Happy birthday!

This Iago unit has a bad motivator, insojafar as he hasn't motivated his boss to do anything.

...Not the bedclothes!!!

This is my wife offering her time & talents for a personal friend's gofundme. The deal is like our annual avatars but she is sewing you a plushie. You can email me your donation receipt, shipping address and request your plushie and its colours etc. We'll eat worldwide shipping. Thanks.

This after I watched Linkara's series on "Trouble" today.

You're not toxic, and if I may say so, you never have been.

Give yourself the time and solace you need.

Panel 1: Marcel is on his bed, talking into his phone. Marcel: “Mama, what do you know about this group?” Mrs. Godchaux’s voice: “The Reverend is going to lead us to the ultimate Kingdom of Heaven.” Panel 2: Mrs. Godchaux is in her living room, talking into a landline phone. Mrs. Godchaux: “And if you weren’t such a WILLFUL child, you’d see that YOURSELF. What use is money if we’re all left alone to face this hell on Earth?! Panels 3-6 alternate between showing Marcel and his mother on their respective phones. Marcel: Jane told me they’re gonna throw you out of your apartment! Mrs. Godchaux: I don’t care. The Reverend’s shown me the way. He’s leadin’ us all to a BRAND NEW WORLD! So take my advice! Save your soul now and join us or ELSE! Panel 7: Mrs. Godchaux hangs up her phone with a CLANG! Panel 8: Marcel shouts, “MAMA?! HELLO?” Panel 9: Marcel throws his phone on the bed in frustration. Panel 10: Marcel walks away, his hands to his head, completely frazzled. Panel 11: Marcel remembers Horace’s words: “...It’s going to kill us ALL in the end…!”

Communication breakdown.

Good point.

Spot on!

I mean, I feel silly now. "WHAT IF MY CAR BREAKS DOWN ON THE FREEWAY?!"

"Dood. Roadside assistance has been covered in your insurance for YEARS."

"HUH???!! ...oh. Huh."

I can deal with bad stuff in my life...as long as I'm prepared and not BLINDSIDED.

By having solutions (not ideal ones usually, but still workable solutions) to my fear-ridden "what if" car scenarios, I have actually talked myself down from being paranoid whenever I drive.

So there's that.

You come and go, you come and go,
Lovin' would be easy if your colors were like my dreams,
Red, gold and green, red gold and green.

One saved from the psycho! Let there be more!

Happy birthday!

I salute you for having the fortitude to get through the first twelve minutes of "The Ancient." (Yes, I'm aware some people like it. The minute I hear Steve's drunk-sounding atonal shrieking guitar lead at the beginning, though, I just check out.)

How exciting! Congratulations!

And then his rant afterwards! I think about it even now and laugh.

Yes. They'll give you all the details; take notes then. Then take that to your doctor. A good doctor is aware of insurance company idiosyncracies.

Honestly, I think it should be the same as my insurance company, from the research I've done.

Just... call your pharma-related insurance company first, is my advice.

Still my favorite bit from that movie. Brooks' Moses portrayal cracks me up. "I hear you, I hear you! ... A DEAF man could hear you." "WHAT?!" "Nothing, forget it.."

My insurance company told me they want charts and data stating that my prior Type II Diabetes treatment hasn't worked and I need to be on Ozempic.

My doctor was under the impression that merely prescribing it would count as "Physician Authorization" and I'm like, ha ha, oh no, not falling for THAT.

How could Aladdin fight a villain so... CUTE, too!!

I mean, the whole album is good, it's just a matter of the mood I'm in. Sometimes I do listen to the whole thing. It's just not mandatory for me now.

"More Fool Me" is a lovely song, Phil's then-frail vocals are charming, and it's two minutes long.

But more often than not, it's so sleepy and I just want to get on with things.

From the prog rock nerd:
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (ha ha! But it's true)
Yes - Going for the One
Rush - Hemispheres
Rush - Permanent Waves
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
Yes- Close to the Edge

Shockingly, even as a big Genesis fan, all of their albums have at least one song I skip.

I just need to calm myself down and be PREPARED for it. This car needs to last at LEAST another two years, and with the commute, I'm burning through the miles. We may move when the lease is up, sure, but that's getting ahead of things.

Sigh.

Thanks for looking at dog and mouse. It's self-therapy.
