Dude! I will miss you. Great games. Congrats on the $$ and the new bed.

I don't listen to the intro stories (too many "my awesome marriage proposal" stories), so maybe you talked about this... but why 29? My 29 is 209, so I'm particularly intrigued.

What are your opinions about fish in canned cat food? I volunteer at a shelter, and their official policy is no fish, claiming that "cats don't eat fish in the wild" (I don't even know where to start with that one. Of course they eat fish if they're near fish!). What do you think?

As someone who was on steroids for over 20 years... I get you. Eventually the damage from the steroids was getting more severe. Luckily, in that time, more treatments became available for my weird-ass disorder (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy).

I am a product of the NYC public school system, and our teachers were never shy about complaining about all the problems with the system. What amazes me is that since the 1970s things have gotten worse and not better.

My question, however, has nothing to do with that. I participated in Gifts for Teachers for the past two years, and I'm signed up for this one. I'm happy to help. But both times the teachers were asking for things that I couldn't find, or there were too many choices, or I just didn't understand what they were. Do the teachers mind a gift card? And if so, are amazon, Staples, and Target all acceptable? I just don't want to get the wrong thing! But I felt like my gift cards were a bit of a cop-out.

Thank you!

When I was a kid, hippies would come in a van to our playground and give out candy and preach. I remember running upstairs to my mother once and saying, MOMMY CAN I TAKE CANDY FROM THE JESUS FREAKS? And she said "Yes, but don't listen to what they say."

Yes, I got the term Jesus Freaks from my mom.
