Yes!!!
There really is no excuse -- either you do something for everyone's birthday or you ignore everyone's birthday.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Those aren't just shoes for Jilli -- those are gorgeous.
There's another reason to trade my workplace with a Bitch -- I live in fear they'll remember my birthday. So far so good, but the new boss can be wily. They're pretty evenhanded about birthdays -- it's baby showers/gifts where things get uneven. I think they should just stop those.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Congratulations, Drew! Woo and hoo!
Good luck with the surgery, Jilli.
Wow, Jessica's coworkers suck.
I got a "We got your info and will let you know if you make the cut for interviews" letter from a job opening with which Amych hooked me up. Which is more than I've gotten from anyone else recently, so I'm gonna call it a happy thing--thanks Amych!

All is well that ends in pizza.
Congratulations to Drew!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Rock on, Calli!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Question for experienced cat-ownersknowing-type people: Any clues on why my (neutered at 5 mos.) male cat repeatedly bites the neck of my (spayed at 4 mos.) female cat? He's always done this once in a while, but now it seems to be twice every hour. It started about the time that she staked out my bed for her exclusive use during the day, but whether that was her defence against his sexual harassment or the start of it, I don't know. I do know that last night after being the victim of that special love-bite, she beat the tar out of him with the result that he slept downstairs by himself overnight, instead of on me.
Another question is, do cats in colder climates have a physiological need for larger portions of food as winter sets in, or are they just big whiners? They are getting more insistent at non-mealtimes that they are very hungry and need to be fed again. They don't seem to be either losing or gaining weight.

Little of both, I'd say. On the biting, I'm not sure, other than it clearly sounds like some kind of dominance behaviour. But it sounds like she's handling it.
(I should add that "bite-necks" was the hands-down favorite game when my (spayed female) dog and my parents' (spayed female) dog were together, but it doesn't sound like the same thing going on.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Woo-hoo, ND! Congrats!

Cats tend to lose a lot of heat through their ears. It takes a lot of energy to generate enough heat to keep them comfy. I usually feed mine a teeny bit extra in the winter (especially if he's going to be going outside).
