Jesse, I was really confused, because there is a local news story about Everest Institute (a for profit junior college) closing suddenly and I am sick of hearing about it.
Sick of that too! (Not really.)
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks sj! I have lots of friends in Baltimore from living in DC, and thankfully all but one or two are posting...well, "awesome" isn't the right word, because it's still shitty, but at least it's things I want to support?
If I hear one more thing about people on Everest, I might scream.
Oh man, glad someone else is with me. I mean, yes, sucks for them, but does it suck more than for regular people in the street? Rather doubt it.

Steph - I have a cat who sneezes bloody mucous all over - she has an inoperable tumor in her nose. She's old and doesn't get around much, so I've just put towels down over her favorite places and wash them regularly. When she's gone I'm getting rid of the beds in the cat room which have become rather gross, but then I've been planning to do that anyway.
I'm glad to read that a humidifier helps Folly. I may need to try that with Lily.
Getting Lily to eat is also an issue - sometimes I think she can't smell the food through the blockage and the blood. At this stage I'm sticking to smelly food (salmon smells stronger than tuna, at least to me) and warming it up in the microwave to make it small even stronger. Sometimes that helps.
Good luck!

Particularly since they either paid or were paid to do something that they knew might kill them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hello, bennett!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Best wishes for the sick kitties.

Poor sickly kitties. Get better! Stop worrying your bipeds!
Dammmit, Jilli, I wish I'd known you were in KS. I could have returned your corset and given you some MAC eye powder. And brought you a delicious cupcake and hugged you.
I completely spaced on emailing you, because the run-up to this con was ridiculous thanks to the day job. But! It looks like I'll be there next year, so we can maybe plan a little bit better.
I was gone for three business days. THREE. Why is my inbox a nightmare?
I know this pain. I am looking through this pain right now.

My BFF's difficult child got suspended from school for a week. For hitting a classmate. She's seventeen, for heaven's sake. She's FB messenging me asking me what to do. "Go back in time and NOT hit anyone" apparently wasn't helpful.
