Or asking for money.

In which case it's me.

My cat, she has freaking acne. I've had cats in my family for twenty five years, and I've never heard of cat acne. And there it is, on her chin.

Oh! I taught my cat a word! "Brush." When I say it, she comes running over while meowing, because she knows I'm about to brush her.

Hmmm.... if she ever gets out and gets lost, I'll have to put up "Lost Cat" signs that says she comes when you call "Brush."

My worst fear is that my great niece will end up like Kaylee Anthony. If not dead in a garbage bag, then molested or abused in some way. How do you explain, "Gee, kid, you have shitty assholes for parents. But they're just not shitty enough to justify taking you away."

If I weren't afraid of a federal kidnapping charge, I'd book a plane ticket today.

Unless it is weird and pervy

You'll have to be more specific.

I'm having a cocktail and hopefully going to bed early tonight.

I was up at 3 a.m. with a teary Niecelet and, wow, I am grateful that's all it was after reading about your day, Cash. That's just awful. I hope things start to get better.

Better than the cats that come into the bathroom when you're peeing. Not that I have those or anything. Weirdos.

Julie: enamel/ ceramic or metal food dishes. Plastic can exacerbate chin acne. Sometimes it is just the food and/or their messy eating habits. Scrub with a warm wet washcloth if they let you. Hydrogen peroxide (dilute) if they are cool with that. (Hahaha!)

Devi gets fewer with corel and metal, but she still occasionally gets a zit.

There are cats that don't?? I've always got a full audience. Including one who tries share the toilet with me.

My cat Pico had stud tail, which is the cat version of backne.

Not that I've ever met.

...and want to be petted.

You know what's extremely satisfying? Getting new calendars! i found two really pretty 18 month calendars at B&N that are spiral bound which is of the win.

Other good things?

1. We have tickets to see the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes on Saturday and we're going with good friends of ours. Should be funnish!

2. We got tickets to see Mary Poppins, August: Osage County, Parade, Dreamgirls and South Pacific all for $200 for both of us. Weeee!

3. Dinner was mixed grains from TJs with firecracker shrimp.

4. Both I Love You, Beth Cooper and Harry Potter are opening soon.

Cash, I am sorry that you and your fam is in this position. I admire that you're doing the best you can to be as supportive as possible to your grand niece. It just all sucks.
