Aw, that's great, Anne!
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2015: Goodnight moon
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2015.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
So...what you're saying, basically, is that you have a Jack Russell and a beagle in cat suits? Okay then. They're really cute!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I have been loving the brotherly love story of Finn and Eddie since you first told it -- literally ever since; it's one of my go-to smile and feel my heart lighten stories that I've kept in a side pocket of my brain for easy access whenever the world starts to crush me. I start to get wrecked; I pull Finn and Eddie out, unfold them, smooth out the creases, and my heart unclenches; I fold them up again very carefully and tuck them back into that pocket for safekeeping.

Laura, I didn’t know that! I’d love to chat with you a little more about your experience.
Anytime, of course. Profile addy good. The short version is that DH and I met in college and both got Accounting BS degrees. When we graduated I convinced him that what he really wanted to do was open a computer store with me instead of doing accounting. In 1987 accounting was all people did with computers and the background helped with doing business with business managers and owners. Also, it gave us a confidence we might not have had otherwise. So although we didn't do accounting for other people it was a great foundation for a business future. And since we are still in business and still married all these years later it worked out.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thank you, everyone!
JZ, I cannot tell you how happy that makes me. When things are stress at work, I'll sneak a peek at a picture of my cuddleboys, and it really does help.

Anne, have you read the Jenny and the Cat Club stories by Esther Averill? Your boys remind me of Edward Brandywine and Checkers.

No, I haven't read those! Thank you for the recommendation!
