Thanks, Buns. The weird part is he seemed fine the day he was finally diagnosed...stupid strep. Today I'm taking it easy...

My cat story: The lady across the hall from my apartment has two cats, whom she lets out for an 'evening constitutional'. And who roam the halls like haughty little princes until they please to come back in. If my door is open, they come into my kitchen and pay me a visit. She addresses them in a faux British accent to get them to come back in.I hadn't seen her in awhile and saw her today. That was cheerier? ... this probably belongs on the other thread, but the cat thing was here. :)
Feel better, RA!
Oh, I'm ok now, thanks...but I'd feel a lot better if people addressed me in faux British accents to get me to come back in:)

I am enjoying the first illness-free fall in a looong time, because I'm not around kids every day at work. They are little incubators of pestilence, and if you are in their proximity, there is no escape! You will get sick.
Mod
I'm on the third day of antibiotics, so soon I should stop feeling like death warmed over... and move on to feeling like hot hot death, fresh and yummy. Took Benadryl last night so I could sleep. Cough kept me awake most of the night anyway. Feh. But I discovered that if I sleep draped over a pile of pillows, chest down, that I cough a lot less. My boobs, however, are deeply unhappy.
Jackie, your new avatar rocks my socks baby. You are the Queen of Librarians.

That way you can get your image in just the right spot, and size.
But for some of them, there's just no hope:

Sherri I am so sorry. Cats are family and it hurts so much when you can't help them. What has downpressed me today is the awful problem I seem to have caused myself in a thread I started in the Feedback group. I didn't mean to make any trouble but I have and I can't find a way out of it. I don't seem to have a regulator in my brain that says 'this is appropriate' and 'this is not appropriate' instead my huge cow hooves go pounding all over the swampy ground. I'm going back to work. Work as a distraction.
Petra,I read Dottie's post that you quoted, and without her edit, her meaning of "US site" is ambiguous. I think she's took your comment the wrong way and is still running with it. Your original question was interesting, and I don't think you should feel bad for it. Sometimes, however - and you know this as well as I - you have to walk away from discussions, even ones you started, before they drive you crazy. Have fun at the book store!
(I have noticed, recently, that I have been, most unfortunately, placing many more clauses in my sentences, due to the influence of one author, a Mr. Henry James. This makes me immensely sad.)
I hear you, Sherri. Be there for your cat...enjoy the last time you have together. It's really important. You're a good friend to the cats.Petra...as someone who regularly puts his feet (plural) in his mouth on threads, trust me, it blows over:) I agree with Cyril...get out for a while.
Mod
:::hugs:::
And Petra, I'm sorry things got sticky over in the Feedback group. That can suck all the joy right out of GoodReads, when that happens. :::hugs Petra, too:::
Its turned into factions on that thread so I've tied my two feet together and stuck my tongue to my lip with old chewing gum. Not sayin' nuttin' to nobody. No sir.
Mod
And then the fight started....
Heeheeheehee!!!Petra, I had a look too and I thought that there would have been no issue at all if the other party hadn't decided to 'out' herself (assuming that she was the one to whom you referred!). I second what Sherri said. You sound OK to me!
Hmmm, now I have to go take a look at what some people have decided to get all huffy about, my curousity is aroused. When I'm not personally involved, I am somewhat entertained and gobsmacked by how people can take a neutral post and put their own messed up spin on it. Sherri, spend time with Ophelia, and big hugs.
Yup, just came from there. Someone has a personal problem. And that someone is not you.Well at least not there! :D

The only frozen form of water I enjoy is an ice cube floating in a tall glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. Oh, and cheesy ice sculptures.
I've always wanted to stay in the ice hotel in Sweden. http://www.icehotel.com/Winter/Stay/C...I had to laugh when it said that the temperatures drop at nightfall and when you enter the ice hotel you feel a blast of warm air - somewhere between -5 and -8C. Warm!
If by nature you mean painful little balls of ice falling from the sky, then yes, I hate it with a passion, RA. Hee...that's almost worth quoting on my profile...
Do you not like snow, either?

I managed to get a walk in, during a "sun break" between weather systems. It's very changeable out there today, and there have been rainbows. Yippee!
Oh, did I tell you it is "Walktober" here at work? Yes, we're all doing a grant-funded Wellness Program, where you earn different color leaves to put on your calendar, depending on how many minutes you walk each day. 30 minutes in a day gets you a red leaf, 45 an orange leaf, and 60 or more a gold leaf. Oooh!
It's so very elementary school, and it's working on me. :)
Snow is lovely to look at from inside the house, RA.
I would like photographic evidence of your leaves, Jackie, as proof. edit: Can you combine two thirty minute leaves for a 60 minute leaf?
Mod
I don't know why you wanted to see the leaves, RA, but here you go:

You slacked today. And how do you explain the 13th? Huh? Huh? Get it together, librarian!:)

Today is not yet over, RA! But it's true, normally I walk in the morning, and I didn't today because of the stinkin' weather. I had trouble even getting out of bed, it was so dark and rainy. Ugh.
Ah, the 13th. All Staff Day. Funny, Human Resources, who administers both All Staff Day and Walktober, didn't schedule a time for staff to do their Walktober walking that day. I commented about that very issue on my evaluation, yes, I did!
It was nasty outside that day anyway, windy and drizzly and cold. And by the time all the speeches and sessions were over, and I got to go home, I was exhausted. Excuses, excuses...
This morning was the last farmers market in my area of Wisconsin. All the vendors said "see you next year" after I bought things. What the hell am I going to do on Saturday mornings? I love the farmers market. Maybe I'll go to Whole Foods instead, but it won't be the same.

It is anything but a palace, I assure you. But hey, the fruit there is pretty darn good.
Mod
The apple orchards are doing good business this time of year, Char, but other than that the fruits/vegetables are combine from the farmers market. And now those are closed.stomps feet
Come to my corner of NZ... our Saturday morning farmers market runs year round....smirk!
Mod
It was grown here in Washington, though, so I don't know how available it is in other states.

Snow! Holy heck! I'm staying in Portland forever.
Mod
How much snow, Buns? We had a dusting yesterday...the kids said they could see it on the playground at recess.
I'm worried about the clothes on the line.

My puppy's literal taste for Regency furniture.
It's raining for the first time in months. Damn weather and its conservative bias!
