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

Unsubscribe him from all that stuff and subscribe him to Gay Atheist Orgy Monthly.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I finally begged the guy who runs the men's group, please, please tell Mr. Prinkle this is not his address. It's a little hilarious because he subscribed to them, I unsubscribed, and then he subscribed again. You know, because he never got the email from them. Kevin, you're not getting any email! This is not your email address!

And, no it doesn't work to subscribe him to stuff, because it's MY email address!

WRT to the money thing and professional athletes, it could be a money thing. One of the fascinating things about the Stefan Fatsis book is realizing that mid tier and lower pro athletes aren't as well as off, especially in football and baseball, as you might think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Places like TJ Maxx are good for older model covers.

I love TJMaxx! Good one.

Jimmie MyLastName signs up for a lot of stuff with my address.

Ugh, I cannot get my stuff to transfer from one phone to the other. Annoying!

Edit: You know, I think the problem is the wonky wi-fi I have been dealing with since I got the Android phone. Good times.

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

Timelies all!

~ma for your dad, Consuela.

It will probably surprise no one that Gary has a couple song snippets he sings about the cats. For Luna(the skittish scaredy cat) there's "The Luna-cat's under the bed(in the hall, etc)" ala Pink Floyd, and "Lunatic cat, I know you're out there"(Lunatic Fringe) Nova doesn't have any songs with her name in it, that I know of, but he sings bits of filk songs about cats at her. (Mostly "Overflowing Cat Box Blues)

Kat, I knew baseball players (especially in the minor leagues) didn't make much, but I figured a football player surely makes a decent base. But my idea of "decent" may not match the player's, I guess!

Lucy got regular choruses of Howlin' Wolf. I AM (you are) A BACK DOOR DOG...when she'd try to get let out the front.

And both get/got "I can't give you anything but love, baybee" (doggie). In response to begging, of course.

I love TJMaxx! Good one.

I got a Kate Spade sleeve for my MacBook at Winners, the Canadian version of TJMaxx, for $15. Whenever I see how much her Apple cases cost elsewhere, I feel so smug.

My iPhone cover is Roots, and my only regret is that it's black, the same colour as my bag, and so it disappears in there when I am looking for it.

meara, base has gone up dramatically since 2008, I think, when one of the CBA ran out. Prior to that base was as low as $200,000 but if you got cut in preseason, which many do, then you get like $37,000. I'm sure the new CBA is different.
