Friday Misc.

dangermousie has a poll of the worst marriage proposals in literature. Check it out, if only for the paraphrases of said proposals:
ST. JOHN: You are ugly and made for labor not love. You'll make an excellent missionary.
JANE: Not the kind of missionary I was longing for with Mr. Rochester.


Does anyone have any experience with cats with colds? Kaylee kitten came home with a bit of a wheeze and sneeze, but the vet said it was because of medications she'd been given in the shelter. Now Micky is sneezing and wheezing and not moving a lot, and when I pick her up she yowls crankily like she's hurting. But she's still eating (well, eating Kaylee's food, not her own) and I don't see any discharge.

And if it is just a cold, will it do her any good to feed her chicken broth with garlic in it, like you would a human? Because Micky would eat it.

more knitting links

I was looking for a simple pattern for a keyhole scarf (having realized how one makes a sort of natural "awareness ribbon" shape) and found this scarily big page of scarf pattern links. One of the links on it is called "lots of scarves" and recursively leads to another monster page of links.

No Harry potter scarves, although there is a Dr. Who Scarf link complete with reference shots of Tom Baker, and a Star wars link. Also some generic "wizards" which might be quite familiar looking, I didn't have time to look at them all.

I have yet to produce a 9 x 7 rectangle of stockinette without a mistake in it and I'm stockpiling knitting links. I'm mental.

Somewhere in the North Atlantic, there's a whale telling another whale "Ha! You didn't think I could get up the river! Pay up, man!"
