Consider yourself semi lucky i guess if wearing correction is even a yes or no question for you. I can't even walk around or cross the street without correction

People are correcting you on how to walk and cross streets? That's rude and those people are mean.

As if they have room to talk. Why, just this morning I saw two, two!, cop cars pull an illegal u-turn (the sign says no u-turns, you scofflaws!) and then run a red light! wtf!

Ugh I just realized auto-correct made a fool of me in the last Phriday

I'm not saying where, maybe nobody will find out before I have access again and can fix it...

This is an excellent and cunning ploy to guarantee everyone devotes a lot of time to reading your Phridays.

I am a phone-only poster

I occasionally browse on a desktop if I need to read a lot of posts in one thread though

Phone-only because I don't have a working computer. I also have rheumatoid arthritis, so phone-posting is frequently literally painful. :c

Dang, that seal came up with a better excuse for not finishing a research paper than I ever did.

Or maybe emailing his/her boss: Eel in nose; can't come in today. Have Jason finish the spreadsheets.

This blasted little wretch of a beast will drive me to insanity (and beyond)!

His appetite stimulant causes "increased nocturnal activity" and "increase vocalizations". So he's pacing about the bed. Making the same weird yowl as if he were about to vomit. Which, you see, he always tries to do on the bed because it's comfy and who doesn't want to be comfy when vomiting? Not Tanuki, nope, come out from wherever to jump up and do his famous imitation of a lawn sprinkler, the fat fuzzy gently caress.

Anyway. My evening edible is kicking in and he's up here making me paranoid and I just want to go to sleep and I cannot handle his existential crisis right now.

Bastard.

I have eaten something close to this for over 20 years now. gently caress that sounds terrible to write out.

I will at some point find a better tomato sauce, I don't actually like the ketchup approach much anymore, but almost all shop-bought sauces are heavy on stuff I don't like, and my kitchen is a little deficient right now. I have a single induction hob and an oven, that's it.

Can you buy just tomato sauce and add what you like? I use tomato sauce (plus tomato paste, sometimes) as a base and it works out quite well.

Happy new year!

Maybe this will be the year ol' Earth changes things up a bit, instead of yet another boring lap 'round the same boring gravity well. Try a different route or go walkabout or something. Be different!

Conquer Middle Earth.

Well, Sauron isn't a person; he's a spirit. Sort of. And he bound most of his power to the ring.
He's still plenty strong without it, but with he regains everything.

This reminds me of my most amazing business idea.
You know how snail-slime facials are a big thing recently?
And also civet coffee?
And also beer is a way you can keep slugs off your vegetable garden?

Presenting, slug-beer, it's beer that's been drunk and excreted by a slug, the most delicious of all beers.
Edit: SLUG IT DOWN.

I so enjoyed Mr. Emerson's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner that I dug out my copy of his Inferno to re-read. I'd love to see what he could do with Purgatorio; it's my favourite book of the Comedia. Not likely, though.

I've had good luck in general with these sorts of graphic classics.

Dont get me wrong, I love the snot out of her, but some times i'm like... sheesh lady, not everything needs to be chewed on or barked at

unless she got a memo I missed

Chew everything. Also, practice barking at least once every five minutes throughout the day.

Raining today, too. A good day to stay under a blanket with a fat fluffy fellow curled nearby and do math & logic puzzles.

When I were but a lass, I was, for unknown reasons, very attractive to mosquitos. They loved me with a fervour bordering on obsession, to the exclusion of all those around. Obviously, I was the one person indispensable to any hike, bonfire, or camping trip.

Now that I'm an old, it's cats. They come out of nowhere, follow me for blocks, and even straight up run into my house, causing poor Tanuki distress and anguish. It's sweet but weird. I've had to call some silly beast's owner several times just this year.

Maybe I exude catnip.

The times I have actually taken pure Nepetalactones, it has indeed seemed to lead to cats being able to smell it on me for some time afterwards.
Pure Nepetalactones will also make your body smell bad to mosquitoes.

I don't even drink catnip tea. My other theory is they know a soft-hearted dim-bulb when they see one. I'm pretty sure cats just scratch hobo sign into nearby fences and trees.

You can generally can do sports a lot better with an animal around. Back in the days I used to run with my dog or even cycle and he kept me going when I didn't want to anymore.

Also horses can be super fun to talk to while high, just dropping that.

Picking up my cat multiple times daily counts as weight-lifting. :colbert:
