But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

When Emmett left for college he left one instruction for Matilda: "Teach her the good comedy, Dad."

So we're watching Bob's Burgers and she doesn't know what Erotic Friend Fiction is.

I actually found some good bras at Lane Bryant. I bought them because they matched my skin tone, but they have proved to be quite flattering. More than my $60 Walcoals.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Askye, in summer a sprinkler on a motion detector will deter the neighborhood cats. However since neither of us is cruel enough to do that in a New England winter (not to mention that it's not practical anyway), you might think about trying something like this: [link] or the SSSCat spray. I am not entirely certain how well those will work out in the cold, but it might be worth a try. If Penny is feeling territorially threatened, who knows how she will try to defend her territory.

Thrive to spite them

I can't do the sprinkler because I don't have an outside water source. Lately the cats haven't been an issue because it's too damn cold. The lease states no outdoor pets but I know one of the cats belongs to someone who has lived here nearly a decade so I'm nit going to make a fuss.

I'll look into the sound thing. As long as it doesn't bother Penny. The outside cats don't really do anything but sit there and look like smug assholes.

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 assume all cats look like smug assholes. Because mine always have. Dim, half-deaf and thinks she can defeat a Shepherd in straight battle but Puppycat is still a smug asshole. And despite her name, loathes the puppy.

I found a slightly minimizing bra at Target. Right now for my lifestyle, body and boob needs, they are perfect. I bought a couple in every useful color.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

(Because of my shoulder problems, I need the straps to be set pretty close in to my neck, and most bras that come in my cup size have straps set further out, which puts pressure on some already-painful parts of my shoulder joint.)

Have you taken a crack at racer back bras or the clips that can make a regular bra more racer-shaped?

I've tried on a few, but none of them really fit right.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

OK, so a job opening I've been sort of waiting on (a friend in the department gave me a heads up at New Years) has finally posted. I applied within an hour of it hitting the jobs site. Here's hoping something comes of it. It's at a local university, so close that I could walk to it. It looks interesting, it pays reasonably well, and I'd know (and like) at least one person in the department. Any available job~ma would be appreciated, please.
