Is that an error I should correct or not worry about it.

I honestly don't know on that one. I feel like they should be the same, but maybe call to be sure?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, the internet tells me it's something about how dissolved the medicine is, so I'm not going to worry about it for the moment.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm not a fan of winter, but I could accept a Buffista Island in the UP, as long as the house has at least one working fireplace. Covered or enclosed walkways between the house and any guest cabins would also be nice.

I like that the description of the basement on that house is "Michigan." The basement is Michigan. Which, unfortunately, sounds like a plot point out of a Harry Dresden novel.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

A friend of mine once had a cat that had to be given pills. The usual struggles ensued, to the point I suggested that the pills were placebos and the purpose was the struggle, to get the (overweight) cat some exercise. One morning, the cat was pilled and, on being released, jumped on my friend's shoulder, spat the pill into her shirt pocket, and jumped down and ran off.

Art Crawl!!!

One of the guest cabins should be a library/cafe.

Does the UP get enough snow that there could be snow tunnels between the cabins - like in Hokkaido? (Or so said my mother when I was a child. .. she had cousins that skied to school in the winter.)

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

Goth chicken! If I can't have outlaw bees, maybe I can raise goth chickens?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Toddson, we swear by our pill popper. It's a syringe large enough to put a pill in and, if we do it right, send the pill right down the cat's throat.

Why am I arguing on FB with someone about whether it's okay to call an actual Nazi a Nazi? Dude is all "the word is thrown around too freely to refer to anyone a liberal doesn't like, and it leads to people getting punched!" And I'm all "the word is used to refer to someone who advocates for the elimination of entire demographics of humanity, and that IS someone who deserves to be punched!"

How is this a question in 2017? In fact, how it is 2017 and we are having conversations about Nazis that aren't referencing The Sound of Music but actual shitbags in the White House? God almighty.
