Back to the grind

With the weekend comes the never ending list of tasks around the house, or what I commonly refer to as "working for free". Since I was gaming most of yesterday (yes, CoH) that left Easter as my working day. The list was slightly shortened, but still includes little things like hanging a new air vent, patching the wall where I installed a new switch, and grinding the dogs nails down with a dremel. (This is my dremel of choice.) I use the coarse sanding discs for their nails. I can usually grind all of the little one's nails with one drum, and start on the big dog, who quickly finishes that with his one front paw, and burns through another with the back two. Believe it or not, it's actually easier to take power tools to their paws (for them and us) then it is to wrestle with nail clippers. Personally I think they just let me do it so they can have the cheese afterwards. NOTE: If you plan on trying this there are several links on the internet that talk about it. I will offer two suggestions. If you can wear a face mask or bandana - do it. The nail dust lingers in the nose too long. (Though I do wonder why their paws smell like Fritos.... kinda makes me not want to eat Fritos...what do ~your~ dogs' paws smell like? I'll call them... Feet-ohs.)

And google is hanging on to my other videos, I decided to take James' advice and resubmit one that seemed to be stuck at "verified, stay tuned for the link" stage. Also, I can strongly recommend NOT using blogpsot (note that's blog P S ot) for any referral links... that was another typo that lead to "not work safe" content. Although my favorite wrong URL story is still from some years ago at work. James had dropped by and wanted me to read a page from ShackNews, only they had a different name back then - Shugashack. Well I hadn't been there before and James says "Hey man, go to shugashack.com" now... in his defense he did say that, but in my mind I translated the slang into, "Hey man, go to SUGARshack.com". So I dutifully typed in sugarshack.com... and much to my horror pr0n of an impressive magnitude filled my screen (I'm at work mind you) and as I'm yelling at James asking him why he told me to bring up a pr0n site, he's yelling back "I said shuga shack... SHUGA! SHUGA!!!". I still can't remember the article, but I know not to go to sugarshack.com... I now also know not to go to whitehouse.com, but who doesn't?

Don't make me moderate you scooter! Mayhap you need pr0n links on your page??

I already do! I love pr0n! See this. You wouldn't believe the web traffic this one post generates. Lots of searchable, ahem, "keywords."

By the way, we've used the dremel on our dognails for years... I absolutely swear by it too!

Thanks for the cross-posting on your sidebar. I'll prop you up likewise.

By the way, I don't think blogsearch goes into the comments, so not to worry.
