Ash liked to sit under a drying umbrella, because of course he did. If there was anything he could sit in, climb on, or crawl under, it had to be done.
Can anyone tell me what this means, practically speaking? It seems to be saying "We're now going to track everything you do online whether you like it or not." Would it even help to delete your account? Once they have your info, they're not really going to let it go, are they?
Ash liked jigsaw puzzles. Sometimes, while we were working on a puzzle, he'd try to steal pieces out of the box.
I kinda like that this pic makes it look like Ash had an attitude, but he didn't really! Goofy boy.
I know I'll get to the point where I'll just remember how sweet and goofy and clever he was, and how much he blessed our family, instead of fixating on how scary these last couple days must have been for him, and worrying that I let him down.
Looks like we're going to have to say goodbye to our sweet Ash today. We never got a definitive diagnosis, but the doctors said the x-rays of his lungs look like metastatic cancer or extremely severe asthma. They think it's probably lymphoma.
Our snuggly boy Ash is in the hospital again. 😢 With fluid in his abdomen this time.
Orville Hunter was 32 and single when he joined the US Army in 1940. His parents were dead; he lived with a married sister in Nampa, ID. He survived the Bataan Death March in 1942, and died on the hell ship Shinyo Maru when it was torpedoed by an American sub in 1944.
I know it doesn't mean anything, really, and my kid's already registered anyway, but it still makes me uncomfortable. My feelings about the military these days are well summed up by this "recruiting ad" in @theonion.com.
We'd love to know exactly how many thumbs Puffin has, but she won't let us get too close a look. I think this foot has at least four.
"The Titanic" in October 2024. They turned it around pretty fast, actually. Like one of Elon's Starship launches.
For half that, you could go to the next town over and buy a dirt lot that needs to be bulldozed.
I'd like to say that Puffin knows she's a gift to our family, but really she just found a good hidey-hole behind the tree with presents for cover.
The greatest economy we've ever had! At least since... um... well, this cover is from October 2024, so... Are we still the envy of the world?
Brach's Royals! I loved those. I can't believe I'd totally forgotten about them until just now.
Well, you've made me learn something today. Thank you! Turns out, it's not within 100 miles of the actual border, it's within 100 miles of an "external boundary", which includes coasts of any kind. So even though Lake Michigan is entirely within the US, the 100 miles starts at its edge.
I mean, if he had just *refrained* from causing millions of preventable deaths, he would have been more liked. Heck, if he had even just *not celebrated* causing millions of preventable deaths while dancing around with a chainsaw. But, no. Had to be this guy.
