In general, of course, I know not to. However, I have a couple <em>WTF?</em> photos that I would love help in 'deciphering.' (e.g., strange lettering on a cave wall in Turkey that doesn't match up with any alphabet I can find). post:metatalk.metafilter.com,2010:site.19378 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:12:55 -0800 kanewai By: ocherdraco http://metatalk.metafilter.com/19378/Is-it-bad-form-to-selflink-to-a-photo-we-took-on-Ask-MeFi#779547 That's totally fine.

She gets cool fabric and sews it into little pillows or fish-shapes and stuffs them with pillow stuffing and catnip, and then gives them to animal shelters and such. And Roswell will hang out with her, "helping." She came downstairs yesterday because she was missing an-almost done toy; we still haven't found it. It's a good thing he's fixed and will never meet your Magpie! He's pretty quiet.
