I moved out of an apartment after 5 years and gave the fridge a good cleaning. I found a bottle of visine. I’ve never used visine.

Last night a daughter of a very special dog we lost much too soon had puppies. There was a liver-spotted girl, a black-spotted boy, and three black-spotted girls.
The ultrasound predicted 6-8 so I was wondering if they missed one when a liver-spotted boy came out, with a striking resemblance to his grandfather.
Sometimes you don’t realize how much you need good news until you get it.

Oh, I adore liver-spotted dogs. Because they’re, well, adorable! Are you adopting one of the litter or do you perhaps own them already?

The deal was we’d get one from the litter and if there was a liver-spotted boy he’d be ours. So this was a victory in many ways. 
We currently have one liver-spotted dog and one black-spotted dog. They’re both adorable but the fun thing about the liver-spotted dogs is going out and having people say “I didn’t know Dalmatians came in brown!”
Once when my wife was out with our dog Sagan a woman said that. My wife said “We call it ‘liver’.”
The woman looked at Sagan and said “Hello Liver.”

A victory indeed! Maybe you and your wife should call this one Liver.

Yes, that augurs well.

Survived an evening with a couple whom I barely know at the house.
And my team won 4 out of 7 on Cribbage.

After about 12 years of ignoring the slow flow or just plunging it if it seemed to stop following, I finally opened up the shower drain… It was sort of calcified. I recall that the shower had a slow drip that I fixed fairly soon after moving in, bit the relatively hard water must have hardened whatever crud was mucking up the drain. I broke it up with a broom handle and flushed it out with the garden hose.
It is nice having a shower that actually drains.

I just realized that I don’t remember how to play… (Was trying to explain it to the wife)

I built a sheet plastic and masking tape chamber of doom, donned eye, ear and lung protection, and used my stone-cutting saw (a 7¼ craftsman circular saw with thrashed bearings and a salvaged diamond blade) to cut out a section of hallway wall that refuses to stop cracking.
Miraculously and fortuitously, I cut in exactly the right place! And since I used the diamond blade, it cut a perfectly clean path through pre-1840 3-coat plaster with horsehair in it, post-1840 3-coat with deer hair in it, and 1920s 2-coat plaster over expanded metal lath with pig bristles in it.
3 30 gallon bags of debris later, I can easily and permanently fix this.

Congratulations! You skunked 'em good!
I assume that’s a real cribbage term. I was taught to play by someone who I’m half convinced was making up the rules as we went along.

Real term, incorrectly used!

Technically speaking, the first hand my partner and I were “skunked” which means the other player/team went out (Scored over 121) while we had less than 90. To be double-skunked is to score less than 60 points when the other team goes out.
