Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Battle won, war still ongoing.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

The words do not have to be perfect.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

This blog will pay for itself.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Submit Your 2021 Pet Calendar Pics by Oct 15

by | 39 Comments

This post is in: , ,

Since there’s nothing else going on (!!!) maybe this would be a good time to go through your photos and submit your pics for the 2021 BJ Pet Calendar.

21 people have started the process by sending in their email, and we have 75 pet names for the calendar so far!

Just send email to pet-calendar or to watergirl.  If you need more info about the exact email addresses, check out Contact Us in the white bar up top, for details.

Seeing someone yawn is supposed to be relaxing, so Henry is here to help you shift gears.

I actually caught myself yawning as I added Henry as the featured image, so that apparently isn’t just an old wives tale.

…..

Cliff Notes, in case you missed the Pet Calendar post:

Here’s the Plan:

Calendars will be available to order by *December 1. That’s the hope/plan, anyway!

Beth needs time to work with the pics on the design, so fair warning: we have to be tough about deadlines in order to have the calendars available to order by December 1.

Please get your pet pics in by October 15, which is less than two weeks from today.

Extension through Nov 1 are available if your pet is dressing up for Halloween, IF you let us know ahead of time, and IF you get us your pics the next day.

For non dress-up pets, you get an extension through Nov 1, but please let us know by Oct 15 that you plan to send photos in.

We have a new system this year. 

It’s a 4-step process, start to finish.  (for you)

  1. start the process by sending an email message
  2. use the link we supply to upload your files
  3. check for your nym and names of your pets in the spreadsheet we’ll post on BJ
  4. notify us if anything is incorrect

Details will be sent to you by email once you send the email with your nym and pet names.

    I’m enjoying JeffreyW’s crew as October calendar girls/guys (Homer, Bitsy, and the dog whose name I can’t remember right now).

    Has anyone heard from raven? I’ve been thinking about him.

    Is that huge tongue due the perspective?

    If not, that thing could easily replace two hands and opposable thumbs.

    The line of Henry could replace us humans if we continue destroying ourselves. They’ll have to fight it out with the water bears, though.

    Edit: I assume the calendar will have a Tunchpic. And I request one image of one of Cole’s cute porch birdy nests with mouth gaping youngins.

    @zhena gogolia:  I’m around, we’re the beach and Bohdi has taken a turn for the worse. We don’t know if he fell while we were unloading, the 7 hr ride messed him up or it’s the normal progression for a 16 year old dog. I have a harness that let’s me lift him and get him outside so were trying to deal and not freak out. He is eating so that’s good.

    Referencing both Henry and My Favorite Year from a recent-ish thread:

    They’re not serving tongue at lunch today, are they Leo? No tongue on show day. Twice they served tongue on show day, twice the opening sketch died… No tongue, get it? No tongue. Tongue, death…

    @Raven: Wow, that’s beautiful!

    Oh, no, on the Bohdi.  Hopefully it’s something that will pass.  Does he have pain meds for arthritis or anything you can give him to see if that helps?

    WaterGirl

    @Raven: Why my guys have been on rimadyl, it was “as needed”.  If the Bohdi doesn’t take it regularly, I imagine you already gave it to him today?

    Is there any chance he could be weirded out because Lil Bit is not there with you?

    Raven

    @WaterGirl: Well, he may be picking up our grieving but this is more physical. One of our vets said a year ago “we’re going full court press now”.  We were told not to let him do this and that and we decided to let him live his life and not torture him with a bunch of restrictions. Was that right? We think so and we may pay the price.

    @jl: Your comment reminded me of one of the dogs that lived with us in the first house a bunch of us shared in college, right out of the dorms.

    There was an ice cream store within walking distance and we would take the dog.  He always got a cone, too.  He would literally lick the ice cream the way a human would, get down to the top of the cone, chew around the crunchy part until he got to more ice cream, like the ice cream, etc.

    Just like a human!  Good boy!

    @Raven: He’s a dog and you wanted to let him get to be a dog.  Seems like the right decision to me.

    The timing couldn’t possibly be worse, it would be unthinkable to lose him now, too, but you’re not there yet.  Lots of ways this could turn out okay,

    Still, your plan to let him have his happy life has been a good one, so don’t sweat that.

    @Raven:

    It’s right. Animals can’t read books and watch movies. Their physical life is it. They should enjoy it.

    @WaterGirl: Of course I didn’t read the directions (hey, it’s genetic), but maybe you’ll forgive the photo attached to the email.  ;^)

    Hi – I hate to ask something that’s probably obvious that I’ve overlooked, but what are the email addresses for the pet calendar and/or Water Girl? Thanks!

  27. 27.

    WaterGirl

    PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR PICS BY EMAIL.

    SEND AN EMAIL AND I WILL SEND YOU A LINK (AND INSTRUCTIONS SO YOU CAN UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS.

    Pretty please!

    Let me say that the boy managed to come out on the screen porch and beg during dinner. A very good sign.

    WaterGirl

    @HinTN: I did not receive an email message from you.  So obviously no photo, either.

    Can you send me an email and I’ll mail out the link and the instructions?

    The name of your pets, also, please.

    @WaterGirl: Audible added a plus option where you can listen to some books without buying them and it’s been borked off and on ever since. I don’t think they have the bugs ironed out yet.
