There are reasons not to do this. || Not entirely unrelated. || Her list may be longer than yours. || You’d never tire of it. || It’s a good-news-mad-news thing. || The thing that isn’t mentioned.

Diagnose…
Close. They are looking for a label that will allow them to ignore the substance of your remarks.
As much so as the Polish coffee mug.
Don’t worry. He probably doesn’t know how to use it. Probably end up cutting a paw off. Though maybe now you’ll be able to hear him coming as well as smell him. Well, this one anyway.
I do the washing up by hand but it’s still going to be difficult to ensure the space underneath that ‘tunnel’ is clean.
If you put more than the minimal effort into cleaning a coffee mug that you only put coffee in, you’re wasting time. I generally used a black mug for this very reason. Now if you put girly crap in like cream and sugar, well…we black folk just shake our damn heads…
Seeing lots of Guy Fawkes memes.
Remember, remember the fifth of November…
I’m just going to leave this here.
Along with some washing-up liquid and a sponge.
Heh.

For instance:
The anger directed at our traitorous ruling class is fully justified, but anyone with a smidgen of understanding of history and political movements should fear what any terrorist campaign will bring–much less armed revolution.
David,
Joke about the lady at the “Her List” link all you want. She still packs less for a trip than my wife does. Our CUV looks like the Joad’s truck from “The Grapes of Wrath”, loaded up to take the family to Californee, when we travel for a weekend trip.
Granted, my Mrs. prefers a less garish color palette for her belongings.
That thing that never happens has happened again.
Hey, that’s the stunt baby. I mean, you don’t expect the star to do all their own stunts, do you? 😏
I am chugging on a bottle of Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone Session lager.
Stand by.
I’m assuming the dear lady isn’t likely to be reading this.
David, I make fun of her in her presence after I pack the car. She’d read my comment, laugh, and agree.
Sadly that never means she packs any lighter with less clothing, shoes, and “stuff” for the next trip. 🙁 (At least I get a cardio workout carrying bags out to the car.)
She’d also think the woman at the link is a goofball.
Cat is sweet and smart.
[ Schedules tomorrow’s post, considers second bottle of Jeremy Clarkson’s lager. ]
[ Chugging. ]
I am sipping a James Gin London Drizzle & tonic from a James Gin tumbler whilst building my Airfix model E type Jaguar special “Gin and Jag” edition.
Munchausen’s Syndrome is a real disorder. I’m just saying.
Our late great tortoiseshell cat Harriet used to bring a variety of things inside in her younger years. IIRC, she began with twigs. When we moved houses, she discovered the neighbour’s apple tree, and would deposit them with a thump in the hallway and miaow to announce their presence!
And yes, she eventually turned her attention to rodents.
Would that she had noticed humans’ fondness for paper money.
After stocks in the public square this would be my second favourite punishment for anti-social behaviour.
A Yankee to a foreigner is an American.
The way I heard it: to an American, a Yankee is a Northerner. To a Northerner, a Yankee is a New Englander. To a New Englander, a Yankee is a Vermonter. To a Vermonter, a Yankee is someone who actually lives up in the Green Mountains. To someone who actually lives up in the Green Mountains, a Yankee is somebody who eats his pie with his coffee spoon.
I just add cream. Does that make me half girly?
[ Read that somebody trained their bird to steal paper money. ]
She’s really angry about the loss of her relationship with her family, but guess who she blames?
(Via CoderDyne)
Socialist defines “pharmacy desert” as living more than 1/2 mile from a pharmacy.
With sufficient creative thinking, everyone is deprived and oppressed.
Well, you are a girl so…I once poured milk into my coffee cup not realizing it had a little coffee in it. It wasn’t bad so I thought I might at least try a little cream in my coffee…yeah…no. It just seemed wrong. I want…I need… OK, I must have it at full strength.
The flowers are crocheted, not biological specimens, so they’re probably cat toys, maybe even catnip scented.
As some other commenters wondered, why is there a camera there and why is the cat looking at it?
I gotchu fam.

Bonus: the hazards of stashing paper money.
That is the video I remembered seeing.
I did wonder. I’ve seen videos of cats looking at cameras.
Even money says Only Fans is involved.
It may be a pet camera that owners can talk through and dispense treats, which would explain something.
Also, if the camera can pan then it won’t always been looking at the bed, and if it does move that would attract the cat as well.

The version I heard ends like this:
“Up in the Green Mountains, a Yankee is someone who still uses an outhouse…. I’ll stop here”
Ben David, I like that version! I’ll use it in future.
