Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!  

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, 2016.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay you guys, yay!

A general suggestion to post here if you're going to be out of town over the next few weeks, and are participating in the gift exchange whose abbreviation I cannot remember. I mean, feel free to post your travel plans regardless, I'm not the boss of you!

I'll be out of town from December 18th-27th but there will be someone at my house every day feeding my cat, or the post office will hold packages for me if they're sent for pick-up.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Good point, Jesse! And I'm sticking close to home over the holidays.

Our wings are not tired.

I shall be floating in the Caribbean from the 18th to the 26th and posting many pictures of relaxed bliss. My son and GF will be home to get mail, but they work during the day.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'll be rambling around the midwest from 12/23-12/27, with my mail on hold. Our mail carrier/post office doesn't always recognize the whole "hold mail" concept, but I'll also have people in and out for cat care, so if a package shows they'll know what to do.

I'll be in the midwest tomorrow through the 21st but have housesitter there who will bring mail in.

Oh yay, glad my first round of cards is getting to folks! Thanks Lisah!

I'll be out of town 12/20-29 but my roommate will be home

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I'll be out of town from 12/24 - 1/2, but I'll have people in every day for cat care and checking my mail.
