Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Casita and bathhouse sounds lovely. Unless you are definitely sure you'd want to be in the hottub every night. Even then, with the dog and everything else, I still vote casita.

Yikes, brenda. That sounds terrible.

I thought about taking myself out for a drink tonight, but decided to come home and make mac and cheese instead.

Yeah. Ugh. I don't know for sure, but signs are pointing that way. I already knew she was losing her bonus for the year, but things have...escalated.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, no, brenda. And you mean "fire" not "lay off," right? Because both situations would well and truly suck but having to fire for cause? Holy hell. That's just crap.

Because books.

Ugh, brenda. That's awful.

Suzi, it's time to bake.

Punishingly Intricate

oh, Brenda, that's horrible.

I think the thing with moving the water bowl is actually cats doing the scratch around the water hole thing wild cats do? Maybe to mark it as their territory? (Bullshit Zoologist!) Uncle Bud has done it since he was a kitten. The bowls are on mats and are heavy ceramic so he can't drag them far now at least.

I have to go walk my friend's big lab in a bit and really I just want to sit on the couch. She's a sweetie though and will be REALLY happy to see me.

Oh god, Brenda, that's so tough.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh that's terrible, brenda.

So it snowed, and I ran around like mad, gathering kindling, refilling the birdfeeders, getting an archery session in...and now it's stopped. I guess it remembered it wasn't in the forecast? Oh well, I have a nice warm fire anyway.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

We have multiple water sources for Miss Kitty and Noodle. I had accidentally let the one in the laundry room go dry and Noodle tried her darnedest to drag it out to the livingroom so I'd refill it.

Because books.

I didn't know cats did that -- Switch doesn't move the water bowl, but he does scratch in front of it before he drinks. He's also famous for taking a mouthful of kibble, dropping on the floor in front of the bowl, and then eating it piece by piece. No idea what that's about.

Thrive to spite them

Dean and Penny both try to drink out of glasses. If I want to leave water out I have to use a water bottle.

Dean used to get bored and knock over glasses and soda cans, but now with Penny he seems less bored.

My previous cat, Anna, loooved to drink from the water faucet and she was obnoxious about it. So I've never let Dean and Penny taste from the faucet. I don't want to deal with that.

Although Penny does run into the shower and lick all the water off when I'm done.
