Nothing on mine that I'm troubled by since it accurately reflects how I use Amazon.

There's an owl in the neighborhood. Can Merlin pick it up? No. Too distant. Do I have Merlin on when it's closer? No.

Lost. Seasons 1 through 6: "We promise, all this mythology matters and they aren't dead." Season 7: "What mythology? Also, they're dead."

It is sad. The need for friends is real, but a lot of people have never learned how to be or make friends.

I once had 1 tech drawing blood with difficulty and woke up to three hovering over me. I now have them lay me down just in case.

Relocating the window well residents to the greater outdoors so they can find proper dens before it gets too cold.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

Our cat, Oreo, who let us serve her for 20+ years, passed in the night. She came to us at 12 weeks and for the next 20 years rose and fell in the ranks of the various cats that shared our home. Sometimes she was the boss, sometimes... not. 1/2

Her name is Oreo and she has just turned 20 years old in this picture.

The number of people just hearing about a song should put the lie to its claim of ubiquity. The song being *everywhere* for some people may just be an indication of how narrowly they've drawn their "everywhere".

I first saw this ad during an SNL broadcast and thought it was a joke. Nope. Real product. At one time I had 2 of them.
