I give my cat pills by giving her to the landlady/next door neigbor and letting her do it.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

So Sean should FedEx his cat to your next door neighbor. Problem solved.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It's the pretty obvious solution.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Hola! I tried to read, but there was too much. So I skipped.
I'm very sorry for the losses DJ and Aimee have suffered. I hope Michigan treats the Miracleborns more kindly than LA seems to have done lately.
I'm also sorry for the sucktastic time other people were having. I suppose I bogarted all the fun, for I had quite a blast in Puerto Rico. Although I didn't get to see Stephanie or Ellie I did get to party with local cutie-pie bartenders, swim at the base of a waterfall, and swim amongst luminescent protozoa. In one week I've laughed more than I have in probably over a year, and I feel a lot lighter for it.
I hope to keep up in here again soon. Wish those damn repair people would fix my laptop and send it back to me!
Glitter, chocolate, and porn for all!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Well, I've gone through all of the shows on my DVR. Dave took half a day today because of his meeting last night, and we even had the chance to watch Ugly Betty. However, the cable guy still isn't here. He has a half hour left on his four hour window.

Does anyone want to hear how totally awesome I am at inserting non-breaking spaces using a Word macro?

What is even happening?
We're waiting with bated breath, P-C.

So a non-breaking space keeps things together rather than letting it wrap. For instance, if you have a date at the end of the line:
The subject was treated with ciprofloxacin, and the event resolved on 20
Dec 2005.
A non-breaking space will make sure it looks like this instead:
The subject was treated with ciprofloxacin, and the event resolved on
20 Dec 2005.
Now, you can put them where you can see they're needed, but if you change the margins or font size, the text is going to do different things, and things will break in new places, so you want to put them in preemptively to keep things from breaking. Mostly, you want to keep numbers with their buddies; you don't want a number hanging at the end of a line while the g/dL is on the next line.
So my first brilliant idea was to consider all the possible units I had and find-and-replace with all ten possible digits that could be before them.
Until I came up with the even MORE brilliant idea of just searching for the space before the units. This brilliance extended to the fact that I could easily non-break all my dates by searching for the spaces before and after the months, rather than using my original digits trick. It's way more efficient and elegant.
