Learned a new word from Aftertaste, Season 1.

Cockwomble.

Noun. cockwomble (countable and uncountable, plural cockwombles) (UK, slang, derogatory) A foolish or obnoxious person.

Good to know!

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

The Zoom was with Daniel, the recipient of one of our first puppies that we raised for Guiding Eyes for the Blind.

It was a wonderful reunion. His current guide dog is named Boon - a black lab.

Sweet!

My goodness, DR George. If you factored in all the gas and mileage, I wonder how much your plumbing job actually cost? Let alone your personal time.

I'm sure it adds up, but the Home Depot is less than two miles from my house, so I don't mind too much.  Also, it's still a f*ck of a lot less than if I had to pay a professional to do any of this.

I forgot to use it in a sentence. Donald Trump is a cockwomble.

I am just about to go on a Zoom meeting, actually.

I took a few swigs. How about you?

The leaking pipe has a gasket-like end that goes into the other pipe, so hopefully just retightening it will prevent anymore leaks. ::)

I don't get how we're still on page seven. And not that far either.

Well, there's time, I suppose, but not if there are rabbit holes and no TCB. I believe it's been three days since he's appeared here and of course people are concerned.

Of course, it seems as if George has gone down his usual late night rabbit hole.
