It cracks me up that I still have my 401k from a job I left in 1992.

Oh, DJ, that would make me sick to my stomach. I mailed my letter to Think Geek today, when I sent the merchandise back so I hope she gets a nice gift card or something from them.

Too many people needing cockpunches today, though.

This week, Owen is the Fabulous Friend in his classroom, so he gets to sort of be a little star--he gets a poster with his picture up, etc. I took in Oobi cupcakes for him (just cupcakes with a pair of eyes) and have ordered Oobi eyes off of ebay for his whole class on Friday.

Tomorrow I get to go in and help the class make gingerbread houses.

If you need it right away, I can get it for you in two days with Prime.

I also have Prime, but I don't need it right away. I already have instructions on how to rollover my 401(k). I just have to, you know, actually contact my previous service provider and get them to issue a distribution check. Once I receive that, I have a form to fill out and send to current service provider.

Looking at paperwork (now helpfully filed!) will probably help me figure out how to contact my previous provider.

'Cause I just got a message from a friend that a puppy needs a home-he was found on the side of the road with his legs taped together and his mouth taped shut.

The good news is that Mr Peabody, who had lighter fluid poured on his head and lit, is sleeping next to me with his toys piled around him.

I am happy that Mr. peabody and the little chihuahua found their people. People who hurt animals and children deserve a special hell. When I here stories like this I want to go all Hulk-Smash and actually beat people.

What Sophia said.

Genius! I need a picture. We could do Julianna as Yakko and Jilli as Dot.

That would be so awesome. I think I have a picture somewhere of my costume.

I have a 401k I need to rollover or do something with or figure out how to access ...from a job I left over two years ago.

I now feel like less of a slacker! I got laid off from my previous job about a year and a half ago.

OMG. I'm totally not a pet person, but what makes you actually want to hurt an animal?

But in terms of the differences pronouncing*, it's key to note the split between aluminum/aluminium

But I never say aluminum. So "it" is never spelt "aluminum" to me. I mean "aluminium" every time.

I think I caught a co-worker scoping my leather-clad ass before a meeting today. Perils of being caught bent over in front of the water cooler. And then I got a hell of a snicker when I used the word "allayed". I think someone's mind was not really on the meeting.

re: cats: has anyone tried the calming pheromone diffuser thing with their cats? We're thinking of trying it out and wanted some reviews.

I used Feliway when introducing the newly adopted kittens to the resident cats since Murphy kept attacking Buffy and seemed very stressed. I think it helped. Murphy seemed much less anxious over the new intruders in his territory. And they now get along . . . mostly.

I unplugged it for awhile but have just plugged it back in to see if it helps discourage Buffy from climbing my Christmas tree by encouraging her to relax. Probably not likely to help with that since she is just being a rambunctious kitten, but I can hope, right?
