If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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.

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....

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

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.

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

Ewwwww. And probably more than a little accurate.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Nova likes to lick/eat my hair. She will also lick Gary's hair, and forehead. Ow.

Y'all know about all the times Loki has a) attacked my hair, b) or my head or c) stuck his tongue in my ear.

Two neighbors' cats (two different cats) have a serious fetish for my toes.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have my dad's sweaty, stankfoot gene (seriously, the only thing I have ever thoughts about Botox is for feet) and dogs and cats love my feet.

Out of the habit -- GROAN!

Gimlet will give me an occasional finger lick, but Greer like the hair. She'll gnaw on it, if you sit in front of her on the couch.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'd say that's true. In the case of Netflix, people were willing to pay more for convenience, but then they were asking people to pay more for LESS convenience.

not your mom's socks.

Back from Amy's reading at the bookstore - she was fabulous and read to a packed house. HKF is completely charmed, and is treasuring her signed bookmark.

It's much quicker to drive that way at night - only 30 minutes on the drive home! When we got back, we discovered that the house behind us a couple doors down had been afire while we were gone. It was mostly over, but there was a lot of smoke.

I've discovered that the grumpier and more discouraged I feel, the more nice clothes I put on. Today was like that. Fair warning, in case you see me walking down the street in a formal gown at some point in the future.
