Think I have my catsitting for Xmas all sorted out. But they are the same ones who just covered my ass at TG . I got both a good bottles of Prosecco and cookies, but I feel like I want to do more for Xmas, since I've bribed them with a bottle of wine in the past. Suggestions? What would be a good gift for a couple with 2 kids under 7 and a newly married couple just returned from honeymoon?

Yeah, Time Warner. How wide is wide? I need company for my misery.

I think I would need to jailbreak the G2 for TMobile. How come I'm so alone in sucking so hard at onscreen keyboards that I refuse to use them? How is the phone?

My only issue with jailbreaking a phone is about how I would keep the OS up to date. Which isn't an issue with the Cliq, since it is at 1.6 when the rest of the world is past two.

Just watched the season finale of Terriers. Tim hasn't changed a bit.

Not alone, dude. I need tactile, man.

Tim hasn't changed a bit.

And also, this is a true fact.

Speaking of cat-sitting, we've arranged for a local pet business to come in and feed that cats. In the meantime, Taz's bladder crystals have reared their ugly head and now we're nervous about leaving him for 4 days. The vet said we could board him at their office, but I really do not want to do that to him.

It's not weird to think that the pet place would have some medical abilities? Like, I could pay a little extra for him/her to hang out beyond the feeding time just to see if Taz goes into the litterbox several times an hour?

I think I would need to jailbreak the G2 for TMobile.

No, I'm on TMO.

One thing I love about the phone is Swype typing. So awesome. I got it because I didn't want to be without the keyboard option, but with Swype I pretty much never use it. Still, it's there. And it's a QWERTY.

ETA: Swype, you just drag your finger across the touchscreen keyboard for the word you want - you don't hit the keys individually. It takes a little getting used to but once you do it's super fast and very accurate.

Nora, whenever I leave the cats, I contact my vet and let them know that if some stranger (named or not) needs to bring in Mister Kitty for whatever reason, I'm good for the bill and they are ok with that. Or any other of my cats, but MK is the one most likely. I show the sitters where the carriers are and offer to reimburse for the time and trauma.

In my case, I know someone will be over every 12 hours (or more often, E's daughter loves MK and Loki's friendliness, so they do a lot of visits) and that's sufficient.

Aha. I see the G2 on the site now. Which is ridiculously incompatible with my phone, but never mind. What version of Android are you running?

It says software version 2.2.

I am so envious of you. I feel like there should be a lemon law. I bought this stupid Cliq outright, and it has been nothing but trouble. Hardware issue after issue. Sigh.

Yay Kathy!

Re the dieting thing, I think I'm where Calli is in many ways--I could diet and exercise like crazy, or I could not take so much time to worry about my food and be lazy, and just be ok with the extra weight. Now granted, lately I've gotten in some very bad habits and am eating way too much and not exercisIng at all, which is not what I mean--I weigh more than I'd like now. But even when I was more in shape and felt awesome I wasn't really dieting, just working out (and weighing 20 pounds less than now...but still 20 pounds more than "perfect")
