Folx. Sorry. I hate being not-corrected by my tech.

I think you're very kind to Texas, C.A., even if the state of the fold in blue doesn't deserve it. Here's to kindness!

5 lousy years for a kiddie stalker? By the time he gets out he’ll have developed his fixation to the point of murder.

You know some awfully milquetoast cats. Bland, personalityless . . . Today the two newest cats in our house ganged up on the meanest female of the set and ran her out of “their” room. Then they and the next older cat decided to play a two-story-and-staircase game of tag. I’ve had cats who fetch peanuts in the shell,…

An idea. Mom mentions they adopted four African-American kids just before she started doing this. Is it possible she feels discarded and is angling for more attention/love? In a very astonishing way?

::shrug:: It happens.

I disagree with the group thing. If you look at more groups than the two this writer suggested (Algonquin Round Table), what you’ll see is one or two stars and a number of lesser lights struggling to keep up.

You know the wrong children’s book writers, then.

I think it's a European squirrel. They have the tufty ears.

WOW. It's a good thing I never aspired to fashion, because Madame Obama would send me fleeing to a cave, never to emerge.

I heard a teeny tiny buzzing noise. What that the sound of the pre-smack don'tgiveafuck insect?

This wasn't about what's been going on over police brutality, or he wouldn't have selected officers of color. He wouldn't have shot his girlfriend. Killers with a message want to present the message, they don't commit suicide (unless their message is a lot bigger). He's a murderer who wanted to be noticed. Whether…

They've made the page unavailable. SOP.

I belong to science fiction/fantasy fandom, and except for having to re-allocate some money for expenses like diapers and houses once we reach certain points in our careers, and perhaps dropping out for a while till the kids are a little older, most of us don't leave fandom. Most of us don't even consider leaving…

so we celebrate (mostly) women taking shots at other women as something to emulate? Because they are rich/famous/look like a celebrity/are too plump/are too skinny/are just there? Because this gets us and them ahead in the world how?

I never got the Old Navy appeal. One, everyone wears it, and 2) their clothes are even more insipid than Banana Republic.

These nice people haven't been around the little darlings that were dumped on my porch over the last ten days.

it's not a movie, but Bobby Cannevale in "Boardwalk Empire". You know the scene. He's coming down the hall with a collar around his neck .... There's something about that man I purely admire.

my best friend, the looker, and I were walking past a line getting on a Philadelphia bus and there was a guy. He swung in right behind my friend, who was talking to someone else. She looked back, told him to beat it, and went back to talking to our other friend. She didn't see what I did: he inched closer, muttering…

Mike Tyson. Jimmy Page. Errol Flynn. R. Kelly.
