I am Rip Van Thomcat. I sleep away the ages, and then wake
to see what has changed. So, tell me, what has changed since last I was awake? :P

Um... don't ask me, I'm a cynical pessimist tonight.

I stood up for my own needs, but it feels pretty shitty anyway. :(

20. I'm sorry. They seemed nice.
It should be possible to be friends and the landlord too. But that's difficult. :(

4. Going back to bed might be the safest thing to do, considering.

10. When the fatigue hits, there is nothing I want more. I crave more sleep.
But I really want to be wake. I'm tired of sleeping away my life. :)

So, I'm here to face the confusion and chaos. I might even venture into GD-P for a bit. :P

13. That's a deal.
Let me double check these knots and make sure this is a strong rope.

Last time I went in there someone was spitting acid and tried to eat the rope. :P

12. So, um, the whole world is in suspended animation by you...
Yeah, winter sort of does that. That's not such a bad thing, as long as it ends at some point. :)

I hope you're well. I'm very glad you're back in your own home. :hug:

14. They say that about every Democrat. If they say it louder about
Obama than any of the previous Democrats it's only a measure of racism. I'm glad we can laugh at it. Often that's the best weapon we have against it. :)

23. I am very, very glad you're a good enough driver to still be alive.
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Please stay in tonight, stay warm, and in the future carry a cell phone so you can call the police on the road.

I hope you called the police anyway to at least describe the car and tell them to scout the area.

24. I have a cel, but I couldn't concentrate on it, the slippery roads and that car
at the same time. :(

Had I gotten a better description of it I would have called the police, but since I passed another similarly shaped maroon/red car the minute I got into town I figured it was pointless this time. They were out of sight by the time I got home, could have gone any number of directions. This is a little town out in the country, once they changed directions they could have been miles away by the time I got home.

26. Dude! Am not talking to you until you take a bath and shave!
and brush what teeth you have left while you're at it!






Geez! The nerve of some people!

They wake up and want to talk, get all cozy and right in your face with conversation and questions all before breakfast and everything! :eyes:


PS You missed another GoPsUx Friday night pic thread :hide:

30. One of my kitties, Silver, has gotten into the habit
of grooming my hair every night. He lays down on my pillow and licks my hair from one end of my head to the other. Does that count?
:P

Don't worry. I may not shave as often now that I'm not working, but I'm definitely getting clean before I see anyone face to face. :)

Silver's new habit gives me the worst case of bed head. :rofl:

31. I am very, very glad you are both okay.
:hug:

Please don't get in any more car accidents! You're too important to lose! :cry:

I'm mostly okay. I sleep more hours than I'm awake, and I'm losing weight, and I'm very, very poor, and that's all very stressful. But I'm managing so far. If I can make it through the next six months I should be okay. :)

39. I hope it's beautiful.
That's the one consolation with snow. :)

:hi:

I haven't been able to get out of my house, so I haven't even seen it yet. But tomorrow I'm not only going outside, I'm going away on vacation to someplace south of all the snow!

I hope the roads aren't too icy. I've been hearing horrible weather reports. Please think really good thoughts for tomorrow! :(
