I am very grrrrrrr’d at my SIL. I don’t mind feeding her dogs while she is out of town - I volunteered to do it. You would think that since I’m saving her at least $50 a day boarding for two dogs, she would at least offer me gas money. No. Nothing. So I tell her I would like for her to leave leashes for the dogs where I can find them, because since the dogs and I are overweight taking a walk would be a good thing. She leaves the leashes. One of the dogs isn’t wearing a collar. I’m not going to take just one dog for a walk, as the other would be very upset and probably chew something up. Why do some sports fans have to be such assholes? There’s a person on one of the hockey boards gloating about “we beat u on ur ice” about an exhibition game. I really enjoy it when we win, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t see any need to be an asshole about it. **Picu** , I know you are a nurse and I hate to say this, but if you are seeing a change in the finger shouldn’t you call the doctor? He might not want to wait so long to see you if there has been a change for the worse. I feel so bad for you - something so seemingly small that hurts so big. I wish the damn weather would make up its mind. Rain or not, I don’t care, but just do it. I don’t like threats and I want to get my Halloween decorations up. ---

I’m eating ice cream. Just thought I’d report it. Chocolate and strawberry. It’s yum! **picu** **owie! owie! owie!** That’s all I know to say to that. I need a Hallowe’en (I like typing it like that) costume. I’m gay and I’m supposed to be f-_aaaaaa_-bu- **lous** -ly creative about stuff like this but I ain’t. ---

Elizabeth Taylor. Dolly Parton, No, I take that back. I have picked up my cheque and a prescription, and I am thinking about half an hour’s mental health type reading before I clean the bathroom and kitchen. I also need to do my physio exercises, email some people, and I was going to sweep. It seems like a lot on two hours of sleep, really. ---

Go with a really, super foppy pirate’s costume. You know, big lacy sleeves, ruffly shirt, big lacy hanky. Or…you could be a courtier from France. Big ruffly shirt, high heels, powdered wig, fake mole, big hat with lots of plumage. ---

Have you ever seen the first episode of _Arrested Development_ with the gay community dressed as pirates, boycotting the yacht club? “We here, we’re queer, we want to get married on the ocean.” I’m going to be giggling all afternoon. ---

I think I speak for all of us, **swampy** , when I say that if you choose \*any \* of the above costumes, we HAVE to see pictures. To appreciate how fabulous you look. Not to point and laugh or anything. 😃 I have a vet appt for Nikita at 5 today. I’m really not sure how this is going to go. Nikita hates hates hates the carrier. I’m fine with taking her on a harness, except that this is a new vet and I don’t know if they have a cats-only entrance. I wouldn’t want to take her in to a room full of dogs with no carrier! :eek: I hope the poor baby’s ok. ---

[/QUOTE] My usual method is to put the carrier in the bathroom, pick up the cat like there’s going to be lovin’s, and then trap him in the bathroom. Keeps you from having to repeated haul her out from under the bed. 🙂 And I just went to Staples and bought two computer rolly hutch desks for _fourteen-frickin’-fifty each_. I feel like a shopper supreme. And we can buy hundred-dollar chairs now. My completion of the library, ten months after moving in, is near at hand. ---
