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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I'm watching the NOVA program on the Ulas family in Turkey whose kids walk on all fours due to some genetic thing.

I watched a bit of that too, and 30 seconds after I started watching it, I asked "(1) That looks like damage to the balance part of the brain and (2) What, no walkers?" The answer to both was that, if you live in rural Turkey, it's entirely possible to have a good guess as to what's wrong, and still have no means to do a thing about it. Seeing the son standing up at the end got me, though.

Maybe the tide is turning.

Well, it is Frontline. No advertisers to satisfy with scandalized eyeballs. What struck me most about the whole thing was that all the families involved appeared to have limitless budgets for technological gadgetry. I knew there was an up side to the digital divide! The internet apparently doesn't want your poorer daughters.

Do not tromp on the tray holding your cat's water and food dishes.

Cleaned it up, now soggy sock and flipflop are giving up for tonight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I despise wet socks.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Do not tromp on the tray holding your cat's water and food dishes.

We have a lot of problems keeping toddlers out of pet food. They're favorite thing ever is to take the cat's dry food and dump it into his water like it's cereal.

I suspect they think it's just tuna-flavored Cocoa Puffs.

At least the tray we have keeps most of the mess off the floor and makes for easier clean up (which we have to do at least once a week).

Soggy socks also suck.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wet socks are the worst. Unexpected wet socks exponentially so.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Lucy's favorite trick is tipping her chow out on to the floor to eat it, even with the bowl in the raised holder. Also sometimes just for fun.

She's pretty good about doing it without also tipping the water, so I've learned to live with it. We do have a rule that she has to eat all the floor chow before any more gets put in the bowl.

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

Wet socks are unpleasant all out of proportion to the amount of water touching you.

I can't believe how loudly my cat is snoring right now!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Wet socks are unpleasant all out of proportion to the amount of water touching you.

and wet underwear is exponentially out of proportion.
