  1. Hello again people. I wish I owned a teakettle. Ugh. I traipsed across the highway to HD. They had one humidifier in stock. A big jigunda one that was like $200. NO! So then I did the walk of shame to Lowe’s, sulking down Hamilton Ave while sucking on my inhaler and trying not to mix up the kleenex for my bloody nose and the one to clear my glasses. I wound up buying some tiny craptastic tabletop humidifier that is barely letting out anything. Is one ever too old to just roll around on the floor, kicking, screaming and crying?

  2. Happy chinese new year!!!

    light day on the OT i see – hmph

    I learned something interesting from Con Ed this weekend – those electric heaters that you plug in run the same amount of wattage as 3 AC’s on all day long! – wowsers!
    so we stopped that!

    Rob – you buy your bedding from a drugstore?
    Arkady – sorry about digging out, but thank god you did

  3. BTW, Arkady, sneaky use of the word “sinister” above, in regards to left handers.

    To those who don’t know, the latin word “sinestra”, meaning left-handed, is the root of the word “sinister”. In Christian symbology, Jesus sits at the right hand, or the “good” hand of God. Guess who’s on the other side, the “evil” side? That’s why left-handedness was thwacked out of kids in Catholic school, centuries old ideas about good and evil, God and the Devil.

    Most of my friends are left handed. Hmmmm.

  4. But slopefarm I will mirandize him after the torture and give him a civilian trial with a jury of his peers (which in this case will be cats). Can mice put bombs in their underpants?

  5. Speaking of lay sees, at what age does one stop sending a niece or nephew money in a card for their birthday? Or does one send it forever? I have a niece who’s out of University with a post-grad degree working full-time. If we lived in the same country, I would likely take her out to dinner for her birthday. She has a good job and her parents aren’t exactly broke. Is it odd to still be sending her money?
