	Cat query
	Cat door between garage and house has finally arrived and is now installed! But Mr CodyCat's been living in the garage since July - he's comfortable there. So, uh, how do you coax a skittish cat through a new cat door that has just appeared in his environment? I've already put all his food on this side of it. Do I wait for him to figure it out and hope he doesn't starve in the meantime? Do I assume if he hasn't used it by morning that he's dumb as a bag of hammers and just bring him over here, and hope he figures out how to go back through it when he needs to use his box? I went out to the garage a few minutes ago and he was chillin' on his big pillow by the dryer, utterly unconcerned with the effort Cathyn put into giving him a door to the house. Current Mood: hopeful

Chin-up bar would be nice. # 23:59 Lots of Newfoundlanders here in Edmonton. Odd to hear their distinctive accents.

My Church was formed out of Pres & Methodists here - United Church of Canada. # 00:55 I would do better at the TT lifestyle if I would give up alcohol again. # 01:03 @Lizanneh I have texted while driving. I know it is very dangerous. I do not anymore. Against the law in Ontario now. # 01:09 @Lizanneh I have mostly read things on my Blackberry (I don't have a separate phone) but I do not anymore.

	( Giant Picture Under the Cut... ) Okay, well, where to start. My death knight is currently 79... one level away from 80. For the last couple of days I've just been hanging around in Alterac Valley (as that seems to be the only battleground the alliance ever win in on Winterhoof), with exp off, trying to figure out what to do next. I know the answer would be simple to most people - rush it to 80, find a raid group and start working for gear... but that's the problem, in itself. I've never been this far in the game before, and I have NO GEAR set up for when I turn 80. I'm not all that much of a rich person... actually. I also don't really have many connections on my own server. I've been pretty much solitary since 'Helping Hands' fell through a month or so ago. :sigh: But I've been talking with a few guilds in a attempt to find someone who would take me in. Thing is, I've done little to no raiding on this character (I have a whopping record of one raid, which happened to be Molten Core when I was 70). I haven't done any of the pre-requisite quests, and it seems like my server is full up of dps death knights that happen to want to raid as well. In that respect, I'm now a frost death knight. Hm. Well, scratch that, as I was typing this, the one guild that I was talking with just broke negotiations with me. So now I'm back to point A. If anyone could give me any pointers toward end game, or even a kick in the right direction. I would be extremely thankful, because frankly, I'm losing my mind in Alterac Valley. I'm also putting my armory up for debate as well (even though I'm most likely going to wind up with a bunch of comments to why I suck...), but hey, it's all in the name of improvement right? Thanks in advance. (P.S. Although the armory says I'm still in 'The Honor Guard', it's been disbanded for a while now. How weird is that? D:) EDIT: Swapped out giant picture for smaller one that won't make your screen kerplode. EDIT2: Found a guild. I'm now part of UNDERGROUND. :D No instances yet though. Gonna high-tail it to 80 now.

	The truth about cats and ticky boxes
	So far, in the poll I posted earlier today, the ticky-box votes are fairly evenly split¹ between whether ticky box is fannish or a pepper too. I am here, ladies and gentleman, to tell you the truth about Ticky Box! ( Is ticky box fannish or a pepper? Uncut to find out. If you dare .... ) 1: Based on eachy tally having two votes on LJ and fannish having 1 and pepper having 2 on DW. We are nothing if not rigorous in our assumption making skills Tags: crack Current Mood: perfectly angelic

	I see you shiver with antici-
	So yesterday's mail bought a surprise: it turns out Anticipation had a surplus and thus, as a volunteer, I have received a small amount of refund. A refund that I was not expecting and thus I feel it needs must be earmarked for a suitable fannish cause (most likely another upcoming con I am attending this year). I post this poll not so much because I am open to suggestions (though I am) as much as polls are fun and they make DW/LJ go round. Poll #1494534 Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 11 What should I do with my Anticipation surplus?

	article: http://www.roddenberry.com/community/index/detail?id=550 Why did the turkey cross the road? In the case of this turkey, it was to get revenge on those who had turned him into a feathered beast! The only thing worse than a ticked off turkey is a ticked off turkey rogue, and this rogue did some pvp to take out his frustrations. Now, why can't druids stay in form when we are hit with something like this? Come on, Blizzard – be fair!

	rattled!
	Apparently if my computer is hit really hard with a rattle, that will restart the system. Bug and I wrapped Christmas presents today. She held the tape for me and leaned way over the edge of her chair, watching with big eyes as I cut and wrapped and crinkled my way through the presents. I wrapped her first Chrismas present today! I got all choked up looking at it. I always wanted to have children to wrap presents for. Bug is sleeping really well now, 10 or 11 hours at a stretch with no interruptions. It makes us more forgiving of the fact that she won't start this blissful stretch until midnight or 1 am. And she usually sleeps for three or four hours during the day. Go Bug! She is very like a "Tickle me Elmo" doll sometimes; if you just look at her, she laughs; if you poke her, she laughs; if you make a face, she laughs; continuous giggles and snorts and squeals. It's terribly contagious. Not too much work to do today. I was chipping at the ethics application when my computer got "rattled". I'm out of scheduling to do for the moment although I have some calls to make this weekend. Bug is napping which strikes me as an excellent idea.

	looking for opinions about an issue
	Hi all, I am looking for some opinions… my game performance just dropped through the floor about 5 days ago for no apparent reason. My system isn’t to notch, but it has never had issues playing wow before. Here are my specs Intel dual core 2.26ghz 2gb ram Ati x1550 vid card Comcast cable Windows 7 build 7100 (one year beta license, this was a RTM beta) my score in win 7 is a 4.1. My wife scores 3.6 on vista and her system is running wow faster than mine. I have run all the ram tests, and done everything except reimaging the system. I have even reloaded WoW. Just curious to know if anyone else had this issue. Thanks in advance.

	Swollen hands
	Have swollen hands again but think I know why - dehydration and salt. Yesterday I ate out for lunch and had salt and vinegar chips and didn't have enough water (I remember stealing all of foms' later in the day, in one drink). So I think I had best stay away from french fries and chips for awhile - they are my only source of added salt really (well, that and eating out). This is apparently the most common cause of swollen hands (if it's just swelling, otherwise arthritis is also common). And because I searched on the internet, the thing you should check for is a heart condition. Doctors must hate the internet.

	gah! I hurt in ways I didn't know was possible! OMG BJJ is brutal! My lower back is so twingy. I see a hot bath in my future. I actually had to wipe my face with my t-shirt, to clear the sweat out of my eyes. I don't believe I've ever done that before, ever, in my whole life. I'm so going nuts with A&S ideas this week. I asked j_v_lynch for like 40lbs of pearls for Hogswatch. Pearls before swine! ha! I am also tempted to take the children to a pottery place uh so they can make something for Hogswatch...not that I can work on a series of tiles depicting Hares hunting and cooking a pack of dogs. http://www.ldm.lt/Naujausiosparodos/valdovu/66.jpg then there is the research on working women's dresses... and the history of stick fighting...oh and cooking stuff too. My living room is so nice now. It only took..3 hours to find the floor but it is awesome. I had no idea we had so many DVDs. Why do I only watch Firefly? I asked finalcut999 for illegally burned DVDs for Hogswatch too. Tempted to send out a Happy Hogswatch email to my Barony. I wonder about the history of Christmas cards? Road trip with Lynch this weekend. We are heading to Hamilton for the large rapier practice there at Hamilton Westdale High school Sunday 12:30 lower gym. I even packed fencing stuff although my fencing hood seems to have gone missing.
