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.
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.)
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.

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.
I felt so smart, like when I figured out a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" question that "karaoke" means "empty orchestra" because it has the same first syllable as "karate,", which means "empty hand."
You know, unless you have the kanji you can't really be sure that a similar syllable means the same thing. . .
