    Is anyone else having problems with images loading?

    For the past few days, I have not been able to see any pictures, beyond avatars and the occasional sig. The images start to upload but take forever. I wouldn't be surprised if they had changed some settings here at work but wanted to see if anyone else was affected.

    Mats around urethra

    Gypsy, to put it bluntly, is an overweight long-haired cat (she's been on a diet since I adopted her). She sometimes has problems cleaning herself properly after using the litterbox. I give her a good brushing nightly, but tonight for the first time I noticed some matting around her urethra...

    Gypsy has excellent taste in movies

    This weekend, I started my annual re-watch of the Lord of the Rings movies (yeah, I'm a dork ). During one particularly action-filled sequence, it caught Gypsy's attention. She ended up watching the movie with me for about 15 minutes. Now, I've learned the secret-no more cat sitter videos...

    I feel like a horrible meowmy

    Quick background-my front door leads into a small entryway containing a coat closet and separated from the living room by a glass-paned door. The mail chute dumps into the coat closet. This afternoon, when picking up my mail Gypsy decided to explore the entryway. I wasn't paying much...

    I've found out what Gypsy is afraid of...

    My clothes! Seriously! Today I am wearing an ankle-length khaki skirt. Because of the fabric it's a little loud when I walk. At one point this morning Gypsy followed me up to my bedroom. When I turned around she startled, puffed up and ran down the stairs full tilt. When I came back...
