This is so true - but many find their way! Birds groom each other; some owls can become almost comatose when being ‘groomed’. Dolphins swim around each other to rub, and there doesn’t seem to be an obvious reason for it other than sensation. In fact some biologists argue that some of the ‘grooming’ behaviors we see in…

Fiona is the woman I want to be: Sweet, endearing, comfortable in my own somewhat wrinkly skin; unconcerned by my womanly roundness; and a complete bad ass member of an apex species that is not to be fucked with. Hippos - especially female hippos - will bring your fool self DOWN.

You do you, Happy Cow! You are the spirit cow we all want but do not deserve.

What? I did nothing of the kind. I hope she continues to improve, I wished her well, I hoped she takes up the healthcare issue (which apparently she has.)

Ah! I didn’t know that - thanks for that. Good for her. I hope she continues to mend, she seems like Good People.

I would like to see more of this bearded version of Jemaine Clement. And his partner Bret McKenzie is almost angelic.

Oh dear! I was sick about this time last year and I finally went to the doc and I was, “I’M DYING OF THE FLU” and he was all, You have a cold. You’d know if you had the flu.

I love that second gif. What is it from?

Hey, no cut-off dates! I’ve done the expat thing three times (last time at age 41-ish) and I’m seriously considering going back to Australia - for good this time! Later, Uncle Sam! - in about three years, when I turn 55.

Same! I love when Vanity Fair does those pieces - they are always so well researched. Also - where you been at, Champers? Haven’t seen you around in a while!

Jesus Christ.

If you are hesitant about running, you could volunteer for a candidate that you support - there are countless things campaigns need volunteers for. Another very important thing you could work on is voter registration drives.

Along with everyone else, I suggest both. But also, now that you have a toy that is too big, you now have a frame of reference on a better size for your next toy. I’d suggest the website Babeland. They have an AH-MAZING selection of all shapes and sizes. If you happen to live in Seattle, the have a brick and mortar on…

Love it! Altho I’m thinking the quilting shop is going to have a problem keeping the cat in place. :)
