I love this cartoon!

Oh, he understands why people make the jokes, and he doesn't really hate them. But he does bitch a lot about having to hear them over and over and over and over and over again.

any idea what the press date on that strip is SnowFlake?
(I cant get close enough to read it)

May 5, 2007, Ponine.

Comics.com (you have to register now, I'm on a free subscription for this strip)

Thanks, its current then.
I used to subscribe to that strip as well, but I let it go when I never got to it enough.
Hallmarks of Felinity is one of my faves.

(its not in the paper down here, but used to be when I was in Denver.)

Hey! Who are they trying to fool... This isn't the Queen, it's Dick Cheney in drag!!!

Dining reservations are made. Got every one on the first requested day.

YAY!

So, on the advice of my apt complex, I decided to check my smoke detector. There is a button on the front, apparently, that I can use to test if it's operational.

I held the button down, and it beeped a few times.

Is that good?

I figured I'd have to replace a battery (since I've been here for nearly 4 years and haven't yet), but apparently it's electric. OK, so that means it hasn't been up there with a dead battery.....

....but when I got close with a flashlight, there are very, very small letters on it that say it won't work if the power fails. What good is that?

It has a battery back-up. Replace the battery.

Do we have any avid Tink collectors on this board?
if you feel you qualify for this role, please let me know.
