 Cute puppy source

We just had our first real* snow fall, so I thought this cute pup was perfect. *For those who live in warmer climates: Snow that stays and doesn't melt immediately.


Awesome:
♦An interview with the amazing seamstress for American Horror Story
♦America's First Cat Cafe.  The best part is that they have adoptable shelter cats available!
♦I love AbFab!
♦Sparkling water is the best.
♦Amazing miniature library

Cuteness:
♦Kitten cuteness overload  Purritos!!!
♦Shedd Aquarium took in a rescue sea otter pup! She is so dang cute!!!

Creepy:

Quiz:
♦Modern art...or garbage? I didn't do very well on the quiz :P

WTF:
♦Starbucks new dress codes; Tattoos acceptable, Wedding Rings nope.
I can understand not allowing rings for sanitary reasons...although I don't really think of Starbucks as a food producing entity. I am guessing most of their food items come in pre-made, and frozen. I really doubt they have someone mixing up cookie dough in the back.

I work in manufacturing and wearing rings is dangerous. I wear mine on a necklace so I can have it with me.

**For the record I am a tattoo fan, IF they are tasteful. I have a bunch myself, but wouldn't want to buy food from someone who had derogatory or grotesque (faux skin rips, blood gore etc.) tattoos visible.

Have a great week, stay warm!

That’s an extra $2,000 biannually for women who have elected to breast enhancement! Add it all up and the original $5K to $10K procedure will now cost a 25-year-old woman at least another $35K for re-implantation and $30K for the recommended number of MRIs throughout her life!

One commenter nails it: "An opposite side of the pendulum swing? Looks a little more exaggerated than merely not having make up on if you ask me. Maybe it's a psychological tactic saying "this is how you will look if you don't wear your make up!" which then scares young girls into always wearing it?"

Hope you all have a good week.

It Came From The Spam Box (#2)

I once again share some of my odd spam comments (posted verbatim)with you.

On a what I wore post,  The Petulant Kid:

“If some one wishes to be updated with latest technologies afterward he must be pay a visit this website and be up to date everyday. “

~Were we reading the same post? I am not tech writer, or reviewer.

“A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I believe that you should publish more about this subject matter, it might not be a taboo subject but usually people don’t discuss such issues. To the next! Best Wishes!”

~ The only “discussion” I had was that bad weather makes me sort of cranky. Hardly a deep and meaningful topic. At least they have they tried to seem courteous with “Best Wishes.”

“I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website? Its very well written: I love that youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?”

~Huh? *scratches head* Thanks so much for the needless unsolicited advice.

“It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this excellent blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will share this website with my Facebook group. Talk soon!”

~This one attempts to flatter but comes off as very odd. Why on earth would I have a donate button?

“Hi there, I found your blog by way of Google even as searching for a similar subject, your website came up, it appears good. I’ve bookmarked it in my google bookmarks. Hi There, simply changed into aware of you weblog via Google, and located that it is truly informative. I’m gonna watch out for brussels. I will appreciate when you proceed this in future. Many other folks will be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!”

~Holy run-on sentence Batman! This one is by far my favorite. It is not only composed with questionable grammar, its redundant too! The brussels part is the best. Might be a new catch phrase for me.

For more spammy goodness check out part 1.
