very unfortunate exploding goat scene

Sorry Flake, I laughed right out loud.      I wasn't expecting that.

When I was watching the movie I got to that bit and said, (outloud) "Oh f'k, Deejer's ain't going to like this.."

Where can i view it, Netflix, hulu? Amazon? Disney channel?

Wait, did i tell you i did an alcohol taste test while here with dogs? 

Rum, bourbon (which is whiskey, i didn’t realize Bourbon was a whiskey) and then some other whiskey that had honey in it.

i want to taste scotch, but they don’t have any. And all the sparkle donkey tequila flavors are gone.

How big are these 'tasters'...?
Girl, you're not getting drunk with the dogs are you? 😄

What am I doing today?  Sweet F all. I'm still in my p'jama's at a quarter to three in the afternoon.
Watched a little Netflix, ignored the ice-cream truck and got some out of the freezer for the kid and I.
Yesterday was busy, today I am making up for it by doing double nothing.
I may pay for this later, but for now it's worth it.

....I love the mailbox "transactions" Deej....those small and loving gestures are what keep from giving up on humankind entirely....

I also made them jello. bwhahaha!  One kid likes cherry and the other lime (who in the heck likes lime jello?). Anyway, I made them each their own surprise.  I didn't have any super cute molds or anything, but I knew a simple thing like jello would tickle them.  

I write them letters and send cards to them in the actual mail too. 

Remember when you were a kid and you got mail and how excited you were?

When I was a kid? Heck - I STILL get excited if I get a personal letter or a package in the mail

*Guess I should keep on topic - today I read a bit (a book called The Trespasser by Tana French) and now I am rendering off the fat from some pork chops.

Andy didn't realize I had thawed out some chops so he proceeded to start on some pulled pork. It's actually a good thing since I would rather do the chops in the slow cooker anyway.

Now I just have to find a good slow cooker recipe but I will be sure to brown them well first.

Girl, you're not getting drunk with the dogs are you? 😄

No, not drunk. I poured them in a clean teaspoon tor each and poured most of that back in their bottles .  Licked the spoons. That stuff is just so caustic!!! Bleecccch!

Sitting in the car having a cuppa, been a very dull morning 🙄

You would make a very cheap date. And I mean this is the nicest possible way.

Well this won't do...

Let me just share a couple jokes with you... ummm [thinking]

"To the person that stole my spectacles, I will find you. I have contacts."

"To the person that stole my antidepressants, I hope you're happy now."

   I'm looking to buy a new (used) car today that I am in love with.  The problem is that I don't know how to negotiate with a dealership and hope I don't get burned.

Good luck today, N.N.. I'm sorry I'll be zero help, I could not negotiate my way out of a paper bag. Let us know how you do.  

Notaro

I guess it will depend on your circumstances, are you trading in another car as part payment, are you a cash buyer, you have the advantage as everywhere is struggling, they need your money, even if they won't budge on price try to get small extras, car mats, or seat covers, and a full tank of gas, they will expect you to look for something, it's part of the job. 

not_nadine

I'll be paying cash and hoping that gets the price down!

Notaro

Well that's you open gambit, I'm a cash buyer, what's the best price you'll give it to me, and see what he says. Don't be afraid to walk away either.

Hi everyone,

Scott's test came back positive. We figured, given he had symptoms starting Fri night. He is doing pretty good. OTC stuff is sufficient. 

It hit me like a freight train Sat night too. I was fine and then I had 102.9 fever. Got it down but it keeps returning. Not as high...last night it was 100.9. I also have the terrible body aches. I did have some chest congestion and cough but those things are getting better. OTC stuff is helping me, too. 

Since it was the weekend, I imagine public health will be calling today about Scott's test. I am keeping the kids home. I think that is what I'm supposed to do. 

Scott must have come home Monday (the day he was exposed) and given me a direct virus present. Otherwise the timeline does not work. But, the email with test results said to contact anyone you had been in contact with the previous 48 hrs from onset of symptoms and I haven't been out since last Wed. So just my kids. 

Anyway. Doing ok. It is miserable but medicine does give relief. I think we'll both be ok. 

Big hugs to everyone. 

Notaro

OK Cat, that's not the news you wanted to hear but you seem to have things under control, just keep doing what you're doing and you will all get through it. Sending healing vibes, for you and Scott and family. 

spideyman

Healing vibes,@cat.  Quick recovery for all.

Oh and just another quick update, coworker has had a hard time. He is doing ok, but it has definitely been harder on him than us. And, we know at least one other coworker tested positive and is sick.

Wow - he gave you a "direct virus present" - tell him diamond earrings would have been a better present!

But seriously I am sorry to hear about this - stay strong - you'll get through this - sending you big hugs and saying a prayer for you cat
