The (Call Me) was a reference to a song, not a request to give me a phone call. Not that anyone would have my number since I wouldn't just post on the Internet that my phone number was (481) 615-2342.

because what if there was any of dozens of kinds of state emergencies that needed doing while he was gone? Granted, no governor has to worry about nuclear launch codes....
This won't help him get the nomination in 2012. Also, he has kids and his wife is fine with him just disappearing without telling her and over Father's Day? WTF? If I did that the locks would be changed by the time I got back.

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

Ooh, coffee blondies - that sounds interesting. Do you add instant coffee to the dry ingredients?
The recipe I use has both coffee liqueuer and instant coffee/espresso powder added to the sugar and butter mixture after you melt them.

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

Or both.

That tagline (DESICCANT SILICA GEL THROW AWAY "DO NOT EAT") reminds me. Someday when there is a strong wind and I can do it discretely. I need to take a picture of the neighbor's confederate flag. At the bottom it says Rebel "til" Die which, grammar aside, is a bizarre use of quotes.

Growing up in CA, I knew about blondies but never cared for them much even though I didn't become a fan of chocolate (much less brownies) until my mid 30s.
Regional differences are fun. Unless of course we're talking about moving to the East and discovering, not only traffic circles, but actual roads that go in actually opposite directions depending on the time of day. That last one really freaked me out...for a long time...in a cats and dogs...living together, MASS HYSTERIA sort of way.

On a totally different note, I need some CAThivemind help.
I work with dogs...while I had cats much of my early life, I do not presume to understand them.
I have a client who has just moved in with his fiance, blending their pet family. She has a Siamese and is dedicated to NEVER allowing that cat access to another animal. Apparently the breeder made her promise to maintain this segregation for the whole of the cats life. That seems odd to me, but whatever.
He has a terrific dog who is doing great under my tutelage.
He also has a Calico that is screeching in the middle of the night, keeping everyone awake.
How does one stop a cat from screeching? Any known causes for screeching?
The cat has access to them, so it isn't an isolation thing, and from what I can discern, it's been going on for a while.
Cat people, can you help?

All neutered/spayed?
My cats sing the blues on occasion. I assume that there are scents out there that cause it.
The animals surely know of the existence of the Siamese. I think that breeder is NUTS. First, if you really had something about all your kittens being only pets - why place one with somebody who already has two other animals? There are ways to introduce animals gradually - which is really the best thing to do.
The cat has access to the people and the dog - but not to the other cat. That could be the reason.
ED: I mean the calico cat.
