Well, at least it isn't an oscar...I think that is the carnivorous fish my brother has. They go to the pet store to pick up its food: goldfish.

The sick, sick thing is that D is perfectly ok with watching the oscar eat them, but woe if you try to put down a maimed one. He's ok with the fish eating the other fish in all gorey detail, but heaven forfend a human takes part in the process. It makes sense, in a rule of nature sort of way....?

Since y'all already know that my brother lets him play with the lab mice slated for death in the line of cancer research, I figure you already know the child is warped.

IIRC it's called Flirting with Forty, which when I saw an ad made me go, "Forty? Heather Locklear is not flirting with 40.

I felt so guilty for thinking the same thing. Forty? Twenty years ago.

it is a betta and mac has named it Lugia, the Legendary Water Pokemon.

This was a giveaway and came with a temp plastic home and then a more elaborate glass and metal home. not sure where it is going to live, but it seems we have a new pet.

I'm a men's 7 1/2. I go shoe shopping and I feel like freak of nature, because half the stores don't even stock my size.

psst. Tom's feet are dainty

I have no problem finding shoes. Pants, though... it seems fewer stores carry 36" inseam these days....

Where the cats don't notice it.

I would be conflicted about that being scheduled opposite the new Librarian sequel, but with the latter showing on TNT I feel confident I can catch any of the other 20 airings that'll be broadcast this week.

I just read the summary. A new librarian movie. And vampires? I am so recording this.

I can wear size 5 kids shoes, so I got these [link] I like them, they have a 30s vibe--and you can't beat the price!

Heh, Scrappy, Abby has that same pair.

I, on the other hand, left children's shoes behind a long time ago. Size 9.5.

And Tom, Lewis feels your pain-- he's an 8W and it's impossible for him to find shoes, especially for work. He's taken to wearing MBTs, since he's on his feet so much.

Flirting With Forty is based on a Jane Porter novel and Jane wrote it after she got divorced, went to Hawaii and met a hot surfing instructor nine years her junior.

With whom she's now expecting a baby at age 44.

Go Jane.

I only remember shopping for shoes in the adult section -- my mother would basically bring them to bring out anything age-appropriate in my size, and it would be like five boxes. Things are so much better now.

That happened to me, too, Jesse, but my feet were a size 7.5 until about 5 years ago.

David, that is awesome. Hotness!

I thought you'd like it, meara. Did you see that series on YouTube listed under "LGBT Ad"?
