"As an obscenely wealthy person and an egomaniac star of my own show, I may 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 get the urge for strawberries in Paris, via Wanchai and Buenos Aires. But it's nice to know that if I 𝘥𝘰..."
I'm just trying to imagine how much it costs to maintain one of those when it's not in the air. Just renting the hanger alone must cost a small fortune.
Huh. My insurer just refunded me 80 bucks in two checks (got the mail before breakfast). Wild. Looks like they slightly over-charged for diagnostics on the bigger one, and accidentally had my doctor charge me for my recent flu test on the smaller one (which I just paid, it was 7 bucks).

Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony.”

Happy Friyay and payday!
Mine is next Friday. I will also get a share of tips from customers over the holiday shopping season.
Off to see family today 170 miles away..It's snowing on the passes I have to navigate but I have snow tires on a Subaru.

Coffee shop. That can be a social hub. I used to do that on days off, just hang out with friends.
That seems early, and I think you're right about dialysis. (Didn't bin Laden need that?)
Maybe he hangs out at a local diner. The diners I visit all have morning regulars (I try to keep it down to 1 or 2 times a week, myself).
Perhaps he's religious and is in the habit of making his devotions every AM.
I used to know a few people who got up and went to mass EVERY morning. But I also knew of individuals who maintained a similar constant daily vigil just sitting in a local iconic donut shop.
Doubtful, dude's a serious drinker. Sometimes the family yells at him he's too drunk to drive when he leaves.

I miss those aches in my ass, when I don't feel 'em...
Same.
But they're adorable at times.
More often than not.

I look at all your posts! There's lots of cute stuff!
Yeah, I admit it.
I sort of napped a bit so I can say that I slept. I'm just glad I finally got paul to put down the adult beverage and finally get himself to bed. It's not good for him to be up all night bending his elbow and staring into the monitor.

Capitalism continues to thrive while some greedheads piss, whine and moan anyway.
Same as it ever was.
Y'know, it might be good that they aren't building new retail space as fast as they can...
though driving around south FL, it is looking like they have their foot back on the gas.
.
I'm betting retail is going to be overbuilt again in a couple years.
All of the PUDs will go the way off malls in my life time, I expect.

The absolute best part of the holidays this year was ordering online and picking up. No shopping at all in stores, just grab and go.
I bought one gift for ms in a brick-and-mortar store..
The big "gift" (the new cooktop) was bought at the local appliance store.. so the vast majority of my holiday spending was "shop local"..
though putting that in the 'gift' category is somewhat suspect..

I've never been much of a diver, anyway.
Huh. My insurer just refunded me 80 bucks in two checks (got the mail before breakfast). Wild. Looks like they slightly over-charged for diagnostics on the bigger one, and accidentally had my doctor charge me for my recent flu test on the smaller one (which I just paid, it was 7 bucks).
I just got $100 back from a doctor's office. Not gonna complain.
