I received Lee's addition to the nail polish round robin today and will add it to the main box when that arrives. I continue to be dark grey for the next few weeks as I go back and forth (fun vacation time?) between home and the folks'.
Main box went out at last today so you should have soon! Sorry for the delays..
My cat is still looking for a home. email lagarat at gmail if you can help.
Hey NCistas! Gary and I will be in Raleigh August 5-8 to attend ReConStruction(The 10th Occasional North American Science Fiction Convention). We'd love to meet up with folks while we're there. As we are driving, we're flexible as to where to meet.
Profile e-mail is good.
Can I have some it's nothing-ma? My mom is in the hospital tonight, getting an MRI and various, to see if perhaps she had a mini-stroke or something.
Grazie.

In NE Oklahoma and a red tailed hawk just flew into our window. Now hopping with hurt wing. Humane society said call Game Warden. Anybody know of anyone else that might help hurt hawks? I will check for answers in Natter. Thanks.
-Update. Have called a few numbers and been told that the way that I describe the bird it just has a concussion and should recover in 1-3 hours, so the best thing to do is wait. The bird is just sitting by the lake and looking at the water right now, chillin' in the shade. I got close to it a couple times, just to see how hurt it was. That's a big freakin' bird!
-update 2. It's been 3 hours and the hawk still isn't flying. She hasn't strayed far though. Talked to a couple other people and they said this was very normal. Since she isn't full grown and momma bird's nest is only a few yards away, rescue people said momma bird would try and feed her for a couple days even if she is slightly injured. I'm worried about night predators. Rescue people said the hawk should be able to climb a tree to get away from predators...but I would have liked to see some evidence of that for me to believe them.
Organizing our DVD shelves, have discovered we have two complete BSG sets. (Minus Razor.)
