And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Whoa, P-C. That is...insane. And very sad. Also, what Bev said.

I totally did the llama drama, and now I'm about to go to work and try to get everyone there to do it.

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

Damn, PC. That sounds like a side plot in a Coen Brothers movie.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

P.-C., my jaw dropped open when I read that. How horrible.

I keep signing Bolivian llama and laughing like a loon.

Holy crap, P-C - that's just terrible.

I love the Llama Drama sign.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I love the idea of llama drama (and yes, I did the sign here at my work desk), but I need to be able to use it appropriately. When is that?

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

I'll have to share that with CJ after school. Thanks Tom. In motherly bragging mode, CJ took his written e-care (basically EMT training) test and passed with flying colors. He takes his practical test on Thursday.

Cat question - For those of you with multiple cats, do you feed them different cat food? If so, how do you keep them out of eachothers bowls? I swear Miss Kitty and Noodle have concocted a plan together. They each eat from their own bowls at first and then swap bowls. For now, they get the same kibble, so it isn't a big deal. With Miss Kitty being an elder cat, I can see the day in the future when she will have special kibble.

We have to feed our cats in separate rooms with closed doors. It seemed like it would be more of a PITA than it actually is.

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

That's awful for her and her cousin, and the tiger, of course -- that's like, the best "I missed a meeting" excuse ever.

Also, hands up(!) for llama drama.

Oy. So much to catch up on, and my office is a mess.

ita !, I was going to ask this last night, but was too tired: what is it about being predictable that makes your skin crawl? I'm not being snarky; I'm just curious.

I have a good memory, and when I was in retail or in other jobs, I found most people were pleased to know that I remembered them, and I was pretty proud of it. I didn't assume, but I would ask "The usual today?" or "Hey, check this stuff out -- I think you'll like it!"

Is it that predictability can be dangerous (like maybe you've watched too many movies like me, and always stand to the side of a door when you open it, not in front, even thought I'm 99% sure there will never be an assassin waiting to shoot me as I walk into my suburban home -- yes, I'm a freak -- whenever I hear a weird noise or a knock on the door unexpectedly, I shove a box cutter or scissors on my pocket), or that you don't like people getting, so to speak, into your head?

Oh, dear. Re: the above -- perhaps I should watch more romantic comedies and less spy and action movies/books...NAW.

Ditto on feeding the cats in different rooms. My challenge is that the cats can push open most doors in my 60-year-old house.

Actually Clio spends most days when I am work in the dining room, in an attempt to keep the cat on cat bullying down. I don't know if it's really working, or if it's the non-clay based kitty litter that's also in the room, but her fur seems to be growing back.
