/m287 Thanks for the link, Karin. I enjoyed that one.

BTW, I saw "Marley and Me" recently which made me think of your loss of Mollie. I hope you're beginning to feel a little better by now.

Karin, I had to recently put down Boots and Moe about a month apart and when I came across this article about the dignity of old dogs I thought I'd share with you, knowing that you also experienced a loss:

/m288 Sam, thank you so much for thinking of me. I'm at the point now where I only cry about my Mollie 2-3 times a week, instead of (at least) 2-3 times a day, so I am making progress. I hope you and your family (human and pets) are well.

/m289 Francine, I am so very sorry to hear of your heartbreaking double loss. I know how much you loved your boys and can only imagine how difficult a blow that's been for you, especially since I've been so grateful I still have my Rainer with me. I hope your loving memories of Moe and Boots can give you comfort. I appreciate your sharing the link to that story. It was such a touching and heartfelt expression that reminds us all of us dog lovers why we feel the way we do. I know that you might not be ready yet, but how do you and Rick feel about getting another canine companion?

/m290 Their passing has left a hole in our lives and now and then something reminds me of them and I get a sinking feeling. Time will heal though I'll always miss them. I know what you're going through with the passing of Mollie but she and the other furry angels did brighten our lives for a span. I don't think we'll get another pet because Rick will be retiring next year and we hope to travel. Sending good wishes your way, my cyber-friend :-)

hello, I want one of those water-powered homes; I'm sick of paying for gas and electricity. However, chorines, even the bleached blondes, probably would process wedding invites very nicely.

Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do!

/m291 Sorry to hear about Boots and Moe, Francine. Didn't we do a little whack dialog years ago in Moe's honor? (I've still got it somewhere, I think.)

/m292 Gesundheit!

/m293 Look, hello, the last thing I need is another wedding invitation. Cake, cake, cake! I'm sick to death of it - 'ya hear? The very next wedding that I get invited to I'm gonna eat the little plastic bride and groom, not the cake. Don't _make_ me do it...

/m294 Good to hear from you again, Will! I agree about paying for gas and electricity. So I've got a plan. I'm gonna plug one end of my extension cord into the other to get free electricity. OK, I'll confess that I haven't figured out yet where to plug in the leaf blower, but I'm certain it's a tractable problem; I've applied for a grant from DARPA.

I've just moved the ZP to a new web host. If I'm wildly successful, you won't notice any difference. But if you do notice any changes, please tell me.

fuck the police

/m297 I tried that but I got arrested anyway. How's a girl supposed to make a living?...

Sorry Joe. Gordon isn't looking all that hot these days, but I still might be persuaded.

So glad they are already apprehended by the authorities!

Hey everyone, just a heads up that unthunk is up and running again (definition link checking has been disabled, so just about anything will whack now), have fun!

BTW, does anyone know where I could find a wig?
