He also played a caveman in that one really, really weird episode where Xena told the history of the Amazons and Selma Blair was a time traveler who showed them how to ride horses. God, that show was weird.

African spurred tortoises (aka sulcatas) are not rare at all. What makes this guy special is the fact that he is so old. Most people kill them long before they reach 20 because they don’t bother to research on their care.

That makes a lot of sense. I know people with severe nut allergies who have to make sure they don’t eat foods that were processed in the same facility as nut products. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me that it might be the same for those with celiac. Thanks.

I got my degree from San Jose State. I liked it. USC now offers an online MLIS course load. The degree program is fairly new, but I’ve heard good things.

It’s a Master’s program. My undergrad was in Anthropology of all things, but seeing as you really have to have at least a PhD in that field to find steady employ, I wound up floating around doing odd jobs for a year before I landed at an academic library as a library assistant. Things kind of went on from there. As…

My librarian recognized that I had very mature tastes when I was a kid. She was always recommending books that probably were waaaaaay too advanced and/or inappropriate for most pre-teens. I loved that lady. She was one of the reasons I went to library school.

Yep. I made that mistake. Now my cat starts crying half an hour before my alarm goes off in the morning. I’ve been trying to break him of the habit, but it is slow going. Sigh....

Let this be a lesson to all employees. When your boss is being a total dick; document, document, document everything. When you finally break down and meet with HR, your really going to be glad you did.

Both of my parents were heavy heroine users during the 70s and 80s. It’s a horrible thing that destroys families. My father has never really recovered from it. It’s so disheartening to read these statistics and know without a doubt that our current administration is going to do absolutely nothing about it, if not…

Fewer people reported seeking medical treatment because the stairs leading to the front door were made of lava and there was no way in hell I was going down there.

Ok. But you do realize that “mistake” and “consequence” is going to turn into another human being that they will then be responsible for for the next 18 years right? People who “irresponsibly fuck” should be punished by having to carry an unwanted person for 9 months and then possibly experience years of hardship?…

I cut mine up and then toss them in with the dirty kitty litter when I’m cleaning the box. If somebody wants my info enough to go through that mess, then maybe they deserve it. I do that with important documents as well.

Joseph Fiennes is 46 so.... He’s almost there.

That’s not really accurate. If you keep your rabbit, rodent, or bird in a cage 99% of the time, you are not a good rabbit, rodent, or bird parent. They really do need a lot of attention and interaction to have fulfilling lives.

I have both (4 dogs, 2 cats) and I’ve got to admit, as much as I love my dogs, I just like the cats more. The dogs are just so much more work, I feel like I’ve missed opportunities for travel, evenings out with friends, overtime at work because, (guess what?) the dogs need to be let out. I feel guilty when I leave…

I’ve only had a UTI once in my life, but it was when I had no health insurance, so I couldn’t afford to go to the doctor for antibiotics. I was terrified that it would spread to my kidneys and kill me. Eventually, it resolved itself, but I was absolutely miserable for a few of weeks. I wouldn’t wish that pain on…

Everyone knows that you go to Iceland for the penis museum.
