I witnessed an awesome moment between my naturopathic vet and one of my beasts.

For a split second I thought you said breasts. :laugh:
That would not be awesome as I have zero attraction to him :laugh:

It would have been totally awesome if you posted pics. :M

Probably not. I'm so burned out I'm looking pretty haggard these days. Even my breasts are probably tired. :laugh:

Pictures of the beast and the vet, of course. Remember, this is a family oriented site.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

... and most often those varying interests and situations are not easy to resolve or define or even quantify.

The IT/secretarial lady at work has been away for two weeks now so I'm filling in for her on some of her duties, such as in this case invoicing our fees to clients.
And for this past week alone I have invoiced the equivalent of my annual salary :zombiefuck:

Neighbours are replacing their existing deck with stamped concrete and the machinery is so loud it makes it sound like they're doing work on the roof of my house.

I had some boxes of things delivered today and I realized as the delivery guy was putting them in my front hall, he was ever so slowly building a wall between him and the dog. I pointed out if that was his intention and he said "Hell yes, that's a big ass dog ma'am." :laugh:

First Japanese wineberries were ripe today. There are a couple of plants (Rubus phoenicolasius) in the garden and I ate the first three of them today. Like them.

The new neighbors above are a noisy bunch. 

But only in the evening, and you can't hear it in the house.  :thumbup:

...and they have a cute little weiner dog that likes to chase my rabbits.  :thumbup:

...and they set off fireworks last night.  :thumbup:

...and they obviously love country music.  :zombiefuck:

3 out of 4 isn't bad I guess.

I cannot fault your tastes there lutra. I've had those, and there are a couple of places where they grow locally in big sprawling thickets. Been wanting to try both making jam/preserve from them and fermenting them into alcohol and, after of course stripping the 'heads' and redistilling that to render the methanol-containing fraction suitable for solvent purposes, to end up with something drinkable, tasty and highly flammable. 

Been wondering how the berries of sea buckthorn (which unlike those of common buckthorn and alder-buckthorn are not toxic, or powerful purgatives, but whilst they are very tart and quite acidic, have an excellent flavour that I think would go just lovely in a spirit distilled from the two fruits) might perform, using the sweetness of the wineberries to balance the natural sourness of the sea-buckthorn. The latter are really pretty tart, but the flavour is good, very aromatic and they are quite fine to simply strip from the bushes and pop into one's mouth. Very, very very high in vitamin C as well (the sea-buckthorn). Little round orange, slightly speckled things about the size of a BB pellet, and really quite tasty)

Something like that, maybe fermenting the starches in quinces to alcohol as well, to benefit from the aromatic flavour of quince fruit (here they are only edible after being processed into something like a jelly or jam, else they are full of the most delightful scent but rock hard and quite utterly inedible off the bush in this climate). Made some 'quince cheese' back in my Kanner's autie school, like smooth marmalade basically and it was really good. Didn't seem to last nearly as long as the fair quantity made implied it should, which says it all really. Delish, and tasty enough to eat straight out of the tub with a spoon.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

I do not do well sitting in one place directing people. It's driving me batshit. I would much rather be the one doing the work when it's something I would normally be more than capable of doing. Although my kids are doing their best packing. They're awesome.
