[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Schrödinger's cat is 75 this year.
...maybe.
So on average, it'd be 37.5 years old.
Quantum mechanics is all about probability, so I say I'm right. But then I suppose I should have said the expected value of it's age would be 37.5.
I used to know this stuff better. It's sad that mathy knowledge has such a short half-life.

Compassionately intolerant
Thanks guys. I have to say that I nearly burst into pieces of joy when I spoke to Niki today...in her own home, in her comfy chair, over her very own phone.
I can't even say how far away that is from her medically induced coma less than a month ago.
Truly a miracle.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh, and in miraculous news, Niki (surrogate mom) has gone home from the hospice/hospital/death watch!!! She is able to take a few steps under her own steam and is working to get strong enough to move to CA. Her doctors are struck dumb.
I am so proud of her and hopeful for at least a while of happiness for her before we revisit her mortality.
bonny, that is SUCH great news! And I know you had a very hard time with your pneumonia earlier, and were willing for it all to end (if I'm remembering a post correctly). But how wonderful for you to have gotten better, so that you could see Niki get better!
And oh, newlyweds. My heart runs over with joy for you. Today and always.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
This is clearly Good News Day. My own, less momentous contribution: Ryan stood up by himself today, with no support. Just straight up from the floor onto his two hind legs. We're very proud.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, good for Ryan! That's good news for sure!
