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

Today is the first day of the rest of my life job....

Weirdly rare here, given how plentiful they were in, say, Montreal. I figured carpets made more sense in cold weather places, but there must be something else I'm missing.

I wonder if it is an age of the apartment. The older the place the more likely to have hardwood?

I still want a 20s-ish vintage, adobe-styled-after-um-I-dunno cottage house like in the older parts of my hometown. Wood floors, lots of arched doorways, neat wall niches, tin roof.

sara you have just described my new house, except no tin roof. I'll have to take pictures soon.

ooooh! new job day! good luck to all the new job folks.

What is even happening?

Good luck at your new jobs, Allyson and Fone.

Hey Kat, how's your healing going? Are you still having much pain?

Go, Allyson! Rock that first day of work.

TAR: >it's part of the game, people! Deal with it!

Totally. Especially the way it worked out; it didn't hurt them at all. I would probably be more like nyah, you wasted your yield and your goodwill. I do think it's a valid choice not to use it, too, though.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

OMG I LOVE this bookcase!

Schrödinger’s Pawn

Played with two chessboards. With this game, it's possible for a chess piece to be in two spaces at once (a la quantum superposition). And one can then collapse the two positions into one....

Cool. You could totally add an LCD computer monitor that could flip down for you to use, and fold up when you're not using it.

What a great bookshelf!

Hey Kat, how's your healing going? Are you still having much pain?

Not too much. Just occasional twinges. By afternoon it's worse, but that seems to be the story of my life...I feel fine in the morning and by afternoon I feel ragged.

Ibuprofen is my friend.

There's a bit on pet insurance on the Today show...And seriously? It doesn't cover preventive care so what's the point?

Now tagless for your comfort.

They don't cover pre-existing conditions like hip dysplasia, either. I think it's for drastic emergencies like "hit by a car" or other trauma.
