I had the pleasure of delivering her to her new Forever Home a couple of days ago. She walked right in and took over.

She's gorgeous!
You're not kidding, though. This is one of mine as well.
I helped foster Linus (his name was Peyton), and this little dog is awesome, and to see him make some little boy so happy just makes it almost seem selfish, fostering pups. That dog came from a high kill shelter, and now he has a best friend for life.

Yeah, I thought about doing the Wiki thing, thought I'd rather open a conversation.
I could tell you a lot about why I like Skyrim - and some of my other favorite games. But it would probably require a separate thread. Or a hide in this one.

I'd totally play Skyrim if it wasn't for the spiders. They make any game unplayable for me, that's how bad my phobia is

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

There are mods for that. They change the spiders to wolves or bears.

I get a lot of pleasure discovering a tv series, podcast series, or things like that.
It's good when you have a break from one, come back and realize there's loads just been released that you haven't seen.
I just did this today with Louis theroux's documentary series. 3 Whole new episodes I hadn't seen. I felt like a fat kid whose face has just flopped down onto a whole mess of chocolate cake, I just gorged for hours.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Going through a whole day w/o conflict, especially from my stupidity. Seems rarer and rarer.

Oooh this happened to me today when I saw that Answer Me This came back from hiatus. Just not worried about it then open my podcatcher and whoop! there's a new AMT.

Sleeping in on Saturday morning.
Which I wish I could do, I am able... I'm just not able,  My body clock gets into a mode and even though I do not have to get up at 6am on the weekends I still wake up at 6am, it suckith. But I remember what sleeping in was like and it makes me smile.

...and apparently posting in the wrong thread is up there, too.
