Oh no! That would be terrible. Your cookie vibes worked. I have perfect snickerdoodles after all.

I'm taking most of them to my work tomorrow for a potluck. But I'm eating some myself right now.
Sounds good 
I always enjoy seeing other people enjoying my food more than I like eating it myself :lol3:

Good morning
It's 10.30 am here. I've just finished the housework and now I'm getting caffeined up, ready to go hiking with some friends.
@Losna So you study Japanese as well? 漢字とひらがなも読みますか。日本語は本当に難しいですね。十五年間も勉強していたのになかなか上手になりません。
@GrizzlySapien You're right about the fence. Button Moon is a real escape artist, I swear he must be part spider monkey. He's the only one of our cats who can climb the fence. I think he does it just to prove his point. Speaking of learning languages, I teach English as a second language and some parents want their children to take lessons at ridiculously early ages. Six or seven is the usual age, but I have had students as young as 2.
@juliek1975 Little Peanut is so sweet!
@NewYork1303 Congratulations on being the biggest blabber mouth.

Why thank you. I'm here to defend my title. Hahahaha. Not really. Right now my cat is being the biggest blabber mouth in my house. I don't know what he wants. I've tried everything.@NewYork1303 Congratulations on being the biggest blabber mouth.
Good morning

It's very early morning here
Mum used to teach English to Japanese kids. I think her youngest was 2 or 3 too.

I can never figure out what Chula wants either. She spends a lot of time sitting on her haunches, waving her paws in the air and gazing beseechingly at me.

Maybe she's saying 'Mom, Mom. Look at me Mom. I'm so clever. Are you watching Mom? Mo-om! You're not watching and you said you would...'

He has food. I picked him up and petted him and he didn't want that. I think he's upset since the kitten is napping and won't play with him.
It could be that. My youngest cat, Toby, comes and yells at me if Hiro and Albert, his best buddies, are asleep and don't want to play.
@Columbine It's crazy, isn't it? I'm not good with kids. I prefer teaching salary men, at least they don't try to eat the crayons.

- Well, he'll just have cultivate the art of patience 
Problem is - I think of cats, I think of patience, and I can't get the two of them to meet anywhere

- :lol3: I know men have all sorts of good points, but I'd never have thought that not eating crayons counted Mum loved teaching kids. The youngest one came about because she taught his big sister (5 or 6), and he kept wanting to join in. The funniest thing with his sister was that, after a while, she spoke English with a Japanese accent and Japanese with an English accent! :confuse3: Very bizarre.
I'm not keen on kids either, though I have taught a few, and worked as a primary school classroom assistant for a while (when at college).

Cats have no patience. He constantly is loud and meowing cause he wants something. Its annoying and hilarious.
You might be right! A couple of times today she's obviously gotten miffed at the time I've spent babbling and has jumped up and on my chair and patted my head. So sweet!

@Columbine @MServant THe vet commented on it after his dental surgery. They were amused and bewildered by his happy hiss/purr combination as they played with him.
@Norachan I did... a very long time ago. My greek and spanish are still somewhat passable in written form, and I can piece together crude portuguese and latin, but not so much my japanese. All that I've retained of my japanese are some of the simpler statements that have stuck around because I watch anime (daijobu, chotto matte kudesai, sumimasen, kawaii, yurusenai, etc) and the memory of struggling with the kanji. So I have no idea what you just said. Oh - I can still count to 999. I've never been able to remember 1000.

I just read a truly disturbing article about how harry potter could be about a boy in a mental hospital. That is truly worrying.

I've said it once, I'll say it again - video clip, video clip, video clip!

I'd be very surprised if that were true, unless the article is an interview with JK Rowling. People love to read far more in to books than is really there sometimes.

I can see it. But I'm not sure I'd worry about it. I mean it is a truly wonderful world he lives in. Reality is overrated - isn't that the old saying. Although the part about actually being in a hospital is a bit troublesome.
Ahh... I thought that was going to be her main activity. she should still understand your position thought :/
I won't! I musn't! :"/No, don't crymagiksgirl . Focus on how good his life is now, not how bad it was before.
It's 1.30am here. I'm sat in bed on my phone, trying to stay awake. So far it's working, but my brain has slowed right down.
What time is it for everyone else?
Just arrived home. It's currently 7pm
As an English major I appreciate the alternative reading of the book. But it is disturbing to me as well. Here's a link to it

To me its like the idea that in Ferris Buelers day off Cameron just dreams up the whole day and Ferris doesn't exist and is just an embodiment of who Cameron wishes he could be.
