TortoiseShell

I'm sure it's great for tablets, and therefore will NOT be entering my PC. I've seen the Server version of it here at work and I just don't like it. It's too trendy, among other things. I don't want my OS to be fashionable, I want it to be stable and user-friendly. Windows 8 is just new crap thrown on top of Windows 7 - crap that I don't need, so I'll stick with 7.

I've tried trackball mice before and they drive me crazy! I'm so averse to change that I just can't get used to them.

I use cheap $5 ear buds from Microcenter - I usually only have to use headphones at work, so I like them to be discreet and not very noticeable. While we're allowed to listen to music and such when nothing is going on, I still prefer if the executives can't tell right away if I'm listening to something. Some day I would like to invest in a really good monophone ear bud. I'm deaf in one ear so I only need one bud; the extra one just gets in the way.

I have a lot of moments that made me incredibly happy, but I don't think I have one BEST moment. The day Kirby and I got married was a special day, but the actual wedding was small and pretty informal really. My best memory of that day was when we were in the car alone, driving to my brother's house before the wedding. We stopped and picked up breakfast from his favorite restaurant that we don't have in NY. We were both just so happy, and we were alone. My family takes away from my happiness, so I think that's why I enjoyed that moment more than the wedding. I didn't need the wedding to tell me I was in love with this man and would have him for the rest of my life. Another moment was when I had bought tickets and took Kirby to a Bon Jovi concert, who was his favorite band. The seats were terrible and high up, but we were there. During "Born To Be My Baby," Kirby was squeezing me, singing along, and crying. Being loved is the best feeling in the world. Honestly, my life is pretty fulfilling right now. Cat rescue gives me so much joy. We have an FIV+ cat whose life we literally saved several times, and every time I cuddle her, it just makes me so happy that I was able to help her AND her 6 kittens that we bottle-fed since birth.

I'll bite, I have a few things that would be nice to get off my chest, both MLP-related and not: 1. Until about college, I was a compulsive liar. A switch just kind of turned off in my head and I no longer felt the need to do it anymore. 2. I hate seeing other people get praise at my job. I still get more than anyone, but it bothers me when others do - especially when they had help. 3. I'm a fast learner and usually succeed at most things I try. It drives me crazy when I'm not good at things, like I'm not very good at gaming, both console/PC and TCGs. 4. I'm very smart and it frustrates me when people don't know it and treat me otherwise. 5. I do the opposite of hoarding - I love to throw things away. 6. MLP has caused fights in my marriage. 7. I used to be terrified of Canterlot, because I was afraid my husband would find a nice lady who supported his Brony ways and cheat on me/leave me.

For a brief period of time, I went crazy and bought tons of cat Beanie Babies. I have a whole box of them in my mom's attic somewhere. I should get those back next time I visit... Some of them were pretty rare, too. I think I paid $40 for one of them.

Norma Gene's eyes were alight with excitement. "Thank you so much for the information, sir. I've always found the Golgari clan fascinating from a biological standpoint. They--I mean, you--don't care so much about improving things for the sake of science like us Simics, but the ideas are similar, I suppose. You bring back the ponies who are worth something to this world, while we try to create ponies who are worth it. Besides, the Golgarians...you don't consider any existing life to be worth less than any others, do you?" She adds this last question very softly, looking down at the table.

Where did everyone go?

Pucca always gets her ninja.

That makes me feel better, thanks! On a related note, the first time I saw an "American" cockroach, I spent the first 10 minutes insisting my hubby and his friend were wrong. Cockroaches should NOT be that big!

Are there any insects in a home that COULD hurt a cat if eaten? I have a couple who are amazing hunters and can catch flies out of midair. And eat them. And eat anything else they find and kill.

Bad choice of words - by "let him go" I just let him keep trying to climb the wall, I didn't actually touch or move him. But yes, it's because of this thread, I'm trying not to hate all bugs so much. I totally misread your question the first time. "Why would I smoosh my kitten because of a spider?!" I killed the spider, since 1 - no idea what ones can hurt a kitten, and 2 - trust me, a swift death was much more merciful than what the kitten would have done if he discovered it! House centipedes are still kill-on-sight, they just creep me out too much.

Jack Sparrow's got this one.

Terrible people don't know they're terrible, while the good ones know better than to try advanced

"Oh, so it's true then? The Golgari can really come back to life after they die, and not just as spirits?" Norma perks up, this has always been a curious matter for her - and something she's wondered about with the Simic creations who pass on. "I am sorry for your loss though - at least in the meantime." Norma looks taken aback for a moment as Forest addresses her again. Presents? What? "Um...no...I wasn't aware that presents were involved, as I have nobody to give them to anyway."

Something funny happened this morning. I saw a spider trying to crawl up the wall in our bedroom but kept falling. Normally I would kill on sight, but I actually felt bad for him since he couldn't get a good grip so I just let him go. A few minutes later, a foster kitten was playing and running around and I saw the spider hitching a ride on his tail. Sorry dude - smooshed.

We lost a second one last night

Norma blushes deeply as she's handed the new beverage. "Yes, my name is Norma Gene. No 'Doctor,' though. I was never interested in going that way." She shudders for a brief moment as she imagines if it were her leading the experiments. "Very pleased to meet you, Forest. I'm having an excellent time in your establishment. I feel the need to apologize for some of the rough-and-tumblers that have been coming in and out."

Normal tilts her head a bit, still taken by surprise, but trying to feel happy about the promotion. "I'm sorry you lost your caregiver, that must have been hard. I will do my best in your lab, Doctor." While he is now speaking with others, she takes another glance over at the bartender. That leg of his...but this Simic claims he has already tried cytoplast. She relaxes in her chair a bit and takes another sip of her mead, losing herself in ideas.

Oh no, RD was wearing a joy buzzer!

Your asylum means nothing to us.
