The red sox are totally bumming me out this year. Seriously.

Have you seen that Wilco cell phone ad?

I think we might need to hear all about THAT.

last year we got it on Christmas, There is a 7 hour diff and all...

Tomorrow I am making pralines. Does anyone have a good recipe they like?

Yes, it is my favorite of the Matt Smith Doctor episodes. Absolutely makes me cry. EVERY TIME.

Manny rumors are that he's looking at the O's, because of his past relationship with Dan Duquette. Frankly, as disappointed as I am with Manny for his antics the last year he was with the red sox, I think he'd be a good match up for the O's who, frankly, could use some more crazy personalities to sell tickets to that great stadium. Although I do believe that the Oriole's wholesale routing of the red sox at the end of the 2011 season hopefully will help them fill up that ball park. It is a great place to see a game.

You weirdos and your internet marriages. Caliber and I had a lovely day that was absolutely perfect in every way, from those who were there and family and weather and just perfect, but i would have really preferred to spend the $ (a little over 5K almost all of which was spent on full buffet food w/ carving stations etc and beer and wine and all the staff, plus covered the cost of all the food and drink for the local party in RI as well so food for about 100 in NC and food for about 50 in RI) on a really awesome honeymoon trip. We covered the cost of our own wedding which was outside on a l

I am not sure i can give Lammy's old lady reason to go to the woods and cut down a tree in the national forest, although I suppose it is a little like culling the deer population so that they remain healthier...perhaps select cutting of national forest trees keeps it healthy for everyone and maybe keeps the low brush down (which is safer regarding forest fires) But i do know that getting at tree at a tree farm is a great way to do the following: support local businesses, keep people employed over the winter months (a lot of landscapers do tree farming and plowing in the winter), maintain rea

True story: caliber and I have custody of nurfherder's cat.

Just buy it. You want to get to book 3 ASAP!

There is a presale (chicago) for the 930 Club/Merriweather Post Pavillion show on the 25th of September. 10:00 am Wilco at Merriweather Post Pavillion I thoroughly enjoyed the Wilco show we saw there a few (2005?) years ago with a few board members.

Thanks Ms Y. I will be in your state next week. I'll wave southward.

Well, that was different. They didn't give you a forwarding address that time.

Your chicken keeps trying to escape.

A cat that doesn't like other cats for whatever reason isn't going to do well at that no-kill shelter where they are forced to interact with the other cats. And most no-kill shelters are such in as much as the cat is adoptable. If she terrorizes the other cats on a routine basis, is it possible they will euthanize her?

There are a lot of illnesses that can manifest in a cat that a vet wouldn't pick up on in a routine exam. You should take her back to discuss the behavioral issues and have them run the appropriate tests before you dump her. It might be something as simple as a cycle on some antidepressants. or maybe her thyroid is out of whack. But you won't know until you take her in for this specific issue.

Congrats on the quitting smoking. I have no idea how to do it, but I know it is hard and brutal. Good luck! You're a tough guy. I think you can do it.

ha! you know i don't go anywhere else on VC these days but here, huh? Thanks.

Who will be next? Gsteinb and Isadorah??

9 lbs, 22 inches long.

I had the whole freakies set. I think it is the first thing i saved boxtop thingies to and sent away for.

Yeah, we play the pretty basic game here. Don't usually change any of the boilerplate rules. You wants in or wha?
