Yes. It was Kitten Rescue.

ND and Kristin I'm sorry you didn't get the Kittens.

I finally got my break, but didn't go to the house. I just didnt' want to face the heat and the drive there and back, to get meds and then just drive back home again in a few hours. So I hid out in the break room. Tomorrow I'm going to bring some Seroquel with me just in case.

The "no outside cats ever" rule is very common with cat adoption groups, IME -- which is fine, and they've got both legit concerns and a right to set their adoption rules however they want. But I hate it when it's used as a "gotcha" thing (and this is far from the first group I've heard of doing that). Just say "we require all our placements to be indoor cats", ferfucksake. None of this "you're denied because you answered the secret shibboleth question wrong" business, please!

eta, less ranty and more personal: I'm sorry you didn't get the kitties. You're awesome pet people!

We're home from the beach.

Sorry to hear about the kitties, Kristen and ND.

Congratulations on the truck, ND!

gronklies bitches. Due to construction I am up way too early again. I am off to the bookstore for some travel reading.

Yeah. That's my issue. If you want indoor placement just say so.

I can't remember, are you living in MD??? Or is it VA? Anyway, MD state inspection sucks. Everyone I know, including me, who brought a car in from out of state ended up having to get work done. Sucks!

VA. And we knew we were going to have to have most of it done - taillights were cracked, brakes were going. Still. One thing I'm pissed about is apparently the fuel pump was recalled (which explains why the car just fucking stopped in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in Athens) and the dealer never bothered to send us the recall notice.

One of my MD friends got a pass on his Jeep Cherokee he brought in from NJ. The gearshift knob had long since broken off, and had been replaced with the ball finial from a newel post. The MD inspection requires that the gear map be clearly labelled on the gearshift, so it was going to fail.

The guy doing the inspection handed my friend an index card and a pen. My friend drew the gear map. The guy taped the card to the wood ball, and passed the vehicle.

Bwah! I guess a lot of it is up to the individual mechanic doing the inspection. I know people who've gotten 2nd opinion inspections and ended up having to get much less fixed than they would have if they'd gone with their first inspection.

All mine!

I'm sorry for your kitty rejection, ND & KT. Did the B&W kitty Alissa was pimping get adopted by someone else?
