GB your spelling. Had to go to the vet with my mom and her (read as "my") 14 year old Black Lab to have her (not my mom) put to sleep today. It was the right decision, she'd been declining for awhile and it was time to do it before she truly suffered, but I've been blue all day. Plus, my mom has been wearing herself out helping her up and down steps and cleaning up the increasingly frequent accidents.

Now I'm sitting here sipping bourbon and sharing your atrocious spelling with my two idiot Dachshunds to keep from worrying about my mom sleeping in an empty house for the first time in 12 years (she sort of inherited the dog from me when I got married and our apartment just wouldn't work for a big dog).

Keep up the good werk.

That's 79% of the Oregon economy.

my bad seed 9 year old wanted to fill out a bracket this year since she just finished her second year of organized basketball. wherever she got stuck, she went by whichever mascot name she liked more. she ended up going mostly chalk (she likes alligators, wildcats and wolverines...go figure), but has a couple early upsets. I spotted her $10 and threw her bracket into Frosty's brother's pool. if she wins, I pretty much need to quit doing brackets.

Anybody want a cat? The one in question enjoys licking and biting faces at 2:29 a.m., or grabbing a mouthful of hair with her teeth and pulling if no face surface is available.

She's just been banished from the bedroom which means all manner of my stuff is getting peed on right now.

I saw you were the last poster in the thread and opened it wondering what the hell you were doing up.

Happy to hear YSRbaby is good, by the way.

New baby-to-be, that is. Well, and existing YSRbaby, too.

Yep, no issues with YSRBaby sleeping through the night tonight. Just cat issues. She had also vomited on the floor right next to my bed so when I shot out of bed to cast her out of the room, I stepped in it. So pleased.

Parental bragging moment - my 16-year-old son just found out he's been selected for a State Department-backed scholarship to study Arabic in Morocco for two months this summer. It's through something called the National Security Language Initiative, which the government created to get more Americans speaking 7 key languages - Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Korean, Turkish, Hindi, and Persian.

The program materials aren't clear about whether they begin recruiting him as a spy now, or if they wait until college.

Is he aware he's going to be a spy yet?

He's very liberal - his vision is to help foster understanding between Americans and Arabs. I have told him that he can do whatever he wants with his life, as long as he doesn't pull a Snowden if/when he becomes disenfranchised with U.S. government practices.

Link to program? My daughter (14) is in her 2nd year of Chinese. Wouldn't mind shipping her to China for a couple months. For learning purposes, of course.

My 7 year old talks in some made up language to my neighbor's dog. Also started referring to himself as "Fart King". Maybe I should start looking into this National Security Language Initiative thingy for him.

I also refer to myself as "Fart King". The difference though, is I'm a 41 year old man.

Very overrated. The "bloody" is a watered down mix and the slider is about the size of a half dollar and over cooked. The bun:burger ratio makes Burger King blush.

GM, is there something going on in Portland the weekend of July 18? I'm having a hell of a time finding a place to stay.

:bunkingwiththegms:

Big weekend in the Rose City....take your pick for the culprit:

- Scotish Highland Games. Come watch 300 Disco Stu's in kilts get blindly drunk and throw logs (no euphemism)

- Robin Hood Festival. Wanna make fantasy baseball look cool? Come to the Robin Hood Festival where the largest collection of virgins and wizards converge to drink Meade and joust with paper towel roll holders.

- Sand in the City. What exactly are 23 year olds doing with $200,000 art degrees? They are converting 400 tons of sand in downtown Portland into replicas of cars they can't afford and ironical sculptures of hated politicians they know nothing about. This event is Free!

- The Dog Show. Stumptown Clusters presents a dog show devoted to specialty breeds and dogs with missing limbs. Hosted by Fred Willard this year's show is sure to be a howl.

- Jazz Festival. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

There is also a Pirate and Gypsy festival but that seems mundane.

If I was forced to choose I'd go to that Scottish thing. Went to one here a few years ago. There was a lot of beer and the D&D/RenFaire/SCA vibe was surprisingly low.

Rust, you smell something?

Marty, we're living in a cesspool of sulfur-laced poisons, constantly bombarding our senses with literal and figurative intestinal waste, a cacaphony of putrid, steaming refuse assaulting us in the one sense guaranteed to create lasting memories, olfactory rape sponsored by our filthy, violative society. I'd be more surprised if you didn't smell something.
