Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Pippin? The Ben Vereen part can be played by a girl.

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

Jesse, my vet got me in touch with a mail order pharmacy that can take most common cat medicines and compound them into yummy cat treats. It doesn't work for all drugs, since some things need to be coated so they don't get absorbed right away, or would react badly with the food material, but for the ones that it does, it's a godsend. Pricier than just the regular pills, but then it's not just the convenience you're paying for, it's making sure your cat gets the medicine inside of him.

I cannot recommend Northwest Compounders www.northwestcompounders.com/ enough if you go this route. They are actually near me (currently) but mailed most of the meds anyway. Superfast and helpful even figuring out which flavors were most palatable with each med (oil or water suspensions and stuff). You can refill online and they'd (if you want) keep your address and payment on file.

Kittenish would not do pills. But the compounded liquids were pretty easy because she couldn't really spit them out. Needle-less syringe and presto.

You can e or post if you have questions. I medicated her for years and years.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think Pippin might be too dancey and too much sex presented pastorally.

Dana, they may not have any African-American girls audition.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

A friend of mine is trying to find a musical for her students (HS) to do next year. Female-heavy is preferred, cast of no more than 30, nothing horribly complicated (no Sondheim, for example). They did Bye, Bye, Birdie this year. Ideas?

Sweet Charity?

Punishingly Intricate

Sorry for going on about it, people-who-don't-care.

I care!!! I was totally traumatized this winter trying to get Swifty to take a bunch of pills that were meant to maybe stop him from seizuring. He also was a basically easy-going cat but SO BAD at pills. And he didn't have many teeth. You'd think it would have been easier to stuff pills in him. But it wasn't.

If he likes people food, I'd try the hiding pills in that trick.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Carousel? I mean, there's all kinds of issues to get around, but there's really only one major male part.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Stupid cats. I'll see if he flips back to taking the treat easily. Could happen!
