Who's your carrier again? I'm pretty sure my sister's bought a UK SIM as well as a US SIM for her Jamaican phone. And I could buy a Kenyan one for my (T-Mobile or maybe AT&T) phone.
Verizon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Ginger!
So apparently I went to Chicago for warmer weather and lack of snow? I still have not really seen any Chicago tourist attractions, but I'm sure I'll be back, since my friend was moving there. What I did see was several great friends, one tiny baby (8 weeks today!), and a bunch of real estate -- I felt like I was on House Hunters. Good times.

We had over 350 kids at my mom's house last night. We really didn't expect that many. Thankfully, we could tag-team trips to get more candy. We had 200 bags of candy made up, but needed way more. The best costume was a middle school kid, who was wearing khaki Dockers, a button- down shirt and horn rimmed glasses, and had the shirt half unbuttoned to reveal his Superman costume. We had a large assortment of fairies, butterflies, a bunch of bananas (5 kids), and a very small Capt Jack Sparrow. The funniest part of the evening was the line of kids waiting to pet my mom's ancient chihuahua (dressed as a pumpkin) after they got their candy.
My youngest, who is a high school sophomore and his friends went trick-or-treating last night, but since they are all in marching band, they wore their band jackets and played songs for their candy. I heard many compliments on their efforts.
ETA: Happy birthday, Ginger!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Ginger!
We ended up getting a good number of trick-or-treaters last night. (We bought two bags of candy and all but three or four were given out. One piece per trick-or-treater.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah. I don't know if Verizon uses SIM cards. I was going to get a Jamaican SIM card so I could just have a Jamaican number, period, but you have to use it every three months or so. And I'm only back one a year under good conditions. And I'd never remember to send that four-times-a-year text message in order to keep it alive.

My cat Oz is a nose-licker. It's not as bad as when I first got him and he would stalk me while I slept. As soon as I stirred he would launch at my face and start licking my nose. Now, he mostly respects my boundaries, and I let him have a little lick now and then. He will groom my whole face sometimes.

Sue,
I would find that completely untenable. I do not want my nose licked. at all.

This Halloween was the first year in twenty that I did not even reach for my nun's habit. With everything going on, I could not muster it. I'm kind of glad I didn't try.
Happiest of Birthdays, Ginger! May this be your best year yet!
Bartleby is a big time licker. He is indiscriminant as to body part, but shows a marked preference for feet and hands. Much nudging of shoes in a 'take these off!' sort of way, occurs.

So you're out of the habit?

I won't lie, after three years, I still find it a little offputting. It used to be almost compulsive, but now he's a lot better.
