Oh, come on kids! Don't be stupid!

A graduate of Loyola University Chicago was arrested Monday after he was observed on the Rogers Park campus with a disabled gun he had signed out of the theater department, Chicago police said.

The incident occurred about 2:20 p.m. when a student in school's student union reported that the man was "displaying a prop gun used in theatrical productions," Officer JoAnn Taylor said.

Okay. Back to throwing stuff away.

Hey! Us too! Only we haven't thrown anything away yet. But I called my mother to alert her to the fact that I was going to throw something (sort of jointly owned) away, as the cats have ruined it.

She was better about it than expected, even before I gave her carte blanche to go take plants from my backyard.

We're looking at houses this weekend. This is a very strange sensation.

Somehow I managed to wash 2 sharpies and my thumb drive in a single load of laundry. I caught the thumb drive and one of the sharpies before they went into the dryer. The 2nd sharpie disintegrated in the dryer. It was mostly clothes I do grimy work in, so I don't think much damage was done. I'm letting the thumb drive dry out overnight before I test it. Wish me luck.

...whoah. A whole hour of silence, in Natter?

I mean, I'm scared and impressed by aurelia's sharpie-washing, too, but dang! C'mon, people, let's get some entertainment going!

Skipping (hello, new thread!) to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Beverly's birthday.

Happy birthday, Beverly! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Also, you share a birthday with Fiona's Benno, so lots of wishes for him and his mom and all their family, as well!

Castro stepped down. Huh.

Happy birthdays, Beverly and Benno!

Happy Birthday, Beverly!!

Happy Birthday, Beverly!

Happy Birthday, Fiona's Benno!

I missed Kat's linky to the new house, wah!

Plei, how exciting! I hope the right house is out there ready for you. In which neighborhood are you hoping to land?

Happy Birthday Beverly!!
