Jo, what an adorable picture of Max!
I always knew he was a cutie!

Speaking of not sleeping--that may be the cause of my
double-posting and other weirdnesses. I am just up again,
after what seems to have become my customary amount: five and a half hours or so. There's just too much neat stuff
going on, in the real and the virtual world, for me to want to waste time sleeping, when I can be exploring and enjoying! Sleep-deprived? Yes. Joyous? ALL THE TIME!

in light of the recent events, I have to wonder why I didn't receive an award for latest entry by an old curmudgeon, or the Outside and Beyond the Pail [sic] award.

Outside and Beyond the Pail

In my Godmother's nettie, which was a little way down the garden path, was a notice designed to deal with this problem

We aim to please: you aim too, please

Perhaps this should be in the "Directions" thread?

apropos of nothing, I am reminded of a wonderfully descriptive word: vomitory.

vomitory

Yes, it does conjure up the sound of people being disgorged in streams, doesn't it!

BTW in this weird wired & wonderful planet, there are not only a set of people who collect barf bags, but there are others who spend hours programming pictures of frogs dancing on the website of these sickos...

Vomit in one thread, farting in another, prostitution in another. Where will it all end?

Actually you did get that award but we're FedExing you the prize - look out for cross Atlantic bucket deliveries!

barf bags

Did you know that J K Rowling invented the names for the houses at Hogwarts on an aeroplane and wrote them on the back of a sick bag. A friends daughter was horrified when told that she'd taken it home until it was pointed out that it wasn't a "used" sick back.
