* Sara's been sick this week. She got into the full kitchen trash while we were at the cabane a sucre and who knows what she consumed. She's peed and shat twice in the house since then. Day before yesterday, when I woke up at 2am to go pee, I stepped in a pile of her cold diarrhea. That stirred up the stench and I started doing the gagging dance, hopping on one foot with a pee boner. Then I cleaned it up alternately furious and worried about the pooch. When I got home yesterday from work, she had left another liquid mess on my dirty clothes next to the bed. Serge used it as an opportunity to say, "That's why you put your clothes in the hamper."
* I read about the top ten interview mistakes from an informal survey of HR managers. My two favorites were: The candidate asked the interviewer for a ride home after the interview. The candidate smelled his armpits on the way to the interview room.
* Has anyone used that new (at least to me) detergent that is for washing black garments? Supposed to prevent fading. Does it work?
* And how do you make bold and italics in the comments (I try to use the tags but it always says it's wrong.). And how do you respond to a comment within the same comment. I see other bloggers do this, so I feel stupid that I don't know how.
* My entire revenue for March went to my income tax payment. Mailed it yesterday. Sigh.
* Got some great news, our friend Bob is joining us on the Mediterranean cruise. We cruised together last time and had an absolute ball together. Everybody talks to Bob and vice versa. It's like a non-stop show around him. Last time, one night at dinner, the old guy next to Bob (what was his darn name...) was talking about his open heart surgery. Dinner time is supposed to be a classy affair in the dining room on a cruise ship. Bob said, "I bet that left quite a scar!" Then the old guy unbuttoned his shirt to show Bob the scar, much to the horror of the old guy's wife and daughter beside him. The old guy also told Bob that God loved him and the proof was that he was on this cruise. I hope we have more quirky dinner mates this time too.
* Here is my cuss o meter rating for the blog:

I'm sorry about your taxes !My repayments was in the mailbox yesterday : 1600.00$ Coolll!!! I'll pay you a tub of "poutine" at Costo!! If you want !!
BOLD
As you can see I was testing up there. I'll email you the sequence because if I do it here, it won't show up.
I too do not know how to reply within comments. It'll be interesting to see if we can get that answered!

Now, there's an image!!!
Your Cuss-O-Meter is very low compared to some I've seen. Just be glad it was not a Poop-o-meter.
If you wash your Black clothes in cold water you won't need the special anti-fading stuff.
So sorry to hear about Sara. She feels bad that she is causing trouble in her old age. Wouldn't her pile of Poop be easier to clean up on a pile of dirty clothes than on the rug? Ed
Damn it, my fucking blog has a 0% cuss level? What the hell???
Must work on that. Soon.
If this works... it goes like this:
[b][i]If this works...[/i][/b]
Replacing the "[]" with <>".
I don't think blogger lets you comment within a comment. It is one of the myriad of reasons I left them 1-1/2 years ago.
Oh, and I hope Sara is okay!
Poor Sara, I've to watch the garbage pail closely as Bella has the same tendency in spite of some very stern lectures regarding the matter. She always seems to understand, until the next time the garbage calls out in the night to her.
As for the cloths on the floor issue, it works both ways. One reason to keep the cloths on the floor is to make the clean up easier, the counter argument is equally valid though. Another thought is she found a good spot on the floor where clothing was piled opposed to the bed!
I've to complete my tax work this weekend, I dread seeing the total owed this year. I suppose it'll come and go easily enough.

