October Goat Blame (OGB)

@mfladd Well, isn't that just a pisser.

Oh, and one other thing. ...

@carl669 Yay team! It'll be a blast.

@lisaviolet maybe it's Sesquipedalophobia?

@lisaviolet Damn, sounds like you're dealing with a lot of shit.

@sohmageek I'm not afraid of long words.

@jaremelz After multiple runs (ha ha) to the other room this morning, I finally gave in and took a couple of anti-whatever the hell was wrong with me pills. I'd always heard it was best for this type of thing to run (ha ha) its course, but I just couldn't stand it anymore. They seem to have worked.

As for your GIF, it wasn't really that bad, since husband installed new low-flow toilets last month. I bet we saved a bundle on water usage this week. But talk about being butt hurt.

He made himself a turkey sandwich for lunch. It smelled so damned good. Later, I asked him if it was good. He said "Dianne, let me tell you, the tomato I had really brought out the flavors of everything". I just got a really sad look on my face and he started laughing.

I had a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup. And I ate slumped on the sofa. And I dribbled broth and noodles onto my shirt. Richie, one of the cats, ate the noodles. I changed the shirt.

@lisaviolet Good to know you were able to get a little bit actually into your system though!

@lisaviolet You need to drink lots of water because after all of that you are dehydrated. Lots of water! I don't care that you have a water shortage in California, drink w-a-t-e-r.

@Barney @lisaviolet And electrolytes!

@jqubed @Barney @jaremelz Thanks for the advice. I'm feeling much better this morning.

A little sad, though, last week (Monday) I took one of our older cats (14 yrs) to the vet because she wasn't acting right (one of those kitties you NEVER see, the only friend she had was a cat who passed away years ago). After x-rays, she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Put on lotensin for blood pressure, lasix for fluid. Follow up x-ray on Thursday showed the drugs were working, her lungs were quite a bit more clear. Tuesday she was doing great, down eating with the other cats for dinner. Wednesday she spent the day outside (backyard fence is modified, cats don't get out of our yard - for their safety). Yesterday morning, she was still outside, I got her to come in and she was pretty punky most of the morning. I put her in a big dog crate so I could keep an eye on her and she was getting considerably worse as the day wore on. I called the vet and we took her in yesterday afternoon. He was surprised how badly she was doing. He thinks because the fluid from her heart (the left side was the full side, the side that pumps out) was gone she threw a clot. It most likely ended up in her brain. We said goodbye. So, that wasn't the best day.

But today is a new day. I'm feeling better and Autumn is out of misery and things are a little brighter. The truck was smogged (to the tune of $2100, which hurts, there was a lot wrong with it, most preventable had he done regular maintenance on it) and now we have two reliable vehicles instead of just one.

So, new day. A hot one, supposed to reach 100. Which is just wrong. ...laughing....

@lisaviolet This goat would like to say sorry for the week you've had. I'll take full blame and just say that I hope it improves. I'm terribly sorry to hear about the loss of your furry friend. But when it comes to so many health problems, it is a relief to know that they no longer suffer.
That temp is just, wrong.

@jaremelz Thank you. Your words are appreciated.

@lisaviolet Sorry about your kitty. It is so sad when they get old and have health problems.

@Kidsandliz Thank you. She was such an unassuming kitty. A little white flamepoint with the most gorgeous blue eyes.

@Thumperchick

@jaremelz Now that's better.....

@connorbush

@jaremelz

@stardate820926 Haha, I LOVE this! @mfladd is such a...kitten.

@jaremelz Don't even try it, Goat.

@mfladd You must be sleepy, take a nap, kittten.

@narfcake

@narfcake

@mfladd

@jaremelz

You call that a pressed ham? Walt, hit the retaliate button!

@jqubed

@jaremelz Your Welcome! (sarcastic)

@mfladd Aww, don't be so down about this thread. Pick yourself up (so that I can knock you back down)

@jaremelz

@mfladd Don't expect me to keep it in my mind. I will cut you.

@jaremelz

@mfladd Look, it's you, five seconds after I try you, bitch!

@jaremelz

@mfladd

@OldCatLady We do our best. It helps that we are always hungry.

@thismyusername ARE WE YELLING NOW?

@thismyusername Nice blame. Now get into the box.

@mikey

@mikey This is goat blame? That's right - put your head down for the CONE of shame.

@carl669 Right back at you....

@carl669 Until you kill the goat....

@mfladd Don't make me curse you

@thismyusername Well isn't that just the doggone cutest goat ever.

@jaremelz it's a Doge Ram :) (don't blame me, pun not mine)

@thismyusername That pun is outta this world.

@thismyusername @jaremelz Kinda looks like a dog that might belong to Princess Leia. Kinda? Hey, don't look at me that way, I flunked ink blots, too.

@f00l

@f00l

@mfladd

@jaremelz
good moves there, considering you're a goat!

@f00l What can I say, we try to keep up on the latest moves.

@narfcake What @barney didn't get these?

@Kidsandliz Probably wouldn't have ben worth it for her to travel a couple thousand miles to the Goodwill here.

@narfcake Aaagh, I need a couple! I print my own shirts sometimes. Have a couple designs I want to do, too.

@jaremelz What size(s)?

@narfcake If they are AA, then xl, because I'm normally a medium. And possibly a men's large. And you really have insane luck finding things!

