Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I spent a small fortune having one of Ruby's teeth pulled a couple of months ago. I didn't realize how bad an abscess had become, and had GREAT TERRIBLE GUILT that I let her be in pain. And then Kristen had to help me wrestle her down to get her antibiotics and pain meds inside her.
RUBY! I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU. STOP FREAKING OUT.
Also, please tell me when you do not feel good. Somehow.

Your poor mom, Sue. I've got a 19+ year old diabetic cat. I'm past the borrowed time part and have been moved onto a prepayment plan...
My dad has taken to delivering bad/sad news in email. Which, well, it is so dad. Means he doesn't have to talk about it. Usually the subject line is the name of the person/pet, and a terse single line inside.
Less than ideal (how I got the news my aunt had died, in the middle of the day at work) but...the phone call would contain just about as much actual words.
This means that when I got an email at work just before Xmas with just Josh in the subject line, I about had a heart attack.
He was asking for gift ideas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, your dad!

Who with the what now?

Seneschals are often confusing. Fortunately, one can also often bap them on the head.
(this may make no sense to anyone not in the SCA.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a wild cat that seneschal makes me think of.
BT, the French thing was mainly a second language familiarity. Why would you tack 'way' on the end of it anyway? Also, she was irritating.

Oh god, he and my mom should start a club! Only she just goes one step further and just puts in the subject line "Uncle Woody died."
Like I want to click that e-mail.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Heh. In hindsight, I should have been more curious why people always seemed to say "segue-way" and never just "segue". It's a bit of a giveaway. In my defence, this is the same "people" that replaces "tenets" with "tenants" and thinks "alot" is a perfectly cromulent word.
In conclusion, It's not "mare", Jude-a-Murph, it's "may-or".

It would be better if he put it all in the subject line...
Scrubbed out the indoor recycling bin. Considering everything I put in there has been washed and/or is dry to begin with, it gets remarkably gross.

I already started trying to feed Oz pumpkin this weekend, as a low fat replacement for some of his food. It's not going that well, but if he's hungry enough, he'll eat it.
Tuna water or chicken broth might help make the pumpkin more appealing.
For dogs, I recommend green beans and other fiber-y veggies as low cal fillers.
