I spend my paycheck on cat beds and manga.

Your comment reminded me of this. For years, my parents used the birth certificate they received from the hospital as my form of identification. Then 9/11 happened and they were finally told they weren’t using my real certificate. They had to send in the mail to receive the real one.

Word!

How painful that you couldn’t be there at the end. But your writing is wonderful. Give yourself some downtime; it takes the pain a long time to lose its sharp edge, but it really never goes away.

This made me ugly cry.

Tomorrow AM I am putting my 19 year old cat to sleep. He’s been sick for almost a year, and lately he has gotten so much worse. I’ve been looking for any excuse to not go though with it, but his pain is getting harder for him to hide and it’s time. I’ve had him all of my adult life and he has…

So, which one is from Earth-1 and which one is from Earth-2?

Yes, so did I. And now the ol’ fertility ship has sailed I don’t have any kids at all, which makes me sad sometimes. You see, my husband and I are currently looking after our elderly parents (the 3 that are still alive, anyway). They are basically ok, just frail (need help with taxes, paying bills, grocery shopping,…

Have you tried Wellness Grain-Free Canned? My orange boy endorses it heartily!

This big ol’ lug had two very normal-sized Seal Point Siamese parents. He’s 25 lbs, just turned 12, and we have no idea how he got this big. He turns his nose up at people food, so now that his 21yo Chocolate Point brother died we can talk some serious diet plans. His 17yo non-litter brother (Blue Point) is svelte AF.

My current cats are essentially free fed (we put food in their bowls twice a day when we feed the dogs but they never actually empty their dish. They graze throughout the day - but if they can see the bottom of their damn dishes, they knock the bowls over (metal bowls + basement floor = distinctive sound) as if they…

die.

It’s interesting you feel that way (genuinely, no snark), because I’ve always thought this was a weird issue because I really don’t give a damn. So long as we can get stalls with walls/doors that actually go down to the floor (like in the UK), I’m a happy camper. I don’t care about washing my hands next to a guy. I do…

I absolutely am. It is funny because I’m a bit of a tree hugger and so for years I’ve been occasionally fussing at him to get paperless delivery of his statements. I have to say I’m ever so grateful that he is lazy AF about that stuff and it just never happened. He was out of town the weekend I found out about the…

If I was famous, I would actually do this.

At this point even if its not aliens its going to be unprecedented and amazing when we do find out. It could drastically change the way we understand the universe without aliens having anything to do with it.

Yeah they did kind of go rogue this year, with Mozart in the Jungle and Wolf Hall and whatnot. I like the Globes for the way they honor comedies, and I found it disappointing that they let the Martian game that. Happy that they went rogue for Mr. Robot though, because that show is great. Regarding DiCaprio, though:

Currently catching up on s4 of Person of Interest and oh god, how good is this show????? Please have s5 as soon as possible - even if I have a feeling it’s gonna be the last season :’(

Look at you, Uncle Pennybags

TED CRUZ IS ONLY 44??? Is that in Canadian years???
