MISCELLANEOUS NEWS

• Vacant Uterus lost all of her blog feeds from bloglines. Hundreds of subscriptions...poof. Please help her rebuild her side bar. If you read her blog, let her know in a comment so she can add back your blog. Or if you know your blog was on her side bar, let her know. Hell, this is an oppotunity to confuse her completely and get your blog listed on a very cool blog :-) Yeah, Flicka...I was on the side bar...I promise! But seriously, please help her out. This is one of my worst fears--can you imagine if I lost all of my feeds? There are close to 800 of them!
