It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Having just been bought a Dyson, I now have a nice upright Hoover suckmonster (with bag, so it's suitable for households with pets), complete with tools and extra bags.

If anyone local to San Francisco needs it, ping me and let me know at the profile addy. Free if you come get it.

edit: and, claimed.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm going out of town and will be dark until sometime late on Sunday.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

My dad passed away yesterday.

He wasn't in the best of health, but his death was very sudden ("It's always sudden"). I'm thankful that it came quickly -- He had a brain aneurysm sometime during the night and died late in the morning.

I'm in Phoenix until Tuesday, and will obviously be gray until Tuesday night.

Are you ready to be strong?

Oh, Jon, I'm so so sorry.

My news is that we got a puppy! He's not coming home till next week (he has to be fixed first), but he is OURS ALL OURS. Here is a picture of him from two weeks ago (he's a lot bigger now):

I'll post more-recent pictures on Natter soon.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

My father passed away today. He'd been in declining health ever since my mother died a year ago. He was 89 and his body just gradually shut down. So it wasn't unexpected and frankly, he's missed my mother so much it was a mercy that he finally let go. Not sure when the memorial is yet, but any condolence ~ma should be sent to my family up in Iowa.

Again with the condolence ~ma, I'm afraid. A very good friend passed away in the night; it was quite quick at the end, and he'd been sick a long time. Any extra ~ma for his son, who at nineteen is now without a mother and a father, would be appreciated.
