re SNS; apparently Harron is off for about 6 weeks and will be back (yeah, right). Maya dm’d the Jez managing editor and found out.

I’ve also heard “Thunder Bay Dinner Jacket”

It’s like being a parent; part of the job is to get them ready to leave the nest, and also to get them to want to leave the nest, as painful as it is for you as a parent.

Awww Dennis. Maybe this is what he needs as his next step; to learn about living in a real home. There is a solution if you really miss him, because this is just a foster home ... hint, hint. (I know, I know, you have enough cats already)

*cough*Kenora dinner jacket*cough*

hugs if you want them.

When I first go Kia, we went to the cottage and I sat on the porch with a book in one hand and just held out my other hand for the ball, which she’d put in my hand, and then I’d toss it down the steps and down the hill and she’d run down to fetch it and we’d do it again. For hours.

Every year I promise myself that I’ll do some lino print Christmas cards, and never quite get to it.

FIP is a bitch of a disease.

I haven’t seen Cats, but it sounds like it’s bad on the same scale as Dune (Lynch version; the Villeneuve version literally remains to be seen and judged) and Tommy, the two worst movies I have seen in my life. There’s mediocre bad and then there is epically bad; so bad that the movie becomes iconic.

Those are the other mainpages. G/O Media shut down the sub-blogs/commenter blogs almost a year ago; GroupThink, Observation Deck, HackerSpace, OppositeLock and others. Once those shut down, a lot of old time, regular commenters just left the mainpage blogs, but I think the death blow is going to turn out to be…

The cookies are gorgeous! You’ve arranged them so beautifully.

In the Olden Days, SNS would have up to a 1,000 comments by Sunday morning.

BalkTalk was rehomed as well. I think it’s pretty amazing that the communities are viable entities that have survived all these years and have managed to make the jump, as a group, to other platforms.

Celia! How are you?

Our conservatives are considerably left of their liberals, I find.

Reward the good, and don’t punish the bad. It works. I’ve had two dogs with serious behavioural issues; one was an abused rescue who was a fear biter, and the second (an 80 lb. Lab cross) had aggression issues. Positive, reward based training worked for both. They were never 100%, but they were happy, and better…

Yeah; my friend A likes her local Liberal candidate, who is hardworking and on the same page as she is on the issues, but she can’t stand Justin. A vote for her Liberal candidate is a vote for Justin. Still better than Erin The’Tool.

Wut about wut? (kinja being kinja, I can’t tell what comment of mine that you’re replying to)
