And I got my copy yesterday at Porter Square Books, thus Supporting Local Bookstores also.
OK, now I really need to know who bought the ones they had already sold out of when my parents went a couple of weeks ago.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They special-ordered it for me, Jesse. They had a number of copies in the reserved books section (easy to pick out because of the spine color!) I'm betting they bought some more copies for the shelves, though.
I'm trying to keep a stiff upper lip about the medical insurance situation. Aside from needing a refill of one prescription, which isn't ultra-expensive, I don't have any outstanding conditions which require me to see a doctor this month, and I have no more chance of coming down with something dire than I ever did.
I'm sure going to look both ways before crossing streets and so on. This would be a bad month to take up sky diving....

Now tagless for your comfort.
MM, we use Frontline on our dog and cat. I react badly to flea bites so I have to make sure our pets don't get them.

Wow Corwood, congrats on the new baby and the good catch!

anybody know why a McAfee update would make the internet stop working on my laptop? i know that's what it is because i've had to do a system restore twice after McAfee decided to automatically update. i've now turned it off automatic updates, but it keeps bugging to do one. i thought it might be something to do with the firewall, but i messed around with it and it didn't seem to solve the problem.
i'd ask this in tech, but i know not everyone goes in there and this is bugging the crap out of me.

You are actually more likely to get a response in tech as the many of the technically minded folks keep up there but don't keep up in Natter all the time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I hate McAfee. I wish I hadn't switched from Norton. Except Norton was frelled on my computer and I couldn't fix it. I hate my computer. Sorry, tiggy, I'm useless to you except to commiserate.
