Going to celebrate with hubby....I kinda promised something...uh..yeah, if he were to find a job this week. :P...wait...you're going to actually let him...do that? Just remember to bite your lip. :p
The things you miss sometimes....
Of course now we are getting phone calls and messages about other places that want to hire him....dude has his pick of like...4 jobs. Lets hope that the part time one is worth him taking, he really wants in on the ground floor of building something.If the others are offering full-time jobs, wouldn't the overall pay be more worthwhile? Of course, I don't know the whole picture ... but I do understand economics and subsistence 101. :D
Just because the pay would be better doesn't mean it would be a better job. Hubby wants something good, not another Best.

Did you not read further down where I said...No not that.
All you guys look out for one another. But that...that is not happening. There is nothing that I want that badly..nothing!Oh, but there is. There is...
Nope.....there isn't.
How is the morning going for all the FawtLies?
Sick Sick Sick of Fallout...I do wish I enjoyed video games. That way I could enjoy watching him play, or be more interested in what he was doing.

Thats good to hear. You sound much better than you have as of late. *hugs*
Unemployed, broke, and all kinds of other drama, yet my life doesn't exactly suck. Kinda digging that.
:)
More people need to be as laid back and optimistic as you. :D
Going to celebrate with hubby....I kinda promised something...uh..yeah, if he were to find a job this week. :PMake sure he lubes it up this time. According to Jenny, it hurts less.
"There's always time for lube!!!"
Ooo, pretty! Thanks, BT. Never saw anything like it.VirgaNeat. What's that actually look like?
Colorado Springs is considered "high desert". It's one of the only places I've ever been where you can actually see it raining and evaporating before it hits the ground.
You're quite welcome.
Like Moff said, it's a fairy common phenomenon around here, but I still get a kick out of it. I'm not sure whose Denver pic that was though.
We get rain like that a lot in AZ, especially during early monsoon when it's not strong enough storm systems to actually get into the heat island around Phoenix. It's like it's taunting us. "Nya nya still dry down there!"Ooo, pretty! Thanks, BT. Never saw anything like it.VirgaNeat. What's that actually look like?

lol!
*Sigh*
Nothing like getting blindsided to screw up a family dinner.
I show up to dinner tonight and start talking and suddenly the dinner conversation is about our money problems and how I'm talking a big pay cut for a few months because the company is hurting. I REALLY I hadn't intended to share with my grandparents and mother. And in particular not over a dinner in front of my cousin.
I REALLY wish my wife would occasionally show some discretion.
*shakefist*
Ouch!
WooT!! New Warehouse 13 on Hulu!! Awesome!!!!

Thanks for the link. (I didn't realize there was a name for it.)
It didn't happen last night though. (Thought our house was going to float down the street from all the rain.)

They're very intelligent, personable, and pretty fun. My roommate in Dallas had one, and it may have been the coolest pet I've met.
Now, they get big and eat a ton , so they can get expensive, and they're strong, be careful to pig proof the house.
Ghoul Fever...
I'm afraid this is going to be one of those terribly alone times, but if anybody else remembers "Gold Fever" from Paint Your Wagon, I find myself wanting to sing:
GHOUL... FEEV-ER!
CH: Heading over to FB to see.
Installed a spyware/ad blocker for Firefox yesterday. Having to adjust the settings for all the sites I visit regularly such as here, else it bungles up the scripts.
Still, better than seeing Clicksor ads all over the place.

