Tusk. And then just the Rumors album over and over. It’s okay to just listen to Go Your Own Way on repeat. Also Sara.

Replying to myself to say thanks to all of you for the good wishes- Jazzy had kind of a bad night, panting like nuts from the prednisone and then she slipped and hurt her front leg a little when she tried to climb the stairs to go to bed. My dad was rationalizing that she is still going ok but I swear I am not going…

He likes attention when i’m working.. is there a way to make the photo smaller btw?

I haven’t nailed down a design yet, because that’s something I’d rather do with a specific artist. The idea has been floating around in my mind for a long time though. I’d either want it straight across the inside of my wrist, or wrapped around the inside edge of the wrist. Probably 2 inches wide or so. As far as the…

My youngest wrote something in this vein for his poetry unit.

They can take my kinja, but they can never take MY FREEDOM

I’ve been dyeing my hair like every other month since I was 11 (so, 15 years ago), so there’s a possibility I won’t even notice any grey hairs until there are a lot of them (in my 40s I guess). In any case, I think I shouldn’t get very many, ‘cause I seem to have inherited my mom’s hair and she doesn’t have many…

Lots of love to you and your family. I unfortunately know how hard this is. If you aren’t already, I would suggest Al-Anon or counseling for yourself. Best of luck to you both.

You’re not failing him; you’ve cared for him for so long and will continue to do so as well and as long as you are able. A few years ago, I lost one of my sweet kitties to a brain tumor when he was barely a year old. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. Being responsible for his comfort and…

Absolutely, take him home and visit him there for daily maintenance. He’s freaking out, and naturally enough! As far as he knows, this is suddenly his new home and new people, for no reason. I can’t imagine why any of you thought it was a good idea to relocate him for this time. He must be terrified.

You’re probably right about the out-of-bounds piss and shit is a behavioral thing. Some cats do not do well without their home/people/routine. The vomiting could easily be stress, too. HOWEVER, it never hurts to go to the vet. If it doesn’t appear to be an emergency, wait until Monday.

I have a wrist tattoo and love it. People do ask about it, and I think it may have cost me one potential job at a snooty company, but you said you already have a forearm tattoo, so nothing new. My personal rule is I have to want each new tattoo I get for five years before pulling the trigger. It’s worked out well for…

Daddy to four of the sweetest late dogs, including the incomparable Miss Dixie, who has made a few appearances here on Jez. You are doing such a wonderful thing for Jazzy. All things must pass, but it’s how they’ve lived, and how you’ve lived with them that gives meaning to life. You’ve given her a life lived well and…

I think the cat is fine but is stressed and trying to mark his territory. He may also not be used to the food you feed your cat. If it were me I’d take him home and stop by and feed him once a day.

I wish you a lot of luck and God speed in this situation. It’s tough but you made the right call.

Fun fact, the absinthe bath features screaming poets, a used chamber pot, and a bipolar fairy. I kid, I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Someone brought a BABY to Age of Ultron?! I would have flipped out. I am strictly “no babies in movie theaters” unless it’s like a Mommy and Me kiddo flick on a weekday morning or like a G-rated matinee. I expect babies at those (which is why I don’t go to those). But an obviously adult movie? Fuck those people. I had…

Sending my husband to rehab on Tuesday. Last ditch effort to save his life, our marriage, what have you. I'll be moving out of our apartment, terminating the lease, and moving back in with my parents while he's gone, and he'll go to sober living for veterans when he gets out. If he completes treatment and stays clean…

Mascara and concealer!
