Abebooks has created a web page devoted to weird books
Which, I believe, is where I found my copy of "The Recently Deflowered Girl." [link]
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I will be hard pressed not to do all my Christmas shopping there this year. The only question is which of my brothers should receive "Nuclear War: What's In It For You?" (Kidding! I know exactly which brother should receive it.)

So good of you to be there, and to stay, JZ. That's so hard and I know it must have helped to have you there. And I'm glad that you're finding some comfort, too.
We also have those crane flies in our house, only we don't call them crane flies or daddy long legs, we call them mosquito eaters, mostly I think to reassure ourselves that they aren't hugenormous mosquitos.
We always called them mosquito hawks. Like chicken hawks, but for mosquitoes. I think. I didn't actually recognize them in the crane fly picture but that's what it sounds like Burrell is describing, so I'm gonna go with that.
If I don't get back from browsing the weird books in three days, send supplies.

JZ, that's a hard and right thing you did.
I'm doing a last load of laundry and first pass at packing. Flight isn't until 2:30, so I'll do the last pass at packing and a quick vacuum tomorrow. May or may not squeeze a swim in. Not counting on it, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is $10/visit the right amount to pay a neighbor kid to catsit?

Sounds about right. I think last time I had professionals coming to take care of my critters it was not far off from that, I think.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It's what I pay E per shot when I escape for a weekend. Professionals are twice that for me.

That makes me think it's too much! But whatever, it's fine.
Edit: -t's response, I mean, not msbelle's.

Everyone at the airport is annoying me. I should just put in my earphones, rock out and bury my nose in my book. My headache is still lingering and I don't want to chance making it worse. I think my whiskey with dinner didn't take.

I was paying that (a bit more, but not a whole lot) per animal per visit. So for one pet I think it's reasonable. Offsetting volume and professionalness. And it's a nice round number, which is good. $5 would be too low, I think.
