It’s to the place, now, where I highlight my whole post, right-click and “Copy” before I hit “Post”; especially if it’s a long post I’ve invested some real time/thought into.
Yep, the post-eating gremlins are still on here.
Wednesday uses the scratching post very nicely. Shannon is scratching other stuff, too; we need to trim both their claws.
Our furniture is getting pretty worn out, what with all the little boys, so scratching isn’t that big a deal.

You can’t just “backspace” and have your pre-posting screen return? That works for me.
Thinking about a strawberry blonde?
It depends upon the actual source of the error. I’ve run across instances where hitting the “Back” button didn’t work.
Just a thought. I don’t know a thing about how any of this works!
A strawberry blonde?
You realize I’m going to have to go into a Decline now, because I’m so unbelievably old ...
“Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde as the band played on.
He’d glide ‘crost the floor with the girl he adored as the band played on ....”
Very popular song around 1912.
Oh, well the song I was quoting is considerably newer than that lol.
I didn’t realize there was a modern song using the same line. My teenagers use headphones ... and even when they don’t, I can’t understand most of the words, anyway. (They say they can’t understand, either.)
Speaking of words, we were listening to “The Who” on the Sirius radio last night coming home from church, and the display showed, “Mama’s Got a Squeeze-Box.” I’d always thought the line was, “Mama’s gotta sneeze, but Daddy never sleeps at night.” Mondegreens ...
LOL, I always mishear lyrics too. Some of the albums I own are older than me, since today’s mainstream music is so awful.
I agree. I love 40’s and 50’s country and folk music, because that’s what my parents had on records when I was growing up. “The Kingston Trio”! Magnificent harmonies and above-average banjo :-).
Ah, here you have the insidious secret of their marketing strategy. Before you can decipher the words, you have to listen, and listen, and listen several more times, until you can puzzle out all the words of the song.
By the time you realize that this garbage is something you really don't want in your brain, it's far, far too late.
Thus the kids brainwash themselves. That zombie look is there for a reason.
I don’t have any kids but sometimes when you read the words of what you’re listening to, you won’t want to listen to it again.
We have rules about what CD’s they can buy. Anoreth picked up a “Motley Crue” CD at the neighborhood yard sale recently, and I made her take it back.
I don’t think they hear the words, mostly. The instrumentation is such deafening noise that they can’t! I figure that if it’s “Christian” heavy metal, the message they can’t decipher is some kind of religious-y, anyway. At least not about sex or drugs!
(If it was up to me, we’d have nothing but classical and folk, but their Dad approved the rock thing ... besides, bluegrass is loaded with murder ballads of the most graphic sort!)
That's why I made Anoreth return "Motley Crue." I read the lyrics!
This seems like an opportunity to pick up 2,000. If not, at least I get a pair of 9’s.
Slow month!
2,000
