Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Um.
A cat has wandered into my apartment.
I'm not sure where she came from, but I don't want to to let her out if she can't find her way back.
I called the number on her collar and left a message.
Is that the right protocol? Or should I just let her back out?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
They were sweet (well, the dog was; the lizard was freaky in that penetrating-stare kind of way they have, and the kitty was a freak in that Siamese way), but we just SO didn't have the room.
I just bought David Attenborough's new doco, Life in Cold Blood. I'm looking forward to much reptilian goodness.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Burrell, I'm pretty sure Landmark is the rebranding of est. I only know one person who's done it, and he's...not doing much to recommend it. I mean, he pimps it endlessly, but he's no shining example of the great good work it does.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
If you already called and left a message for the owner you should probably keep track of the cat until she/he gets back to you.

It's a cult.
It's...um....it's like...shoot, I feel like Sean talked about having gone one time? They break you down, and talk about how you learned all wrong, and you need to re-learn how to communicate with everyone in your life and how to know who you are and all that jazz? EST, or something like that, in the 70s or whatever? And then after they have you all broken down and rebuilt up and then they get you to pay more and more money to do better and more important and specialer seminars, etc etc?

Do they let them pee nowadays? Or do they still make them hold it?

P-C, the last time that happened to my parents, they kept the cat. 'Course, there was no collar...but she was blatantly somebody's cherished pet. (We're thinking the somebodies in question must have moved, or maybe a little old lady passed away or something, because the wee cat just appeared out of nowhere, never seen before, and moved in.)
I wouldn't worry unduly, whichever route you choose to follow - if you let the cat out, it'll find its way home if it wants to go home. But the phoning-owners thing should work out fine - cats enjoy having minions to do the strenuous legwork. It's all good.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My sister did Landmark for awhile.She got some good out of it, but wasn't able to deal with the hard sell part of it. And it did open her eyes to somethings she was doing to herself.

That's part of the changes. They don't encourage you to leave the room, but it was more realistic in how it dealt with those kinds of issues --
