New Kittens!

Three new babies were dropped off last night. They’re 7 weeks old. Nigel and Nancy are siblings, Schubert was dropped off in a shoebox anonymously. They’ll stay here until they’re old enough to get adopted, and they’ve gotten used to other cats and the dog. Nigel has come out of the crate, but he’s still [...]

Funny!

Thanks to The Lippard Blog, I found passive-aggressive notes. Ah, the humanity! It’s pretty amusing to see anonymous conflict resolution. . .

Glad I’m Not In Oklahoma City.

Rex Duncan, a Representative in Oklahoma, got all pissy when he was given a copy of the Quran because it endorsed the killing of women and children. The bible he got from the Baptist General Convention, though, is something else entirely. “Mine is proudly on my desk on the Capitol and I don’t think I [...]

It Became an Abortion Debate

Over at Pharyngula, PZ Myers wrote a post linking to a Jesus and Mo cartoon. The strip took the point of view that pro-lifers were all about controlling women, and while that subject got comments, it naturally turned into a debate about abortion. I wanted to leave a comment, but I just couldn’t stop writing, [...]

Toms River Foster Cats

Alfie and Edgar spent the night at the store but it was not a good adoption weekend. Again. The new cat area is almost done, we’ll be making some cat beds tomorrow for it, and with the cats out in the store all week there should be a better response. In the meantime, one of [...]

Selfishness. . .The New Black?

I had plans for today. I really wasn’t going to turn on the computer until I got back from errands and had made my phone calls and vacuumed. Dr. Joyce Brothers’ column today put the kibosh on that. The paper is still open to the page, where a writer asks: DEAR DR. BROTHERS: No one [...]

Kitten Movie

Windows Moviemaker is a pain, but I think I’ve got it figured out. I present to you. . . AlfieTube!!

Real Estate Can Be Funny!

The Star-Ledger has a weekly insert called “Homefinder”, and it’s often good for a laugh, if only because some of the prices are so unrealistic. (It’s a sad, bitter laugh sometimes. . .) Now, one of the features at the front of the insert is a listing with photos that classifies three separate properties in [...]

Getting Organized!

My therapist and I had a very enlightening session the other day. I discovered how my disorganization was really impacting every single aspect of my life, and how my opposition to getting organized wasn’t any of the other things I’d self-diagnosed. Oh, dear. You know what, though, it brought the urgency of getting organized into [...]

Is Bill O’Reilly Paying Attention?

I was going to blog about this myself, but Crooks and Liars has all the links. I was reading this morning about pedophile William Devlin confessing to his attempt to kill Shawn Hornbeck, and Hornbeck convincing him not to by promising to do anything. The first thing that came into my head was O’Reilly’s assertion [...]
