So sorry, meara. That bites.
I had a houseguest for five days. Who was very nice. But now I'm very happy to have my house to myself again.

So am I the only one who likes the Trixie dress?

I like the *idea* of it, it just doesn't like my figure.

Yeah, I should have said "in more than theory".

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So! What can you tell me about flying foxes and their habits and demeanors?
Well, unlike the microchiroptera, they eat only plant matter (fruit, nectar, pollen, flowers). They don't possess echolocation, since fruit isn't known for its evasive maneouvres. Instead they rely on sight and smell. They generally live in trees rather than caves, since they can't navigate in total darkness. They're still commonly nocturnal. Although flying foxes are mostly tropical, in Australia they extend down the east coast; grey-headed flying foxes are found in Melbourne, there's a colony not far from where I live. Some of them (including the spectacled flying fox) can drink seawater, not so much for the water (fruit and nectar gives them plenty of moisture) as for the salt. They're pollinating species for some trees.
You have four species in Australia: grey-headed, spectacled, black and little red. (We also have plenty of microchiroptera, of course.)

Does anyone know about a cheap/free (ummm, it's the internet, isn't it?) international text message service between cell phones? For the rare cases I'd like to text to U.S., and not getting robbed by my cell phone company's fees.
Gracias.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
So am I the only one who likes the Trixie dress?
If it fits me, it is my kind of dress , but the one I ordered is backordered -- and I am afraid it might be a scooch tight in the waist. But I need to lose something and past experience says waist is where I lose things first. So long story short, I should love it.

I like it. Although I think I would want the aqua and I wonder if the brighter colors will look too bridesmaidy.
