You just want to see a fluffed-up stoat that has been to a beauty parlour.

Funny?

Oh, yes!

Never seed a frowny face quite so frowny.

Hi Sweasel , sorry about the “do”… the vid to your graphic is here… he tried to play it off…

One time, my mom got a manicure, and the next morning, she had to clean a little kid’s puke off the sofa and carpet. (Ex-neighbors [neighbours?] were staying over and had fed their kid cake, hamburgers, cookies, ice cream, and candy all day. Naturally, he threw up everywhere.) The neighbor dad tried to help by vacuuming up the puke with a shop-vac…set on dry pickup. He ruined the shop-vac, and Mom ended up having to clean everything up herself, despite her previously perfect manicure, because neighbor mom sure wasn’t going to help.

They haven’t been invited back since.

Oh, thank you, thank you for that triptych. I’ve been listening to *the* press conference (with Levin commentary to prevent my doing myself actual, physical harm), after reading this post over at Rachel’s — ewwww!
That belly laugh was a much needed tonic!

“So today, I had my hair done.”
Hmmm, other than an urgent need to bring on filthy weather (for which hanging laundry on the line and washing the car might have done as well), one wonders — was there some, ahem, occasion?

Hey, sometimes a stoat just enjoys being a stoat.

Reminds me of my dad asking me if my latest coif was a hair-don’t. When I was in my 20s, I used to change the color a lot (streaking, etc.), and he would view the latest with a jaundiced eye and say, “Can’t leave bad enough alone?” Not long on compliments, that one.

Sooooo, does the stylin’ mean the big day is upon us? 🙂

Ooo, I didn’t even think of that! Spill, Weas!

Us long-time female minions would like pictures via a ‘safe’ word protected site, kinda like the Hostages have for ‘proof of life’.
*wonders if she will wear a lovely, but simple gown*

See, I can do stars! Ready when you are, Raoul.

It is rediculous to think than Mericans spell worser than Britains. The thout makes me laff.

I thought of that.

Obama clunked his bonce. Let’s see if the lefty, edgy ‘comedians’ who inhabit the BBC’s topical news quizes and the like make a big deal out of this like they would’ve done if Dubya had done it.

I’m not holding my breath.

Gibby, have you seen this mornings reports? Looks like Barry O. has been pushing so hard to get Clowngress to pass his bill without looking at it because it institutes Socialized healthcare, with an appointed council deciding who gets what care NO MATTER WHO IS PAYING FOR IT. 🙁

Nope, hadn’t heard Scuba. But speaking as a Britisher, that’s one avenue you probably don’t want to go down. Not that it sounds like you have much of a choice in the matter.

Here it is, ‘Ruin your health with Obama’s stimulus bill’

*mind the space*

It passed, boys and girls. Anyone want to start taking bets on how quickly the bodies will start piling up?

Personally, I’ve decided to quit going to class. Why should I bother spending 60-70 hours per week studying medicine, when some government beancounter is going to be handing out treatment orders to my patients?

Hmmmm.

About the water. Have you considered having a trench dug around the house and filled with gravel for drainage?

You’re not really british until you start callin ghtem “wellies”

There is a trench on two sides of the house. Problem is, they aren’t draining properly — and have no place to go. They say we got a month’s rain overnight last night. We drove around a little this afternoon and I believe it. The fields are standing in water.

So it passed, did it? Oof. Here we go…

Hey Weasel – have Uncle B get you some nice jewelry for Valentine’s!

Yep, dirty Chicago politics brought to a national level. You know the people who were predicting that the bail-outs will lose jobs, not create them, were right? Did you see that GM is cutting 10K white-collar salaried jobs, and slashing the salaries of the rest? Notice that the union, who are the ones strangling the industry along with gov., are not affected?

Speaking of unions, Herr Obama issued an executive order that if you aren’t union, you can’t bid on federal contracts, discriminating against 84% of construction workers not wanting to join a union, thus paving the way for more massive fraud a la Chicago style patronage.

ACKK!

I was half-paying attention to Leper Messiah’s Happy Fun Time Tour until I heard about a certain lady who fell to her knees before Teh One to plead his mercies. At that point I was completely distracted from whatever I was supposed to be doing at work due to sheer and utter flabbergastration.

Here’s the details. Bring a barf bag.

As one of those low-level salaried slugs who got the bad news this morning (a printout draped over my keyboard in the office, not even face-to-face), I can attest to that …. I “just” got a pay and benefits cut (after not having a raise for 4 years), but at least I still have a job – at the moment. One of the caveats of the announcement was that this may not be the final deal.

You know, I’ll bet that we’re gonna have a parade of Senators and Congresscritters coming out claiming “I didn’t know that was in there!” after it’s signed……

All hail the Obama-Pelosi-Reid-Schumer “Hey Granny, Drop dead so we don’t have to waste any more money on you!” bill……… barf…

Oh man, felix, I am sorry to hear it. I will be sending some good vibes your way that it won’t go ‘further’. My husband is a white-collar schlep in the software industry that deals a lot with GM (used to be a part of them), Boeing, etc. I feel for you as we have been nervous ninnies for several years now….starting with how husband was told about 6 years ago, that they can get 3 Indians for the price of one of him, so suck up the downsizing, extra hours with fewer people, same expectation of good product.
He got a tiny raise the past couple of years, but all salaries are now frozen.

I’m going to have to call some friends in Michigan to see if the hammer has dropped on them.

They know exactly what is in there. Those commies answer only to Soros.

Thanks, PnB – Good vibes help! I have been wondering about the computer folk myself. Most people don’t know that GM has been the single-largest domestic purchaser of both computer hardware and software for some time now. If we go under, a lot of them will, too. The whole car is full of computer stuff now, plus all the things it takes to engineer & produce the blessed things.

Oh, geez, Felix — I am sorry. Hold on!! Vibes (for what that’s worth) headed your way.

Sorry to hear the sad news, Felix. We’re thinking of you and everyone else who is under the cosh just now.

There’s a lot of bad stuff going on at the moment, isn’t there? I was in a local filling station tonight and got talking to the girl working the till. I said she looked tired – she told me she works a ten hour day, six days a week with half an hour for lunch.

I think that is actually illegal here but when I raised an eyebrow, she shrugged and said: “I suppose I’m lucky to have a job at all.”

There’s a lot of exploitation sneaking under the radar now, because people are too scared to complain.

Thanks, Stoaty & Uncle B. 🙂

More good news – Sirius XM Prepares Possible Bankruptcy Filing.

Geez, I love XM. Don’t have it in my own car (my brother & his daughter both do & love it), but it has kept me alive/awake in many a test car on 10 & 12 hr. shifts. Well, I guess I don’t have to worry about OT shifts any more, as it happens. (grumble grumble grumble …)

Another GM detail (if y’all can stand it) – The General has been absolutely fanatic about honoring software licenses since the beginning (I know, because I was there when it started. When I first got there, we were using abacuses (is that the plural?) and chiseling the results on stone tablets). NO bootlegs or unlicensed software, even with their enormous use, be it PC stuff, or stuff written-to-task for the company.

spellings is an often-used plural noun
