I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that this time the reason you haven't posted is because.... of course your cat is still sick?
I have to admit, this will be the first time I have ever commented on a post without voting. And no, the reason isn't because I hate your post. It's actually a much more irritating reason...I've spent the past few days reading posts and telling people I'll be back later to vote when my power is up, and by the time my power is up it's the next day, and I do vote on their post, but I'm in the exact same position with the next post...and now I'm thinking I could really use a Long Island iced tea of my own. Fun Fact, I was born on Long Island, spent the first ten years of my life there, have family there still, and the best Long Island Iced tea I ever had was...in North Carolina. Actually, that's also where I've had the best slice of NY style pizza. And I honestly do not like North Carolina, I am generally bored to tears and slightly oppressed feeling when I'm there, but they are Masters of food, I will give them that.
I like reading your stuff, for me it's kind of like the comics in the Sunday paper--when we used to get the Sunday paper that is.
I kind of cringe for you when I see 443 comments though, I remember when you used to reply back to me haha, I figure the time it took you to read my long ass comment already exceeds the quota of time you have to say something to it.
I could give you a vote, some tiny fraction that might not take a whole hour to regenerate. A facebook like? Well no, it would still be worth double digit cents I think. I hope if I do that it won't be like leaving a handful of pennies for a waitress as a tip. I'm a strict twenty percent or more tipper in general.
Okay, finished rambling now ;)
