Does it need us as much as we need it?

So our needs outweigh its own needs as long as we need them to.

In the 1930s, it was common for singers to do the songs as-is regardless of gender. Billie Holiday had no problem singing "Miss Brown To You" that way, for instance. And it's gorgeous. (According to biographer Robert O'Meally, Holiday loved both men and women, so that works.) On the other hand, when Anita O'Day sang "Have You Met Miss Jones" in the 1950s, someone felt obligated to change "Miss" to "Sir." I always found that more awkward than just the idea of squeezing in the extra syllable that would be required by using "Mr." Or y'know, just leaving it as girl-meets-girl. The whole point of "Have You Met Miss Jones" is Oh, hey this new person seemed utterly ordinary but they have this special something I can't define! I'm in love! Doesn't work as well if the "ordinary" guy you've just met is a Knight. Bah!

[goes off to write a fan version of the song called "Have You Met John Jones"] Wait. How do I know he didn't trick me into liking him using his mind. This is creepy.

Hot to trot, make any man's eyes pop She He use what she he got to get whatever she he don't got Fellas drool like fools, but then again they're only human The chick stud was a hit because her his body was boomin' Gold, pearls, rubies, crazy diamonds Nothin' she he ever wore was ever common Her His dates heads of state, men of taste Lawyers, doctors, no one was too great for her him to get with Or even mess with, the Prez she he says was next on her his list And believe me, you, it's as good as true There ain't a man alive that she he couldn't get next to

Nothin' like some bejeweled chick stud earrings to brighten up a dull day of business meetings or household errands. https://www.etsy.com/market/chick_studsIt's way too hot out for the black leather dress. I want to live!

'Cause I want to live like animals Careless and free like animals I want to live I want to run through the jungle The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

There's a sandy corner in the backyard that the neighbor cats have designated their outdoor litter box. I've started covering that space with found pavers and rocks. They'll probably find some other corner to use, though.

A cat would poop in our hallway when I was young. I know the cat was eventually trapped and shipped off to who knows where.

Awww... poor kitty. I'm a big softy and could never call "the man" on these visitors. I am borrowing a trick recommended on GardenWeb, though. I've taken some wooden skewers and "planted" them pointy side-up in spots the cats like to use. We'll see if that helps.

I hope it does. I was 5 when the kitty was taken away... I heard it was let loose somewhere far away.

I was old enough when my first pet died, that it wasn't an issue.
I felt bad that I didn't treat him well enough while he was still alive.
