We didn't know DH was allergic to cats when we adopted one, who had two kittens which we kept, and one moved in on us in preference to the neglectful neighbors who he'd formerly belonged to. Attrition took all but the orignial momcat, and she was with us 16 years.

Two months after she died, his chronic mild respiratory symptoms cleared up, another month or two and his nonspecific and sporadic mild rash cleared up, and he stopped taking OTC antihistamines. He felt so much better I didn't have the heart to ask to have another cat.

Eight years later, he was the one who spotted the injured feral who needed rescuing. We vacuum and swiffer the house (not as often as we should, actually), and brush, comb, and wipe down the cat with a damp cloth at least once and usually more daily. It keeps the allergens to a manageable minimum. Everybody's happy.

Oh, no, the nifty metaphor isn't going to match the crap paper for the crap class!

God bless critter rescuers.

Hmm. So you think I should make the metaphor more crap then?

This is a 15-hour a week job with benefits. You read that right. Benefits. Health insurance and paid vacation/sick time.

Yay, vw!!!!! That's absolutely fantastic! All the ~ma to you over the next few days while waiting for an answer.

MY iPOD CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wahoo!!! Good day in vw-land!

ION, conf calls? Still effing suck!

Ohh...bad day in Gloomcookie-land.

Oops. [link]

BWAHAHAHAHA! Thank you, Betsy, I needed that!

Yay! I finished my paper!

Yay, Emily!!!

I hate one of my cow-orkers. Everything has to be her way all the time. Well, when it affects me? I'm going behind her back and make it the way I want. Pfftb. So there.

If consistency or crappiness is what you feel this teacher is looking for, absolutely. Though after my initial shock, I've come to the decision that maybe a little variety would be welcome. Keep it nifty.

Is LJ logging anyone else out? I logged out, because I joined a community, and wanted it to show up on my client. I logged back in, and ticked the log-out-never ticky box. It still logged me out. I went and logged off of and back on, with my client, and then logged back on at livejournal.com, and again ticked the "never" ticky box. I didn't even shut my browser window, but it still logged me off, again.

Catching up from waaaay back:

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.

The final thing that caused me to break up with the PsychoEx? His statement that when we moved in together (which hadn't really been discussed), I was going to HAVE to get rid of those stupid stuffed animals, and that it was dumb for me to be 25 and sleep with a toy rabbit. That was the final clue of "Wow, you are not the person for me, are you?"

MY iPOD CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay! And lots of job~ma to you.

Aaaaand Jilli trumps the Bitches with stuffed animals.

But it definitely was a big old clue.

Yay, vw! And have a heaping helping of the very best jobma. Good thoughts.

Yay for the iPod, vw! And much job~ma, too!

I've been on all morning, more or less, and it's been fine for me.
