So I've been checking out a couple more dating profiles. There's one from a Japanese woman now living in Canada, which is all fine, and she sounds like a nice person. But then under 'Appearance' she's written:

I'm 158 cm tall with beautiful teeth and smile. Also, mines are big enough to hold your Jonasan.

I am completely baffled as to what this might mean, and I'm not sure I want to know. And I suspect my Jonasan is managing fine wherever it's currently located.

Contra dancing? Does this involve Nicaragua and the Sandinistas?

Connie speaks for me. (And yay for good surgery!)

Wow. That's a very, unique, specific description, billytea.

(Incidentally, re your tag - have you heard Sisquo's popular hit Thong Song?)

Kitty cat advise - any notion what it might signify for a kitty cat to have several random bald patches appear around his throat? Thumb print sized? I thought with the first one, which appeared a couple of weeks ago, that he must have got into a fight. But I'm thinking not, now. He's been full of cold and I've been feeding him antibiotics for a week, as per the vet's instructions, but he's still Sneezy McSneeze, and has been sick quite a lot. He is not a well bunny. Going to take him back to the vet's this weekend and see what's the what.

I have indeed, and in retrospect it may not have been the right move to give an impromptu performance at the speed dating tonight.

Fay, if his throat hurts/itches, he may be clawing at it. Either that, or it's mange.

I urge everyone today to solicit local opinions on hot spong.

I will!

Yay for good surgery, connie!

Thong spong!

That sounds wise, billytea.

I keep thinking of that (former?) Bishop Shelby Spong, and gagging. Maybe that's just me.

I have my plane ticket to Boston - arriving 8:30 Thursday the 4th, leaving 11:30 Tuesday the 9th. I am available anytime that's not Saturday for lunches, dinners, house and apartment-warmings, Jen-coddling, Toto-walking, cat-petting, helping Somervillains cram for tests, or just about exactly whatever.

should we discuss in F2F? Maybe we could do a Friday night thing in Cambridge/Somerville? JZ, did you ever get my email I sent to your gmail, oh, zonks ago?

cereal to add:

Or a Sunday afternoon thing would work too.

Ok, I think I'm going to hurl. I really hope that there's nothing I forgot to pack. Or that I didn't pack too much.
