Welcome to the Couth that Would Not Die - Episode 37: Clean up that Cool Whip!

I think our crazy, dangerous dog that has bitten me several times, and who my dad absolutely adored and begged me not to put to sleep is dying. She's lost a lot of weight this week and didn't want to go on her walk and was not all that interested in the soup bones I get her. And my beta is sick also. I know it's a dog I don't particularly like and just a fish but I keep weeping nonetheless. Maybe it's just the proximity in time to the anniversary of my father in law's death and my other dog's death last year. This ancient dog that we adopted when the kids were tiny died last year on Valentine's day. Or maybe it's just thinkin about how crazy my dad was about this dog and how much she adores him also. In any event, I feel like an idiot crying as much as I have today.

Woot, wild and crazy Lola!!!

Hmm, couch mom... MKAC? MUE?

MKAC - it is sad even when they are not the favorite pet. And your father in law has been very present in your memory recently. I hope you can be kind to yourself while grieving.

I'm not sure I want to know what is going on in my son's room right now. There's only 2 kids in there (that I know of) but it sounds like a barroom brawl. I wonder if he took the screen out of the window again and they're climbing in that way. Ah teenagers. Wish me luck, I'm goin' in!

I agree MKAC, dont worry about crying, if it needs to come out let it out. , I vote MKAC as house mom.

GL ART.. I am so not looking forward to the tennage years!

MKAC, it makes all the sense in the world that you're feeling sad. I'm sorry.

I am watching Hello Dolly. It is happy.
I think I want to learn to play the bagpipe.

I wanted to play bagpipes when I was younger, but my mother does not care for them...so... no dice. But I do love the sound of bagpipes starting up. All that discord and suddenly you have a tune. Hmm... reminds me of my therapy some days.

For MKAC, Old Grey Dog.



That'n always makes me cry.

And then you always have Darth Vader playing the bagpipes while riding a unicycle:



ETA: Oooppss. This was NOT in response to the awesome video Ike posted. I was responding to SD about the bagpipes.

i want to be somebody

night my couchies

Granite... how are you doing? you haven't been on the couch much this weekend... did you weather the storm okay?

G'nite Granite.

Sconnie, no worries.

Hi Pbutton... why r u sitting over in the corner?

SAWE is playing all by herself on Couch 36.... come on over

ike spamming the couch. Speaking of songs that make me cry, Not really, I'm all macho and ****, I'm pretty sure I have posted this song before on the couch, this is a different version that I just came across today. Steve Earle wrote this song about his mentor, Townes Van Zandt, who is one of the great song writers of all time(IMO)

Hi RTS, How are you?

I want to be Bob Dylan. But my friends want to be someone,,,, just a little more funky...

I really am spamming the couch. Where is everyone? I recently discovered Natalie Merchant. Please disregard if you are so inclined. Natalie doing a Pearl Jam cover.

Hi Ike...sorry I was registering my son for the SAT test...

Mkac I used to fish-sit a coworker's betta fish, whenever she took a day off, or if I came in on the weekend, I would bring him to my desk. I swear he knew me. His favorite song was "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

I really liked Natalie Merchant... I never heard her before.

I wonder how I never heard of Natalie until now. Goodnite everyone.
