The first time I read this, I missed the dog part: [link]. Still, at least cats wait until you're dead, right?

Of course. Cats are smarter. More meat on a whole body than just a toe.

Please, someone tell me why I have a crush on Zac Efron. Summerland? Firefly? Seriously? I've never even seen him on the big screen.

baby Simon! I am a bad fan, I needed imdb to tell me.

I've been chuffed to see some people on my FB who've been posting the Prop 8 news, people who I know from long ago or not in a political sense so I don't so much know where they stand.

It's unsurprising to me who was really, really silent today. People that I want to still like but really it's good there are states between us because we're so different.

I'm totally going to invite ladies back to my room to feast upon my magnificent tomatoes and enormous cucumbers.

Kinda love shrift. Just for the phrasing.

Life is really good. There's just a lot of it right now.

Wow, that's a great sentiment. I need to put that in my "I wish I said that" file.

Cindy, I know. But without K and the kids then I'm stuck with just my dad and that's a stress of a whole 'nother time! I know K can totally handle it, but it's hard to be the only one with no one for relief. She's been doing it for the past two weeks while I've been teaching and it's exhausting. I think if I fly I have to take Noah too because it's too hard otherwise.

Oh, I'm sorry. I gotcha.

FWIW, I didn't mean to be all up in your business. I'm sorry about that. When Chris and Julia were babies (and had pneumonia and RSV) and Ben was wee, both my parents got sick at the same time (with different strains of pneumonia). My father had a fall and ended up in the hospital and then a PT rehab, and since I'm an only child, everything sort of fell to me and it nearly broke me, so I tend to mother-hen young mothers who are getting it from all sides, but I shouldn't. I know you'll find your way through.

Sorry I fell off the planet.

Heh. Can Miracleman or someone get Allyson a gravity generator?

Good morning, everyone.

Good morning!

our awesome nurse who actually got Grace to eat some applesauce by mouth today.

Woot! That is awesome.

Hey, can someone please parse CSA for me? I get that it must be some sort of produce co-op sort of thing, but I can't work out the letters.

In the news: 40 U.S. Billionaires pledging to give half their wealth to charity.

IONews, I'm thinking of changing my name to Charity.

Community supported agriculture.

I didn't remember that Zac Efron was in Summerland. So, that show produced or possibly showcased two teen idols? Interesting. (I don't think I watched the complete run of that show either.)

Also, Zac Efron was on an episode of NCIS. Not that I remembered that without IMDB!

Snerk. You know, on the one hand I think that's great. On the other hand, I can't help but suspect that many of them got rich by underpaying a lot of people, or laying them off. I'm such a socialist. But goodness knows nonprofits can use the funds.

I had the same socialist thought, smonster.

I have also decided to try and be amused, instead of angry, at the people in my area who are very angry about a rate hike in our electric and gas bill, which has been kept artificially low by the state. Because they are the same people who are anti-socialism. And also apparently unaware of what socialism is. My boss seriously asked me why I continued working if I was a liberal-- didn't I think the state should take care of me!

Unfortunately, due to reading Animal Farm at an early age, I feel like pure socialism doesn't really work either, so I don't know what I think is a solution.

Ok- I am about to explodiate with RAGE at UPS. I ordered a whole bunch of clothes that I really really wanted and was looking forward to, at a HUGE discount. They attempted delivery three times. Each time I singed the info notice and left it on my door. Each time, I cam home, found the info notice on the ground in front of the door, and another info notice. I called this morning, because uaually there is a notice that they are holding the package, and where. Well, it turns out that I had to call them by 7 pm last night because they no longer hold the packages, and I needed to call the shipper. So I call the shipper, and they cannot just ship the package back to me, they have to refund me, and re-sell them to me, and I will lose my discount! Grrr!

I hope your Dad's surgery goes smoothly Kat.
