If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
UK may chance law to allow "small" brothels:
The law could be changed to allow two prostitutes and a receptionist or maid to work together legally in brothels, the government has confirmed.
Currently only lone prostitutes can offer sex from flats or other premises without breaking the law.
Launching the new prostitution strategy for England and Wales, minister Fiona Mactaggart said that working in groups would be safer for women.
The Home Office plans also include tougher rules for men who buy sex.

My Mom, Dad, and dearly departed cat, Vivaldi, greeted me.
Well, a zombie cat is enough to make anyone a little scatter-brained.
Love the image of him flinging the gloves down the hall and then going inside.

I call them mother moments, unless they're because I'm busy troubleshooting something and not paying attention to my surroundings.
Really, when they're mother moments, they're due to sleep dep. The other ones are due to focus blindness.

There are the ones due to sleep dep, when you can't concentrate on anything (like I am RIGHT NOW), and the ones where you're super-focused on some other matter. Like the time during finals week when I locked my keys in my car twice.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Fred Pete, how many days was your trip?
did you drink lots of frothy type concoctions that included rum?
14 days, 10 islands (Eleuthera, Tortola, St. Maarten/Martin, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Vincent, Trinidad, Bonaire, Curacao).
Drank a fair amount of fruit punch -- my medication doesn't go well with regular alcohol. With a strong sun and highs in the low 80s most days, liquids were necessary.

If I only had a brain...
My brain is all scattered and flubblewucket today; I just lost focus in the middle of reading an E-mail. I'm seeing the doctor at 5 to ask "Why the hell am I so tired all the time?". Also to be mentioned: wild eyesight fluctuations, being too hot all the time.

My mom's on a shorter version of that cruise right now, Fred.
Before she left, I told her the line that Stephen Colbert had on his first ep back after the holidays: "I spent these holy days (not holidays!) on a pilgramage to honor my favorite saints. St. Maartin, St. Croix, St. Kitts, and the little known St. Bahamas."

Argh. Not. Buying. Things. No matter how pretty or how much on sale or that I know exactly what I'd do with them.
