Darling, darling pictures of our fur-kids in this entry on ratties . Mood: up & down

HELP! I was told over at the ratties community to switch my boys over to a lab block, because their homemade mix might be making Miles gain extra weight. He's already enormous. I'm looking for CANADIAN PLACES/SOURCES that sell Harlan Teklad or Mazuri. Or something like that that is NOT Oxbow. Bought that stuff, paid a fortune in shipping, and they'd rather starve than eat it. Can't say...

The following is a comment to aqueri , which in some ways continues my LJ discussion fo LJ as a community and/or a medium: I think I see very important roles for both hierarchical and non-hierarchical systems of thought and communication; and/but I see a lot of problems coming out of not sorting out the purpose and the medium. If someone has a certain amount of expertise and doesn't want...

1) womzilla and I are greatly enjoying a feast of downloaded episodes of The Big Bang Theory . They're only about 20 minutes long and pass so quickly, in a great way, that I almost always want one more! Witty, sometimes touching, well paced--I recommend it highly to anyone who will recognize the nerdy references, from physics to hobbits. So far, we're on episode 7 of season 1. PLEASE NO...

Quick update, am very sleepy. First off, haircut + bleach + glasses happened! Wut up. I like 'em. Only downsides are that the glasses make me wonky and dizzy as hell (fortunately they're just for distance so I only have to wear them when I want) aaand that the green from my hair previously has started seeping back into the blonde and now instead of a nice gold I'm vaguely green-tinted. :| Ew....

Aw, in ratties yesterday I missed a flame war, a flounce, and another flounce which consisted of an edited post AND an entirely new post! Just in case we missed the fact that she was indeed FLOUNCING! Well, dang. I just won't be able sleep tonight now. :P Honestly, I don't post there much anymore because the stupidity is running rampant and nobody dares to "step on toes" lately. Protecting...

fuchsiascreams   Makes a post in  ratties   about letting her rats play with her ferret.  Everyone agrees that this is a dumb idea and tells her so.  She then goes around telling people what's what and defends her decision with TL;DR comments about all the other members being bitches followed by several "You don't know me!" -esq stories about her life and why it blows.  She also posted...

If I were a grand enough character in a well-crafted tragedy, I have a good idea what my tragic flaw would be: tenacious pursuit of fact. The tragic flaw is a basic characteristic that makes the protagonist an outstanding person, and while I'm not sure how outstanding I am, this characteristic certainly is a basic part of my self and lies behind a lot of what accomplishments I do have. For instance...

We have no idea how it's happening, but a spam bot seems to be targeting, and hacking into community maintainer accounts, and taking over communities. This happened with a community I run, ratties . If you run a community, you're at risk it looks like :( I've made an abuse report. Any other steps for getting the community back? The e-mail address on the community has been changed. Hopefully...
