Or you can just do the aforementioned “get a dog” ploy, which will get your ass out of bed and moving one way or another. My understanding is that toddlers serve a similar function, but don’t necessarily involve leaving the house.

My apartment’s biggest selling point for me was that it was on the bank of a small river, and is literally catty-corner to a very nice park with a walking path and dog poop stations and a waterfall and a large lake. And more waterfowl (geese, swans, and herons) than you can shake a stick at. It makes early morning…

Except when your dog, like mine, is now an elderly 12 or so,* so your most energetic walk of the day is a very leisurely half mile/half hour stroll at 5:30am (because after 8pm, he just wants to nap instead of more walks).

You know, I definitely would have tuned in for that.

287 north of 80 is quite pretty and usually pretty empty (by Jersey standards), at least until you slow to a crawl for the mall traffic. And that’s NY at that point, anyway.

Lemons and limes (and the aforementioned use of name order to designate who is on top) came out of the anime fandoms, though you could certainly find the terminology in borrowed from there into other places. For the record, I, too, could never remember which was which.

How does one make a list of Twitter accounts to follow and leave off @dog_rates?

I have a dog that wants to be walked at least five times a day. You better believe I’m hatching eggs at the same time.

FYI, this sale is still going on, and today I found in my email that one of the collections I bought for $2.20 yesterday also gave me a ‘free second comic from a list of 100 titles’ promo. I used it to nab an $8 right now/$40 list price Moon Knight collection I had been looking at, for free.

This is kind of a fascinating turn of events, as I vividly remember fandom’s big migration off of Delicious, and for many, onto Pinboard, after AVOS’s 2011 relaunch broke everything fandom used it for. Ceglowski has always seemed like a class act.

I’m not a huge fan anymore of the distinctions we make between “real” and “online”. There was a time when the cutoff was sharp, but that’s been gone for years now.

While you didn’t report the mean sex partners you did report the median. Which was 3.4 for women, and 6.4 for men for opposite sex partners. These numbers ought to be the same.

Personally, I think that every season was better than most good television series’ best seasons. (Though I would say that the last season was by far the weakest.) I might not be thrilled by where they ended up with some of the mysteries, or that some of the smaller ones got dropped, but to be frank, no one was ever…

Off the top of my head, I’d say most of season 1 is skippable after the pilot. It’s very much a standard two person procedural throughout most of that season, and I find Jim Caviezel’s voice very annoying, so I dropped the show like a hot rock about three episodes in. The speculative elements that the show is prized…

Caveats: there are many states where it is illegal, and you’re held to very strict and strange health standards. The one time I was both broke and lived in a state that allowed it, I was rejected for having acne (technically acne is an infection!), whereas the Red Cross in the same town practically cried with joy…

Even if this were a universal tradition, rather than a general rule of thumb used when face to face with grieving relatives (which I think is the more accurate description), I’d argue that it’s a bad one. No one is owed respect when they can’t or couldn’t behave morally.

I just hope at least a few citizens who voted for President Trump are getting buyer’s remorse.

Privately owned prisons are notoriously badly run, frequently abusive to the prisoners, and some studies say cost the state more. They also have higher rates of violence and escapes. 

*rechecks the signs* Yep. I started out my first job out of college at more than all but three of them - in 1998.
