So, for the second month in a row, Rogers Wireless has overcharged me on my cell phone bill.  Does this make them devil spawn?  No.  They could be pawns, I suppose, and not actual progeny.

Lukaska’s Diagnosis

The vet told me about the news about Lukaska last week, and I’ve been wracking my brain for some way to make it funny. But it’s, how you say, not so funny.

Learning at the ICBC (DMV)

I was in line today to get my B.C. driver’s license, and I learned something. First, I learned the value of my time. Second, I learned that I should apply more lessons from the board game Monopoly to Real Life.

Lukaska Visits the Vet

Today I took Lukaska to the vet.

She’s lost a lot of weight lately.  She’s gone from, “That’s a happy cat! Cost a lot to feed her, does it?” to “Oh, she’s so pretty! When is she due?” to “Have you been feeding her diet food lately?”

Overheard

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

...who said it?

“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”

...who said it?

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

...who said it?

“I play with variables constantly.”

...who said it?

“Only the person who has learned Continual Love coming from a heart of Gratitude/Worship can effectively deal with the problem of loneliness.”

...who said it?
