Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
If you have clear skies the next few nights, have a look at Jupiter, Venus, and the new Moon: [link]

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ohhhh, thank you, dcp. I remember Venus kissing the moon way back in college, and everyone running out to the quad to see them together. So happy to get to see them again, this time with Jupiter getting in on the action (Emmett, who is a big fan of the night sky and the visible planets, is also very, very happy).

Opinion and shoe help needed: I have a pair of shoes where my heel slips out of the heel cup. I can't get the next size down because then it would kill my toes. Is there a way to fix heel slippage in shoes?

Like these (although I've never seen designer shoe inserts before; I think the brand I always found was Dr. Scholl's): [link]
Or this link shows you (in the second picture) how they go in the heel part of your shoe: [link] (although I think you would have figured it out anyway, since you're a smart cookie).

I've used the inserts that stick to the inside of the heel and I've had great luck with them.
Tonight was Parent/Teacher night at the high school. Basically you queue up at each classroom to get 5 minutes with the teacher and then it is off to the next classroom. I just went to the classes where CJ has low grades. In each case, they praised his knowledge, energy, classroom behavior and such. He just sucks at the details. Having the proper number of references, turning things in on time, and, oh, writing his name on assignments.
I talked to the teacher in the class with the missing assignments (she is preggie and due in 15 days!!!). It seems to be a case of him not putting his name on the assignment and not checking the "unidentified" folder. So freaking frustrating. She gives them a week to check that folder and then the papers go bye-bye.

That's super irritating, suzi!
Steph, those are EXACTLY what I need.
Noah's on a roll of funny crap tonight. He just came out and asked for socks, so I gave him a pair. Then he said, "Can we snuggle every day?" I agreed and said, "Let me snuggle you now." He replies with, "Howabout no snuggles now. We'll just hug then go to bed."
Sigh.
