Oh, how can helping a sweet critter be bad? I saw her LJ and I swear, if I'd been there, I'd have been a goner.
BUNNY!
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Bunnies are pretty low maintenance. A friend of mine in Columbus had one that was litter trained and she used to cuddle with him on the sofa and watch tv.

Given that you can't have cats, and I can't imagine with your lives currently how you could fit in a dog, this seems like potentially a great thing. Especially for a poor abandoned creature.
On a somewhat related note. I gathered up and washed a whole bunch of Lucy's toys and leashes and things and I want to take them in to the Anti-Cruelty Society soon. I'm kind of scared about it. I'm very not ready for a new animal, but I don't know what going in and seeing the poor homeless critters will do to me.

Steph if it makes you feel better I think a swamp cooler is a bit esoteric for a lot of us. I only learned what one was a couple years ago when my FiL tried to talk us into having him install one. My DH was practically doing his imitation of a tv sitcom character, waving his hands and shaking his head vehemently behind his father's back.
As for the bunny JZ, we are total enablers here. I think only Anya and maybe Hec are going to try to talk you out of it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
What IS a swamp cooler?

They use evaporation to cool the air rather than, um, whatever it is traditional air conditioners use.

Wow. I always pictured a styrofoam cooler suspended in a swamp to make beer cool!

I never thought of a swamp cooler as something you install. The picture in my mind is more the jerry-rigged kind, with the fan and the block of ice.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It cools in really dry environments by forcing air through wetted pads. Two controls. One for the fan, one for the water pump.
Hi, I grew up in the desert, those things are MIRACULOUS. Until you get the odd humid day and then they are useless.
I was just looking to see what was on tv tonight, and I'm looking forward to seeing an older (2000) episode of Secrets of the Dead on one of the secondary PBS stations. I bought the book that the show is based on, but I've never seen the documentary. (It's called "Catastrophe," and it's about a worldwide weather phenomenon, possibly caused by an eruption of Krakatoa, in 535 that led to massive upheaval in cultures around the world, including the rise of Islam in the following century.)
I can't find that show and I want to SEE it. Bother.
