Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That is great, lisah and Bob!

Because books.

Excellent news, lisah!

I don't care about my polish clashing with my clothes so much, but I have rings with stones in different colors, and if I have a really bright or saturated not-neutral color on, I'll stick to silver rings.

My favorite new "neutral" is a gorgeous navy blue.

Punishingly Intricate

Thanks, guys! We are feeling pretty lucky, for sure. We have a pre-op consult with the surgeon today and have about 3 pages of questions to ask. (Mine "When will he be able to resume his househusband chores?" I've gotten pretty spoiled having someone do all my laundry and wash the dishes, etc.! Hah!)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm so happy for Bob, lisah! Doctors must be pretty damn confident, then, which is a big relief, I'm sure.

They talked about his case in Tumor Board yesterday and this treatment plan was the consensus. I love the idea of Tumor Board!

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

There is a small hole in the outside wall of our office building. Occasionally a bird will come in and fly around.

I can hear a bird making noises in the ceiling right now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm glad to hear the good news, lisah. We'll keep the good thoughts coming.

I found that nail color hasn't really hampered my clothing choices, but maybe that's because my clothing choices tend towards neutrals, with maybe a splash of red, pink, or green thrown in.

70+ Years of Collegiate Grade Inflation

Everyone is familiar with the fact that grades in American colleges and universities are prone to “inflation” over time, but the data are much more striking when presented as a graph.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's great news, lisah!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What everyone else said, lisah - what a relief for both of you!

The last manicure I got, the salon had a selection of new OPI matte polishes - my sister got a really gorgeous slate-blue on her fingers and toes. Sans top coat, it looks almost like chalkboard paint.
