Minus water being a chemical with its one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds.

AKA H2O.

It also might be likely you're joking, at which case I apologize.

Not all Portland drivers can stop driving -- but come on, we all can be on the lookout for small creatures. Even if you don't agree that cats should be outside, it's not the cat's fault that the owner made that decision. Plus, there are kids and other creatures who might dart into the roads. Cars often speed like maniacs down our 25 MPH side street. What the hell is their problem?

My cats used to be indoor/outdoor, until one was hit by a car a few months ago. He lived but is permanently injured (oh, and you don't want to know the cost of a few nights in the kitty ICU at DoveLewis -- they're great, but ouch). Now he and his sibling are staying indoors -- both for themselves and the local birds. The cats aren't happy about their new status yet. Another friend who made the transition said it took several months before her cats stopped trying to run outside whenever the door was open for a few seconds. It's hard, since I know my cats loved exploring, but the pain my cat-boy went through in his recovery was even more heartbreaking.

I hope you & your girlfriend can find happiness with a new cat, when you're ready.

Fluoridian slip?

He probably thought you were one of our elderly drivers.
'small penis' 'ugly bitch' - blah blah blah.
You sound worse than you make this guy out to be.
Now move on over and let the city pass your slow ass.
Posted by frankieb]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 19:11:53 -0700 Portland Mercury I would be so angry that the only proper way to deal with it would be by a note.
Why should they even have to confront your inconsiderate ass anyway?

Too bad, it is one of the few tax increases I ever voted for, even though it will be of no benefit to me whatsoever. And it goes along way with my thinking of health care as a basic right.
This to me represents the fact that the politics of fear still work, especially here in supposedly 'progressive' Portland. Fear, and Fear of Change.
You and Jenny McCarthy can enjoy your victory.
