Am I remembering wrong?
Aug 30th
I’m playing this trial game, and one of the steps is to click on specific roman numerals on a wheel to open the next bunch of levels. The first time I didn’t notice, but the second time the series of numerals I needed to enter was:
III, IIII, VI, XVIII, XII, XV, XX, XXIIII
Those are wrong, right? Four is IV not IIII, right?
Stupid question of the day

Is there any reason you can’t/shouldn’t pack water bottles in your checked baggage?
Besides rough baggage handlers but like low pressurization or altitude bullshit? I’d hate to NOT have water or pay through the nose when I can bring this with me.

Frakking email accounts
Aug 30th
I woke up this morning and all my cox accounts are canceled. Idiots. Maybe I’m the idiot for assuming that when I go INTO the damned store and physically request my internet account be TRANSFERRED to a new address that it includes existing email addresses. I think I’ve got most of the problem fixed over the phone but I haven’t actually received any new emails to check.
So could you guys send me an email @ cox.net?

My Personal 7th Son Theory

Kilroy 2.0 is John Alpha. The reason he’s so bonkers is he’s psyjacked or downloaded or split or whatevered himself so many times that his root personality is fractured. He’s brilliant, but brains doesn’t necessarily equal personality. So Kilroy 2.0 is literally everywhere.
How about them apples?
Happy Birthday Everyone!

First there’s snowcalla, my separated at birth (months and years apart) twin sister – long story.
And aranel13, who continues to be my friend despite – another long story.
And my niece Brandy – sweet 16 tomorrow actually, who I never got the chance to build any sort of relationship with but who I think about a lot.
And last and least, my Mother.
Y’all made it through another year full of ups and downs but would you have had it any other way? Here’s my sincere wish that the next year is better than the last. Because life should always be better!
Ugh, today’s mood is apparently maudlin.
Well shit.

When you burst into laughter after your daughter reports her beta fish Joxer leapt out of his bowl while she was cleaning it and slid right down the drain . . . she refuses to color your hair.
Guess its another DIY night.
Tumbling
Aug 28th
I decided tonight that I needed to trim my bangs.
And as I’m chopping away I realize just how bad my roots are showing already.
I just colored it on the 8th! Yeah, el cheapo Revlon Color Silk on sale, but still!
So now I’m waiting for Ginnie to get home so I can have her touch it up.
She started a second job today! She works at a 55+ community restaurant as a server and her Manager there told her husband, who manages a Street of New York, that Ginnie is reliable /responsible and he offered her a cashier and take-out counter spot at his place. So she’s getting trained tonight.
Actually, she just walked through the door . . .
Wow, she made $5 in tips as a cashier! Who tips the cashier?
Letting Making her do her homework before she colors my hair. Ain’t I a good parent?
The definition of "stand-up comedy"

Jack came home from school today with an Accident Report. These reports generally contain things like:
“Incident: Scraped his knee on the playground.
Action taken: Cleaned and applied a band-aid.”
Jack’s report however went something like this:
“Incident: Jack was using the potty in Room A when he went to stand up.Apparently at this point he put his foot down right on his underwear.Grabbing his shorts, but not his underpants, he proceeded to yank his shorts high – while leaving his underwear still underneath his foot. At this point, he must have remembered he needed to flush. He probably tried to take a step around toward the toilet when his underwear wrapped around his leg, causing him to fall and hit his head on the toilet. He was found on the floor next to the potty with his underwear around his ankles, his shorts around his waist, and a knot on his head.
Action taken: Applied ice and did our best not to let him see us laugh.”
I copied that from the Tribune’s EV Moms blog of someone I know distantly. Actually, we were supposed to buy our house from her, but got Kirk to do it and we rented from him. Katie is funny. And we never repainted those kitchen cabinets or replaced the handles, though I HATED those handles. She has a son (and a daughter) but I honestly can’t remember if his name is Jack so I don’t know if this is a true story or a joke. Either way I thought I’d share.
