jackass.It's the wrod of the day...
WindSparrow, thanks for the kitty time-out info. Puppycat could have used it last night as she was bitey. Her eyes were huge and all black, she was evil. Then she snuggled. It's like Combo #1 with her.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Cass, you are most welcome. I came up with my time-out policy from necessity. One night Harvey and Sammie were fighting so bad, I just stuck Harvey (who appeared to be the aggressor) under a laundry basket and lectured him. A few weeks later I was reading a book by an animal communicator who recommended time-outs, and I refined how I did things, but was greatly comforted knowing I was neither crazy nor cruel for doing it.
Possibly the lecture was a bit over the top.

Nah, I was trying to reason with puppycat last night and she falls off of the bed on a regular basis. Also, you can pet her side and Oops! she falls down. I still try to reason first.
FTR, "No bites!" with a firm finger pointing at her? Makes her do the arm back, pointing thing right back atcha and she's got claws. We are still, apparently, learning.
I have the perfect basket all picked out for the next lesson. Just determining what to weight it with. Perhaps the other cat, she would enjoy the mocking.

Wahhh! My throat, which was vaguely hurting all day, has now turned into a festival of "OW FUCKING OW" as in I can only barely swallow...on one side. WTF? It's just half my throat that hurts, apparently. I mean, swallowing is painful. But the pain is definitely one-sided. What is that about? Medical-y buffistas?
Also, I know many of you have been in long-distance relationships. Which I am not in. A relationship. But I am still frustrated by the distance from my new umfriend. Tell me that I am not crazy for trying to see her again soon, and that I will not explode if "soon" is >3 weeks.

I'd recommend an unabridged dictionary, leaving the other cat free to view the prisoner from whatever angle s/he choses.
{{{{{Meara}}}}} wish I had good words for you. I'm learning this relationship thing as I go.
P.S. You'll survive. You ain't crazy. What you feel is pretty reaso... well, reason isn't really in it, eh? Let's just say that your emotions are well within normal parameters. You'll find your way.
You will.
Yes. You will.

WTF?Strep.
Not that I am medical, but I had it about once a month until I had my tonsils out at 23 (not rec'd that late, btw) and it sounds like strep used to feel.
I have little advice on the long-distance even with having done it several times. You will survive, but seeing each other as soon as possible sounds like a good thing.
I'd recommend an unabridged dictionary"What's that say? I can't reeeeeeeeeeeead." Heh.

Why do the Mariners suck?
Default state for majority of the team's history?
Gah. Lily went from zero to cranky in .01 seconds, and is at the moment so worked up, I don't think she remembers why she was mad in the first place. I think she was probably hungry and a little gassy, but now she's so furiously upset that she's offended by the mere sight of boobie, and all that screaming isn't helping the gas situation.

I can't even.
Why do the Mariners suck?
Short term? They don't have enough pitching. Some of that is injuries and some of that is decision-making.
Long-term? They make the classic mistake (many do) of paying players for performances they've already had. To me, it seems a big part of today's big money game is trying to avoid overpaying players for underperforming. There are tools out there to help analyze and predict player performance (that is, make it less of a total crapshoot) The Dodgers let Beltre go after his big season, since his predictors don't indicate that last year was a new level for him, but rather, a fluke. The Mariners signed him, gambling that last year's numbers were a new standard for him. So far, not so much. It only takes a few mistakes like that to affect your club long-term and only one or two to wreck a season.
