Wow, that is a long time.
You're like the Akashic records, Sarah.

I get that a lot.






Actually, I had to look up "Akashic." :o

There is an art to successful searching, and sometimes skill as well. Bladeforums' search functions are idiosyncratic at best, broken at worst (which has become commonplace since recent site/server issues and attempted fixes-- pages, subforums, and threads no longer index properly, leading to maddeningly frustrating Search fails).

As always, the very best way to find something here is to have seen it before, to have a starting point of knowing that it's here somewhere! In this instance, I remembered reading about the startling developments regarding a once-upstanding member of our online community, and recognized the thread title in my search results.

Thanks, all.

They say the last stage before "sage" is "old fart".
Oh Cool! I'm almost a sage!

Is that a Manchester, Sarah? Cute pup!

Thanks for the kind words about my wee doggit, all. Her very present Presence is good for me in so many ways....

"Manchester"-- well, I'll be: this is the first I've heard that of breed, let alone in connection with her. Having googled "Manchester terrier," I can see the possibility!

She's a rescue, so nothing is for sure, but I believe Chihuahua/MinPin mix is still the most likely, with a sneak strain of dachshund. [After she was rescued from Georgia, a certain unfortunate encounter with a non-neutered purebred chihuahua resulted in her becoming a baby momma to a litter of pups-- four tiny chihuahua males, and one massive dachshund daughter...!] So, "Chipin" is the most understandable when speaking to most, but I throw out a "chidoxpin" every now and then. :D


And, as it turns out: High-maintenance, stubborn, smartsmart, deeply unsharing, selective, fiercely loving (and surprisingly generous towards) those who make the cut.

But enough about me; here's my dog, again:

(People who know me laugh out loud when I start to describe my dog....)

I looked Akashic up too, to make sure I spelled it right. Not a word one uses every day.
 
My son gave us some deer meat including a nice roast so it being a cold rainy day this morning my wife said if I would cube the roast she would make a pot of stew. So as I had a peanut in my pocket I set in cutting up the roast. Now as useful as a peanut is I don't recommend it for butchering duty. However it did complete the task and Ann slow cooked the stew all day and made biscuit cake which is a huge biscuit made in a 1/4 cake pan just break off what you want. Delicious and I am stuffed.
 
Me and my big mouth.

And if the Zombie Apocalypse comes while you're in the middle of opening your prezzies, you've got half a chance of having it off with them!* :D
