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.

ETA: He's a strange little cat, but he's 98% a great little cat. Though at 20 lbs., he's not so little.

Oh god, Gracie has just started with the licking thing and it is so freaky. She's more about ears. But she'll get all up in my face when I'm lying in bed and be really pushy and ew.

Part of me thinks she's checking to see if I'm dead yet and testing for doneness so she can eat me.

Part of me thinks that's less creepifying than other alternatives.

Testing for doneness is the exact phrase I often use.

Muppet likes to lick my roommate's hair. I've told her (the roommate) to stop using fish-oil shampoo....

All righty, I have arranged for International voice, data, and text plan to be added to my phone for the duration of my trip. The monthly cost will be prorated to that time (according to the CSR I spoke to.) Very helpful!

People are super helpful when you tell them you're travelling for a funeral.

I remember reading Netflix lost 800,000 members, but that seems high. Some of them were no doubt due to the increase in fees, not just the proposed split in companies. Which still stands.

In my less charitable moments, I think people will often tolerate an increase of fees but if you make us create a whole new account for something we previously had access to, we get shirty.

Ewwwww. And probably more than a little accurate.
