Jesse's right, the universe needs to shape up. Lots of ma to those who need it.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, I just found out another of my Aunts is giving us a good hard scare.
My Aunt E is... maybe 55? She's off the vent and going to be ok, but she went into kidney failure and had to be taken off all her psych meds and its going to be a long road getting her back on her feet.
So if you could send any good vibes to her and my Cousin M who is working, in nursing school, and has spent the last three weeks dealing with her very sick mother without TELLING anybody I'd appreciate it.

Tiggy, also pretty. And more practical, really. This can be dressed up or down with hair and jewelry and whatnot.

Pretty dress, tiggy! Seems like it would be very flattering.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sorry, Aims. That sucks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Come back, Nutty! Who else will nobly do battle with cheetahs on squash courts on your birthday?!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is depressing: 10 American Industries That Will Never Recover: 24/7 Wall Street (PHOTOS)
It has become clear that jobs in some industries may never come back or if they do it will take years or decades for a recovery....
Some of the industries are obvious. Detroit will never employ the number of people it did five years ago. Domestic car sales hit 16 million in 2005 and 2006. That number will be closer to 11.5 million in 2010. More cars and light vehicles are made overseas now, in places like Mexico, to keep labor costs down.
Home construction is another industry that will almost certainly not recover. Home inventories are still extremely high and home prices have fallen to the levels where they were in 2004. Prices in some markets, which include Las Vegas, Florida and parts of California have dropped 60% to 70%. New construction in those markets will not begin again in the foreseeable future.
Here is the list of the ten jobs categories that will not recover based on 24/7 Wall St. research....
