Not as exciting, but oldest daughter is adopting a cat.  The two she looked at happen to have names that are nicknames of her name and mine.  She chose mine, and I am happy that a sweet kitty will have a forever home.

That's more exciting! Congratulations to the eldest daughter!

Thanks, Parasaurolophus, but even I am more excited about your news! And I would be more excited about daughter's, but she and kitty will be a couple thousand miles away.  I hope to be able to go visit the cat at some point.  Daughter too, though she has now realized that she can keep the cat's name as is and just pretend it's me when she's scolding it. (kidding, I think)

Mamselle, I have been avoiding the cat thread since I don't currently have kitties myself and am too envious. I didn't realize one could post pictures on this board.  I may amble over to that thread at some point.

People just take out a Photo bucket (or similar) account in their forum name and post to it, then include that URL in their cat thread posts.

A revived CHE forum workaround, basically.

And you'd be welcome, I, too, currently have no kitties messing up my filling my apartment now, but I really enjoy hearing of others' little furry varmints, and offering observations from time to time....

Chickens have earlobes and those earlobes are correlated with the color eggs the chicken lays: https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/did-you-know-nutrition/you-can-determine-colour-egg-looking-chickens-earlobe

Sometimes trivia games are learning opportunities.

[mamselle]

So, if we bred them to have, say, pink, or yellow, or blue earlobes, we wouldn't have to dye Easter eggs anymore??

'Full time/part time' hiring dichotomy is a socialist structure. The idea is the full timer deserves health insurance, pension, other benefits because he needs them, while the part timer doesn't deserve them because he doesn't need them. Yet the inequality gets justified according to free market capitalism morality, i.e. he full timer has outcompeted the part timer for the more desirable employment.

Uh... that doesn't sound very socialist. Sounds rather capitalistic, in fact.
