For example, hitting refresh gives me:

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Night of the Living Dead and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. The story should use unplanned pregnancies as a plot device!

If he likes the box, just keep it for a bed. Better then spending the money.

I agree. My cats will typically get infatuated with a particular box for a while (maybe a couple of weeks or a month, my sense of the passage of time is embarrassingly vague) and sleep in it all the time and then, poof, it is no longer of interest and I can recycle it. Which is fine for cardboard boxes. Sadly, they do the same thing with comparatively expensive cat furniture that I have occasionally splurged on. The poor window shelf above the printer has been completely abandoned for months.

Mostly I do figure the cat has plenty of places to curl up and sleep...

As a dedicated cat pamperer, I've put soft blankets folded up in front of my cat's favorite birdwatching spots. With one he sits next to it. The other one got knocked to the floor. He'd rather sit on the hard wood.

Well done.”

The syrup I buy at TJs says refrigerate after opening, so I do. If I ever have room in my freezer I will try it there instead, since I don't go through it very fast.

In case anyone is wondering, I bought chocolate milk to mix with the espresso vodka and lemonade and sprite to go with the sweet tea vodka.

of adults 65 and over...only 11 percent sometimes use their cellphones to text.

I suspect this will continue to be the case when the current generation of teens becomes senior citizens - in the case of my grandmother, at least, she can't text because she has arthritis and bad eyesight, not because she doesn't "get" it.

Yeah. I have nerve problems and bad eyes which makes texting on a cell phone impossible. Yeah, I can add a keyboard, but it would have to be a big one, and at that point not much advantage over a netbook.
