Dilemma
For the last 90 minutes, there’s been a high-pitched, periodic whine/cry from downstairs. I think it must be the dog. This is a new neighbor that I don’t know but she does have a dog (it barks).
I’m not sure what, if anything, I should do - other than leave the house to get away from it. Do I knock and ask them about it? If they’re home, they obviously know there’s...
We have bread.
joiesdevivre:
The no-knead bread recipe is here and here (faster version).
I made this today (and yesterday, I suppose, since it takes a day) and it was a success! I usually fail at kitchen projects so this was VERY EASY. Mmmmmm…bread.

Than you love burning babies.
Bingo.
If by “bingo” you mean you mean, “Bingo, I found some boolshit,” then yeah— bingo.
Thank you, madthoughts, for using “then” instead of “than.”

Ron Paul's Lonely Breakfast of Champions →
misesman:
“DES MOINES — So I am eating the free breakfast buffet at the downtown Embassy Suites and who should stroll in but Ron Paul. By himself. This may not seem strange to the average voter, but anyone who writes about politics or makes their living off it knows that a presidential candidate — especially one who could win the nation’s first nominating contest in five days — never ever...

Excuse me, m'am. Do you know why I pulled you...
Instead of suggesting this avatar for kittykittybangbang, I’m just using it myself (now that I’ve figured out how to change my avatar). Also, joies told me that a new avatar would work wonders for my popularity. And we all know how important it is to be popular.
Ugh. I am dumb about car stuff and so I hate it.
An hour waiting for a tow. Close to $3K spent on all kinds of warranties and service contracts - and yet they want me to wait an hour to plug it (they aren’t even replacing it) and they were going to charge me $20. Since it was a nail, it’s not covered under any of the contracts, warranties, repair services and so on. Not something they mentioned during the lengthy service sales pitch...

Wussed out.
Although it would have been totally gnarly to join the elite ranks of Mini owners, my practical side just couldn’t be stifled. The Mini Countryman - while lovely to look at and fun to drive - is a bit too low to the ground for me with some dashboard viewing troubles, no nav system, and spotty reviews on handling. I was crushing on the VW Tiguan but they’re hard to come by and the...

Kids are so gullible.
As a child I was told - and I believed - that at midnight on Christmas Eve, animals could talk. Either Donny & Marie have nothing to say or they’re on a different time zone.
Merry Christmas, Tumblrs!

Probably a white whine...
I’m hating on my Mac right now. Things that are really easy and instinctual in MS Windows are stumping me on my Mac. I’ve been trying to work with photos - including something as simple as just uploading a profile photo to a website - and I’ve had 0% success. I even had to Google “print photos from a Mac” this morning to try and get an answer on something that really...

Not proud of myself, but it had to be done.
I live in a condo with 5 units - 3 single women, 1 young couple, and an older married couple with a bunch of kids (hard to tell exactly how many - but at least 2 teenagers). The family really likes to decorate for the holidays. For example, we have a pair of moving, lighted reindeer out front right now.
But they SUCK at cleaning up after themselves - so we still have a pumpkin out front from...

WatchAs a former bookstore manager who had to clean many a public restroom, I can appreciate this particular video.
