Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well done, Matt! That is a rare satisfaction.

Good job, kitten!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I really need to learn to be better with coupons.

My issue with so many of the coupons I get is that the store brand is still cheaper than the name brand and using a coupon. The main advantage to the Kroger customer card tracking information is that I get in the mail from them coupons for store brand stuff I buy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay kitten!

Yay coupons!

Boo Monday.

Ann, that's a ferret.

My sister-in-law was a champ at couponing. She almost never saved less than 20% at the grocery store, and it wasn't unusual for a cashier to call a manager to approve an order with such large savings.

Can anyone give me the reference for this quote? I've googled and get nothing. [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't think it's an actual quote -- "Paris by night is lovely by car" -- I think it's supposed to be a reference to Diana's death, implying that the queen would like the same thing to happen to Meghan.

Ahhh thank you. I was completely flaking on what the reference was. I had actually forgotten she died in Paris. Horrible person posting that. I can't report on my work phone, but maybe you all can.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, deplorable taste. As is having Camilla in that particular grouping, frankly. At her husband's side at the wedding, of course. But not in the pictures of record.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Definitely follow up with the kitten, msbelle! Not to scare you, but now would be the age when some conditions start showing up, like a heart defect. Better to get a professional opinion, or at least to make sure the next carer had a heads-up on possible problems to look out for.
