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

I don't even know where to begin with this question. My friend told me that if you are converting to Judaism, and you are already circumcised you still need to provide a drop of blood from that area. Do you really have to get naked to convert?

DH had to do this -- he was raised Jewish, but his mother is Catholic, so he had to officially "convert" before he could have a Bar Mitzvah.

Unfortunately for his 13 year-old pride, when he told his social studies class about it (some kind of cultural sharing presentation), he reassured his fellow males that it wasn't a painful procedure by saying "Don't worry, it's just a small prick."

Skippity and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Kat's birthday.

Kat, you've already posted in this thread that it's not going to be an easy day, today. But I hope it will mark the beginning of a year that will show mostly improvements, each day at a time, but still.

Lots of love and thoughts (and prayers) for you and your family. Not just today. Everyday.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, Kat! Procedure~ma for Grace and Noah. And what Nilly said.

I'm with Matt -- the hospice cat is clearly in it for the soul-catching.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Kat! And all best wishes for Grace and Noah.

Re hospice cat: Teddy became devoted to his grandma (Hubs's mother) while she was living with us, and he visited her regularly after she moved out. Several weeks before she died (in 2000), we took him down for an extended visit. Then he started avoiding her for the last few days before she died. We took him home on Wednesday, and she died Thursday afternoon.

So I agree that cats have some way to sense such things.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Happy Birthday, Kat.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Happy Birthday, Kat. I hope you are able to find a small amount of time today to be lighthearted and cheerful. And also to have a cupcake.

Heh, I saw that in the Globe this morning, and thought of posting. For some reason I thought Hec would feel justified.

Many Birthday Happies Kat, and that they bring much relief for you and the noodles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Kat! (I know it might sound like a meaningless platitude (?) on this particular day, but I still mean it.)

ita, if a man complimented the shoes while you were wearing the corset, he's probably gay.

Heh.
