As we do some last packing away of the house clutter into the garage before the realtor photographer arrives, and thinking to our move out of Portland after 12 years, I think back to when my daughter was a small child here and whenever she drew our house she included gray rain clouds above instead of sun. 😂

There are no dust bunnies in our home but I have spotted several herds of dust bison.

Every new YouTube video I try has clearly had its script written or rewritten by ChatGPT and nobody in the comments ever seems annoyed by this. The future sucks so much

@ryanhoulihan it is soooooo obvious and terrible.

Sirius Tom Petty channel is wonderful but they need to stop running the prerecorded shows from TP. It just makes me sad to hear him narrate stuff as if he was live.

My poor Beanie baby had hives today. This was after her day at the spa… I mean vet. Her welts are still slightly visible. Knowing the provenance of dog allergies is harder to discover than knowing the mysteries surrounding the origin of the Sphinx.

@Axomamma Since she was having an active reaction they wanted to monitor her to be sure she didn't go into an anaphylactic shock. As there's an extreme shortage of vets in the metro here- lots retired here (and all over like doctors, dentists and pharmacists) during COVID- drop off appointments for an emergency are a dog-send. They are very good vets and they treat her well. She was treated with injections and monitored for about 5 hours. She is doing well now. :) 🐶

@Axomamma honestly do not know, she had an episode like this last year and nothing since then. Hence my joke about dog allergies being harder to discern than the mysteries of the Sphinx. Both dogs have skin issues, I can't manage an elimination diet right now, we're in the whirlwind of trying to get a move going.

@vicster yeah I hate this. This was the second time this has happened no idea why.

Courtesy reminder. If moving to a different state, resist the urge to move your flat pack furniture. Just give that stuff away or it’ll be back to sawdust by the time your moving van has arrived at your destination.

@mckern oh hey that Expedit I got off you is going with us! The flat pack stuff I was referring to was actually total junk from (I think) Target that we got in a hurry when we bought this house.

@jimray if it was Ikea flatpack I was giving away it might, but it was more like junk from Target. 😂 (There are a few Ikea things that are going with us.)

Well this pissed me off. I watched this documentary about the forgotten Niuean soldiers who fought in WWI on behalf on New Zealand.

Many of them died of European diseases before they could even make it to the western front. The ones that did make it were accessories to white soldiers in the war. Their main duty was to dig trenches for them. https://youtu.be/9dNEkJsNmiA?feature=shared

@sipi little better than slaves.

@sipi it was at least gratifying to find some of the young men melted away when the recruiters came to get a couple hundred men for the war and avoided battle.

@sipi it was perfect.

Ok the collection between me and Munchkin is down to 4 guitars, 3 basses, 6 ukuleles, a mandolin, a melodica, a piano, a MIDI keyboard controller, a few amps, parts to build 3 more guitars and I am not looking forward to moving it all a thousand miles. Gear acquisition syndrome is a real disease that was exacerbated by the pandemic but little discussed by the medical community at large.

It was a good day. I found raccoon poop in the front yard. They are always welcome as well as the opossums.

One thing you don't think about ahead of time as a parent is the stuff you buy for your child over several years for things that variously spark their interest which they abandon. I mean, we all do this as kids, no surprise. But as my 13 year old sheds things as we prep for a move, I see all that stuff we provided for her which was just passing fancy now being prepped for donation. It's karma, baby!
