What is this proopcast of which ya'll speak?

And yeah, the LaRoche-Posey stuff is super spendy. I still cringe every time I have to restock, but my skin loves it so much that I decided it was worth it. One tip for the higher SPF stuff: if you use it on top of anything (like moisturizer or makeup or such) make sure each layer dries thoroughly, i've read about it pilling up on the skin otherwise (a problem i didn't have, but then i don't use separate moisturizer/spf, i like it all in one application.) I only use that sunscreen on my face, neck and decolletage, cheapo-"no ad" generic stuff for the rest of the body.

Wishing you fast recovery, Strix!

We had a barbecue yesterday afternoon. Two of The Girl's friends from law school came over. Future lawyers can drink. I am a teensy bit hungover.

I am feeling kind of run down this morning, blecch, despite going to bed early and only working six hours yesterday. I guess my body is still not quite back to normal.

Woot! Something new to add to my podcast list. BTW, have I mentioned here how much I love the Stitcher app? Groups together all my podcasts. Much love.

I love it too! All the Max Fun comedy shows in one place.

I loved Greg Proops when he was on Whose Line Is It Anyway in the 90s. I'll have to check out his podcast.

Do you all like Stitcher better than Downcast (which I love on my iphone). The gesture features alone are worth the price of admission.

Burrell, have you had the cat checked for a UTI?

Now that I think of it, she started the peeing originally because of a UTI, but that was treated months ago. I wonder if that's what got her started on this pattern? Another thought I had was maybe this recent spate was triggered by Burrell's passing.

Haven't heard of that one. Worth checking out? My one complaint with Stitcher is that not enough of the podcasts I like are available on it.

Downcast is the bomb.

You can search for podcasts if you have an Internet connect and subscribe to the ones you like. Then on a schedule you determine it updates the podcasts and auto downloads new ones if you want it too.

It will not download on a 3G or 4G connection unless you tell it to.

I need some quick editing advice. In my small town, they have a page in the newspaper with pictures of all of the graduates and small ads placed by family and friends. In my ad for my daughter, I'm quoting an excerpt from a poem but the words are taken from the middle of a phrase so I had to use ellipses at the beginning and the end. I've italicized it to indicate it is a quote. It looks like this:

...quick brown fox...

I just got a proof that shows the layout people added quotation marks - but only to the end. Is that right? Given the informal context, do I need quotation marks and if I do, shouldn't they be at the beginning and end?

I know this is a strange thing to obsess about but focusing on details in times of stress is kinda my thing.
