I saw a friend from high school today who currently resides in Bath UK, along with her two adorable daughters and husband. We had so much fun, and her daughters were ridiculously well behaved and wonderful eaters. I'm so glad she called me while she was here.

Harvey update: Chasing the red dot.

Yeah, baby.

And heck yes, I called the vet to give them the news.

sj, sounds like you had a lovely time.

And Sammie is lying on Harvey's heat grate. Harvey is lounging on Daniel.... or was. I just heard him come down stairs. Whoa. He just walked over to her. They touched noses. I suggested they share and they both looked at me. The furnace stopped running and Harvey is now purring in my arms.

I'd apologize for the stream of catness posting, but I'm not really sorry.

Hey, I know that some of us use TENS units, so Living Social has a portable TENS unit for $29.99 down from $299.99. Seems too good to be true, but thought I'd share.

Harvey update: Chasing the red dot.

Heck yeah. He'll catch it too.

I'd apologize for the stream of catness posting, but I'm not really sorry.

Post all the catness you want! #FancyFeastGames

It's wonderful hearing about a cat getting back to form.

What Connie said. It's good to hear that Harvey is doing well.

Yay Harvey! So glad to hear so, WS.

I'm not getting any cats tonight. One of them is very scared and hiding and they can't get her out. Oof.

Can you appeal and say "Spike's Bitches" is about dog breeding?

Laughed and laughed. If it were only the proper spelling of "bitcas".

However, since I'm handling metadata for a large scope of content, I wonder what will happen when the title will be legit for work. Porn studies are academic now, aren't they?

I just turned into the bitchy lady who lives in the road.

I don't who the kids are or if it's the same set of kids but the other night a group of them were running around yelling in the street about this time and I heard a THUNK! When something (or one of them) hit the side of my mobile home. By the time I got outside they were gone.

So a little while ago - more screaming, more yelling, more laughing (which I'm not pissed about), but I'm tired and cranking and don't want to listen to yelling at 9 pm at night. Especially since it sounded like they were right by my front steps. I am totally get off my lawn unless you are invited about pretty much anyone.

I went and looked and yep - there are lots of footprints, over by the poor dead roses I never cut back, going up towards my porch (not my prints), all in the front area. I look up and see kids coming around the corner, they see me and turn around and go in the other direction, except 1 who says "We were just taking a picture. We didn't do anything." Which means, yeah they were the ones up out there.

I hiked up there and told them to stay out of my yard. "We were just using your light to take a picture". I told them someone had either hit the side or thrown something and I thought it had broken the window (an exageration) and I didn't think it was them but I wanted them to stay off my yard. "But we were just taking a picture!" Finally one of them pipes up "that's a GROWN UP you don't argue with grown ups".

It's petty and it doesn't get me any good will and for all I know one of the kids is one who helped me shovel my drive (in which case I'm sorry good kid).

It was an overreaction but if they hadn't acted like guiltly little shits and run away and made me walk up the damn hill and then yell because they wouldn't get any closer. I would have been more polite about it. Also if they hadn't been insistant that it was okay for them to be in my yard/walkway because I had the best porch light.

Things that I wish that I did not know existed -- Calvin & Hobbes slash.
