When I first adopted my second dog at four months old, she was afraid of riding in the car. I confess to being very disappointed, because my first dog, Shasta, loved riding in the car, faced front, and would curl up and sleep on the front passenger street on long road trips. I've tried attaching a doggie seat belt in the backseat, no go, it terrified her, and treating her during car rides. She's improved in the sense she'll get into the car without struggling and sit up and look around when I slow or stop. She was returned by her first owner , the Atlanta Humane Society gives you 30 days to change your mind. I'm thinking she had a traumatic experience with her first owner. Any suggestions out there?
Total clown car this administration. Look we all want to work with someone we like but we do not want to go behind them constantly to fix their stupid mistakes. They only want to people willing to do the worst without giving a green goddamn that they can actually do the job. She’s just one more brick in that crumbling wall.
Hed: The case against Comey failed because of Trump's prosecutor. Who is she?
She's a pseudo-pretty nobody wanna-be; the next-in-a-nearly-infinite-line of sacrificial lambs in the current administration. She's practically an NPC, a has-been, a [to channel B.Bunny:] a marooon, a nin-cow-poop. Not a loser but a LOOOOOS-AHHH-ERRRRR!!
If you scrub off all the makeup and filler she's a 4 out of 10🙄
I am embarrassed to acknowledge that Miss Lindsey (not Graham) Halligan is a graduate of my law school, the U, a/k/a University of Miami, a/k/a Sun Tan U. Jesus weeps.
It’s absolutely exhausting having to be so aware, all the time, double and triple checking everything that malignant narcissists do, while they continue to deny the evil they are doing. It takes incredible energy, energy to deal with narcs and I wonder if that’s a narcs strategy to exhaust their prey, as cats do, playing with their prey before consuming its life energy. May people of good conscience seeking to stop Trump and his ilk be restored with more then enough feel good energy as this is going to be a long struggle.
Ach, that's a slur on cats. That "play" protects their eyes & face from the damage prey can inflict on the predator-- damage that could lead to a slow death from infection. Their murder mitts have to bring down the defenses before they can eat.
Rather like peaceful protesters embarrassing ICE agents huddled behind their bluffs, hoping that onlookers won't notice their fake warrants, false narratives, or dare to mock and block their kidnapping efforts.
Cats are honest.
By refusing to act like prey, the death of the fascist movement from slow attrition can be brought about, as you observe.
"In an interview with THR, Brady Corbet, the director behind “The Brutalist,” clarified some details about his next film.

I'm guessing not at all. There might be plans to shoot X/NC material, but what comes after negotiations for distribution? We shall see and Corbet's company will do their best to keep us talking right up to the moment...
Our phones at work are slammable but they are not like the old rotary phones which seemed unbreakable. I feel like I could shatter these modern ones if I use the force I want to.
We switched from the indestructible slammable handsets to these fancy things where you pushed a button to hang up and placed the handset on a cradle. I used to hurl the handset at the floor to satisfy the need to slam. It wasn’t the same.
Okay yous guys, fingers crossed that my mortgage closes today or tomorrow. The processor says they are reaching out to the bank for the payoff next, so I have some hope. I'd like to get it done by the 1st so I don't have to pay my ex-husband his $50 for December.
Working today and off tomorrow. This evening I head to the animal rehab. It's fun working there because the staff is so young and energetic. It's funny to see them play with the animals which they are not supposed to do. They are all very happy in their careers and seem satisfied. It's nice.
Morning all. Woke up far too early and am in the precarious headspace of feeling like I have all the time in the world to actually do something before work, but also sure that actually doing something will bite me in the tuchus when I inevitably lose track of time.
I HATE having chores before work. It stresses me out to be under pressure to finish something before I have to get to my desk. Back when I was a teacher, I almost always had all my planning and peroxide done the night before.
I keep waking up around 7pm, which is 4 hours before I leave for work. This gives me just enough time to get deeply into doing something, look up and go, "Oh, crap, is it that late already?!?" and run out the door to barely get to work on time.

This, theydies and gentlethems, is why I pay Wonkette the big* buckadingdongs every month, and some medium ones to Evan too.
(They are not big, or even really medium, except as compared to my budget mebbe. Love you guys, mean it).
Well, couldn't they arrange it for her to prosecute Mark Kelly?

I can hardly wait
He should name it Unforgiveable
This reads like he has a great publicist!
Is it getting that rating for violence or sex or both, I wonder?
The 4 hour length.
One could only hope.
I'm guessing not at all. There might be plans to shoot X/NC material, but what comes after negotiations for distribution? We shall see and Corbet's company will do their best to keep us talking right up to the moment...
A Morning KABOOM. 🇺🇦

Think of our brothers and sisters in Ukraine who also had fatal overnight kabooms on their apartment buildings.
Oh ... this is sooooo tempting ...

Rotary cell phone, but you can't slam the receiver down, so yours wins.
I have ALWAYS wanted one of these but I need Google Maps.
I need this!

Good luck.
All the money is digital, so it really doesn't make sense that it still takes this long.
It's all the checking they do. I don't have a complicated financial history, but they check everything.
Best of luck. This was the most tense time in our married life: waiting on the mortgage.
I've been approved on everything and gotten the appraisal. I'm just waiting to sign.
Make sure your hand is rested and flexible, because you're going to be doing a *lot* of signing.
Most places use Docusign for that now. It’s less satisfying somehow but also no writers cramp.
Why should Joe Biden get to have all the autopen fun?
We were tense until we signed everything ...
And now, walkies.

Morning all. Woke up far too early and am in the precarious headspace of feeling like I have all the time in the world to actually do something before work, but also sure that actually doing something will bite me in the tuchus when I inevitably lose track of time.
I never do anything before work. Before work belongs to me.
An excellent philosophy. I’m currently tempted to paint my nails or knit, but should probably pack something for lunch.
I HATE having chores before work. It stresses me out to be under pressure to finish something before I have to get to my desk. Back when I was a teacher, I almost always had all my planning and peroxide done the night before.
I keep waking up around 7pm, which is 4 hours before I leave for work. This gives me just enough time to get deeply into doing something, look up and go, "Oh, crap, is it that late already?!?" and run out the door to barely get to work on time.
My people!
Morning, Ophelia!
