From the Panda article --
Guo Guo appeared flustered by her crying cubs at first and reserve staff had to intervene when she accidentally dropped one of her babies the day they were born,
oh, like that's never happened to a human mom!
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
they asked if I couldn't just get used to it.
They need to be attacked by ergonomizers.
I've been offered an LCD monitor, but, frankly, replace 22" and 2048x1536 resolution? I don't know if that's on the LCD market, and if it is, they certainly can't afford it. So my beast is eating desk space and forcing me to sit in the hallway.
But I get just as many headaches with LCDs and lower res displays, so I know it's not that. I still wear my reading glasses, just in case.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What's something that's made you smile in the last few days?
In a sense-of-accomplishment way, getting my eight loads of laundry done on Saturday. In a oh-that's-so-cute way, watching my cat attack the leg of her condo last night (she was lying on her back, with the back feet clawing the top of the post and her front paws at the bottom, so she was balancing on the top part of her spine while her claws were feverishly scratching away). Better that than my couch.

Yes on hybrid convertibles.
A hybrid convertible would, sadly, be an absolute waste of money for me. It'd end up getting exactly the same gas mileage I get now.

Oz pretty consistantly makes me smile. Last night, he was burrowing under the covers to clean our feet, coming out of the covers to clean Max's ears and then going back for more feet. He had a little trouble getting back under them and was standing on my back using his ginormous paws to try to haul the blankets off. Puppies are always good for a smile.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I seriously thought at first you meant the tv show. I was like, "mmm... shanking and fucking..."
ION, No, Jude, NOOOO!

OMG! This is a dedicated guy. He stabbed a fellow prisoner in a holding cell at the Utah federal courthouse with a 3-inch shank (I'm so amused with the website's "look, we know the slang!" continual use of shank in the story).
Thompson said Vanderstappen smuggled the shank out of the state prison in Draper and into the federal courthouse inside a body cavity.
You'd think they'd have noticed the very careful posture, but the guy is a white supremicist--being sentenced for stabbing a prisoner a few months earlier, by the way--so he probably always stands very stiffly.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I should COMM this, but that would be mean.

Note: I don't actually approve of shanking.
