OK, I'm back on HGTV, and have a Canadian real estate question: they said something about "all your post-dated checks" or "cheques," I guess. Do people give all of their rent che(ck)(que)s up front, to be cashed later? That would be fescinating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, back to marking up requirements docs.
Heh, I read that as MAKING up requirements docs. Which could be a lot more fun, but not good for one's career necessarily.

In some senses, I get to do that too. Replacement system design is just getting started (which is why I'm at least getting the requirements doc for existing at least reflecting reality, and also adding what more we'd like/like to see changed.)

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

Oh, thank you. I'd been wondering who that character on the back of the car in front of me in traffic was, and now that you mention that, I realise it was the princess from the game.

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

Chicken Adopts Litter of Puppies
A hen in Shrewsbury, UK has been nesting on a litter of puppies born on the farm of Edward and Ros Tate. This is to the chicken’s advantage, as the Tates have since decided to not eat her:
Mr Tate said: ‘Mabel was hatched here about a year ago. She would have gone onto someone’s dinner plate but we saved her.[...]
'We have a dog, Nettle, which has just given birth to a litter of pups. Within a few days of giving birth, Nettle was up and about, prowling in the yard.
‘Mabel observed Nettle’s behaviour and, as soon as there was a chance, she hoped into the dog basket to roost on the pups.
‘She keeps them and herself warm, while Nettle is outside on the yard.’

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's often the practice, especially if it's a yearly lease.

I think I would love that (see earlier posts re: forgetting to pay rent), now that I pretty much always have the rent money in the bank on time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Jesse, are you watching Mike Holmes, aka my husband's man-crush?
