Not Where I Would Have Gone With That...

This may be the least tasteful email marketing I've received in recent memory. It's somehow in a separate class from all the typical daily spam.

The kicker has to be the promo code.

How I Painted My Cabinets White (Alternate Title: NEVER AGAIN)

If you know what you want to believe, you can find someone on the internet to tell it to you.

For instance, if you want to believe that painting your cabinets is a cheap and easy way to transform your kitchen over a weekend, you can find supporting evidence on plenty of blogs.

And if you are like me, once you get about halfway through step 1 of this project (which, incidentally, is past the point of no return), you will regret ever starting. But I'm done, and I'm quite happy with the result! But I'll never do it again.

Fred Phelps is a Con Man

This is the smartest analysis I have read about the moneymaking scheme that is the Westboro Baptist Church. Read this, and then don't pay them another shred of attention ever again, at all, ever.

I recently saw her described somewhere as a "link farm." Truer words were never spoken.

Catnip Overdose

Okay, I promise there is more going on here than my animals being hilarious, but I can't let this video go unseen. The husband let Gizmo stick his entire face in the catnip container, and Gizmo subsequently started to trip. Hard.



Suffice it to say we'll be a bit more restrictive about the catnip dosage in the future.

(Gizmo is fine. He walked it off, then sat down and stared off into space until he came down.)
