This. My cat is 13. She has been in my family since I was in highschool. Fortunately she is of zero pedigree and is as hearty as she is ugly / neurotic. She has this weird ongoing skin ailment that has cropped up over the last year, though. Took her to the vet and dropped over $150 just to make sure it was not kitty cancer. I've never been more happy to pay so much for no reason.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Ticked: Lost a twenty-spot between home and wal-mart.

Smile: Finished up the vanity I started earlier this week.

With the humidity it took a little longer than I wanted between coats of poly, but was worth the extra 2 days for the more durable finish, particularly w/constant exposure to water. We have woodsy home in the country and wanted it to look new, but rustic. Not my best work, but we're def. happy with it and about 25% the cost of store bought faux wood.

It wasn't a twenty-spot it was twenty singles. BAM!

Naw, I think we can forego those, if we're all agreed? Particularly the Futurama ones.
