I don't think caffeine or chocolate are good for kitties.

Mindful of his size (16 lb doggo) I used to give my little buddy a few chocolate chips whenever I would have them. He lived to 17. He died before I learned chocolate wasn’t good for dogs.

With the flashmob instances of Fairytale of New York, I do find it astonishing how many people in the audience know the lyrics.

Those happy moments when one realizes one is smarter than one looks.

Also, possibly unrelated, Jax has figured out that a ping-pong ball will fit in his mouth.

After much research, I've decided that I like Brandi Carlisle's cover of Fairytale of New York the most. Though I do love a lot of the flashmob versions as well.

Bear: PROTECT THE AMERICUB's avatar

Post-delivery Bear took a Benadryl to hasten sleep. "Pit Bulls and Parolees" was on. An adoptive family came in with their current Boston terriers to check compatibility... and my brain instantly decided the more bug-eyed one was "the canine equivalent of the 1968 CBS logo."

Not entirely sure I want to know what my brain would be like on TWO of those.

I took a benadryl in the middle of the day for some reason when I was 18 and it made me feel like the dumbest person on the planet until I fell asleep 30 minutes later.

OK, I’m scaring myself. The next big project is re-organizing the wall of books in the dining room. Which means taking them all off the shelf, and hopefully figuring out a way to reposition the shelf so I can put an aquarium on the bottom level, so the cats can enjoy. And and so I can enjoy. Also inventorying and categorizing and sorting the books.

It’s that moment when you’re standing at the bottom of a mountain, looking up, wondering what the actual fuck you were thinking.

ETA. I might actually be able to make this work.

It always irritated me he was promoted as The Star of SNL and the true talent was treated like And The Rest from Gilligan's Island.

He let it go to his head, which tells you something. I thought he was funny, but that was a long time ago. He is irredeemable IMO.

It was NBC's idea the show NEEDED a Star and for whatever reason they chose him. I thought they were all funny except Garrett Morris but he got shit lines so I don't blame him.
