• Sunrise of the Dinosaurs

  By Mindy on 2011-01-20 • ( 10 )

  I love black cats so I was delighted when basement cat came onto the scene. I hope that this long lived meme is around for a while yet. If you prefer ceiling cat, feel free to post them too.

  “highly educated women should quit their jobs in order to guide and “sculpt” their husbands to professional triumphs” – I don’t have a subscription to Madison magazine so I can only assume that it is real, not a tongue in cheek article. I’d love someone to prove me wrong – about the article that is. I don’t think I’m wrong in thinking this is a bad idea.
