Hmm. Just checked, and thankfully my bathroom door will close to with a little effort, though it normally sticks about an inch open or drifts all the way open against the wall. Out of luck if I want to lock it though, so it's definitely not my hiding place of choice in case of zombie plague.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
My daughter's cats were the same way, although they had a preference for showing up when I showered or took a bath. Particularly when I took a bath. Tucker would always come and patrol the top edge of the bathtub and sometimes sit with his tail in the water. We would play "fish" with my toes, until his paw got too wet and he'd sit there shaking it off and licking it dry. Silly cat. Neither one of the cats were big on coming in when I peed. They might wander in, but then wander right back out.

Congrats, Jessica and FoneBone!

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and there you were, all right at petting level.Pretty sure this was Kittenish's idea. And I was not moving except for being at petting level, so I should *obviously* be petting her. Cute for a skittish creature, now it's just indentured pettitude.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Theo, many people have told me the same since all my friends, family and co-workers got sick of the trail of tissues after about a month. I just really hate going to the doctor. But soon. I actually looked for one the other day, so that's a good first step.
House of Flying Daggers is such a pretty movie. I love just having it on in the background. Every time I look up, it's like "Beautiful" and then it's back to work.

Congratulations, Jessica and E! More savvy Buffistas, yay!
I tend not to close the bathroom door, since I live alone. I do close it when people are visiting--I figure the conversation can handle a pause. However if I'm in a restroom with a friend or coworker sometimes we'll keep talking from one stall to another.

The status is NOT quo.
My cats get annoyed if they can't walk in when I pee. Why do they want to come in when I am in the bathroom? I have no idea... But they do.
My cats are the same way! And if I push the door closed but don't latch it, they will push it open. If it's truly latched? They will paw the door and meow mournfully.
My cats are a wee bit codependent.

Bwah! I love this. That should be the subtitle of a book entitled Life with Cats.

Is this... kosher?
A reader writes, "Jewish ritual scribe Jen Taylor Friedman has made a scholarly Barbie, complete with Tefillin, Tallit and volume of Talmud."
AION,
The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate, which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals.
Expatriates say that enforcement of the ban has been stepped up recently and is ruining lifelong traditions of having Vegemite on toast for breakfast.
Former Geelong man Daniel Fogarty, who now lives in Calgary, Canada, said he was stunned when searched while crossing the US border recently.
"The border guard asked us if we were carrying any Vegemite," Mr Fogarty said.
Someone needs to start a movement to fight this. Men at Work can do a benefit....
