I think that's what I'm doing, but I could really use another hand on his body, and one to open his ear up! Ah well.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.
'Touched'
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now tagless for your comfort.
How would he know my address? So weird.
Did they run your plates? Your current address might be on your car registration.
I was up until nearly 5 a.m. DH got up with the kids at 7. He has the same problem sleeping that I do but he went to bed around 3.

One technique to drug or otherwise immobilize uncooperative cats (and small dogs) is to kneel so that the animal is between your legs, clamped/squished down securely. Then you can grab the head (or buttal region) with one hand and apply medication with the other. It's not very dignified, but works like a charm. You can also 'mummify' them in a large terrycloth towel, which they're not fond of either, but also it works in the short term.

Ah, that would totally do it! I'll try that tonight. Good thing he's so stupid that when he runs away after the first ear, I can get him to come right back with the kissy noises.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies, all
I am so woefully behind here. I can kind of keep up with the Firefly and Heroes threads (though the latter likely won't be possible come the 24th) but everything else just moves way too fast for me at the moment.
Just wanted to pop in and say that Mattias and his mother are both doing well. He's figuring out how to roll and scooch around a little bit. He's still slower than a turtle about it, but he's getting closer and closer to being able to get himself into trouble. He's also smiling and babbling and, according to his mother, giggling, though I've yet to witness the last bit, unfortunately.
The new job is still going well. There's been some personel shake-ups that are a little disconcerting, but I'm still enjoying the environment and the people I work with.
We're hopefully getting closer to finding a house. We're taking a second look at a house the gf really likes today, as well as first looks at several others. The house she likes is far from perfect, but it meets our needs and the seller is highly motivated, so we might be able to get a good deal on it.
It's just as well the house search is moving along, because we're continuing to have issues with the apartment and now one of our upstairs neighbors has developed a severe attitude problem, so the sooner we can get out of here, the better.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
House~ma to you, Kalshane! Also, less charitably, your upstairs neighbor can SHUT IT anytime now.
Any new Mattias pictures?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hi, Kalshane! Good to see your font! Hope all goes well with the obtaining of house.

Hey, Kalshane! Good to hear an update -- housema to you!
A short stint of sitting outside reveals that it's still too cold to sit outside...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
house ma~~ Kalshane!

Aww, yay Kalshane! Good luck!
Alibelle, I understand your desire to be 19. I am now 30. When did that happen? I think I should be 27. 27 is a good number. It's old enough, but not too old. It's odd. I like the odd numbers better. And it's a cube! Can't I go back? Please? I mean, 30's been great so far, for these few weeks, but...dang.
