24! Wow! My kitty is 16 1/2, and I'm starting to deal with the grooming issue. She still grooms, I think their little tongue barbs just wear down and don't clean as effectively. She's got much shorter hair than your girl, which is lucky, but she's had bad teeth for years (I think it was somewhat genetic - she lost a…

Must be nice...

I am sort of an essential oil skeptic, but damn! a good whiff of some clary sage essential oil immediately starts working on menstrual symptoms (cramps, gas, headache, nausea, general ick).

Weird ensemble.

"That's your head. That's your head. ...And that's my vaginal opening."

Soylent Green.

Very flapper-y. The headband, shoes, drape of the dress, all scream flapper. I can get behind the feathers for this reason.

*Sigh* Yeah.

"Wha... What the fuck is that?"

My conclusion is that Gallup has had something to do with the emergence of "homosexual lifestyle" in the national lexicon. I wish they would help it go away.

No it totally looks like Manson! I was like, that is not Jesus.

That makes sense. I was confused by the "American" label as well, but when people as me my family's ancestry (I'm from that region) I generally say something like "European mutt." I couldn't and wouldn't want to pick a single point of origin for my family - it's not an identity I have.

"American." Well, okay.

"WTF? I'm trying to sleep."

Haha! I rarely have people over, but I usually just tell people: By the way, my cat is a cat, and...

Oh my god, all paper products have to be out of reach of my one cat. I haven't been able to use tp on the dispenser since getting him, and the paper towels have to live on top of the fridge. The paper towels make him especially excited because they are long enough for him to grip with his front paws and "eviscerate"…

AMEN. My mom buys the organic Stonyfield Greek yogurt, and I'm just like, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, THIS IS HERESY.

I had chicken pox TWICE (thanks, Obama!) and developed a very mild case of shingles at 22 or 23. It was an extremely mild bout as far as shingles go, really only in one place, and the treatment was effective (once I realized it was not just a rash and not going away on its own and took myself to the doctor), but it…

The unintelligible "Gobble, gobble! Gobble, gobble!" is really just the icing on a very delicious cake.
