One use for a phone book was to prop a little kid in a regular chair so they could eat at the table. Like, after they outgrew a baby highchair and could balance on their own. Also you could prove your strength by ripping one in half.

Listings were usually under the name of the adult male, for safety as well as sexism. A woman living alone would probably use just her initials for safety.

If you want to practice compliments, a safe choice is often some version of "cute shoes!" Obviously some shoes aren't cute, they're "super" or "dapper," or (some adjective I'm too old and out of touch to know) or "I bet you can run real fast in them."

Spaying her will settle her hormones, give her one less reason to try to get out, and will stop any neighborhood tomcats from trying to get in! It's very much worth doing. Afterwards she may need to wear a onesie for a little while to keep her from licking her stitches, you know how raspy kitty tongues can be.

Don't forget Gosford Park!

Despite the picture, in both marriage and PhD programs approximately 50% of successful candidates are women.

Cult and religious are archaeologist-speak for we don't see a practical purpose and have no idea. I'm going to hold on to "they buried the god-tier sheep bone gamer girl with her wins." Come to think of it, god-tier equals cult figure, maybe you can pray to her for wins
