Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Timelies. Just caught up. Wanted to give a belated thanks for all the birthday happies I received. Very relaxing weekend, though one of my plans got frelled up.
Off to catch up in Bithces.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Here's something I didn't know: By law, a deactivated cellphone must still be able to call 911.
Apparently a mother who let her 4 year old daughter keep a deactivated cellphone didn't know this either. So guess what - her daughter used it to call 911. Not just once, but almost 300 times.
July 05,2007 | CARPENTERSVILLE, Ill. -- Authorities tracked down a 4-year-old girl who called 911 nearly 300 times last month by offering to deliver McDonald's to her suburban Chicago apartment.
Unbeknownst to her mother, the girl used a deactivated cell phone to call dispatchers 287 times in June -- sometimes as often as 20 times a shift.
Dispatchers heard the child's voice but could only track the phone's signal to the apartment complex.
So authorities used a ruse to pinpoint her.
"We asked (the caller) what she wanted. She said she wanted McDonald's," said Steve Cordes, executive director of QuadCom's emergency center, which covers Carpentersville.
"We talked with her and we convinced her if she told us where she lives, we would bring her McDonald's," he said. "She finally gave us her address. So we sent the police over -- with no McDonald's."
After police arrived, the girl's mother took away the phone, Cordes said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No McDonald's??? How is that kid ever supposed to trust authority figures?
This past weekend we watched a kid toy with the ticket machines at the cinema after her mother had run the credit card through. We were kinda hoping she'd hit the "No, really, I do want all 297 tickets" button before her mother noticed, but no such luck.

Yeah, she'll end up being a damn-cynical kindergartener....

I don't have a cellphone. Not even a deactivated one.

I'm so yawny.
Try breathing through your nose. Or applying an ice pack to your head. Both cool the brain down and the brain being warm is what seems to cause yawning...this is what I learned in the Sun paper this morning.
What I learned this afternoon is lemon tartlette from Bonaparte Breads is sweet and tart and deeelicious!
