Juliebird, when my family found a dog recently we put pictures of him up on Craigs List and several local sites for lost/found pets.
(Happy Ending: His people found him!)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear, Juliebird. Here's hoping she's just gone walkabout and will walk her way home soon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope everything turns out okay, Juliebird.
God, my head hurts. And the ER was little help.
Okay, wimminz: How many handbags do you have? How many times do they get used during a given year? Month?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have 5, ita. The current one tends to get used day in, day out. The others are ones I retired but am still fond of. Every so often I switch bags. There's one smaller one that gets used for nights out.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Vibing safe-return~ma to Juliebird's cat. My downstairs neighbor's cat has gone missing, and it just twists my heart every time I come or go and see the signs posted all over the block. No more unscheduled walkabouts, kitties, please! It's too hard on the humans.
ita, (a) oh, damn, sorry the ER didn't help, and (b) probably 10 fancy evening handbags and 4 actual purse-type purses. The purses get used every day until they come apart; the fancy bags get used a couple times a year each.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Ummmm.... I have about 20-ish. I haven't counted them, but that's probably right. I have a handful (4 or 5) that I have on rotation for daily use. Then I have others that are just for going out that get used less often, say 4-10 times per year depending on the bag. Then others are bigger, more tote-like, that are on rotation for work use.
eyes new bag in corner.
I have a thing.

I have two. One gets used every single day, and one gets used 3 or so times a year, if that. My "one" needs to be repaired, and I can't work out why I'm so reticent about getting a new one and having two when all is said and done. And I really should have something in brown. Or something that actually looks nice.

I have a winter handbag (immense black leather tote) and a summer handbag (canvas tote with polka dots). I don't have nights out.

I use one purse at a time, but I probably have 10 or 15 in the house, between old day-to-day ones and fancy or -- my favorite! -- novelty purses I don't actually ever use.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
3 things that could reasonably be considered purses. I tend to use 1 of them nearly all the time. The other 2, rather rarely since the other came to me.
I, however, do not like purses, and am not altogether pleased that I seem to be carrying one now.