@jaremelz All are men's shirts, so a small and a large? I'll look later what i really ended up with; I pretty much just grabbed the whole row on the rack. :)

(My guess was these were leftovers from a print shop. There were other blanks too, but I ain't paying $1.49 for sandpaper-grade Gildan 5000's and 2000's.)

@narfcake Haha, yeah those aren't worth $1.49 if they come with a side of gold.
If you do find you've anything left over, a medium and large would be great! Or, the medium alone would rock.

Congrats, @narfcake - You must be in heaven!

@KDemo Nah. AA is right here in LA - I could've just bought a whole case directly from them I ever wanted to. But I wouldn't have been able to get them at this price.

@jaremelz They'd be worth it; they can be used to polish the gold.

@narfcake That's true! Although they might scratch it. And make the gold feel all sad to have that fabric on it.

@jaremelz Heh! Good point!

I have to say, a dozen years ago, I was pretty much like "what's the difference? A t-shirt is a t-shirt, right?" Then one of my Cartoon Network shirts was printed on AA, and I was like "oh these feel soooo nice". And that's when I started getting nerdier over shirts.

@narfcake I'm definitely not a real shirt nerd in terms of knowing all the different sources of great ones. I do have a David and Goliath shirt that I love above all others. And it has a funny "whoops" story. I'll find the pic I took to send my mom when it happened. .

@narfcake My son nearly wore this to school the other day. It's mine, and my husband mixed up our clothes. We are nearly the same size, so we always end up with each other's clothes.

Yes, it says "Liquor in the front". And you can guess what the back says.

@jaremelz that would have generated a call from administration, no doubt.

@jaremelz Is that a hickey on your neck?

@cengland0 That's a zombie bite. We are just waiting for her to turn.

@mfladd

@jaremelz Poker in the rear?

No doubt some blame is in order for that mixup!

@cengland0 Hahaha, no, surgical scar. And @mfladd, the next time I tell someone to bite me, I'll check to make sure they aren't a zombie!

@narfcake You got it. That would have been one hell of a phone call. Like they'd listen to a grown woman with that shirt. Maybe I shouldn't wear it when I volunteer next week?

@mfladd I turned on you long ago.

@jaremelz I have a few "inappropriate" shirts myself, but no kids. I still haven't bit on this catshirt, though.

@narfcake I need that damn shirt! We are fairly, no very, inappropriate in this house. My only rule is that people know how to pretend to be normal outside of our home. Before we go into restaurants or stores, I'm known to say, "Ok folks, now what do we do? " and they reply with, "Pretend we're normal!"

@jaremelz HA! Which leads to the next question - is meh considered normal you or pretend you?

Threadless will probably have another sale in like a day or two, but I've kinda given up on them because I have no idea what supplier they are using in any particular week. In my last shirt order, I had one print on a Canvas 3001u, one on a Next Level 3600, one on their custom Anvil blanks, and three on "mutant" Anvil 980's. And that annoys me, especially the last one, hence my long running kvetching at shirt.woot; those Anvils pinch my armpits and shrink as bad or worse than the "neckstretch" 980's before.

@narfcake Meh is me trying and often failing to be normal!

@jaremelz Well you know who needs to be blamed for that!

@narfcake

@dashcloud Tech support just logged in, sorry.

@Lotsofgoats

@narfcake You could blame her for the lack of things to blame on her.
If you need more substantial ideas, the weather, lack/glut of t-shirts at your favorite thrift stores, the fact that @acraigl hasn't submitted a cat shirt yet, etc, etc, etc.

@narfcake No worries, Walmazan just submitted another one. He's got enough going for the whole community.

@ACraigL That doesn't count. So yeah, @jaremelz, I'm blaming you that @acraigl won't submit a cat shirt design to catshirtswoot. Also, I'm nominating him for November goat.

@narfcake

@jaremelz I love this.

@Thumperchick I need it.

@jaremelz I'm guessing the shirt was screened first, then the pocket sewn over it.

@jaremelz That is "Lord Nermal" the cat.... all the colors of shirt with him are here.

@thismyusername Ok then, I don't need it that bad!

@jaremelz Yeah, that price is just too dear to be any sort of random purchase. It's not like I don't have any catshirts ...

@Thumperchick Sounds like she's messing with you. And let's be honest, you probably did that to your parents.

@Thumperchick - So she has an ass then? That's a good sign.

@Thumperchick Well, maybe this sweet rack will distract you.

@jaremelz that is so disturbing.

@readnj Sounds like someone's got a head up their ass!

@carl669 Oh, gee, I'm soooo sorry

@carl669 You too have programs that require (outdated versions of) Java?
You've got my sympathies there.

@dashcloud sadly, yes. one of these days, we'll get around to updating them for java 8. but by then, i'm sure java 10 will be out.

@Pavlov Sorry man, he caught it just fine the last time I passed it to him.

@narfcake Well, the good certainly outweighed the bad, so here's my happy face!

@jaremelz Yeah, it's basically been that way since you became goat.

You're doing such a great job, maybe you should remain the goat for the rest of the year!

@narfcake

@jaremelz No. And that's an unblame.

@thismyusername Dammit, they promised that my family's photos would be scrubbed after we entered the Goatness Protection Agency!
