    What are you afraid of?

    I've got Asperger's syndrome and part of it is a strong aversion to some textures, though I wouldn't say I'm afraid of them. There are some types of paper I can't stand, and the texture of some microfibers makes me feel sick. And I just hate the feeling of soap on dry skin. As far as real fears...

    *sigh* getting your SO to understand cats

    My half-Siamese never bothered with the fridge, but he figured out how to get into all of our cabinets. He started with the lower ones, so I put double-sided tape on them. Then he started jumping up to the fridge, and on top of the upper cabinets, and tapping them open from above and either...

    Did anyone get married young?

    My wife and I met when we were freshmen in high school, started dating about six weeks after graduation, and got married two years later, when we were 20. We've been married for 16 months now. It gets rough sometimes, but we make it work

    ANTM Cycle 11!

    My wife and I used to watch Top Model, but I feel the same as you--it seemed like the last couple of rounds, she'd already picked the winner by the third episode, and decided it was alright to treat everyone else like trash. Not to mention, she's become embarrassingly weird and more...

    Kitty Names?

    It's recessive and the gene appears only on the X-chromosome, so a calico male is chimeric (fusion of two embryos) or has three chromosomes (XXY) like a human with Klinefelter's syndrome.

    how bad is rice?

    I have done a few searches, but I figured it couldn't hurt to come right out and ask whether the ill effects of rice were negligible in low-carb canned food, rather than make inferences from semi-related threads. Thank you for your responses.

    how bad is rice?

    I'm trying to find some decent canned foods. I would prefer to keep my cats grain-free, and it seems a lot of canned foods are grain-free except for rice.

    25lb cat!!! Check him out!

    That's a beautiful cat. But he doesn't need a litter box, he needs one of those Sterilite under-bed boxes:

    Mmm! Beer!

    I've never had Coors, so I can't comment. I'm only 21, so there's a world of beers out there for me to try But currently at the top of my list are Blue Moon (made by Coors I believe) and Abita Purple Haze. Yuengling black and tans are good too.

    Jurassic Park is on!

    I love this movie. I was six when it came out, and I still remember when I went to go see it at the theater. Truly a defining moment of my childhood. Plus, best movie ever

    Do you and your SO have a special song?

    Ours is "Wound" by the Smashing Pumpkins. I'm not sure why; I think I just may have told her it's a really cool song she should listen to, and then I played it on the guitar for her. Anyway, she had a few lines from it printed on our wedding programs: If you wait I will wait, taste I will taste...

    Three years ago in New Orleans

    ...I moved into my dorm to start my freshman year at Tulane University in New Orleans. And three years ago today, the school was evacuated and the semester postponed pending the outcome of Hurricane Katrina. I was fortunate not to lose my home, but that hurricane has had some pretty...

    Who lives in the South?

    Sweet tea....blech! Fay sent us a few tornadoes this afternoon. We had to hide in the bathrooms at work for a little while. And one touched down in Clemson where my brother's at school, so he had to hide too. But as far as I know, everyone's okay.
