On the lighter side, cats being dramatic. I especially appreciate the second one.

People against standardized spelling or people for rational spelling?

People getting up a protest against standardized spelling - I'm not sure that rational (in any sense of the word) came into it. They seemed to be advocating spelling things phonetically and not necessarily the same way across the board (imagine how someone from New England would spell something phonetically versus someone from the deep South).

Ha! I always love the poor things being bathed pictures. Oh the indignity.

Because books.
The gray one with the arm outflung and the other on his chest is pretty good, too.

not your mom's socks.
there is a rescued paralyzed kitten on instagram whose rescuer had a cart made (and also a crown) and the whole evolution is breaking my heart.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't know if I'd want a house as big as the one mentioned upthread(at least not without a cleaning staff), but there are times when I'd like a bigger place. Right now we are trying to figure out where to put bookcases. Mr. S's room was the library, and we realize we better move all of the bookcases out. (Two have already been moved so we could move the crib against the wall) Add to that the bookcases Gary's getting from his dad, who is moving to Florida, and it starts to get difficult.

Huh. That's very old-fashioned. I had not heard of that movement.
Having enough space for bookcases is a perennial problem.

I would have a library/office, a craft room, a guest room, a TV room--or rather a central TV location that could be seen from office and craft room, because I like having the TV on in the background--and a bigger than I thought I'd need kitchen, because cooking is becoming intriguing. And maybe some nice live-in person for occasional conversation who can manage cleaning and yardwork. I just realized I've described a "wife" you don't sleep with.
