I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Our wings are not tired.

What do they do with it? Do they sort it for recycling, etc, or does it just go into a landfill?

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?

I was wondering what the qualifications of "secure" are

I was wondering the same thing. I mean, I'm okay, but if I lost my job I'd be totally fucked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, I'm okay, but if I lost my job I'd be totally fucked.

Seriously. I can't remember exactly, but the article listed out criteria, including assets, education, housing, health care.

I've been trying to get a savings account going, but it's currently at a balance of $250. Not quite the savings I've been planning on! I've only got a few more things to buy for Christmas, though, so after that, I'll be able to add to it, I hope.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

javachik-- they recycle a lot of it, pass on usuable things to charity, et cetera. At least they say they do, which I will hope very much they aren't lying!

A human was just in with the puppies and gave them a new toy! It looks like a lobster--all I'm seeing is a red thing they're tussling over.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was watching when a woman went in and sat down - she had a lap full of wriggling puppies, all wanting cuddles. Then it went downhill, with the puppies yelping (wow! loud and high-pitched!) and fighting. Made me think that if they don't get better behaved, being raised by wolves would be an improvement.

Awesome! I'd totally pay for that service. OTOH, the tax write-offs are nice when I do it myself.

That pack of puppies reminds me of when I saw my sister last week. They've got four llasa apso mix dogs (mama, papa, and two puppies who are now adult) and her stepdaughter's chihuahua, and it's a madhouse when you walk in the door. The dogs are all stuck in the family room/kitchen (except for the chihuahua, Freya, who can slip through the gate), but they go bonkers when you come in. If you don't go right over and say hi to them, they go even more crazy. They're all great dogs (except for when they get the pantry door open), but the papa dog, Pixel, hates my stepniece's cat and starts barking whenever he sees her. They had to put up a curtain in the doorway to let her walk around the living room without getting Pixel all riled up.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am interuppting this Natter to ask a Fringe question, as I don't know where we talk about it, and I am just in the middle of the Pilot on Hulu...

What does Joshua Jackson's father talk in a British accent?
