Oh, I love that! Thank you for sharing!
Hil, I'm glad you're doing better. Definitely pick up some quick and easy food.
Suzi, sorry about the school-angst, but glad you got the paper done. Hang in there, hon. I need you to be finished when I'm going through my last year, so you can say, "Remember how freaked out I was? And I did it, so you TOTALLY can!"
So, it's Tuesday, eh? Lovely.
Tuesdays were so much better when there was new Buffy to look forward to!
For the parents here: Mattel is
recalling
a bunch of toys.
Yep. More Chinese toys.
The head of one of the Chinese toy factories involved hung himself.
I've never trusted that Pooper Scooper Barbie, anyway. I had to go through all our toy bins in case we had the Dora/Diego/Elmo toys. We've got a toy-buying moratorium in place until the recalls end.

Can't blame him, what with the government executing the minister responsible for the food poisoning stuff (for pets here and ppl abroad).
Nora - that was my reaction too.
I live in the Northern VA suburbs, just 20 minutes outside of Washington, DC (traffic permitting).
hey, I'm in alexandria, where are you? Why did I not know that you were a DCista. Gotta skim a little better, I suppose.
Many people I know out here don't let their cats out any more because of coyotes. And not just cats. We have friends who live in the hills walled off their dog door after their neighbor's german shepherd (!) was killed by a coyote. Me, I would be more worried about FLV.
Our guys are indoor cats and don't seem to be unduly missing out. As long as there is a laser pointer and someone to wield it, they are happy.
My cats are strictly indoors as well (see, my freakout last week when one got out) and are pretty happy dudes. I knew I wanted to keep any cats I had indoors after losing a very beloved cat to a car so I got brothers who'd keep each other company. Also I've lived in places that are big enough for them to roam some.
Because I am a complete shit...
