Happy birthday, smonster!
sad for the loss of your little hamster, Seska, but wow. 4 years old. He's the Methuselah of hamsters.
Tesco's response on the Jedi thing was perfection.
Fred, glad to hear Rigatoni's kidney is back in play. Sending more kitty~ma for recovery.
Happy birthday, smonster
And to GC, I'm sorry to hear you've entered into "that" phase of the pregnancy.
Happy Birthday to smonster!

Poor, GC. Hanging in the pool was a big relief for me. How much longer?
Go Rigatoni! Keep up the good work, kitty.
Ugh, Ginger. Neither the drought nor the deluge are any fun, but the deluge is messier. I think we are in a rare state of normal right now. It rains every day, but a reasonable amount. Hot as hell, but no fires or floods. Perhaps today isn't the beginning of the rapture after all.
Ginger, have you seen this? [link]
We are soggy (pouring right now) but no serious flooding, yet.
I made sushi yesterday! And it was yummy! I learned a great deal about proportions and textures of filling and balancing flavors. If I find out rice is banned because of blood sugars, I will be very pissed.
Ugh. My graduate assistant wears too. much. perfume. It's a very nice scent, but am sitting in my office in another room (10-15 feet away), she has not crossed the threshold, and I can smell her perfume. How does one deal with that if there's no allergy issue, it's just overpowering.
Oh wow, Vortex--that's a lot of perfume!! Time to have a chat about the point of wearing perfume NOT being to knock people down with it!
Laura! It looks like I"m probably coming to Miami for Thanksgiving!
How does one deal with that if there's no allergy issue, it's just overpowering.
Does your HR department have a written policy on scents? Ours requests that people keep perfumes minimal to non-existent, and if there's a problem that can't be resolved by saying, "I'm kind of sensitive to scents, would you mind keeping it down, please?" we can go to HR for resolution.
Well, I'm her boss, so I don't have to be delicate about it, but I've already had to have a chat with her about other things, so I'm trying to be nice.
That's wonderful news, meara. At a time when I should have free time to play!.
