Apparently the gov will be back at the office tomorrow. Also, he apparently this is not uncommon for him to do after legislative session and they never transition power to the lt gov.

Statistical evidence that the Iran election returns were fraudulent.

I would think declaring victory in a few hours when the ballots are handwritten would be enough. Really, people. Learn believable election fraud.

Yay for Mac!

Compassionately intolerant

Ergh. Cat fellow says health isn't the issue.

Kitty recently checked out AOK at the vet, so physical health issues probably are not primary. She hears very well, and often responds to calling. Her athletic ability is still excellent (as Girlfriend observed yesterday when she jumped a pet gate) and she doesn't seem to be showing much in the way of pain. The howling tends to be when we're not physically with her -- possibly as much out of boredom as affection -- but also surfaced whenever Kitty felt like she didn't have enough attention or space on the bed in the old apartment.

She also did not cry out as much the two nights before Pooch moved over to the new place, though at night she cries out even if Pooch is not next to her. We look forward to your advice.

I have no idea what to say except that might close her in the bedroom with them so that she can't feel abandoned and they can react quickly to her if she does yowl.

Other ideas?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That's pretty much it. We have to keep our cats separated most of the time (because my cat is an aggressive territorial DICKHEAD), and my cat gets to be in the bedroom with us because he yowls if he feels abandoned/neglected/bored.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

my all-time favorite is the Psych vid (featuring Gus, of course.

Amych, do you have a link?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think you should suggest they go to someone who knows about cats. Maybe help them find that someone if you want. But they're asking you to basically guess about something that is really complex and not in your species of expertise.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

bonny, Yowly kitty sounds an awful lot like separation anxiety, and if that's it, the recent domestic shakeups won't be helping the problem. The same things that you know to treat it in dogs (people-time, calming environment, only gradually building time away...) certainly won't hurt; if they don't help, I'd second going to someone who knows cats better.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh.

Girl who claimed her face was tattooed while sleeping comes clean

Kimberly Vlaeminck, 18, made headlines when she claimed last week to have woken up from a tattoo session with 56 stars on her face. She said she had asked for just three small ones. Turns out though, Vlaeminck was lying. From the Sydney Morning Herald:

I asked for 56 stars and initially adored them. But when my father saw them, he was furious. So I said I fell asleep and that the tattooist had made a mistake," Ms Vlaeminck told Dutch TV.

(Tattoo artist Rouslan) Toumaniantz - who is covered in tattoos and piercings - had insisted Vlaeminck wanted 56 stars tattooed on her face.

But he had said he would pay for half of the laser treatment to remove the tattoos, The Telegraph said.

"Kimberley is unhappy and it is not my wish to have an unsatisfied client," Mr Toumaniantz said.

But after Ms Vlaeminck's confession he had withdrawn the offer, The Telegraph said.
