Perhaps you could put something on the floor to pad it for the next time she falls (or leaps) out of bed?
Actually, my double thick yoga mat was there. I have lived with her for two years, and I know what she's capable of...
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You poor non-sleepers!
I think I've told this story here, but my niece, starting at 18 months, would climb up the doors in their house using the molding at the sides to shimmy all the way to the top, where she would hang until rescued. She would do this at 3 a.m., sometimes.
Holy crap.

'Suela - your coworker is insane. I can't believe she pretends to talk in her sleep or that she so obviously eavesdropped on your conversation with your new boss.

Maybe she was sleepwalking.

Thanks for the help, gang! How does this sound?
I'll come right out and say it: I DO see hostility and discrimination when a LGBT issue (or similar issue dealing with women, or African Americans, or another minority of some sort) is raised and straight men promptly come out of the woodwork to declare their belief that it's a non-issue and argue that the people who raised it should settle down and be happy with the status quo rather than asking for improvement. And do so repeatedly and vehemently, despite the alleged unimportance of the issue. It's not burning-crosses-in-the-front-yard/throwing-rocks-through-the-windows style overt hostility and discrimination, but whenever anybody questions the disproportionately small or outright absent representation given to a minority I can pretty much start a countdown to the appearance of a straight white man who (1) feels threatened by attention being focused on a problem or inequity that he's not on the losing end of, and (2) wishes everyone would just stop talking about it. It's an attempt to silence the voices of the "other" rather than letting them join the choir.

Because books.
Now I know why I see author contests limited to US only. I ran a Twitter contest this morning, and I'm now sending a galley of the book to Brazil. Oops?

Matt, I like it too. I have had many disagreements derailed from the real issues by using the word privilege, and I think at this time it is more damaging to work around it.

Ouch. (Depending on the weight, ask about flat-rate boxes and envelopes. Since there is no Media Mail, sometimes Priority envelopes are cheaper than First Class boxes.)
