I’ve been doing publication order because I am yes, that kind of purist, but happily so!

I just recently started reading the Discworld books and holy shit! How did I not discover these sooner?

When I was pregnant in 1999 Jessie’s song in Toy Story 2 made me sob so hard I avoided all even mildly sad media for the rest of my pregnancy.

It’s logical.

That was my first thought too!

Amen to the scam part. Homeownership has just taught me to be afraid of water, in any quantity, where it is not supposed to be. Fingers crossed for a low plumbing bill for you and some respite otherwise.

I read this to my seriously not-online husband; he cackled and said, “Man, that guy’s done!”

I’ve had this cat for two years, lol, and she’s been a pampered baby since birth. She picks her moments to bestow love (or get right up in your grill for attention) and you accept what you’re given.

It took me a whole year of feeding one stray to convince her inside was better than outside. She enjoyed the indoor life for a decade after that. Good luck with yours.

Second shot kicked my ass. Still worth it, though.

Sepulveda/Ventura is a good spot too, though. I think more visibility in the valley is a good thing all around!
