How much do you think an opalized echnidna skull would go for? (one gem - and I use the word advisedly - was the opalized fossil jaw of an ancestor of the platypus).

More than I could realistically afford, sad to say. It's true, every now and then our fossils opalise. Very cool. (Now I wishe we'd had ceratopsians here, because how awesome would an opalised Triceratops skull be?)

shiny!

Kate,

Maybe it means the premier has a toilet in the bedroom, whereas the other two have theirs in the bathroom??

More seriously, I suspect you are probably right, that one of them has a separate toilet from the shower/bath area.

Oh dear, Amy. I'm sorry you're surrounded by that every day. Six months and start looking?

I'm no dummy, I booked the room with the toilet.

Oh yuck Amy. I do not remember that being a part of the job when you first took it. Have you just recently become aware of this?

I agree with Jesse, start looking.

That sounds like a really tough situation, Amy, I'm sorry.

Yikes, Amy. That's a tough one to wrestle with.

Also, now I am curious what you are editing.

Good lord, Trudy, so much ~ma.

Man, Trudy -- good luck to all of you.
