  1. Ever wonder if she timed the, "screw it, we're moving to Spokane RIGHT NOW!" deal specifically to try and make it more difficult to handle the New Orleans transition?
  2. Not to mention the fact that there's a very real possibility she'd refuse to give him back. I wouldn't put it past her. Really, kenneling is the best option. I know you don't like it, but he's young, and I think he'll adapt better than you think. Most good ones have several times a day where they get out different groups of dogs for playtime with each other.
  3. Of course they don't. I'm beginning to suspect that your brain weasels are robots. Because they were clearly programmed and put there by your mother.
  4. This is actually very fitting for you with how you pop over to my cube all the time.
  5. OH MY GODS. A group of bunnies is properly known as a "fluffle" and I am going to die of the adorableness.

      With this information, I will be the most popular person at work tomorrow!

      This is the most amazing thing I've heard since learning that a group of vultures is called a committee.

  6. I...am honestly not sure that Slowswift would like Deadpool. It's a bit rough for those with gentle sensibilities.
  7. They don't necessarily have to be funny. They can be thought-provoking, or just something you'd like to share.
  8. I think it's extraordinarily problematic that such a wide range of function is classified under the same thing. That's the problem with the spectrum - it's just too broad. For the folks on the low-functioning end of the scale - yeah, there needs to be further research to figure out how to help them connect and communicate. But all of the high-functioning people I know view a cure as something that would wipe out a basic function of their personality. It's a touchy subject, but I think in this particular case, Steris qualifies as being on the high-functioning end of the spectrum.
  9. With respect, the DSM has classified a lot of things as mental illnesses in the past that were later revised out. I happen to find this particular classification just as wrong and offensive as previous versions' classification of homosexuality as the same. Ask any autistic person on the forums whether they think there's something wrong with them, if they need to be "cured". The answer will be no. It's part and parcel of who they are.
  10. OK, I've been staying out of this for obvious reasons. Y'all know I adore Wayne, I don't need to recap that here. But the bolded statement about Steris I *do* take exception to. She's almost certainly high-functioning autistic. This is not - I repeat, not - an illness. She's doesn't need "fixing," her brain is just flat-out wired differently. I'm sorry, but we have a lot of autistic kids on the forums. (And I have close family members who are on the spectrum.) A lot of them identify strongly with Steris, and the implication that there's something wrong with them that needs curing could be taken as hurtful.
  11. OK, that makes more sense. Yes, key signatures apply to the entire piece, unless it changes. Or accidentals happen.
  12. Dang; it used to be. It might be available at your local library? I dunno.
  13. Yes. Yes, it is. You must do this forthwith.
  14. I'd say yes, but then I remember that you're Australian. For you, that's perfectly normal. Paaaaaaancakes! ("Moo. Have a paaaancake!" Have you seen Wonderfalls? If not, you should.)
  15. You will be fine! Remember: inhale pink, exhale blue.
  16. I have to follow up on things at work all the time. People get busy. Important things do sometimes get pushed back because other things come up. Especially when you're a librarian having to deal with idiots who come in every day asking for a specific book and the only thing they can remember about it is that it was blue.
  17. I wear many hats. Which is quite fitting, actually. With great power comes great responsibility. I am responsible and dependable and reliable and all sorts of other words that end in ibble.
  18. But it wasn't Stick. It was his eeeevil alter-ego, NecromancyStick.
  19. There were terrifying things hiding under that leaf.
  20. I can change my forum title, but apparently I'm destined to be the Mom forever.
  21. Not that I know of. I've certainly never had any trouble; I think they mostly use it for confirmation that you're a human. Google hates spammers.
  22. It's like I don't even know you anymore.
  23. I've got a harder estimate of 34 as of Shadows of Self. There are clues in the Prologue. Shadows of Self spoilers:
  24. Early to mid 30s, I'd say from the context clues in the books.
