Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

the baby's name was going to be Oatmeal, until they learned they were going to have a brother and then it had to be changed because Oatmeal is a girl's name. So the new name was Fire.

This is delightful!

Our wings are not tired.

It was in the 20s here last night! Still only 32. Our short visit to Otter Lake is going well. Going to my great nephew's coral concert tonight. (he's 13) Thinking about heading back tomorrow. Considering doing some visits on the trip south since it won't be as big a hurry as the trip north. My nephew and wife decided that we would have to take their bedroom during our stay because they couldn't visualize us sharing a double bed. They have a dog 1-1/2 times Skinner's size and they have been enjoying each other's company. This morning they were playing tug-o-war with a rope toy, which was soooo cute. Alas, I was too busy enjoying the show to remember to take a video. Next time!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, lots of people recommending Jilli on this Ask A Manager post about how to transition to goth at the office: [link]

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

As well they should! It does give me a warm glow

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Also shows good sense. I remember in her book, on the list of what the goth wardrobe needs, the first item is multiple lint rollers.
