MeTa post: Account Closing Protocol
It sounds like drama in a can.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

MeTa post: Can we get a policy regarding the ads on Metafilter?
Can we make MetaTalk members only? And require dinner jackets?

Only if we make Members Only jackets required instead of dinner jackets.

I enjoyed my crimes. How is everyone else doing?

You're back less than 24 hours later? You're doing it wrong.

Does local mean the same thing as sharing the same continent? Because last time I checked, Canada isn't in the U.S. *checks again* Yep, still separate.

quin - any functioning pancreases hiding out in your closet? I have a couple pinkie toes for trade. I've found they're quite useless and can be painful ..uh.. cute and ..uh.. take up less room.

Ask post: Stag and Doe
I've lived in CA, TX and WA and knew of stag/bachelor parties and bachelorette parties (always held separately). I currently live in BC, Canada (eight years) and have never heard of the parties the poster mentioned.

The only "tradition" I can think of that's even remotely similar is the "pay for a dance" with the bride or groom at the wedding reception.

I think both "traditions" are tacky.

Ask post: Men, what would set your hearts aflutter?
Quite a while back I bought the mister a beautiful hand-made wooden box to put special stuff in (watch, cuff links, pocket knife, etc.). I found it at The Wood Merchant in La Conner, WA.

Ask post: There is nothing in the chemistry of a toenail that predicts the existence of a human being.
Go for the resection. I had one done about 15 years ago and haven't had a problem with that toe since then. Recovery was fairly quick - a week or so. Growing out the nail took a long time (several months, hard to remember the specific time frame), but it didn't interfere with anything.

You, who has been at the job less time and do a poor job, won't be laid off because you have a family (a wife) to support. It doesn't matter that the single mom whose been there longer and does an awesome job has two kids to support.

Ask post: Should I get cats considering my/their living conditions?
Kitties come in pairs. You'll have a much more well adjusted kitty when s/he has a companion. Siblings are fine but so is a pair of kittens/cats that have become used to each other yet aren't related.

I had two kitties in less square footage than your flat (RV/caravan) and they did fine. You can probably get away with one litter box but if you clean it DAILY.

Once my cats hit about a year old, I have no problem leaving them alone for a long... [more]

I know! They need to zoom back in.

For a few seconds they were both looking straight down. Right now, right baby has hunkered down and left baby did a good wing stretch. I can't really see the nest, it looks like they're hanging out on a branch.

Heartbreaking.

A long time friend of my husband retired after many years of being a mechanic. He had a stroke about two months into retirement. He lived another two years and died last year. So fucking unfair.

As noted above, it's not necessary. And talk to your boyfriend about it. He may be having the same qualms.

Durn Bronzefist - do you play WoW (with a name like that, I probably don't have to ask)? When I'm in a marathon of WoW playing I have pretty intense dreams involving elves, dwarves, etc. It's awesome.

WTF Firefox?! Dwarves is a word!
