Tacticslion didn't favorite one of my jokes. Did he just miss it, or did it somehow offend him. Because all my other jokes have been so inoffensive.
Neither! I clicked on it, but Paizo blarged out on me. I have
mentioned that this happens...EDIT: Ah, yes, the classic English, "mnwtiojsd" - as everyone knows, it's originally ancient Polish for, "DANG IT, AUTOCORRECT, WHY DO YOU BOTHER CORRECTING THINGS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS?!"

Lithuanian, other Baltic language, or Finnish...

Definitely not Finnish. I suspect they're responsible for all the missing vowels in Welsh.

Wow... our little "parking war" is turning into a surreal battle of attrition...
It's June, meaning the poor Celica is about to be put through its once-a-year paces, first taking me to Yosemite for my 50th birthday, then Ashland for the annual family gathering. So I scheduled it for an oil change tomorrow.
Being an older car, this means going out and charging the battery and filling the tires today so that it can actually make it to the dealership.
So I went outside during my lunch break and started emptying the trunk, filling the tires, idling the engine, and otherwise getting it ready for actual movement...
...and one of the neighbors pulled into a legal parking space across the 25-foot wide street and sat there, idling, waiting for me to move the car so they could take my space!
I mean, seriously. WTF? You're going to wait in a legal parking space across a narrow street (if you park a car on either side it's a 1-lane street) just so you can take the space in front of someone else's house?!?!?!?
I took great delight in making them wait there idling for 5 minutes before they realized I wasn't going anywhere.
But anyone who's going to sit in front of your house for 5 minutes to take the parking space in front of your house has serious issues.
I'm glad we've worked out a way to keep the space eternally occupied with one of our cars. But seriously, WTF!??!!?!

Went clothes shopping today to replace the clothes ruined in the weekend's oil incident (I spilled a whole gallon of oil on the kitchen floor with me in the center of it.), as well as a few other items I've managed to ruin over the last couple months. Always a little horrified to see the total when I have to buy a bunch of clothes. Being a klutz ain't cheap. :/

Kidlet finally caught up on his missing homework, so I get a short break from Mean Mommy duty this afternoon and he got to go to jujitsu class. Afterwards it's back to Mean Mommy as he gets to do homework and not have any screen time for the rest of the evening. Things that haven't changed since the kidlet was little: punishments for him are also punishments for me. :(
And what have we learned? One) Kidlet cannot be trusted to tell the truth. He his his problems with turning in work for weeks before we cottoned on. Two) Kidlet requires an annoying level of micromanagement in order to function when it comes to schoolwork or chores. Three) We were getting overambitious in treating the kidlet like other kids his age, and have to roll things back to account for developmental delays. :(

Actual quote from my husband during the incident: "I've imagined this before, but the reality is really not as sexy as I imagined it." :P

that last can be devastating, truly devastating for everyone involved. I'm sorry, lynora.

So glad my side of the street became the fire lane side.
I'm so glad I live towards the back of a cul-de-sac on a nonsensical dead end street. The only time we get a lot of parkers is the end of winter when people realize they can't ticket cars for parking on the wrong side of the street as they don't adhere to typical street number layouts. "What do you mean the odd or even side of the street, they're all the odd or even side of the street!"
And that's just parking enforcement, you should see what it does to GPS and delivery drivers. :-)

Well, the really weird thing is that the west side of the street has 2-3 spaces per house, plus huge driveways, so there are always plenty of spaces. And you want to be facing that direction to get to the major shopping areas or the freeway.
Yet the east side of the street, with its 14' driveways (yes. Even our Prius sticks into the sidewalk) and single spaces per house, is coveted like nobody's business. So with our neighbor running essentially a commune to be able to afford her rent (anywhere from 3-7 adults live in a 1000-square-foot house, changing on a monthly basis), and every single person bringing their own car, it gets... ugly.

you forgot Men in Black.
Oh and harry potter
They both use memory erasure as an explanation. Probably best not to think too long about it, but it's an explanation. :)
Almost all modern fantasy is based on that premise.
One of the reasons I tend to prefer wholly-invented fantasy settings. ;)
There's even a whole RPG setting (WoD), that falls completely into that premise. The say that with the 5th edition they will fix that. We'll see
I thought WoD involves some sort of global charm which distorts memory and thinking to explain general cluelessness? Like even a dedicated conspiracy theorist who sees a werewolf will rationalize it as a bear and a trick of the light, or a disturbingly vivid daydream later. I thought someone told me that, but maybe I'm daydreaming things up.

Kind of a shitty week.
The kids are trying to injure themselves or each other (because its almost summer)
Pea Bear has a big trip coming up, assuming she helps out, thinks of Tiny T-Rex and doesn't cause trouble. Which I thought was pretty basic and she wouldn't have had anyway if she'd done even one of those things before getting scolded. But you know, you tell someone NOT to screw up and then they almost can't help screwing up.
And despite and overabundance of rain and sun (and money) the garden is doing terribly
And apparently people apologize so infrequently on the internet, my apologizing for saying something mean is one of my most favorite'd posts in days.
I dunno, can I get a do over.
Edit: And I burned the flap of skin between my thumb and finger on my left hand (my primary hand) and it's at the always burning sensation part but I'm already behind on the dishes and grocery shopping so i've been powering through the pain.

that's the delirium, and unique to werewolves and skinchangers. Higher levels of willpower mean you remember more and are able to keep it together when they are coated in blood and eager to eat you.
