I don’t even look at the sizes on patterns anymore, just the measurements.

Sizing on patterns is always much higher than on store-bought clothing, even today.

“modest” dressing styles of some fundamentalist Christian women, like Mennonites, Mormons, or the Amish.

The problem with “physical education” was that there was never any education.

It should definitely ring somewhere and shouldn’t be able to be disconnected, but sending it directly to 911 (especially in larger cities with a lot of call traffic) isn’t really feasible. I mean, the only elevators that rang straight to us were in the city buildings, and we still got a ton of false alarms on them -…

The real issue is that with shallow cuts you can usually clean any bacterial contamination out of the wound with ordinary measures. With a bite, everything gets driven down to where you can’t really clean it and it’s up to your immune system, and mouths are filthy.

Luckily for me my cat actually likes the taste of the liquid antibiotic they gave me last time and would lick it off my fingers if I dribbled it on there. SO much easier than trying to shove pills down her throat.

I’ve found that if I use only half of the pocket my cat will just eat it instead of daintily nibbling off the treat part - which is good, because she has a pill she has to take daily and she doesn’t take the more forcible pilling well.

If you’re talking the Greenies ones, I find half of one is more than enough (and my cat isn’t that tiny). There are also small jars of basically the same thing, so you can just portion out however much you need.

Pill pockets seem great until you have a cat that has figured out how to eat the treat part and leave the pill behind. Sigh.

When I adopted my cat years ago I attempted to give her a bath, which....went poorly. Being new to cat ownership, I ignored the warning signs until she panicked enough to bite me (on the thumb) so she could escape. Again, new to cat ownership, I just washed the bite and stuck a band-aid on it, thinking nothing of it.

Sometimes the “emergency” button in the elevator rings directly to 911.

I don’t think anything about it, it isn’t my story.

So she’s proud of herself for deceiving her husband because she did it in a way that makes him responsible for tasks that normally fall to a woman? And that’s supposed to make it somehow better that she’s deliberately lying to him?

....are you trying to say that’s a good thing? Because my comment was that it’s the opposite of that.

This reminds me of a story I read somewhere (reddit, I think?) about a woman whose husband pretended to be completely incompetent at making deviled eggs every time she tried to teach him, because he “liked hers better” and didn’t want to admit he actually knew how to make them. Like, okay, you can like hers better,…

1. Prehaps! I’m’ve was to make football often times. Play? Know. Best football results twice again.

I suspect it would take a lot more than this to get Ontario to back out of the contract, at this point. They've been very public with their support for ALA - the mayor was there this weekend and posted photos and videos to his Facebook, for example.

Why would Ontario back out? The con already has a contract, they're bringing a ton of people/business into the city, and this didn't happen on convention grounds nor was it associated with the convention itself. Stalkers commit crimes in every city in the world.

It was also in Burbank at least one year, but most of its existence was spent at the LAX Marriott. Alas, it’s still in Ontario for at least another year.
