For some reason, looking out the window this morning is hurting my eyes. And the sky is a really funny color that I can only describe as “blue.” I think I saw something like this a long time ago – it’s a rare combination of a clear day and actually having a window to look out of. I could get used to this, except for the fact that everything is supposed to turn to crap again tonight. Rain changing to sleet, then snow they say. Those bastids in the Midwest are sending some shitty weather our way. Isn’t it bad enough they’re killing our trees with their acid rain, they have to send us snow, too? You people need to keep your weather (and you politicians) to yourselves.
So, who knew that Ikea sells Swedish Horse Meat Balls? Now, I like horses – just not for dinner. Then again, I don’t eat cows, either. I will admit to eating a fair amount of turkey and chicken, though. This is mainly because I’m too lazy to be a vegetarian. If somebody would only make all my food for me, I’d be happy stick to veggies.
Just not water chestnuts. I hate them.
We had a blue sky day yesterday but today the clouds are back, those damned locust trees are swaying in the wind and more rain is on the way.
We have a bird feeder that is frequented by lots of birds and at least 3 squirrels. I love to watch them all and Lola really likes chasing the squirrels who, on their tiny legs, still manage to outrun her by quite a distance. But, they are also very messy and wasteful. I think at least 1/2 the seeds are thrown on the ground where they sprout and need pulling and mowing. I need to find a way to catch those seeds before they reach the ground.
We didn’t get the snow they expected, but it’s all around us. Mr. FK had to go out to film it and got stranded when they closed the highway. He’s home now.
Pj, you should be happy you’re not working for Yahoo:
She’s such a bitch. :slap:
And such a hypocrite. Working from home was just fine when it was convenient for her to do so because she had “family responsibilities” (gender blind my ass – she played the “Mommy” card) but now there are no work-at-home options for anyone working at Internet-based Yahoo anymore because she wants employees to “bond”???? Meshugeneh :smack: is too kind of a word for her. Sounds like bullshit to me. PJs clueless CIO is of the same ilk.
PJ is not a “let’s all hold hands and chant a bonding OM :gate: ” kinda guy.
I’m all for women getting ahead in the workplace, but “Affirmative Action” doesn’t always have anything to do with competence or understanding how shit really works and work options that utilize the best of current technologies that didn’t even exist 20 yrs ago. My daily question-of-the-day remains “WTF is WRONG with people?????!”
I did watch the Academy Awards (previous thread). As for Hathaway, besides hanging out with Republicans, :yuck: she just doesn’t seem authentic. Of course, I don’t know her, but that is my impression when I’ve heard her speak.
More important issue about the awards:
Why Seth MacFarlane’s Misogyny Matters
By Margaret Lyon
Looks like no watching was a wise choice.
I guess PJ got lots of snow but we got lots of rain…and it’s still raining. Amazing some snow is still on the ground and there are puddles and mud everywhere.
It’s Thursday and yes it is still raining and of course it is muddy and yet there are still small mounds of snow still existing. I’m not sure if we have a dry day in the forecast but, as of last night, there is another snow day expected on Wednesday. Oh joy!
Pauxsutawney Phil you keep proving how wrong a rodent can be when predicting the coming of spring.
Speaking of how wrong a rodent can be, Bob Woodward is complaining to Hannity that he was threatened by someone in the Whitehouse for saying that the sequester idea originated there. I guess he’s going to need a new Uzi to protect himself.
I got up a little late this morning to find that the popey changey thing is loading up the news cycle. It’s blowing the sequester right off of the front page. I was thinking about another megalomaniacal ‘leader’ who bailed to hide something and 1/2 term gubner Palin came to mind. Get out before they figure it out and hope they don’t stay on your tail. Soon we will be popeless.
