Topic Suggestion: Favorite kids silly and parody songs (think: Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts…. and God, bless my underwear…. and On Top of Spaghetti…) – maybe as a kid and ones you still like to sneak in today!!
Love the Pet Stories – should be a more regular feature! Please always feel free to share.
We went to Disneyworld on our honeymoon so you know where I fall on that one. But I’d say my vacation that is “eh” to me is
Month that describes me….January – I’m always resolving to be more on top of things – every week or so!!
Old thoughts – flat iron on my flat hair – really is a strange thing to do – yes, my hair is super fine and straight as board but never looks like other people’s hair that I see that is straight and smooth. Mine always looks a bit messy so I’m hoping the flat iron will help smooth and organize things – particularly in the back with the cowlick (word origin possibility – can you google that for me?) and the sides – not sure what I really want it to look like but it never looks as good as when I leave the hairdresser – so I guess I need a hairdresser to be delivered to me every morning.
Sorry, …..”But I’d say my vacation that is “eh” to me is” Miami. I’ve turned down several conference trips to go there. Just don’t get it.
Hey ladies!
My favorite segment is now RTFM.
The ceiling is repaired, but we have no way to know if the rest of the ceiling might fall. We had no idea the chunk that did fall was going to and our replacement super (our regular guy was on vacation) was a fast-talking guy with a thick eastern European accent (sounded Russian or Polish to me) who kept insisting the ceiling only fell because our upstairs neighbors used an exercise machine…once. Some how, this is supposed to assuage our fears of more ceiling falling. In the end we decided to not lose any more time to this and if more ceiling falls, assuming we’re still alive, we can sue then. But we both have lives and did not feel like fighting with our landlord. This weekend, two weeks after the ceiling fall, we started moving our stuff back into the room. It’ll probably be another week until life is back to normal for us. As such, I should be done missing Hucklebug episodes for a while.
I am totally up for a “Trolls 2” screening with you guys via Netflix and Skype.
Bet, you should get the bear to come on the Hucklebug. I think he’d be the best Huckleguest ever!
Oh and regarding this whole “government shutdown” thing, I have a feeling a certain orange-skinned friend of ours may have something to say about it (No, I don’t mean John Boehner.) It’s totally out of control. However, personally, I don’t mind everyone calling it “Obamacare.” It is true that the media should be referring to it by it’s official name, but I think that official name is bullshit, too. Any act that isn’t named something boring is being sold to us not on it’s merits–a lot like the “Patriot” Act was during the Bush Regime. I don’t care which party is behind the law, if they’re dressing the name up, it means they’re worried we won’t like it because it doesn’t do what we think it should. It should be called “The Slightly More Affordable Care Act Now with More Mandate!” in my opinion. Obamacare/TACA is a step in the right direction, but to call it “reform” is kind of an overstatement. This is more like light regulation with the trade off for health insurance companies being the mandate. They can’t say no to pre-existing conditions, but they get a buttload more customers and their money. Personally, I’d prefer a real alternative to corporate run health care.
Climbing off the soap box now. Sorry to get all ranty for a bit there…
Still listening; still loving it. I think the Mona Lisa with a cigarette dangling from one corner of her mouth would be pretty funny.
