After another noisy night, I gave up on sleep at about 3:00 AM, and figured, as long as I was hating the night, I might as well do something to really hate it.  As you will see, change my name to Ulysses, so you can call me Useless for short.

Today’s took me 2:45 (average 5:20).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

  1. Thanks for the reminder that I should do my laundry today!

  2. 3:52 average still 5:20. 

    Honestly, no sleep sucks big time.  So sorry.

    My Archie (also a tuxie) used to sit in our front-load dryer like that when he was a kitten and say things like "Beam me up, Scotty" (or, frantically when we pulled him out, "Mr. Chekov, you have the con!!!"  I'm only exaggerating a little.  Archie sisn't really speak English, but he was so expressive with the resources he did have that you could have put him in a room with 50 people, asked them all to write down what they thought he was saying, (no consultaion) and the answers would hardly differ.  He also led a full and rich fantasy life."

    I mentioned Ret. Justice Stevens yesterday regarding the Second Amendment, and I think I even mentioned today is his birthday (it's his 95th).  I didn't, however, because I didn't then know, mention that there is a public e-burthday-card gathering signatures to wish him well.  It's at http://act.endcitizensunited.org/Happy-Birthday

    The United Houma Nation is a native American tribe native to the Gulf area who have, like everyone else, suffered from the Deepwater Horizon spill.  But they are unable to claim damages because they have never been recognized by the US Government, though they have been trying since Christ was a corporal in the Roman Army.  A petition for their recognition is at http://actionnetwork.org/petitions/grant-federal-recognition-to-the-united-houma-nation   The petition has a small goal, and signatures are not adding very fast.  I would surely like to see a huge outpouring of support for them.

  3. My cats think the washer and dryer are aliens! They won’t get near them and that is great!

  4. Ah, the dreaded laundry.  That would ruin your whole day since you hate it so much.

  5. I just want to add, be careful if your cat loves the dryer.  My neighbor's cat did , too, and she accidentally got in the dryer with wet clothes, no one saw her, and she died.  It can be very dangerous.  Mine hate the laundry,(they must be related to TC) so I don't have a problem.

    • I have always been afraid of something like that happening so I have been careful not to encourage any curiosity near washing machines or driers with my cats.  Oh your neighbours with their poor darling cat – the family must have felt unspeakably awful…

  6. 2:57  Medinilla magnifica, or more commonly known as the Philippine Orchid, is beautiful but I am not sure if it would make a satisfying salad for Puddy Tat.

    Cartoon — My chore for tomorrow.  I know I will look about as bright and cheerful as you do. On the other hand, the weather is heating up (we had 26 C (79 F) today with a light breeze) so I assume you'll be taking up the ID of your alter ego, "the nekked blogger", before too long. That should reduce the amount of laundry a bit!

  7. Signed card. Signed petition and is now up to 1170 signers.

    Thanks, Joanne.

  8. Poor TC – having another bad night is just hideous!  I don't disllike laundry as I can remember having to do laundry by hand in the bath when a washing maching broke down and I couldn't afford a new one – so I am so grateful for washing machines!

     

  9. Thnks all.  pooped.  hugs.
