    Ah, good. The old dog, who ate too much and vomited a few pieces back up, has cleaned up the mess before I could get to it. Not surprising, considering the pace at which I&amp;#39;m moving this morning. There are occasional mornings when I stop myself just short of dumping a teaspoon of salt into my tea (and yes, some days when I don&amp;#39;t catch it in time). That&amp;#39;s a good indicator of how the day will go. Today&amp;#39;s &amp;#39;first&amp;#39; - mug in hand, loaded with water to...

    Something that&amp;#39;s baffled me about using the Mastodon interface, in various apps/browsers: if there&amp;#39;s a post which is just a picture, with no initial comment/text, what TF do I do to see the responses or subsequent comments? Where do I click? Am I blind?

    One of those mornings... when every little thing catches my attention. Slimy film on the clear panels of the AirSeal pet door catches my eye, have to clean that NOW - and oh, one of the flexible plastic hinges is beginning to break... [AMAZING company, btw, every single part is easily replaced and can be ordered on their website https://www.idealpetproducts.com/air-seal-pet-door/] ... in the process noticing that the screen on the sink strainer has antique sludge embedded around the rim (it&am...

    RE: https://kolektiva.social/@Hex/116574851788219801 Oh YES. Hence the metastasizing load of time and aggravation every ordinary working person must cope with for every post-purchase customer service interaction, every effing day. We&amp;#39;re trapped in a cycle of purchasing affordable stuff (cheap crap) to make our busy lives tolerable, and then spending our spare time trying to straighten out the bills, instead of rioting - or even a serious boycott. One problem is, percentage-wise, it see...

    Almost 4 weeks into this cold &gt; sinus disaster &gt; cough &gt; hernia? expedition, I&#39;m beginning to fantasize about life after death; I&#39;m imagining a place where I&#39;m comfortably cushioned by thousands of unmatched socks, but things keep poking through the padding. Looking carefully, I realize it&#39;s all the missing objects, parts and pieces I lost track of over years of frantically straightening up for the house cleaners, vital bits put away for later in that special spot that...

    I feel bad for the guys who keep taking the fake Trump assassination jobs - no trump contact is worth the collectible edition TP it&amp;#39;s printed on, but they have to realize the hardest way possible that it&amp;#39;s literally a dead-end gig.

    Still recovering - way too slowly - from a cold followed by laryngitis and sinusitis, so too much time lying around (and discovering that I can&#39;t crossword for shit on cough syrup). Fediverse, look out. Apologies retroactively and in advance for stupid comments...

    Sorry, I&amp;#39;m making a nuisance of myself over here. I caught a cold from the grandsons...sick as a dog now (wait, do dogs even GET sinus infections? Maybe I&amp;#39;d be better off as a dog.. ) and have no appetite cuz no sense of smell, stomach&amp;#39;s upset (it&amp;#39;s pretty empty, and also, drowning in phlegm), falling behind on my water consumption and getting dehydrated, meanwhile my empty stomach is gurgling and bubbling like Yellowstone so I can&amp;#39;t even nap well! &amp;...

    Earlier this afternoon, Dear Hubby was frantically searching for his training kit bag. I was away last week, and came back to a certain amount of what I call &amp;quot;man-splaying&amp;quot; - miscellaneous crap spread out on every flat surface in sight. Also came back with a terrible cold and a head full of mud. So I had done some vague, unfocused straightening a few days ago, and I had a hazy memory of seeing the bag somewhere it ought not to be, moving it, and thinking I&amp;#39;d found a di...

    My husband says he&#39;s not worried about online privacy, as it&#39;s an illusion already. But I&#39;ve kept my post settings as &quot;quiet public&quot; since I got here, and I&#39;m basically invisible. I do have some followers, mostly gleaned from my comments on others&#39; posts or from people I found/follow who returned the courtesy (or curiosity); it&#39;s still pretty damned quiet. I post: not a ripple, not a drop. The pond is like glass. Maybe it&#39;s me. I&#39;ve toyed with switchin...

    RE: https://mastodon.scot/@IndyRichard/116342281781668005 For anyone who believes in higher powers...how? A &amp;quot;Just&amp;quot; God would blink these people out of existence.
