This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It might be quite content in the crawl space. by flapjack
My wife once brought home a cat from "Feral Friends."
It got down in the crawl space and was impossible to get out. We finally (after several days) caught it in a racoon trap.
That cat lived under our bed for over a year. It would eat at night. The only way we could pet it was by hanging an arm off the side of the bed and it would come to us.
Fast forward a couple of years... it was the sweetest, kindest cat I've ever been around. It would sit in our laps for hours and let us pet it.
