I’ve worked with a lot of people who do hard, physical labor outdoors and they are almost always in Carhartt gear. Either that or Duluth Trading Company, which is what I wear.

Gas, paper products, salad, honey, cereal, bacon, snacks, even alcohol. It’s just me and my husband and we live pretty frugally. We opened a membership a few years ago and have never once regretted it.

Jithub makes me think of a place you go to get an STD.

Thanks. I don’t have a prostate but incontinence is more common in women. At the first sign of a leakage problem, you bet I’m heading to the doctor right away.

Getting up to pee 2x a night

I hate that too but I’m just glad I still have enough bladder control to actually wake up for it. I dread possibly losing that someday.

I haven’t seen that since I was a kid, but I still remember this part: “Eleven! Your dragon fire melts my eyes.”

I might not even have the quote right but that’s what kid-me remembers.

I am bleeding, making me the victor!

That ALAB sounds right up my alley, thanks.

You are an amazing cat parent. 🥹

Wow, I’m so glad you didn’t live far and you got her out. Did you just have to call to her to get her down from there or did you have to climb up?

First car was a pre-owned white '91 Ford Escort GT that I named Gypsy Jo. She was my traveling companion and served me well until some uninsured bitch rear-ended me.

Second car was Moonshadow, a brand-new blue '99 Honda Civic Si. He saw me through a bad breakup and we had many adventures together. I sold him to a car enthusiast in 2016 for $6500.

Current car is a pre-owned black 2011 Subaru Impreza Outback named Ira. He saw me safely on a long 14-hour drive when I recently moved.

Then Polly was very lucky you happened to be visiting that day. It could’ve been so bad for her.

Ooh, that might be it. Thanks!

Such a fitting name. 😆

Thank you for sharing all the pictures. I love the different names and your write-ups. Jethro seems like such a character. We always imagined our Murphy to be a rough-houser like that, but we never had a dog and our other two cats wouldn’t it.

Murphy’s “scream”:

I have never been in a store with a cat but would totally be a frequent customer if I ever found one.

I wonder if it’s a Robusta Decora.

Thanks. I do think it is that but I was looking for an even more specific cultivar because of the size and darkness of the leaves. I have an elastica and have seen many at garden centers but none like this one.

Daaamn, that’s cold what your ex and supposed best friend did. But I love how it all turned out in the end.

I think you have pet taxes due.
