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.

le nubian, I'll have to take a look at it. Sounds like it might do well where iTunes does not.

The great thing about Stitcher is that it's streaming rather than downloading. Useful when your phone memory fills up too fast.

Escrow is officially opened. Deposit check is in their hands. Tons of papers signed and initialed. Eep!

lcat, I'd say quote marks at both ends or neither, and if it's a well-known and recognizable poem then no quotes at all is fine (not usually, but a loving parental message to the new graduate is pretty informal and you are unlikely to be dinged for improper citation format).

I loved Greg Proops when he was on Whose Line Is It Anyway in the 90s.

Trivia: He was on that because he and Mike McShane had been in the same improv troupe since their undergrad years at SF State University, and once McShane started getting lots of love from Whose Line... he made it his mission to drag as many friends over to England as possible to show off their awesome funniness to as many people as possible, since they weren't getting all the props they deserved out here.

And eek and yay, omnis!

And, seriously, bribe juliana to do up your new place for you.

Damn, sj, I'm very sorry, and especially sorry that your bank is being so assy and useless, but very glad the actual household funds are safe.
