Just. Wow.

[Monkey Face]

Awww... floof.

I don’t want to be up, but it would seem my body is ignoring me, so here I am.

I fell asleep around 1830 and with the exception of a number of trips to the euphemism, I slept most of the night, with lots of dreams to entertain me.

Now I need to go get the clothes out of the bathroom and put them away, and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

Morning, TC
I’m siding with Kittie on that subject. :)

[Monkey Face]

Steam Punk kittehs are the BEST! Thanks!

[Tax-chick]

Great pictures.

My family members are annoying this morning.

[NicknamedBob]

The “goggles” are Electrical-Metallic-Tubing (EMT) connectors, tube to electrical box. Clever usage!

[Monkey Face]

I thought they looked familiar! And I agree...very clever usage.

[Monkey Face]

I’m annoyed this morning by inanimate objects, and would like to take one in particular and toss it in the dumpster. However, I will, instead, get some modeling clay and make a minor repair to it until a replacement part arrives. Hopefully, it will be before the next time I wash clothes. That gives them two weeks to exhibit their splendid customer service. :o|

[Tax-chick]

I have so many animate objects that it’s hard to be too angry at the inanimate ... although I’m getting pretty enraged with the coffee maker, which is showing a “Clean Me” light even after I cleaned it.

I blame engineers.

[NicknamedBob]

"I blame engineers."

DP should be already aware that you have a simmering rage against incompetent engineers. That is undoubtedly why he treads cautiously around you.

[Tax-chick]

I don’t think they’re incompetent: I think they’re actively out to drive normal people into blithering catatonia. BWahahahahahaha!

[Monkey Face]

Since I only make coffee two to three times a week, I run vinegar through the machine once a month, just in case there is some mold growing in the water that’s left in the reservoir. And since it’s a Keurig, it only holds water, not coffee. One of the things I like about it. :o]

[Tax-chick]

It boils, so it sterilizes before it brews. Also, spores are good for us.

[Monkey Face]

...I think they’re actively out to drive normal people into blithering catatonia. BWahahahahahaha!

I wholeheartedly agree!

(Igor should be here to insert his .02 cents worth, though I'm sure it would end up being $1.72 worth...)

[Monkey Face]

It boils, so it sterilizes before it brews. Also, spores are good for us.

Except that the spores here are particularly nasty, not only to inhale (causing grave illnesses) but taste positively disgusting when mixed with coffee. And they can then go on to cause other illnesses...

[Tax-chick]

Bill got the light to go off, proving the superior utility of business-persons over engineers. The coffee pot is still usable, proving the superior utility (at least in this case) of business-persons over bears, such as Tom, who would have broken it.

Tom doesn’t have class today, so he’s off with one of his friends who is home from college. Sure is peaceful ...

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

Well, I do declare! Certain things are best left to business persons and certain other things should be the bailiwick of the bears of the world. They all have their places, and in this case, oddly, in the same family.

Laurel and Hardy come to mind... ;o]

ArGee ~ "And why isn’t onomatopoeia spelled the way it sounds?"

NicknamedBob ~ 'Cause nobody knows how to pronounce it, and therefore nobody knows what it should sound like.

Until they hear it, and then it's too late...

(What's brown and sounds like a bell?)
