  1. We have a white elephant game that a lot of the office participates in. I no longer do, because it was a waste of my money. How many christmas cookie jars, candle holders, and other girly frou frou CRAP do I have to look through to find a decent gift? Forget it.

     

    ETA: The last time I participated, I snagged a remote control car and gave it to my nephew (after I tested it, or course). Technically it's regifting, but I don't think he minded.

  2. A lady called us saying she's been seeing a 'huge' black cat around her house. We put a trap in her yard. Everyone keep your fingers crossed!

     

    In other news, I put the stalker in my garage until I can get him to the vet. It remains to be seen if I'll find him another home, take him to a humane society, or keep him.

     

     

    <--Sucker.

  3. I want to bring the stalker in. Shocker, huh? I have some concerns, though. Will it traumatize my 14 year old cat? Will we butt heads because he's always been an outside cat, and if I bring him in I will keep him in? Should I put him in my garage first so they can smell each other through the door before putting him in 'general population'? Should I take him to the vet for shots and/or neuter him first? My other 3 are front declawed, and I will not want to declaw another cat. Will he bully them? Can I keep my house and furniture intact? Will he take to a litter box?

     

    I've been feeding him twice a day (as I do my other cats, I half their servings). I feel like we need to piss or get off the pot. He even chased another cat away last night, so I really need to get him in or get him a home, or take him to a humane society. I'm afraid he could chase away my cat if he's trying to come home. He's guarding the house better than the useless dog!

  4. I got the 'steak people' maybe two weeks ago, and I'm in PS. I really need to get a holster. We keep two loaded guns in the bedroom, but they'll do me no good at the front door. And the dog? Worthless.

     

    ETA: And dude, I don't eat meat.

  5. I am getting a 4GB nano for xmas. I originally wanted a mini for fear of the tiny, delicate nano. My brother and I looked in several places, including Brandsmart, who had 6GB minis for $217 two weeks ago. They no longer had them. The guy at Best Buy said, "They don't make those any more." Yes I know, that's why I want one!

  6. Don't remind me, maybe 25% or less. I put a lot of thought into my gifts, and like to give something they definitely want or need. Sometimes that means cash and/or gift cards if I have no clue. I hate that, feels impersonal to me. I love getting them, though.

  7. The fact that someone drinks does not mean they do so and drive. Having said that, I do it to relax. I do it for the taste, also. It's about time for Samuel Adams' Winter Lager!

     

    ETA: I do not have kids nor do I plan to. I drink maybe twice a month - a few beers on a Saturday night, or a beer at dinner.

     

    ETA again - A beer on Thanksgiving at my parents' to take the edge off. ;)

  8. Nothing at Paulding. I did meet clawdia1998, though. I searched high and low for blank sheets of that plastic that yard sale signs are made of with no luck, so I bought a bunch of them at Walmart so I can use the back.

     

    On a stranger note, I had a dream that he came home. He looked rough, but that's ok. And I believe I'm having my stalker neutered whether I bring him inside or not. He might not like me much anymore, as my husband pointed out. I can live with that.

  9. - Politics: Vote or don't whine about your government later. 

    - Religion: If you want to be spiritual, choose one that suits you and have at it.  if you don't, that's fine with me too.

    - aboortzion: Be for or against it, but don't try to force your opinion on me.  That same statement can be applied to politics and religion.

    I knew I liked you for some reason.

  10. I borrowed a trap from Cobb. Now what? I really don't want to take the orange cat (or any, for that matter) to the shelter where they could be euthanized needlessly. I saw an old gent much like my Baby at Cobb yesterday that just broke my heart. Another orange tabby sweety, and he deserves to live the remaining years of his life in comfort. And I know most will want to adopt a kitten.

     

    But yes, the seduction is working. I'm debating putting my stalker in our garage so he's at least out of the cold, until we can assess his indoor manners.

     

    Going back to Paulding today.

  11. Mostly my husband. He's been so sweet and understanding about my cat (who he loves, too). He didn't rush me when I was visiting with my brothers yesterday in AL. He even brought me flowers last night when he had to run to the store for something. I'm a lucky girl.

  12. I think part of it is that they assume we're idiots, especially women. I just took my car to a dealer for warranty work. The auto dim on the rearview mirror would cut out, and sometimes I could push the button a few times and it would come back on. The day before I went, it wouldn't come back on at all. I dropped my car off, and they called me that afternoon. I spoke to the one of the managers, who has been dealing with me since 1996 or so and knows I'm not a dumbass. The technician was in the background saying that I need to turn the auto dim ON and that it needs to be dark for it to come on. Uh, is 5:30 in the morning dark enough for you, asshat? How insulting, even if I didn't know a lot about cars. They're replacing my mirror, so I'll be sure to pass on that he can kiss my lily white ass.

  13. I was out repairing and putting up additional signs yesterday. As I was walking back to my car after putting up a new one, a group of kids stopped to look at it. I drove a little further up to the animal clinic. As I got back into my car, the kids caught up with me. One of them asked how much the reward was. I shrugged my shoulders, and said, "Whatever I've got." I was actually thinking of at least $100, but I've read that you're not supposed to be specific. This may be grim, but should I specify that he must be alive? Some of these kids around here...I just don't know.
