Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I am ambivalent about having recently joined Facebook. It's nice to have the updating wall thing with a slew of Buffistas, and it also happily reconnected me with The One Who Got Away this past week. But it's depressing to discover how many people I knew in HS went into conservative ministries as adults. And a number of people that I have absolutely no memory of have sent me friend requests—if we went to school together, I was completely oblivious to their existence.

For a bit there, mine seemed like it was turning into my high school. Which would have made me abandon it altogether. However, the influx of high school friend requests seems to have slowed.

It's still very world-collidey with people from high school, work, Ohio friends, new Wisconsin friends, buffistas and bronzers for me. If any of my family gets on there, I am doomed.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm on hold with a potential vendor, and they have no hold music to let me know I'm still on the line

Well, nevermind - they just cut me off.

Fingers crossed they still exist, since our marketing department just invested a fortune in designing new DVD labels for these printers.

Folks who are looking for WW2 records, I live in College Park which now has the National Archives main storage building and have a researcher's pass. It's been years, but I should be still able to get access. Obviously there are no photocopiers on the researcher's floor but I could do most of the grunt work...

Cat at vet, car at mechanic. AND! Mechanic gave me a loaner in case they can't finish it today!

And I just dumped water down my front. Cap to waterbottle wasn't on tight.

Today is another bleed money day.

And for the person whose father's records were lost in the storage fire, you may want to try again, they have since made efforts to recover records that were held by other agencies (the VA had literally tons) that duplicated the files that were lost in the '73 storage fire...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That reminds me--I need to make a vet appointment and a car appointment.

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

Cat at vet, car at mechanic. AND! Mechanic gave me a loaner in case they can't finish it today!

I suppose that's better than 'Cat at mechanic, car at vet, mechanic gave you a loaner cat'....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I kinda want to go to SF to run in the far side run and see the new California Academy of Science.

Yes, come to SF!

Up and breakfasted. I had to turn the heat on because of the cold. Grrr. COLD.

ita, I love that necklace. If I wore necklaces that were that pretty I'd totally get that one in smoke.

Since you are a on a cereal kick, we'll have to come and go to the cereal restaurant with you soon. I swear.

RE: SF I'd love to but reg for the run is closed, I think. Or it's not available online anymore. Plus going up for one day doesn't seem such a good idea.
