When my youngest daughter was seven, she trick-or-treated in a Darth Vader costume. She was smaller than most 5-year-olds, so we got a lot of comments on how cute "he" was. Then I called her by her name once and the whole crowd around us gasped, "It's a girl!" But I think that made it even better for them.
Neatorama was never totally dumb, useless, or incomprehensible, so we can't blame those things.
When Alex "started up" Neatorama in 2005, everyone and his brother were starting a blog -millions, in fact. To have just survived this long is downright amazing. Remind me someday to write a chronology.
At first I thought, "I should try this! The doorbell wakes me from a nap way too often!" Then I realized that the most likely doorbell ringers are the grandkids, and they can't read yet. They also like to push the button over and over until someone opens the door.
just because some folks don't know - it can be dangerous to put rabbits on their backs "Purposely inducing tonic immobility by laying a rabbit on his back can cause him serious stress. While he may appear relaxed during the trance-like state, afterward his heart and respiration rate is likely to be very high. A study led by Dr. Anne McBride of the University of Southampton found that rabbits show signs of extreme stress after an episode of tonic immobility. Another danger of placing a rabbit on his back is that he could break his back if he struggles against being turned over." http://animals.pawnation.com/laying-rabbit-...
As a Canadian I have seen the mace parade on TV. Until yesterday I never knew what an important job the Sergeant-at-Arms does. Now that I do I take even more pride in my country and its traditions.
Mr. Vickers is a true hero and all Canadians owe this man a debt of gratitude.
That's my little man! He will be available for adoption next week at the MSPCA in Jamaica Plain. Please note, I do not have kitty visors, just a sewing machine, photoshop and an adventurous foster kitten. :) For Halloween this year he wanted to be Geordi LaFurr.
When women say they are sorry, they can mean any number of things, like 1. I feel sorry for you. 2. Could you repeat that? I didn't hear you. 3. Could you repeat that? I can't believe you said that. 4. I'm about to tell you something you don't want to hear. and, occasionally 5. I apologize.
I like Bloody Marys, lemon drop shots, Bellinis, mimosas, sweet wines like Moscatos and beers like Samuel Adams cherry wheat. Girly, fruity stuff, basically. (Oops, should have hit "reply.")
$40? And yet when the blood bank is low, they can't do any better than begging, nagging, and guilting people into coming in?
I don't consider it a charitable donation when some doctor is going make a tidy profit charging thousands of dollars to someone for the pint of blood I gave them for free.
