Spike ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
I'm about to say something I've never said before - I totally love that Hanson song/video!
Neither of my cats has any interest in human food. Bella loves to chew on plastic, though, to the extent of balancing on the curved edge of my clawfoot tub to chomp on the shower curtain.
Harvey seems to think that anything he sees mommy (or daddy) eating, he needs to try. He loves mushrooms, green beans, carrots, and I have seen him eat asparagus. Also, bread. As in, when we go grocery shopping, we have to put the bread away first, because if we put the meat away first, he'll tear open the bread and start eating it. As in, I can't leave a ziplock bag of "Amish Friendship Bread" starter on the counter to grow, because he will eat it. Sammie, OTH, is only interested in meat. She loves chicken.
Gracie is a fiend for asparagus. She likes cauliflower and all kinds of greens too. Weirdo.
I had a cat a long time ago who was crazy for honeydew melon. And peas.
Cats is weird.
Both my cats scorn all human food, even meat. Leo will eat rubber bands and styrofoam, though, if he gets the chance. Which he doesn't, anymore, ever. Idiot cat. Percy will stalk french fries and bread crust pieces, but he only gnaws on them when he catches them and then wanders away. Then I have to kill the poor things.
Oh yeah, rubber bands.I haven't been able to have those in the house for years. Both the dog and current cat could sniff them out like crazy.
Amarna used to shun all human food, except that she loves to lick the lid of any macaroni or potato salad containers, as well as Ben & Jerry pints. Then, I decided to give her a little pinch of Brown's fried chicken (the chicken part, not the fried coating), and that was it--whenever I bring it home now, she thinks the entire piece is hers.
I try really hard not portray or endorse traditional gender roles with Emeline. Most of the ones that she has are pretty typical developmentally and don't have a lot to do with what she's been taught or has witnessed or has been exposed to.
But.
I honestly never thought that I would be trolling the interwebs for an educational skeleton for a 5 year old girl.
ALL OF THE MAC WILL BE MINE. And probably Jilli's. Cause she will beat me with her parasol, otherwise.
Thanks for the job~ma, Omnis and Shir. I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
Cats and food: When I was growing up, our cat, Isabella, decided she really wanted to try corn-on-the-cob. She jumped on the table and swiped the piece my mom was eating out of her hands and onto the floor. Then I had two cats who loved cantelope, although they mostly licked it, rather than eat.
