We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I love bonny's wisdom, especially the doggie kind.

Daughter!fail. Today was my dad's 64th birthday and I just now remembered. With the lack of sleep and the very long and draining day, I got home with two brain cells to spare and they were looking to pick a fight. Gah. I lef a message that he'll get first thing, and I'll call tomorrow, but I feel like a heel.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Smonster, I did that to my grandfather the other day and I'm still feeling awful about it.

A quick first world, it's so hard to be me whine: dear lord, I am NEVER going to be done dealing with all of the friend requests on FB, am I? And oh goodness, the OH SO SERIOUS photos of some of the babybats. Bless.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

a dog's mind is thoroughly in the moment...all the time. She can't remember being shot, or abandoned, or any of it.

I honestly didn't know this. I mean, I didn't think they remembered trauma in the way that a mature human mind can, but I assumed that, for instance, Chloe being skittish about people touching her nubby tail and hindquarters was because she was hurt there, and has -- I guess I would call it a sense memory of being hurt there.

Could she be skittish about being touched on her nubby because of (1) genuine pain (which the vet has never indicated is a possibility), or (2) because of *our* assumptions about it and subsequent actions (like, hesitance to touch the nubby, etc.), which she then picks up on?

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'm not sure I buy that. I mean, is there some neurological basis there? Or is it a pet-psychic thing? I've certainly heard the latter say otherwise.

Then again, if my frequent bellows of "DALLAS! NO!" are any indication she can't remember after sixteen frikkin years to stay out of the trash.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Skipping and skimming, going back later. I had to post this.

Looks like they are going to try and make the movie:

Dunno the process of this, but maybe create a GCS "fan of" facebook, and then I think you don't have to accept friends of. And then change your facebook to an all new private account for folks you actually know. I think that's doable.

Eh, my facebook is entirely public and for promotional purposes, anyway. I just need to go create a custom list of the people I want to read, instead of scrolling through all (good God!) 891 "friends".

That is a very sane plan.
