I thought the bathroom floor was filthy, but when I tried to clean it, turns out it's just old stains. I'm still not sure about that bedspread, though. LOL to Joe Bless You. Alex (Wrywriter) likes to use the "dog" thing and put it in my head again (hi, Alex!). A million years ago when I was on AOL and used to hang out at the atheist forum there, they liked using "dog" also. On the flip side, I knew a woman who named her dog "God." She loved standing at her front door yelling for her dog, "God! Where are you, God?!" I think she liked scaring her neighbors. And she got a kick out of patting her dog on the head and saying, "Good God, Good God." This sort of silliness tickles me no end. Selena,

I would sell my left arm (I'd keep my jewelry on it too, but really, who needs another left arm?) to not stay in one of those and have often put Ed on the brink of bankruptcy to "keep me in the style I've been accustomed to." Although, in circumstances like yours where the lodging is limited, sometimes it's (ack!) necessary. Second, for purely selfish reasons, I'm kinda glad you're stuck there if it means you'll be posting more often. Since this is now the first blog of the day I read (you've eclipsed Dooce - she's been relegated to second place) I love when there are new posts. Third - the "thank dog" thing reminded me of skit George Carlin used to do: Because George Carlin doesn't believe in God, he said he started to worship the sun, because like praying to God, he'd get what he wanted 50% of the time anyway. Then he decided to pray to Joe Pesci instead, which also got him what he wanted 50% of the time. After that, he would say "Joe Bless You" and "Thank Joe" just like you said, "Thank Dog". Sometimes when I sneeze, Eddie will say "Joe Bless You" Cracks me up every time! And perhaps while in Hell, you could pick up our tarps for us and then meet us in a more convenient location so we don't have to go there to get them! :) CAPTCHA: Pickells Halpin (His real name was Johnny Halpin, the youngest of the Halpin brothers, but everyone west of the holler called him Pickells. If'n you was wonderin why the two l's, I caint tell ya. Only Pickells knows and he ain't tellin' neither.)
