[wording stolen from Uilos; I don't know Tam as well as she does, but concur about her cat-judgement.]

tamnonlinear is fostering two great little cats. Unfortunately, they're creating an undue amount of stress for her permanent cats and as such they need a new home. If you are within reach of DC and are interested in a pair, or know someone who is, please get ( Read more... )

Those of you who go to conventions and SCA stuff on the East Coast may know fabricdragon; I first met her in person at Arisia. This is a newly rescued dog that will hopefully do service/stability work.

Copypasting from someone else who signalboosted:My acquaintance fabricdragon has a dog with a broken tooth, which is affecting the dog's ability to eat. The tooth needs ( Read more... )

Signalboost: Anybody going from DCish to Bostonish and willing to bring two cats along?

2) Anybody play a lute? Anybody who plays a lute interested in doing so for pay the evening of 18 August at the lower tip of DC a couple blocks from Waterfront Metro)? ( some detail below cut; contact me directly for the further detail I've been sent. )

Back from Baitcon! It was marvy! No LJ since late Thursday! Somewhat decently rested! Fully cuddled!  Need to replace two tyres! (Flat was 9 miles from home last night, and the other front tyre is showing metal on the inside edge.)

Signal Boost #1: A coworker has Mystics v Indiana Fever tickets for tonight. She paid $70 for them but will take $35. ( Read more... )

Seems Arrow Trucking (based in Tulsa Oklahoma) closed down with no warning yesterday, and deactivated all of their fleet fuel cards in the process. This left some 1,400 truckers stranded with no way to buy more fuel for their rigs (without spending their money) or no way to get home*. Many of the rigs were also towed away ( Read more... )
