Perhaps a bit of rain each day instead of SIX INCHES in one day, eh? Jeez. Ventured out between downpours this morning to see how everything was faring. So far, so good…except the red stuff is here now… More pics later, if we’re not busy building a frickin’ ark by then. UPDATE: Everything came through [...]
Delivered the kids to school this morning amid intermittent torrents of rain. (Yay, rain!) Outside of school grounds, there was an interesting* sight on the side of the road, a mud-colored Ford sedan….the kind I fancy is most often used in bank robberies, due to its A) ubiquitousness, and B) complete anonymity (Ocifer: What did [...]
It’s an interesting thing, this level of “farming” I’m doing this year. My days have more routine now than they have had since the kids were tiny (read: more dependent), and I’m finding that, coupled with the time spent outside…weeding, watering, planting, transplating, taking pictures of it all…it is making a difference in my relative [...]
I’m having one of those days. You know, the ones where you feel pretty gotdamned unappreciated. (*Note for blog: When I make a post like this, I am never, EVER, talking about Husband. He is sans peur et sans reproche…and just how often do you get to use THAT phrase in a blog post? I [...]
Oh dearie dear. Kitchen Mage has a question for those with vegetarian kids: I am in the middle of writing a cookbook and would like to include some tips for parents of children who have declared they will no longer eat food with faces. I don’t care if you think meat is teh evul and [...]
If you have an autoresponder set up on your email that replies back with, “I have received your email,” then you’re a self-important tool and would you please get the hell off the Intarwebs. Here’s a little known fact: Fantastik kitchen cleaner will remove silicone sealant from your hands. Aren’t you so glad you read [...]
I honestly do not understand these people who get on the Intarwebz and have absolutely no clue about anything. Nor do they, apparently, want one. When I finally decided it was time to see what this internets thing was all about, I did it during downtime whilst working for Boeing. *whistles innocently* I used tutorials [...]
84 degrees yesterday, a lovely day for the beach. We hit Venice Beach down south of Sarasota, primarily because they’re the Shark Tooth Capital of the WorldTM…pretty sure that’s because Sharky’s salts the beaches every night, but whatever pulls in the touristas, eh? But they also have a dog beach (which are getting harder and [...]
Here’s a fuckin’ thought…if you can’t get email, how about you open a fuckin’ ticket instead of bombarding the server with dozens of fuckin’ test messages. Stupid. *breathe* Complete lack of babysitting T-minus 4 days and counting. Hey, remember those radishes I planted last Sunday? They sprouted on Tuesday. Yah, two days later. And now [...]
My GODS, if you are so fucking stupid that you can’t even tell who you’ve spammed, then you need to really NOT send bullshit to every email address in your address book. Nor, when contacted about it, do you need to self-righteously declare that the message wasn’t selling anything, it was “just nice positive information.” [...]
