So when the 6,666,666,666th person is born today, will she cry out, "Slut!"?
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

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

I'm a lazy composter and my compost pile doesn't smell, except in a vague sort of coffee grounds and banana skins way. You just have to avoid any meat or fat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sara, they can easily cost as much as a couch. There's no reason for them not to be able to.

the trainer leading these wee baby calves around in a wee baby yoke proportionate to their size.
Like Almanzo does in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Farmer Boy! Garth Williams did an adorable illustration of just that.
New dog is cute--yay Truman!!
Speaking of pets, Amarna and I just got back from the vet. Thank God I took her in; she has a fever 2-3 degrees over normal, dehydrated, and with some old hard turds in her system not coming out and lots of backed up food behind it. So, they gave her subcutaneous fluids, antibiotic, x-ray (which is how they know about the backed up food--it looks pretty cool on an X-ray, actually!), blood work (some of which is already back and pretty normal--the elevated stuff can be attributed to her being sick and stressed) and she peed on the table so they were able to send a sample off for urinalysis as well.
I'm going to stay home from the bookstore tomorrow to hear back from the vet on the test results and keep an eye on her. Good thing is that the first thing she did after emerging from her carrier was head straight for her food dish and snarf down about half of her food that she didn't even touch last night. So much for tempting a finicky sick palate! Guess I don't have to pull out the tuna water to drizzle over her kibble.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oh my goodness. I hope she's on the mend. I know dehydration can be a big deal for cats, so maybe that's the heart of it?

Glad you got that sorted out, Kathy!
I really have no idea on how much furniture should cost in the real world.

We compost. The wormy ones are a bit of trouble, but the non-wormy (we have both) are a breeze. The only effort is actually getting the compostibles into the compost. (I recommend a kitchen bin.)
The key to a non-smelly compost is, as Steph says, not trying to compost anything that smells bad while it rots. So no meat, fat, beans, or potatoes.
