Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that top is super-hot. And I love that they say what size the model is wearing -- that's very handy.

That top has an ACTUAL KEYHOLE NECKLINE. How cool is that? I sent an email off asking about availability, but nothing back yet.

If you hear back from her, would you please let me know? I've sent two emails in the past week, but haven't seen a reply. (I ordered a dress almost 4 weeks ago; she emailed me to let me know she was back-ordered, but that she should be able to ship out the dress in a week and a half. That was on the 5th. And I really, REALLY am looking forward to wearing that dress, dammit.)

From Digby via ThinkProgress:

The latest FDA “science” being used to block over-the-counter access to the emergency contraceptive Plan B: one agency researcher said the drug could “lead adolescents to form sex-based cults centered around the use of Plan B.” Back in reality, peer-reviewed studies have debunked this point, and also shown that 1.3 million abortions could be prevented if Plan B were available without a prescription.

"Sex-based cults"?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

There's so much crazy in there, Kathy, I'm amazed you were able to latch onto just one phrase.

I remember the "Satanic cult" obsession that was floating around in the 1990s (All those Goth kids, dabbling in animal sacrifice and maybe even human sacrifice! Proof that they exist? We don't need it!) and find the idea of "sex-based cults" revolving around the use of Plan B even more bizarre.

They said the same thing about Dungeons & Dragons.

What is even happening?

I have no idea why straight guys would trust me, but I'm wondering who I'd put up...
You'd put up Salma Hayek.

Man, I was just looking at my credit report and there is some CRAZY SHIT on there -- addresses I've never had, accounts I don't recognize (which doesn't mean they aren't actually mine, but who knows). Shit.

Shit, Jesse.

In other life sucks news, this week is not going as planned. I just got back from the vet with a leaky Mister Kitty. I'm spoonfeeding him babyfood, and he's been shot up with fluids. Why? Well, he had a weird little puke/pee in a weird place (the other cat's box) sunday night. All last night, he was unusually subdued and did not move from where ever I put him. Tonight I get home and he hasn't eaten or used the box. This Is Bad, especially for a diabetic cat. The vet had me come straight in. His blood sugar is ok (a little low for this time of night, but that's because HE DIDN'T EAT ALL DAY) and he's got a bit of a fever. And he's got some tender spots in his belly. NOT GOOD. So they took some blood, stuffed fluids under his skin to prevent dehydration. They'll call me tomorrow with the test results and what is next if it isn't a simple infection. Please let it be a simple infection. The alternatives....not going there.

This sucks.

I got about 2 teaspoons of babyfood into him. That's a start.
