Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse's really particular, Amy. It's weird.

no one thinks she's a bad cat owner

I do! I should have her kittens. I need fluffy little bouncy things with stubby little tails that stick straight up.

Because books.

It's okay! You don't have to add it. I just submitted it because the mood struck me.

Good news about the first chemo, ita, even if it took me a minute to remember what "fanny" means in the UK.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec and Scola, I thought I should inform you that Ryan North will be writing Adventure Time comics.

I did not know that. That is kind of a genius combination of geniusosity. They should let Kate Beaton do an issue.

Thrive to spite them

Cats are being fed. I've restated that kittens need to eat more and more often than adults. Also that we didn't know when she was home last/fed the cats last.

Neighbor's Mom was pissed at me and tried to close the door in my face when I was talking to Neighbor.

I did the best I could and I told her I'd be willing to take them when she moves. And that I could look in on them if she's going to be gone a long time.

I'm still worried she's only feeding them once per day but there's nothing else I can do.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yay, for ita !'s mom!

Heh. UK fanny pak.

If, in the UK, you have a merkin with a pocket, would that make it a fanny pack?

Glad the first round is going well for your mom, ita !, and continued good thoughts as it goes along.

askye, I'm so glad you're there helping the kitties and their owner.

Perkins! House offer!

OK, the dog by his owner's graveside was just... wow. I'm glad they're building him some shelter.

Packed. Now I need to pack the car, throw out garbage, clean before I leave, shower, and leave! Packing the car is going to be the most challenging part of that. I've actually reduced the amount of stuff I came with, and all of that fit in one car load, but it doesn't look that way. Well, we're bad at judging volume in general, right? Right.

Trust my rage

Math/computer people: I have a column of positive and negative numbers in Excel. I want Excel to add all the positive numbers while ignoring the negative ones. I don't know how to write a formula to do that, though. Is this possible in Excel?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Stephanie, yes.

I would probably copy and paste them into a new column and sum the column

Column A has the numbers

Column B transforms Column A = IF(A2>0), A2,0)

Then Sum(B:B) to sum the column.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Jesse's really particular, Amy. It's weird.

But it's the Heartbreaking Tearjerker of the Day!?! Very sad.
