      I'm hooked! I may start a chat post after I catch up to the current episode.

    The last time the Royals were in the World Series, I was the same age my DD is now. #BeRoyal

      I'm not really a baseball fan, but I remember watching some of that World Series as a kid. It's been so fun seeing all the ecstatic fans.

    People who abandon animals in the country are jerks.

      The starving stray pup who showed up at our house had previously broken her leg, and the woman at the shelter said it would most likely need to be removed. She's off to be rehabilitated, and I hope she finds a loving home. I'm still mad at her original owner, whoever that was.

    Sign that it's time for me to go to bed: reading a thread title as "Do your children eat placenta?"

      Word Nerd

      Or maybe it's a sign I need to admit I need bifocals.

    But I don't wanna de-skunk the cat.

    1. Word Nerd

      Word Nerd

      The hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and Dawn mix really works! The cat didn't freak out too much and smells MUCH better now.

    Drive kids to pool, pay $12 admission, pool closes less than a minute later. No refunds!!

    1. Word Nerd

      Word Nerd

      I would call the manager/owner. Whoever took your money surely knew they were closing.

    The tracking number on my AoPS order ends with 666. Should I be worried? ;p

      The other day my FitBit counter ended in 666. I couldn't resist stomping around for a few more steps before I took it off for the day.

    I've heard tarantulas can migrate through this area, and tonight the kids and I saw one crossing the road. HEEBIE-JEEBIES!

    So sick of summer heat.

    1. Word Nerd

      Word Nerd

      Me too! I love summer, but it's September now, and it could at least be in the 70s and 80s instead of the 90s and 100s.

    It's DH's first night with a CPAP. My first thought when I saw him with the mask on: "Are you my Mummy?"

      Yes, I can see the Ood resemblance too.

    I have my first-ever mammogram tomorrow. At least it's just a baseline, but I'm not looking forward to it.

      Word Nerd

      Thanks for the good wishes! It wasn't a pleasant experience by any means, but it was no big deal at all. Whew!

    About to start my third episode of the new Arrested Development. Methinks I'm not going to get much checked off my to-do list today.

      There's really no need to rewatch all the old ones first, but that's fun too.

    Watching the pilot for Once Upon a Time. Does the acting and dialogue get better?

    1. Word Nerd

      Word Nerd

      I like the premise but am not so sure about the execution of the idea. I'll give it a few episodes at least.

    Here's another regional pronunciation question: Do you say "shone" so it rhymes with shown--or so it sounds like shawn?

    1. Word Nerd

      Word Nerd

      I say it phonetically with a long o but have also heard it with a short o, though so far only by British speakers.

    I just spectacularly spilled a full cup of coffee down the side of my bed (box spring and skirt), all over library books, and my kindle. At least my room smells yummy.

      I did that before--with wine.
