A homosexual man I know has been tagged by one of the Duggar clan (whomever is expecting) on Instagram, and it's hilarious. They are tagging him as the baby.
I posted on FB but I will repeat because I'm so irritated.
Last night, after my kids' bedtime, one of our detectors started in with that hideous screeching noise that happens when the batteries are low. I spent an hour trying to locate which detector it was because naturally we have about 5 clustered together on the second floor and it only screeches once every 5 minutes or so. I took three different ones apart trying to sort it out, including one that triggered a phone call from our security company asking if our house was burning down.
I finally figured out it was a carbon monoxide detector that has no batteries and is wired into our house. I had to take a photo of the inside and email it to H (who is OOT for work, natch) so he could tell me which wire to remove to disconnect it without destroying it permanently. My guess is that the detector is going bad and we need to replace the entire thing, but whyTF can't this shit happen at 10 in the morning rather than at night when everyone is tired and just wants some peace and quiet?
And to counter my negative post, here is a positive cute post: proof that Mr. Fluffy Pants is a giant LIE and is nothing but fur. Tell me you wouldn't have flipped out and thought he was stuck! Nope, he can go right through. He's a LIE, I tell you.

make sure you don't have a carbon monoxide leak though. Could be water heater or gas. Be safe!
Fluffy reminds me of a huge octopus that fit through a similar sized crack on a boat. Was awesome to watch (SFGlobe).

Would that be hilarious terrible if it really was CO and we all keeled over because I was too annoyed by the sound of the alarm to heed it? In any event, the alarm was intermittent with long stretches of time in between, so I'm pretty sure it was the malfunction sound. Plus, we have other CO monitors in the house and none of them have gone off. Plus, we all woke up this morning.

IIOY, I would like a hamster-a-day picture! I had a hamster in law school, but she got sick and I had to euthanize her right at finals time (seriously, what the fuck, universe?).

I can try, but Lying Liar Hamster is tough to photograph because he moves at the speed of light and refuses to cooperate. Rude!
I will say, though, that when he slows down from a blur to merely race car fast, he is ridiculously, insanely, should-be-illegal cute.

I feel better knowing that you have other CO2 monitors. Just because you woke up this morning doesn't mean you wouldn't have a possible leak. It could be low enough that it isn't affecting anyone yet. But hopefully it would be detected by the other monitors.
I think I fed the I've dog twice. I'm like 99.9% sure I feed her. But she kept staging next to her food bowl pitifully. I can't cope before coffee. I think she's gaslight ing me.
I hate to tell you this, but you've been had. They sure no how to work the pitiful angle.

I give you credit for making the effort to not destroy is permanently. We might have had to replace a couple fire alarms because I JUST NEEDED THE BEEPING TO STOP!

I told H that if he wasn't able to tell me how to pull the wires, I was going to take a hammer to it because we needed some MFing sleep.
Because I'm an old, and my only interests are things on television and reading, I bring you three things.
1 - TWD's Midseason Premiere is titled "What Happened and What's Going On." Alternatively, you can call this "5A was a hot mess and everyone hates us and we can't write for shit." Seriously, at what point do you say to yourself, "I write for the most watched television show on TV, but I can't be bothered to come up with a good title or write decent episodes anymore. I would like to be fired." @majorwife
I watched this clip in my Early Africa and Its Global Connections class last night.
It blew my mind. I mean, why is north on top? It doesn't have to be. Even if we flipped our idea of which way the ear is on axis, the worst change would be the rotation direction from clockwise to counter, or vise versa.
I think he's doing this because of all the "YOU'RE GOING TO DIE BEFORE YOU FINISH! DO NOT PULL A ROBERT JORDAN!" and he's all like "FUCK YOU FUCKERS! HERE'S ANOTHER FUCKING NOVELLA!"

I was all mad at Georgie, but honestly Gaiman's George RR. Martin is not your bitch post kinda made me stop. Writing is not something you can just do on command. Weaving all those plot lines together - it's complex as SHIT. There is no way I can fault him for not spending 14 hour days in front of a keyboard. It wouldn't help...it would just mean a lot more deleting.
Besides I'm afraid if people keep complaining at him he'll die out of spite.
