I recommend a healthy punting session. Small children will suffice just as much as gnomes.

She's four.
And is my cousin's kid. That makes us second cousins or something. And her grandmother's downstairs.
She packs a wallop with the hoover.
The sister's in for a world of pain though . . .

With the hoover? Dear god, okay, use mental torture. Slowly make her wish that you'd done something to her... make her paranoid.
Sister = Whallop to your heart's content.

I think it's cousin once removed. But I'm not entirely certain on that. I could ask my parents if I was that bothered, they'd know since they do geneology and stuff.
I've never had problems with cousins or siblings, so I wouldn't really know how to deal with it. Generally I just shove smaller children at my sister and she manages to amuse them

Re: Mrmud's Mixed-Up and Minimally Mechanized Random Banter #121
Yeah, first cousin once removed. Any children of your sister would consider your cousin to be their 2nd cousin.
So I've just discovered the literary/figurative betrayal that'll go along with the mythology behind the goddess of literature. :smallwink:
Have you any way to lure her out of your room and then close the door so as to keep anyone from getting back into there without being noticed?

Someone tell me to quit jacking around and start writing.
If I don't respond, it's because I've already done so.

So apparently, if I ever want it to rain, all I have to do is hang my freaking laundry out to dry.
*sigh*
I give up.

Set up a clothesline and a dehumidifier in your bathroom?
Or hire out your services to local farmers?

Don't give up! You could make big bucks as a celebrity psychic rain predictor!

Re: Mrmud's Mixed-Up and Minimally Mechanized Random Banter #121
That reminds me... :smallfrown: I was walking my dog this morning and there was a dead groundhog on the side of the road... just laying on its back with its eyes glazed over and its body all bloaty...
It made me sad. Also it freaked me out because I heard some thrashing around there the night before when I was walking the dog... and I almost stepped on it before I noticed it lying there in the grass next to some branches.
Now I'm sad again and need a hug.

I dunno. Perhaps I'm perverse, but that actually sounds kinda cool.
I guess I just don't have much animal empathy. I mean, if it was a dead human, you can bet I'd need a goddamn hug, but a groundhog wouldn't do it for me.
-
Re: Mrmud's Mixed-Up and Minimally Mechanized Random Banter #121
It was more how it was so dead and bloated and the eyes... the eye stared into my soul.
And I guess I'm more sad and emotional than usual anyway.

That was...a little strange.
And by "a little", I mean "a lot".

Re: Mrmud's Mixed-Up and Minimally Mechanized Random Banter #121
Animal empathy is hard to obtain, harder the farther the animal is from human consciousness. For instance, insects are very rarely mourned by humans, although this can be subverted in anthropomorphized depictions such as "A Bug's Life." Human sympathy can reach out easily to other humans, vaguely to animals proven to have cognitive abilities similar to our own, such as dolphins or chimps, and almost not at all to lesser animals such as rodents. There are, of course, exceptions, within individual people and individual genus of animals.
Also, I once saw a rotting squirrel by the swing set when I was little. Me and my friend stared at it for quite some time.

I'm sorry. There's nothing you could do about it though.

I always wondered what the moral of something like The Ant Bully was. Exterminators are bad, play with bugs? (don't pick on people smaller than you blah blah)

Protip: 99% of morals in children's movies are obligatory BS.

Re: Mrmud's Mixed-Up and Minimally Mechanized Random Banter #121
Indeed, I think I was mostly just a bit freaked out due to almost tripping and falling face first into it, having to keep my dog from trying to eat it, and wondering about what had killed it due to the lack of injury or apparent ravages of disease.
And seeing groundhog22 post. Sorta all swirled together there. Sorry guys, I lost control.
*hugs recaiden back*

Around here, the approach to laundry seems to be "hang the laundry out to dry, rain or shine, and take it down once the rain lets up for an hour and a half". Inside the houses are closets known as "airing cupboards", which are stuffy and a trifle hotter than the rest of the house, and thus considered a perfect place to dry the laundry indoors. Tumble dryers are a luxury. Why this entire country doesn't have a cloud of mildew hanging over it, I have no idea. If you left the laundry out, wash it again at the next-highest temperature.

Nothing like coffee prepared the very old fashioned way.
I'm talking about pour the grounds into the cup and following up with hot water. Mmmmm.... that's strong!
No creamer or sugar. I'm a bit hyper this morning... Hopefully I won't crash until lunch...

I would much rather suck it until it softens up. That way it wont hurt my throat when I swallow... or the inside of my mouth.
EDIT: No one make a joke about the way that sounds. :smallannoyed:

You know what I mean!
