Baby talking my guinea pigs always comes out as one of two options: 1. [cooing] "Hi my baby! Hi bubba! You're such a good boy! Hello my piggie!" 2. [conversationally] "Do you know you're a guinea pig? You don't know how to read! You need to go to school, piggie! How are you gonna do your taxes?"

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Today on, Things I never thought I'd have to tell my guinea pig: "Bubba, you CANNOT have whiskey."

We bought the parcel of land next to the church late last year, and today I just bought enough seed that the entire 9k sq. ft. parcel will be covered with "Bee Lawn" and "Ohio Pollinator Native Mix" as soon as our contractor comes to clear the lot of various impediments (bits of former house, etc).

Me: Okay, even though you're feeling better you are recovering from being a little sick, maybe eat healthy for dinner Also me: Pepper Jack cheese counts as a vegetable

Just overheard in the blue room, where a customer was observing how many very full bookcases we have: "This is the best ten-pounds-of-s***-in-a-five-pound-bag job I've ever seen." Why, thank you 😂 We do indeed have 48,000 books in 2700sq.ft., and I'm over here trying to figure out how to add more.
