DR Laura - they seem to be a few plywood panels short of a picnic.

And speaking of mixed metaphors...    Am I the only one who finds the term chicken-fried steak confusing? What does it have to do with chicken, really?

Here are some suggested phrases for testing a microphone (instead of "testing, 1, 2, 3...")

    • The small pup gnawed a hole in the sock.
    • The fish twisted and turned on the bent hook.
    • Press the pants and sew a button on the vest.
    • The swan dive was far short of perfect.
    • The beauty of the view stunned the young boy.
    • Two blue fish swam in the tank.
    • Her purse was full of useless trash.

    I called the number for the Human Rights Agency I was given: Mail box is full.  I have the feeling this organization is today's albatross.

    Monday morning greetings!

    Ginny, another possibility is that a hawk chased prey into the window and then took it after it hit the window.

    That’s a very plausible explanation, DR Laura, because we found a small dead bird underneath the window when we were cleaning up the broken glass.  We didn’t think it was big enough to do that kind of damage.

    DR Ginny, is the window that broke situated across from another window on the opposite side of the house, where it might look to a bird like a pass-through?

    I saw the trailer for the new Tom Hanks movie the other day.  I didn't realize it was a remake of a Swedish movie.  Thanks for the heads-up, BK.  I'm going to watch "A Man Called Ove."

    DR Singdaw, there are picture windows on the back of the house, too, but it’s not a direct shot.

    Between the broken window, the torn-up family room, and the dead dryer, I’m feeling like our house is out to get us.

    Enjoying a somewhat late start today.

    But the fun begins soon enough. I need to haul my ASS into getting showered and dressed and on my way to get some drums out of the theeder.

    DR Ginny, that is shocking, and would have to be pretty scary, that a window actually got broken from that.

    We have bird strikes, too, and sometimes they sound like a pretty hard hit. But I'll go out expecting to find the victim without much difficulty, and...nothing. Nathan knows birds, and he says they survive hits like that and fly away immediately much more often than you'd imagine.

    As it happens, the director I'd want to work with has no interest in tackling Rocky Horror. He likes it fine, he just doesn't want to do it himself. I will do my best to get him to look at Brain sometime.
