    We don’t hose our streets down every night either, it just works better for movies because any stains or dogpiss puddles get evened out and reflecting lights bring out the perspective, and are pretty.

    Chances are, you’ve seen lots of HVAC vents without ribbons in Hollywood movies without noticing them, because whether they were blowing wasn’t important to the scene.


  • “belly up on my lap” I’d be eviscerated trying to achieve this step with the cat I have now. All our previous cats were, well, pussycats about nail clipping compared to her. I finally had to resort to a dose of gabapentin, which barely slows her down but enables me to get one claw at a time over about 3 hours, with a toothy treat after every claw, and plenty of freedom and “da bee” playtime in between to tire her out.










  • You made points others didn’t, and your edit demonstrates another aspect of the alone/crowd response to a prompt.

    Laughing with a “crowd” supports you until you realize you were alone all the time, whereas thinking you’re the only commenter frees you to share your insights, but finding you were part of a crowd made you embarrassed about it. Don’t be. We all know being first allows comments to get more points, but more slowly typed comments also add value to the conversation.
