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

Happy birthday, JessiMoon! I've known you since the 20th century!

The other night at dinner we were talking about a school assignment Aeryn had about immigration in "the 20s" and then Dylan jumped in with "You guys....it's the 20s NOW" which was just such a rude thing to point out even if it was both relevant and true.

Of all the NYT games I have the worst record on this one. Then I slap my forehead when I see the answers. Working on the archive to hopefully get better.

Thrive to spite them

Happy Birthday Jessica.

I'm avoiding the news because every time I look at it there is something more depressing.

M and I went up to Mom's and toon M to the locally owned toy store so he could get something cool for his birthday. Which he did a really cool model car. We also had scones and a nice visit. Mom had found this cat pattern quilt which I will admit several years ago I might have turned my nose up at for being ...too much ...but it's comfy and awesome and she got it because we are Cat People

Came home and found out the Kitten M's Mom brought home this summer has something really wrong with its paw. Its a sickly kitten and she hasn't taken it to get any kind of vet care. I don't want to be financially responsible for that kitten but it's in pain and limping badly so I'm calling the vet tomorrow. I'm only paying for its paw. M's mom was like "I'll pay you back but not next month I have to buy Xmas presents" (except every adult has told her not to buy them anything to just pay off her debts)

And then we are calling the animal shelter about surrounding the kitten. I feel horrible about that but I cant afford vet bills for a sickly cat. Its bad enough with Scrappy getting into fights and having to deal with is nonsense and this kitten isn't even mine.

Happy birthday, Jessica!

Lisah, I’m moving to northwestern Oakland County. My apartment application was accepted and I’ll likely be moving around 11/23.

Askye, surrendering the kitten under these circumstances sounds like a good idea.

Congrats. Calli!!

I’m sorry, Askye, it does sound like surrendering the kitten might be the best option for it
