I tried really hard to come up with images, but even I couldn’t stomach them.

Latest info on the Ashley Madison info leak includes Josh Duggar, so you get a double fix of perv with your Wheaties! “Someone using a credit card belonging to a Joshua J. Duggar, with a billing address that matches the home in Fayetteville, Ark. owned by his grandmother Mary — a home that was consistently shown on their now-canceled TV show, and in which Anna Duggar gave birth to her first child — paid a total of $986.76 for two different monthly Ashley Madison subscriptions from February of 2013 until May of 2015,” Gawker stated.  More here on Yahoo.

You’d need a home loan (and a completely clueless spouse)!  And can you just imagine the loan papers (and the loan processor’s face) if you went for the full bells and whistles package?  Well, that’s one home that won’t be remodeled any time soon…

Okay, so it’s in The Onion, which has slightly less journalistic integrity than the Globe or Fox News, but still…

PALO ALTO, CA—A comprehensive report released this week by researchers at Stanford University affirmed that everyone you’ve ever had a crush on in your entire life also secretly had a deep crush on you, they continue to hold these strong, unreconciled feelings, and they are out there right now, just waiting for you to get in touch with them.

Here’s the photo I got emailed from BlogHer2015 – promotion was sponsored by Lyft.  Only changes made were removing the green skin and pointy hat…
Heck, why couldn’t they be raffling off electric cars? Pink happens to be PITA’s favorite color, too!

Frontier Airlines is offering flights for as low as $38 through its  flash sale, which ends today, July 31st!  Flights from late August through mid-December are included, although there are holiday blackout dates.  Cheapest seats out of ORD are $39 – oh, you big spenders, you!

How about $99 tickets to Chicago from LA?  Haven’t seen prices that low in some time!

The sale includes many major airports, with an emphasis of flights to and from Chicago, Atlanta and Denver, so grab some time in the sun in December before your bone marrow freezes.

Hey, for $89, PITA and I could fly to Salt Lake City and see the Book of Mormon touring show which opened this week…can you say awkward (or would that be just stick it?)

Will post trip notes and thoughts after I run about 118 loads of laundry. Surprisingly, the house was pretty darned clean (even to the point of washing out the refrigerator)! and FirstBorn made sure to point that out…

Well, I’m now officially in love with a motel chain – Super 8! The price is on a par with what I was paying at Motel 6 but I get a fridge, micro, coffee/tea maker and free breakfast. Still negotiating with Raul the pool boy, but live updates as they happen. Super 8 is part of the Wyndham group, so I naturally signed up for their loyalty program. Cannot believe how nice this chain is – even allow dogs! Which is actually becoming more and more common. Heck, if they’re gonna allow kids…

Made the photo large so you can get an idea of the regular prices – I think there’s 8 tanks, one top with sleeves and a skirt. PITA loves Loft, so we just had to stop in this afternoon (which might explain why we left so late…shhhhh…I’m blaming the Obama motorcade!). Total was $84.31, including high tax, way less than the tanks alone. The skirt was a great find ’cause it’s totally like the one she wore today — except that one I had to pull down in back ’cause the butt cheek look is sooo 2014!

PITA and I are checking out of NYC and will be on the road later today – doing the Egg Mac approach to dining this morning.   Want to find some “actual” photo vistas in PA, not just potential Thelma & Louise flicker-to-the-end shots…

But given all the stuff crammed in the car, can’t you just imagine the police report of what was covering the crime area????  Would beat the heck out of a load of chickens actually going free range, huh?

You may ask “How do you pay for your trips?” probably not, but since all the conferences, etc. had open bars, there were Coke caps galore! Between us, we picked up quite a few from puzzled bartenders, who were nonetheless happy to oblige. Here’s PITA with her old pal, SpongeBob. Picture was taken last night on the way back – walking!!! – from Bleeker Street, where we attended a 25th anniversary, one-night only, band performance; we were on the guest list – woot!  PITA decided walking near her mother was no longer cool (I was walking too slow) and kept creeping on up. I’d call her back, things were fine for few blocks, then the dance would begin once again. Eventually she drifted over a block ahead and didn’t respond to my calls. Figured she’d eventually turn around, not see me and head back – nope. I waited patiently (okay there was an ice cream truck on that corner), but she never looked back. Since her ringer is always set to Parental Mute, I couldn’t contact her. Texted me that she couldn’t remember the streetKnew the hotel, so I flagged a cab and started cruising. Another text that she was on a corner – replied to stay there (lots of !!!) Find her, she runs in, hugs me, and asks if I got her last text, you know, about the guy hitting one her (cue heart atttack).  Apparently skinny young white girl standing completely on a corner is like waving the predator flag.  Man comes up and starts telling her how cute she is and how he’d like to take her to dinner – also asks if she’s got any money. She immediately crosses to the other side of the street. While I seriously doubt there was any real danger involved (there are literally 2-3 police cars and vans per block) and many people on the street, it was good for one thing – scared the crap out of her and made her realize that maybe her mother didn’t just fall off the turnip truck.

Signs up all over Aquafresh – toothpaste for a year!  Asked where I could drop in my card or sign up.  Was told the tubes were already in the bag.  I said FOUR tubes of toothpaste is enough for one year!!!  Guy next to me said that’s about what he uses – – he’s a single guy living alone.  Aquafresh says their studies show a family goes through one tube every three months.

I suggested they either find a new company for surveys… or use families that practice good oral hygiene (cue banjos).
