It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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

So, I'm looking for a cheap way to hang a poster without damaging it. What do folks recommend?

Years ago I bought some of those plastic things that attach to the top and bottom edge of a poster. Then you hang it from a thingie attached to the top plastic thing. Maybe I'll try that again.

Have people tried that sticky poster-mounting stuff? I tried it once but it stopped working after a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The "Sud" is for soothe, Suzi. Actifed is the "active" one

I always thought it was the counterintuitive way round.

I had to bully my way into a three hour meeting that I ended up running. I'm not sure what they had intended to do without me. Oyveh.

I'm with amych and -t when it comes to decongestants.

How's Isaac about the jumping up so far?

A qualified win? No jumping on me so far, but he does tend to lean his arm right into the surgical site. Ow. I am trying to get him to move to the other side of the bed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Have people tried that sticky poster-mounting stuff?

I have tried it with little to no success, but not really recently.

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

I'd go with the poster-end-slidy-things.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

If you click, you click.

I get nervous when ita posts "click" ... turns out that it was in a different sense here.

Christmas Tree Shooting: Colorado Boy Accidentally Shoots Himself With Gun Left Under Christmas Tree

CORTEZ, Colo. — Authorities say a 12-year-old Colorado boy accidentally shot himself in the leg while playing with a loaded pistol his parents had hidden behind the family Christmas tree.

Montezuma County Sheriff Gerald Wallace says the boy was shot in the calf on Monday morning but the injury wasn't serious.

Wallace says the parents had left for work but other family members took the boy to a hospital.

The sheriff says he won't recommend charges because the parents had left the .22 pistol a reasonable distance from the child.

It wasn't clear why the weapon was hidden there. Wallace says the boy was "digging around" when he found it. His father had other weapons locked in a safe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Gaaaah. Why would you leave loaded weapons lying around ANYWHERE when you have kids??

because children never MOVE of course! Oh and children rarely take an interest in what's under the Christmas tree. Can hardly blame the parents for hiding a gun there.
