I disagree and it rests with him to clarify. But she loves him for (among many other reasons I’m sure) the fact she never falls in if she’s creeping sleepily to the loo in the middle of the night.

But he loves her for it. Which I think means she’s courteously flipping up both the seat and the lid, to be ready for him to pee.

I’m confused, what about the seat?

Good map!

You’re getting an unusual pattern in Southern California right now though. Usually our winds blow from the ocean, forming an inversion layer and trapping smog over the Los Angeles Basin as they hit the mountains. But atm the southeasterly Santa Ana Winds are pushing the smoke from the fires (which they exacerbated) out to sea.

“Ugh, too much trouble to kill myself, if I have to live in this fucking world I might as well try to make it a little better.” That’s my thought for today.

No. The horrible people would never choose it. They’d revel in making the good people so miserable they’d kill themselves. Society would crumble because only the selfish assholes would be left.

I like Top of the last 6 hours. In the Old Place I did Top of the last hour, but it’s a little slower here. If I can’t bear to read the article (too often these days) I can go straight to the comments and there will be some. If I run out of blue posts, or want to catch an unfolding event, I switch to Hot.

I avoid both by living in LA. We have our disasters natural and human, but our temperature is usually pleasant and always bearable.

With cold, you can layer appropriate clothing. And you can find much better appropriate clothing for purchase in the places that require it than you can find in your shops, along with advice from people who live there. Just don’t follow the example of the cargo shorts at -40° boys.

“In this image, one can see the core of the Milky Way galaxy, zodiacal light (sunlight diffused by interplanetary dust), streaks of SpaceX Starlink satellites, individual stars, an edge-on view of the atmosphere that appears in burnt umber due to hydroxide emissions, a near-sunrise just over the horizon, and nighttime cities appearing as streaks.”

I don’t recommend OP take on a toddler until they master their own emotions.

Good for you, though! Sending you a hex against other random stress-inducing disasters befalling your family while you’re navigating this difficult passage.

Shhhhhhh… ^itjustworks

Exactly, buying and selling homes is a lot more time-consuming than ending and starting a lease. Also as an owner you have responsibility to declare/disclose any major problems to the buyer. If you’re just moving out of a rental you may never even meet the next tenant. Rentals are always going to be a necessity, and people like your aunt are often the nicest people to rent from.

Hahaha!

Fortunately teens also overdo things so there’s probably plenty.

And people are forgetting you have a teenage son who needs to eat as well.

Sounds like your regular workout is mostly cardio and legs. So maybe the days you don’t have time would be good for some upper body and core strength building.

That donkey 'bout to open a can of whoop-ass

Yes

(I looked up “human composting” and Google knows I live in California, ymmv)

Edit: by “rapid” I mean faster than dumping you in the woods, it says 45 days.

I had planned on (organ donation first of course, but then) cremation, mostly to make my leftover remains easier and cheaper to deal with. Lately I’ve heard about rapid-composting, which is supposed to be more environmental. So that might be good. But it might be more expensive, in which case back to the plan.
