I found one of those (not four hundred years old) when rebuilding the floor to an old farmhouse porch.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

ION, Sara really needs to close off that crawlspace: [link]
Hey, now! Don't give her nightmares! (And I'm sure her crawlspace isn't a likely cat trap. It's pretty wide open.)

I thought I knew how many perm employees had to be reduced from our dept in 2009, turns out it is 3 times what I thought. I no longer feel secure for this year.

Sweet Jesus, when will I learn? Our surprising liberal Republican governor has just said that the draconian anti-gay-marriage constitutional amendment that was passed here a few years ago doesn't clearly rule out civil unions. (I think it does, the weasels put in as much weasel language as they could think of to make sure that those icky gay people never get to live together in any kind of legally recognized way.)
So, like an idiot, I clicked on the comments section of the local news station. And read for five minutes before the bile that was churning in my gut got to be too much.
Never, never, never read the Utah comments on a culture war issue, Constance. You know what these people are like!

I feel you, Connie. Arizona isn't much less scary. A little, but not enough for my taste.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, we don't have to worry about those glow-in-the-dark puppies suddenly turning evil and trying to take over the world. Not when Intelligent Robo-Penguins Take To Seas, Skies
Using their flippers, the mechanical penguins can paddle through water just like real ones, while larger helium-filled designs can "swim" through the air. The penguins are on show at the Hannover Messe Trade Exhibition in Germany.

"The move by Taliban-backed militants into the Buna district of northwestern Pakistan, closer than ever to Pakistan's capital of Islamabad, have prompted concerns both within the country and abroad that the nuclear-armed nation of 165 million is on the verge of inexorable collapse."
Uh-oh.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
