Is it ok to leave unused portions of canned cat food in the can to be refrigerated for later? I've making myself put it into little plastic Gladware containers, and now I'm wondering if that is necessary.

What? Me too lazy to want to wash dishes? Nah....

>And you're watching telenovelas?? Jeez. It's too early for that drama.

Heh. Well, it's part of the curriculum, so I have to watch. It makes me laugh and laugh and roll my eyes forever. I also hear (and sometimes continue) the very Spanglish commentary of my first Spanish prof, which was always hysterical. CBD was here when I was watching some yesterday morning, and he was rolling his eyes forever.

Oh, dear. I hope you survive, Sparky!

WindSparrow--get one of the can covers at the pet shop. They're like $2!

Ok. I lied. They're like $4: [link]

It's a battle I always have in my manuscripts because I inevitably put in some over the top novela or Spanish talk show scene and most of the time, my editors make me take it out, saying, "This is just too unrealistic-- they don't put stuff like this on television!"

If they only knew. Poor, poor publishing lambs-- so sheltered.

Here on campus it is Freshman moving in day

K-Bug moves onto her campus on Saturday. I'm getting allergies already. Her bf, friend V (who she is currently staying with), and V's mom are helping her get settled in. I feel so helpless from here. I did send her a card with a goodie so something will be in her mailbox that first week.

HA! So true.

One of the times I was hospitalized for an extended period of time, I was in the extra-locked part of the ward because there were no rooms available in the more open part. When I'd finally get someone's attention to let me out, I'd inevitably end up spending the day in the common room watching telenovelas with a the two patients that spent the day in their wheelchairs in the common room--just to be out my room. Oh, goodness. Really not something someone in a psych ward should do all day!

Aww, Suzi -- I didn't mean to give you the sniffles. K-bug will be thrilled to get real mail. I sent my niece a $25 gift card for the movies so she'd have something in her mailbox. Have you put K-bug's new address in LJ? I'd be happy to help stuff her mailbox with love from her Mom's invisible friends.

Oh! This is a great idea! I'd totally send her a little something.

Good luck today with the exams smartypants bug. I'm jealous, the telenovelas are hysterical even when you can't understand the language. Spanish is on my list. Brendon has it this year in school. Bobby and I tried to do some over the summer with limited success. My nephew just married a Spanish teacher, so we even had a family tutor. On the to happen list.

Barb, still relatively high and dry?

WindSparrow--get one of the can covers at the pet shop. They're like $2!

Meh, my pet store sells them for $1. And my vet occasionally gives them away - usually with a Hill's logo on. I'm too much of a pet food snob to feed my cats Science Diet, but for a free lid, I don't care. I had some for the 6oz cans, but was worried it wouldn't be ok for the 12oz cans. But now that you mention it, there were some in the free box that would have fit, I just didn't grab any because I wasn't using that size can at the time. But I guess that's a big clue that it is ok to do, isn't it?

You know what else works that's cheap? The lid off a can of Hershey's syrup. Thank the Maker for Daniel's thrifty ways.
