Loki is SO CONFUSED by Pumpkin. See, she's started to try to play with him. Except she spits and 'barks' when she bats at him. Which he takes as a sign to back off, and then she doesn't get to play and she doesn't get to discover he will play with her. Sigh.

Also, every night, I put a collar on her (she's wily, I think it might be necessary) but every morning, I find it in a new place not on her. And yet she doesn't mind it when I'm watching.

ANyone here have any experience with removing gel nail polish? The manicurist who put it on said to take it off like normal but its not coming off. And I looked online but they mention soaking your fingers in acetone for a long time. Which I really don't want to do.

100% acetone on a nail-sized piece of cotton ball. Cover tightly with foil, wait 10 minutes, and it should slide right off. Note: do one hand at a time unless you've become really adept at wrapping your fingers with tin foil using tin foil wrapped fingers.

Someone remind me that it's a terrible idea to respond to someone's post on FB comparing the Penn State situation to Planned Parenthood and their "cover up of child sex abuse." Because it was posted by a Catholic.

*sits on hands*

"terrible" is spelled "lots of fun." But maybe not....

Tell them another Catholic told you, "Full speed ahead, and nuke 'em from orbit."

I just want to post, "Seriously? You really want to use THIS argument?" It was something to the affect that March of Dimes and the Susan Komen foundation both give to PP and by supporting these charities, you're abetting PP's crimes.

I could also post something about how every penny in the plate in a Catholic church has done the same thing.

I less than three JZ.

How you feeling, by the way?

Wait - PP was covering up child abuse? Is that for real because I can't tell if they are comparing abortion to child abuse or if there was something more.

No, it wasn't. But James O'Keefe tried to trap some PP employees with a sting about underage prostitutes. And the Attorney General of Kansas was trying to get all the abortion records from PP in the state in order to search for "proof of rape or incest." It was never established but a lot of Right to Life groups spread that information.

I just want to ask her sooooo badly how much she's donated to the Catholic church.

I would call it out. I usually just ignore political stuff I disagree with, but when my hs chem teacher posted something sorta wishywashy on the whole Penn State thing, I went to town (not that this is political, just ...I filter that stuff.)

I'm kinda crankily pleased that my comments got so much support from other posters who I don't even know.

Loki and the 'kin are playing. By playing I mean: racing around the house after each other, pretty much in turn, few hisses, growls or barks. Now Loki is sprawled on his back, merping and meeping at the 'kin, who is under the futon.

Now if I could just convince her that MK is not a threat. And Devi stops stalking. I think I'm going to have to shut Pumpkin in the bedroom while I'm away for TG, which will likely be a setback, but I just don't trust Devi until the 'kin outweighs her. 'Kins fierce, but wee and Devi can be a stone bitch killer.