I think it's a sport, getting dinner mates to do strange things! I once got an elderly chap to take off his rug during a fancy rehearsal dinner! Ha ha. Never saw any scars at the table, though...
You can't blame the poor old girl for trying to scam some extra food!The cruise sounds fabulous!
And now, I'm off to the cuss meter, I bet I get at least 30%, I have such a potty mouth!
I haven't heard of the laundry soap but I'd like to try it. I have many gray/formerly black items of clothing.
Poor Sara. She needs some cheese to counterbalance stuff. I roared at Serge's comment. Sounds just like me.
Huh. I got 57%. WTF? Also, it was 613% more than other websites who took this test. I feel like a motherfucking prodigy.
I'm very sorry to hear about Sara's illness, but on the plus side, it sounds like she made sure that you experienced some of what you missed by skipping the Black Party.
I think if I'd been you, I'd have thrown something at Serge. Perhaps the soiled clothing.
My cuss rating is lower than yours...crazy. I guess it's all the shit talk you have. :)
Stepping on cold doggie diarrhea...ew....not only does that sounds disgusting, I think it added to your cuss rating.
Although the hopping on one foot, gagging with a pee boner really did make me laugh. :)
HUGS...
The black party thing is totally beyond me. No interest at all.
My cuss-o-meter rating is 0%. As I commented to Java, wouldn't Focus on the Family love me?!
I bold by highlighting the text I want bolded and then clicking on the b in the list of items right above the blog typing window. (It gives a choice of Font, letter size, b, i, letter colour etc. ... in that order).
Have a good weekend, Torn. I hope Sara feels better soon.
I tried to Cuss-O-Meter on mine and it said Zero which tells me that damn thing is busted!
Poor Sara and POOR YOU! I'd puke a dozen pails of barf if I stepped in the poo. Ahhh who am I kidding, I might gag a little but probably not produce.
-Rox
You had me gagging and laughing at the same time: not an easy accomplishment. Poor Sara. If she ate a lot of sugary stuff, that might explain the gastric distress. But if it keeps up, you'd better see the vet.
Hey, are you going to be able to blog on your cruise? I can't imagine going that long without you!
Pauvre Sara.
Whenever my dog did the same, I would remind myself that someday I might need the compassion of another in my time of need.
And forget the raves, they are just for stupid fags who are still destroying themselves with the chemical of the day. I was reading over on JMG how his friends would sedate themselves in order to sleep throughout the day, then take Ecstasy or Vitamin K so they could dance all night at the black party. That is just F***'ed up. So self-destructive.
I'm surprised with your love of poo and bowel movements that the hi-jinks of the Black Party would bother you. There not my thing per se, but it didn't shock me to see that stuff going on. Although I'm glad I didn't see the guy hanging from meathooks.
Hope Sara feels better soon.
Can we call you "stinky foot" from now on?
I am sorry to hear about Sara and her loss of bowel control.
I don't know how people respond to comments within comments.
Great blog. Yeah, that black party seems to just want to offend with no point.
Sorry to hear about what Sarah has been going through. But your description of you heading into the bathroom and what you encountered had to make me squirm....just a little. I haven't used that new detergent. I'm not very particular. If something starts to fade, time to buy new. People responding within comments is a Wordpress thing. I had wondered the same thing Torn when I was at Blogger, but quickly found out when I switched to Wordpress. Sounds like you guys are going to have a helluva time on the cruise. I'll have to try out the Cuss-o-meter, too. Have a fabu weekend!
Really? You don't think it would be a spectacle to see someone stick a baseball bat up their butt? LOL...
Sorry about Sara.
Mark :-)
I've always had a penchant for the trashier side of 'our lifestyle' but the description of the Black Party I read left me limp. Yech. That sure ain't my lifestyle.
At least some of the bloggers that can make comments within comments are using HaloScan to do so. Check it out.
5.3 on the cussing. Very low, its says.
I don't have many poop stories, but I've been known to use the F word.
I'm such a wimp.
Hmmm cold runny shit between your toes...good thing you were heading for the toilet, it would be the one place I'd need to hit if I stood in it. I been cleaning up cat chuck the past few weeks & it isn't too pleasant either...
Cuss-o-meter...LOL
And ermmmm "Black Party" sure sounds ominous!
Keep black clothes black...
1. Don't wash them much
2. Don't use the dryer
3. Definitely don't dry them in sunlight
4. I've used the black liquid washes. I don't know if they help or not but they're better than harsher detergents
however, eventually stuff fades. I just buy new black t-shirts every year.
I haven't tried that black laundry stuff because I tend to look better in whites and light colors but I would LOVE to know what kind of a washer and dryer you guys have! I love Laundry Porn!
That Black Party nonsense...Yaaawwwwnnn! whatever. Sounded like a bunch of old people trying to act "alternative and artsy" by taking shock value to the extreme. It's all been done before.
Been using a special detergent for black clothes.... its in liquid form and color red... it works... can't read the label... its in arabic
Pee boner is my term of the week.
I tried a detergent for dark clothes. I then found a review on Consumers Reports:
"The claim. Cheer Dark Formula "helps prevent black and other dark colored clothes from fading in the wash."
The check. We washed black swatches of 100 percent cotton knits and poplin five times in three detergents--Cheer Dark Formula, Cheer ColorGuard, and a "green" detergent, Seventh Generation Free & Clear. We did five washes per detergent, using identical machines and water of the same hardness and temperature (cold). Two testers compared the washed swatches with remnants of the original material under artificial daylight.
The bottom line. Polite applause but no special cheers for Cheer. All three detergents kept black clothes from fading noticeably. In earlier tests on dirty laundry, Cheer Dark Formula cleaned well, so you might consider it for that reason, but it costs about 32 cents per wash load, somewhat more than many other choices. Best for dark clothes: a detergent that cleans well, fits your budget, and, like Cheer Dark, lacks optical brighteners, which can make dark fabric look dusty."
wow, hope Sara is feeling better, I told the husband that we needed to get a kitchen trashcan with a lid, preferrebly a foot operated model
