I've been running an experiment on the dog

She has maybe 5 little bags of treats we cycle through and I noticed she'd get real excited over one of them, so I decided to track, if given a choice between two, which she would pick, which eventually should give me a ranked list of her preferences

I am trying to work through all the iterations, mixing up what is in each hand when I offer so she doesn't just associate "left hand good treat" or something

I hold out a bag in each hand and I taught her to tap on the bag with her paw (it's like her high five motion) to tell me which treat she wants. She learned this fast and I'm notating times when she really enthusiastically high fives the bag she wants, like strong pref

So far nothing surprising but I've only collected maybe 20 samples. Gonna give it a lot more time, making sure I do all the permutations in both hands or as close as I can get before I burn out lol

She shows a strong preference for these banana biscuit things but the little jerky sticks are a strong contender

There's a certain paradox with this thread title I would like to address

if I am a lurker, I have to post; but in doing so, I lose the mandate to have to post any longer, as I am no longer a lurker. A lack of posting qualifies someone as a lurker, so we find ourselves back at square 1.

I woke up feeling hung over, so I slept for like 3 hours this morning. Then I woke up, got lunch, and realized I felt perfectly fine.

This vaccine is like illness tourism. I felt lousy for exactly 12 hours, and not a minute longer.

Which means I get half a day off on sick leave and I feel fine!

In other news I'm a little perplexed by my neighbors sticker.



The image isn't great, I'm aware. It says "I smoked today" and I'm sure it is supposed to be a sort of booyah, a "I slayed/kicked today's rear end," what have you. But I always read it as like, "I smoked (cigarettes, et al) today," and the box with the checkmark to the left of the text just makes the second option make more sense to me. I think about it every time I end up parking behind them.

No this is absolutely "I smoked weed today" and that's what makes it funny

M is currently getting an MRI, it's not great. Papilledema but we'll know why after the MRI. I'm pissed, he's been here all day and nobody saw him until I raised hell.

Heather Papps I saw a big horse statue near me at a feed store, and it had this outfit on which was all black with a skeleton painted on it, making the horse look like your av, and I thought of you

I didn't get a picture because I was driving and trying to obey safe phone habits in the car, but I saw that horse, I made the connection, thought "Heather Papps..." and then took the corner to go to the store

He should. I'm real fuckin mad, like Legendary Hamjobs Level of Mad, and it takes almost every boneless part of my body to get mad these days, so.

The skeleton remains enraged at all times, naturally.

I'm sure I misheard but today at the store there was a guy who sounded like he was just saying "grundle" over and over.

this makes sense, to me. when i was gifted the album punisher during secret santa i had a weird response.

sometimes when i'm in a bad mood i make cartoonish bad mood sounds, to make my mood better. it's possible this is what was happening. or he was very concerned with a perineum, which some people i am aware, call a grundle
