I think I gotta go get some but that means getting dressed and stuff when I'm not awake yet ? It's DH's birthday, but he isn't a birthday person, so we don't really have anything super special planned. I think we'll have some people over to play board games this weekend. DS has Magic group then Ultimate Frisbee, DD has her first tennis lesson. I have 2 classes to teach at the exact same time as these activities, so it's going to be hubby who gets them there. I feel a bit bad asking him to do things on his birthday. I'm also working on a translation that I agreed to and then promptly forgot about, so now I'm under a bit of a time crunch. Oops! Happy Nirthday to your DH!!! As an aside: my phone now recognizes Nirthday as legit. Because, of course, it is. ? 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I mustard. Going to bed soon. Went to the writers' meeting really too stressed to read. But I ended up going over the developmental edit stuff with the group. Instantly five people wanted the MS to read, and wanted to go over my horrible revision that I hate and see if there are things that have merit, and all agreed that while the suggestion to cut has merit, they feel such a draconian cut would hurt the MS quite badly. So, I just sent the requested documents off for analysis and feedback from the group. So when I get my Beta read back, that will make six second opinions in addition to my critique partner's opinions! In other news, my critique partner had a potential request this evening for her MS in revision, so a good writing night was had by all! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Vets have been telling me that Mister Kitty is obese and needs to lose a significant amount of weight for years. Mister Kitty does not approve of diets and they make him grumpy. With his new haircut, I am coming around to Mister Kitty's side. He looks downright trim under all that fluff; maybe even skinny. I think the vets were just looking at the scale and not taking into account that Mister Kitty is humongous.

Critterfixer Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Good morning. Of course I know what today is. It's the day I pitch my novel to publishers. Two tweets out the door already. Not hoping for anything much, but you never know. We had a wonderful thunderstorm this morning, but I didn't get a good shot of any of the lighting. And I so wanted to catch one on camera. Better luck next storm! I am tired today, but I have a bunch of pitches to get out, story to write, school to teach and a house to clean. At least I feel better than I did yesterday.

egao_gakari Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Argh! Japanese has this incredible ability to stack multiple adjectives/past and present participles all on one little noun in a way that sounds awkward in English no matter how you slice it. Divide into 2 sentences? Awkward. Keep it in one sentence? Grammatically impossible. I need to step away from this durn translation for an hour and fold some laundry or something.

Our vet gives us weight recommendations based on the actual breed. " The Maine Coon is the largest breed of domestic cat.

He's listed as a domestic longhair, but he looks very maine coon and he is massive. He weighs between 17-20lbs and is about 17 now. The vet had us reduce his food and use lower calorie, but we just reduced it some because he didn't like low calorie food. Here he is at only 1yr old! The vet wanted him 15lbs or under. He's not as fat as he looks in the picture because he's all squished up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
