Apropos of nothing, I am currently working on something (shut up I am too working) in which there's a company whose name starts with Aqua. The odds that I type Aqua Buddha and/or Aqua Velva instead of the actual name of the company are roughly 1:1.

Oh and car update: stupid car is doing the same stupid thing. I am, hmm, let us say displeased about this. I will say, however, that the dealership is bending over backwards for me. The car's going back in for at least a few days and not only did I get a loaner, the dealership brought the car to me. The only downside to this is that means mommy won't be taking me to work which means mommy won't be packing me lunches.

Photo no. 23.....the bathtime photo....

That Kitteh-mom obviously has not heard about the "the best way to give a cat a bath".

1) Get a window screen, prop it up against the wall beside the tub.

2) Fill the bottom of the tub with about 4 inches of warm water.

3) Put kitteh in tub.

4) When kitteh climbs the screen.....grab kitteh at the base of it's tail.

5) Proceed with shampooing the kitteh, while holding it securely at the base of it's tail.

6) Rinse well.

55 I am unamused with the tone of this article. It's a tax and a mandate. It's a floor wax and a dessert topping. My black billowing robe is awesome and you are my subjects. http://cnnmon.ie/OJB33i NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- In the wake of the Supreme Court's health care decision, several companies with 50 or more full-time workers have embarked on a quest. Their aim: Get below 50 and dodge the employer mandate... ...The other way business owners are planning to deal with the law is a devastating one. They plan to cut staff and switch full-time employees to part-time, which the law classifies as less than 30 hours per week.

Any free He in the atmosphere escapes. Radioactive decay produces alpha particles that turn into helium, that can get trapped in pockets below ground like natural gas.
