The little snuggy-boos!
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good morning. Hey, looks like it's my turn for the dizzy spells. I wonder if I can blame my cat?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Torrey says schizophrenics are more likely to have curled up with a feline friend during childhood, and theorizes that spores of the feline parasite Toxoplasma gondii -- present in cat droppings and swallowed or inhaled by pet owners -- could be the culprit.
You know, I know it's just a newspaper reporting the gist of a scientific study and all, but you'd think that they would at least mention the whole "well, we're pretty sure there's a genetic component to schizophrenia too" side of things. Because I am sure a newspaper can come up with a way to say "diathesis-stress model" in a conversational way.
Not just because of how irritating it would be if quasi-informed readers went on an hysterical panic about cat butts causing mental illness, but because if we can isolate a stressor that kicks off incidence, then we might be able to create targeted preventive measures. So, not All Cat Butts Exiled Forthwith, but, test the cats in at-risk households for toxoplasmosis (or whatever it might end up being).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Like Beth and JZ, I am happy about the election results, though not the election and its costs.Me too. Though we needed yet another mayoral race, so the election was going to happen here.
I don't much like Teh Ahrnold though. He needs a few minutes on the timeout corner.

It took me three tries to leave this morning. Forgot lunch. Forgot something I cannot forget. Had to check mgmt's key to make sure it worked on my door. I think I really flustered the russian guy who was coming to replace the toilet.
Let's just hope they don't trash my bathroom or let the cats out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Only, in Israel, since most moms are Jewish, we call it "Polish mom".
That's really funny. I always love knowing that kind of cross-cultural stuff.
And, honestly, thanks to the class that I'm taking, I'm so excited about all these things I want to write that spending money on a trip to Bora Bora or Vienna or wherever would be a waste.
Yay, Kristen.
She's come a long way, but I love the caption accompanying this article's picture.
OK, that was hilarious, but that site gave me a pop-under, even with two blockers, that started talking to me and freaking me out.
Plan for the day: Have showered and breakfasted already. Next, put in laundry. Then homework for tonight. Then other homework for later. Seriously.

David - my daddy was a meteorologist.
Also, there were tornado watches not too far south of me. Weird weather needs to be paid attention to.

It does give a whole new explanation for crazy cat ladies.

Good lord. I just got an email that because of Thanksgiving, timesheets are due today, not Friday, I guess so we get paid before the holiday, not after. An email at 10 about them being due at noon. An email that was sent to mostly part-time employees. @@ Luckily, I think I can get enough people to do me a favor that I'll still get paid, but come on, people.

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