Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Congratulations, Kat! That's awesome!

I'm an introvert and independent and solitary, but I love me some community, and quickly gravitate to being an active member.

That describes me to a tee. I love my solitude and quiet, but there's something about a close-knit (but not omnipresent) community that fills a deep-seated need.

-t, good for you on the running!

Muppet -- the cat I never complain about -- had an accident 'outside the box' this morning, which revealed rusty-colored urine, so it's off to the vets when they open.

::sadly watches dollars waft away, and reminds herself how much joy the cats bring her::

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

Timelies all!

Really need to pack, and yet I'm sitting here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jesus, is that listing suggesting it could be a teardown? With the language about the buildable square feet?

No, I think it's just that you could double the size of the house by putting an addition on that sticks out into the backyard. (It's a concrete yard like we have, basically a giant square driveway.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Go, -t! That's a great accomplishment!

sara, I hope the pool drama resolves quickly, so that you may swin whenever you wish.

Theo, sorry to hear about Muppet. Crossing my fingers for both of you, and fist-bumping you in the solidarity of giving all the monies to the vet. D is apparently diabetic, but managed to hide it (the recent heat wave didn't help, since ALL of the cats were drinking water like crazy) until yesterday morning when he was on the verge of collapse.

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

My old cat Solomon had rusty and/or dark yellow pee, and started peeing out of the box, which is how I found out he was diabetic. I thought it was going to be a real pain and expense having a diabetic cat, but I just stuck him when he was eating each morning, and he didn't even notice! And me with my needle phobia -- fur makes ALL the difference.

I hope Muppet is OK.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Best to muppet

Seconded.

Thanks for all of the congratulations.

So, today is the anniversary of when Grace came home permanently. It's been 4 years which feels like forever.
