As much as I love antiques, there really is something to be said for kit furniture. If all it needs for assembly is an an Allen wrench, then it comes with one. Otherwise, all you need is either a Phillips head or a flat head screwdriver. Our nighstands for the guest bedooms took more time […]

Cat Hairs Everywhere!
Posted in Uncategorized on November 29, 2016 | 5 Comments »
We had solid hardwood floors throughout our previous house, as well, but for some reason, in this one, the cat hairs tend to collect into nice neat clumps within a day or two of vacuuming the old ones. I can tell by the color that they’re mostly from our bunny-soft longhair (Wegie). Our black shorthair […]
Assorted Things

I don’t recall having to pay the USPS $1 to register a change of address online, even though that’s the way I did so the last couple of times. Then again, I never before got a “welcome” pack from the USPS with a bunch of vendor coupons, instead of a stack of postcards to send […]
A Comedy of Errors

I have a love/hate relationship with Verizon. When we moved, I asked them to switch our existing service from our old house to our new one. At first, I was told I had to order all new STBs and a Gateway router. Bullshit. We took our old equipment with us, and it works fine. Self-install […]
More Eggs

Our neighbors left us more eggs — 18 this time. I see quiche in our future, or at least a frittata. I must add bacon to the grocery list. Hopefully, come spring and summer, we’ll actually have some of our own organically grown garden produce to trade for the eggs. We will have to dig […]
Mama’s Girl

Monica wants her “mommy” at all hours of the day or night. I’ve never owned a cat that shook a hind leg at me for real, and most cats like me, but this girl is practically a puppy-cat, which is slightly odd for a cat her age that got sent to the pound by her […]
Big Fat What?

Verizon continues to screw up. I got an email last night from them thanking me for returning my equipment, confirming that they got it, etc. What? We kept our old equipment, moved it here with us, and after the tech got done installing the basement box that connects the rest of the house with the […]
Brown Eggs
Posted in Uncategorized on November 3, 2016 | 6 Comments »
We just got a “welcome, neighbor” present from our next door neighbors. It was a dozen brown eggs, packed perfectly. I’m going to have to 1) send them a “thank you” note, and 2) go over to introduce myself. Best neighbors, ever? That remains to be seen, but a dozen fresh eggs, dropped on my […]

Hat tip: Sabledrake (Scroll down for the update) Looks like Nikita may be back on Lulu. You can click on the image to view it full size, without the blurry text. The listing dives right into Pacione’s feud with Brian Keene. Nobody would do that, except Nickypoo. In fact, there’s absolutely nothing there in the […]
