tommyrot, that link just goes to another post.
Oopsie - fixed now.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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

Should I walk 5 minutes uphill in 95 degree heat for the chance to eat some brownies and other goodies? Bearing in mind the reception started at 3 and the food could be gone by now. And I'd have to make small talk with coworkers there.
I think I just answered my own question.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Just catching up after being away for several days:
Thank you for the sympathy thoughts. They help a lot. I'm frankly worried how we're going to get through the funeral tomorrow.

The first moon landing happened when I was six. I remember going to my aunt and uncle's and watching the moon landing after the Ed Sullivan show.
I was a freshman in college when Reagan was shot. After classes, I went back to the dorm to study while listening to tapes. Then my roommate rushed into the room, asking why I didn't have the TV on.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That's "Aims".
"sorry".

That's "Aims".
There's an "Aims" and an Aims? Has MM been doing some cloning?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Well, two are better than one, after all.

I'd be really annoyed if this happened to me. Mad, even.
Amazon zaps purchased copies of Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm from Kindles
People who bought Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm for their Kindle were surprised to discover that it had disappeared from their devices overnight. It turns out the publisher changed its mind about offering an electronic version, and Amazon caved into their demand to sneak into people's electronic libraries and take back the book at the publisher's request.
From Pogue's Posts:
This is ugly for all kinds of reasons. Amazon says that this sort of thing is “rare,” but that it can happen at all is unsettling; we’ve been taught to believe that e-books are, you know, just like books, only better. Already, we’ve learned that they’re not really like books, in that once we’re finished reading them, we can’t resell or even donate them. But now we learn that all sales may not even be final.
As one of my readers noted, it’s like Barnes & Noble sneaking into our homes in the middle of the night, taking some books that we’ve been reading off our nightstands, and leaving us a check on the coffee table.
