Who else would you add to the list?

What is the first Sookie Stackhouse book? I want to check it out, but not sure which one to get first.

Both are basically scenes from a movie intercut with the band standing in a sunlit forest. Of course, Bryan Adams and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves are before the time of most Paramore and Twilight fans.

Are Clumber spaniels prone to submissive or excited urination like cocker spaniels are?

I and several of the other animal welfare supporters I know are worried that the Marley and Me movie will cause a surge in impulsive labrador purchases, and a subsequent surge in labrador surrenders in a few months or year, when those cute puppies grow into untrained bulldozers. Do you think this will happen? Do you plan to do anything to help prevent it? Some of us were talking about approaching movie theaters to hand out brochures about puppy mills with Marley and Me movie ticket purchases, or at least put brochures on the counter.

I missed the company Christmas party due to an out-of-town obligation that had been on the calendar months in advance. At the party, everyone was given an ipod touch as a bonus (we aren't getting cash this year). My manager told me I'd be getting one, but the boss hasn't brought it in for me yet. I think they may have forgotten. Should I remind them? Ordinarily I wouldn't worry about it, but this is all I'm getting this year as a bonus.

I was just wondering how many of the shelter and rescue volunteers, employees, and former employees on Y!A have read Redemption by Nathan Winograd. I am reading it now, and am nearly done. What did you think? Do you agree that we could become a no-kill nation if all the shelters' leadership would quit making excuses for the killing and commit to saving lives?

Check out this website (from a university, not a political organization) www.ontheissues.org and then say if you were surprised by your candidates' stances on any particular issues, or how they voted.

I am invited to a dear friend's investiture (receiving the veil) at a cloistered convent. I am wondering a few things, such as how I should dress (the same as for church?) if I should take a donation for the convent, and how long the ceremony will last.
