and also the feeling that if we could still love each other after all the shit we'd been throughGod I know this feeling. And maybe it does for some people.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm getting the pig!
I skipped and skimmed due to an exhaustingly busy day (that went well into the evening), but wanted to add my two cents about Hec's ex-employers. THEY SUCK and we all HATESES THEM!! Hoping Hec and JZ are having a lovely evening together.
There's much better employers out there, Hec. You'll find 'em.
I'm glad the wailing kitty is safe now, Cass. You done a very good deed, indeed.

Oh, HEc. I hope you had a damned fine martini tonight. No -- several.
Inconsistent performance?! BWAH. Isn't every fucking human inconfuckingsistent? What the fuck EVAH. I will come and smite them righteously with a spork, boobs bouncing with malicious yet sensual glee,while you stand there laughing, BY GOD, laughing with evil booming laughs and JZ dances a wicked dance of vituperative pain on their lying heads with tiny pointy painful boots.
Inconsistent, my smooth glowing white ASS.
Oh, I LOVE spite!
What IS it with this thread? We obtain boys, frolic with same, and then they act inscrutable!
Yo, I am so down with this, Tep. I am down with the wantinga smack me upside the head love, because I am normally so goddamned logical and think-it-through and slow, that, damn it, it would be nice to be gobsmacked with love for one damn time and have it be returned for at least a little while, because I would like to not just thoughtful and somewhat angrily analyze someone else's actions and motivations, but I would like to just worry because I am in LOVE, damn it, and I want him to love me, love me, LOVE ME.
And I am slightly incoherent because I took a painkiller for cramps and am a we bit more craxy than usual.

I keep running across adorable things I need to buy NOW just in case they're not available any more by the time I have a kid. Like, next year.
[Like, Virgin sells a onesie with the logo "Anarchy in the Pre-K," and I REALLY REALLY NEED IT.)
(At the bar tonight, my co-worker read all of our palms. Mine said that I met The One when I was really young -- TRUE! -- and that I could have lots of kids if I wanted to, because I have a really long pinky. Also that I'm going to have lots of money right before I die, and that I need to be careful about my health when I turn 40.)

Our wings are not tired.
I have a cat question while David is out drinking. I'm seriously considering staying in Otter Lake this summer and I'm unsure about the whole cat move thing.
Kitty has always lived in Florida. I adopted her when her first mom moved upstate to the land of eagles and other big cat munching birds. There are 2 areas of concern with the summer in NY plan.
First the travel part. I'm not sure how she will be in a vehicle for a trip that is 24 hours driving time. She only goes in the litter box when she has no other option (hurricane or she got stuck inside way too long). I don't know if I should have her loose in the van for much of the trip and in her carrier to get her into hotel rooms, or if she should stay in a carrier. Do I maybe put a little litter box in a carrier in the van? Although she prefers the great outdoors I can't quite imagine she would pee on a walk with leash.
We make this trip often. Sometimes straight through, sometimes up to 3 days. Depends if we want to chill along the way.
When I finally get to NY do I just let her loose to check out her new home, climb some trees, eat a few chipmunks scout out the hood. Or should I try and keep her inside a couple days. She loves to be outside. She is a cuddly people friendly cat, but she still stays outside most of the time.
The dog is so much easier for this thing. She loves to travel. Loves being in the van. As a city dog she goes nuts when she is in the mountains in a house with a dog door. The first few days she goes in and out about 200 times. I never tried to take a cat on vacation.
The alternative is to let a neighbor take care of her for a couple months. We can do this, but we would all like her to go with us if possible.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'd put her in the carrier with a small litter box in it. I wished I could have found slightly bigger carriers but any longer and they got to wide to fit in my car.
I've never had good luck with loose cats in cars. Mostly I've ended up bleeding.
When I just moved the cats it was about 22 hours of driving and they settled into the car pretty quickly each time we started out. If I do it again? I might just drive straight through because the first hour or two was the worst for them and me.
Don't know about acclimating an outside cat to a new place. But I wish her plenty of chipmunks.
