I've been dumped by my cat.
Damn. Now THAT's gotta sting.
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I only had a brain...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Huh. I doubt I'd get rid of a pet for a boyfriend, but for a live-in/husband who was allergic? Yeah, I would. It would be really hard -- I've had pets most of my life -- but I'd do it for a spouse. Not for a BF, as they have impermanent status.
I would not get rid of a pet if it were simply a case of the guy not liking the pet. If it's that much of a deal-breaker, then there are probably other things I wouldn't like about the guy.
But allergies I understand, and if I love someone enough to marry him, and he's allergic, I'd give my pet away.
Nora, I'm glad you posted that. I was feeling like Hec's point was taken places he didn't intend it to go.
Me, too.

Our wings are not tired.
-t, that's good to hear. We want you stress free this weekend. (and always)

Very nicely put, Nora.
Thanks, Calli! It's a load off my mind. (eta: and Laura! I will strive to keep my moving anxiety to a minimum this weekend. Seeing your pampered and pretty self will help with that, I'm sure)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I've been dumped by my cat.
Damn. Now THAT's gotta sting.
Oh, yeah. I hurt worse than getting dumped by the then boyfriend: after all, I hadn't rescued him from the streets and fed him for the past three years.
But allergies I understand, and if I love someone enough to marry him, and he's allergic, I'd give my pet away.
I can see this. I just don't believe in love at first sight (at least for me), and if the guy wasn't able to deal with the pets (whether through allergies or other issues) I can't see dating him long enough to fall in love with him.
Of course, I also expect to die an old maid anyway, so my perspective is not everyone's.

My alarm clock is set to NPR, and the timing was such that this morning, what woke me up was the Star Wars theme, as it led into the story about the movie. It was actually a little disconcerting at first.

Always Anti-fascist!
It would take an *incredibly* special person...The Love of my Life, which I am so sure is not there for me, I'll use an acronym, LOML to give up a furry friend for. But if LOML had allergies, I suppose I would.

Jealous of connie, now. I don't know when I'll get to see it.