Long ago, I was asked to pet sit a potbellied pig named Betsy in my apartment for three weeks. It was disastrously overfed and weighed near fifty pounds. The moment the lady left, the pig charged me as I tied my shoes and knocked me over, then bit my hand and tried to keep biting, eyes rolled white like a feasting shark. I leapt atop my bed and grabbed (wait for it)... a piggy bank... an actual ceramic pig, holding it aloft with a crazed look on my face like something out of Quest for Fire. Luckily there was chow nearby. I lured Betsy into her cage, leashed her, then walked her to the my car and my girlfriend drove to Betsy's vet, where that PIG was going to do three weeks of hard time in boarding. I was plying the monster with food the entire time, but between bags it head butted the drivers seat.
"Get control of that @#$%!"
"I'm running out of food!"
So we pull into the vet hospital parking lot and not five feet from my car the pig takes a liquisploot that pools all around like head wound blood at a murder scene. I mean like seven or eightfeet in diameter. Just then a women stares at the pig enchanted and says, "I always wanted one of those." Crazy non sequitur to the reality I was enduring. You really want a pig after seeing two horrified kids pulling a four legged troll with the ability to fertilize and entire parking lot in one squirt? When we got inside, same deal. Everyone loves Betsy. When I explained to the vet assistants what happened they gave me a look as if this incident somehow proved I was a lightweight in the field of animal care because wasn't Betsy Wetsy just such a cute lil porky pwincess. I'd like to see them see what happens when mama abandons her in their tiny apartment.
I never understood the allure of pets like that. Dogs are friendly, loyal, and good protectors. Cats are at times affectionate and playful. Birds are generally nice to look at and pleasant to hear. Fish also pretty to watch. Snakes and insects/arachnids have an exotic flair to them, though I can't imagine many people wanting to take them out of their cages much.
But a pig? As a pet rather than as stock? I don't see the attraction.

Very, my friend's weighed almost 200 pounds. Very, they'll pull a full grown man off his feet if they try. And, they eat a LOT. And they'll eat anything.
@Rone: Sounds like your friend didn't train her. Potbellies can learn tricks and obedience better than a doberman if the owner knows that they're doing. My friend's pig was well behaved, but even she would get aggressive at times, especially towards human females.
*rolleyes @FHDM*
In other news... Seems something in our lake blew up. >_>

Be thankful for small things -- at least the pig didn't "liquisploot" in your car...

Yikes.
When our cats die, I'm done with animals. (And I'm considering speeding up the natural process...)
I can understand the sentiment. We're currently taking a break from pet ownership. All of our cats died (of old age) and we had to find a new home for the dogs because of my allergies. In some ways its nice not having to worry about it. But sometimes I really miss having a cat to cuddle with. Oh, and the kidlet is banned from having his own pets for a couple of years. I've dealt with enough dead fish and frogs now thanks. No more. He can have a pet when he's actually old enough to take care of it. Which in his case may be never. His impulse control issues can be a real problem in that arena. I also refuse to have any more pet bunnies or hamsters cause I always have to deal with the body after. Yech.
ROTFL!!!!!!!Man. What a story!!!!
liquisploot...
That it is. And so much funnier to tell now than it was to endure that day.
And as Moff says, we were indeed thankful that the dam didn't bust until we exited the Chevy. If it had, I seriously would have sold that car by the end of the week. I would've taken a broken toaster in trade.
Pig Stuff...One word:
Bacon.
Hmmmm Bacon.
And to think I stopped eating pork at age eight because I saw and then read Charlotte's Web. Why it was my misplaced love for cartoon realized pigs that probably ushered me into my present vegetarian status (That and Planet of the Apes... long story). Just think, a formative early experience with a surly hog or a scat frisbeeing chimp and I might have become a different fellow altogether.

I can deal with cats as they are generally low maintenance. My big gripe about pets is they make it tough to wander off for the weekend, or a week.
Unfortunately my wife loves the critters and we have 11 chickens and would likely have more if she could talk me into building more stuffs. We made a deal when she got them I wouldn't help her with caring for them/ building stuff for them, etc but I wind up taking care of them entirely too often.

There are few feelings quite like waking up in the morning, getting out of bed and the very first step you take is right on a nice, juicy, wet hairball. Or worse, half-eaten food.
Cats are generally low maintenance, but I'll be happy to be done with cat hair, vomit, hairballs, dust, cat boxes, vet bills, etc. I'd like our cats to be outdoor cats, but our family has regularly "lost" cats in the month of October here.
Awright folks, its time for this DM to shake a bicycle tire- I've got to get into manhattan to the FNSLGS and stop by HQ for the second job to pick up stuff, then come back home to drop off the bike and perhaps shower, and then BACK into manhattan to work. The shift is from 10 PM to 1 PM tonight, which would normally be merciful except that I have to go into manhattan and come back before starting the shift. Fortunately I have my bike available to me this time....
EDIT- LOVE cats, btw...
