09:33 – Barbara has been gone for 24 hours. Colin and I are still alive. She called yesterday afternoon at 1650 to say she’d arrive safely after driving seven hours with a few stops. Her cell signal wasn’t great, but at least she has service out there in the middle of nowhere. Verizon has a pretty good network.
More science kit stuff for me today. I need to make up more solutions for chemistry kits and run a bunch more bottle labels. When Barbara gets back, she’ll have plenty of bottles to label and fill.
Colin and I haven’t been able to find any wild women, so in the evening we’re watching reruns on Netflix streaming. That and playing ball. Or, as Colin plays it, keep-away.
“Barbara has been gone for 24 hours.”
Mrs. OFD has been gone for eight days and counting; back late Wednesday night. Feels the need to do the grandma thing with the grandkidz but not happy with son and DIL lately and how those kidz are being raised. Neither am I. Also does not dig the ‘hood; I told her to quit going there for a while but oh no, the grandkids, the grandkids. I knew this was gonna be a problem but I reckon I’m pretty limited in what I can do about it.
In any case, she’ll be home for a month before leaving again for OK, and then we’ll both go down for a week in MA, assuming that doesn’t get effed up again.
“Colin and I haven’t been able to find any wild women, so in the evening we’re watching reruns on Netflix streaming.”
I’ll take another look around up here for any wild womyn I can send down, but the pickings look kinda sparse.
Got some chores and errands to run, but later tonight I’ll probably watch that “13 hours” flick on the Benghazi capers.
Remember when signal strength isn’t that great, texting can work where voice calls don’t.
How about that neighbor chick, the one on the phone all the time? From your description she sounds pretty wild. Or a wild beast. Or perhaps just beastly.
“Or perhaps just beastly.”
Bingo.
If there was a Pillsbury Dough Girl, she’d be it. Balances the iPad on her left arm while talking on her cell and smoking a ciggie and waddling between the houses. Ignores us totally, even after our early attempts at friendly greetings when she moved in. Her fugly beast of a sister is likewise. We feel bad for their stepdad, who has to deal with them, his foghorn-voiced wife, her ancient WWII dad, and five dogs.
Meanwhile the long slog through the VA disability bennies maze continues, with renewed signs of life; gotta drive down to White River Junction Wednesday noon for another hearing test and I have another complete physical coming up next month. Also gotta get on the Agent Orange Registry and eventually the buggers will schedule the session/s with the VA shrink/s, which should be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

I knew that it was too good to be true.
“I knew that it was too good to be true.”
No comment.
“…especially those who are among the 300 millionish people who upgraded to Windows 10 already.”
Well, they better read Thurrott’s remedies and things-to-do tips. I have zero sympathy.
Church of Scotland considering online baptism…

Church of Scotland considering online baptism…
That is not new. The early church had people baptizing themselves in the second century for a while. I do not know why they started nor why they quit.
The IRS Commissioner is too busy traveling to attend his impeachment hearing. Probably counting Mr. OFD’s interest and penalties stored in Scrooge McDuck’s vault.
The House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing Tuesday morning to examine charges of misconduct by IRS commissioner John Koskinen, who could be impeached over his role in the alleged targeting of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.
Chairman Bob Goodlatte writes that an investigation showed that Koskinen was involved in the “destruction of key evidence, made false statements during his sworn congressional testimony, and did not notify Congress that Lois Lerner’s emails were missing.”
“I do not know why they started nor why they quit.”
OFD wonders why it is that all the old, traditional methods of doing things, whether the use of bathrooms, or being baptized, is so difficult to understand and keep.
“The IRS Commissioner is too busy traveling to attend his impeachment hearing. Probably counting Mr. OFD’s interest and penalties stored in Scrooge McDuck’s vault.”
We were robbed by criminal scum and continue to be robbed by criminal scum. With no end in sight. And they now demonstrate their utter contempt and loathing for us by their behavior and attitude. There will be a reckoning.

“That’s why this November, I encourage all men to vote with their dicks.”

I’m thrusting 3-4 times at least.
