Thanks all for goading me into building my own window screens :) I will be doing so this coming weekend. You are right. I am lazy.

:-)

I'm also going to build an inner-hanging balcony planter box this weekend. I have a bad tendency to say I'm going to build something and not doing it. The computer is instrumental in sucking my time and my life away and I've got to get off of it more and wasting my time less. There's lots left to do around here and I feel crappy when I don't get it done. Maybe Jen will write me some honey-do lists?

Had a bit of a run-in with an online loser today who was writing things akin to "my dog has the right to run around having random sex with people's pets and it's their fault for not spaying their females and so if they end up with too many puppies that have to be killed, well so be it". In the end he said "oh, I was just joking" after a number of people including me got suitably outraged. I don't think he was joking, or even trolling, quite honestly. I think he was just being a selfish, irresponsible jerk. That kind of attitude is why Jen volunteers at a cat shelter because not enough people care enough about the animals they profess to 'love' to take care of them properly. Way too many animals die.

Personally, I'd like to see any irresponsible pet owner eat the animals that get killed because of their stupidity. I bet the stupidity would stop quickly.
