Still working on it, too, but knowing it's something to work on is huge
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What is "ace" in this context?
I've seen it a couple of times online this week, and then here. I'd never encountered it before.

Asexual.

Thanks. So someone who is say ace and bi may fall in love with either men or woman, sans erotic feelings -- is that correct?

You got it. I've seen it described as asexual and biromantic.

Ha! I bet that's right. But with some kind of American accent.
yes, like Southern where the middle vowel is two syllables "Jay-an"

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Skipped a bit. Cats got vaccinated this morning.
Long story short, it took the vet ten minutes with La Résistance to go from "try bach rescue remedy when you're moving this summer" to "here's an ACP tablet, get a good pair of welding gloves, and best of luck". This time we managed to vaccinate The Problematic Cat in just 40 minutes, using the usual squeeze cage. The bad news is that she definitely remembered it, so my room was not unsimilar to the Guernica painting for a while.
I'm feeling terrible about putting her through this every time.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That reminds me of Puck, which took a large towel, oven mitts, and two people to render claw clipped, with Much Yowling.
Luckily she had next to no persistent memory so after about 15 minutes she had no lingering sentiment, except perhaps to wonder why she wasn't sticking to the carpet as much.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm planning on taking the cats to Otter Lake with me for the summer. That will mean driving straight through because I don't want to have to deal with them and hotels. Still working out the logistics. If they do go with me then I'll take them to the vet up there. Means getting a carrier too, although they do have harnesses and leashes although I never tried to use them. Oh well, I have the rest of the month to figure it out.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Laura, I've found that when traveling with cats, sedatives are your friend. Sedatives for the cats, I mean.
It took three tries to get Bally to the vet for her vaccinations. We finally had to close all the doors and set out a hard sided carrier, then chase her around until she ran into the carrier. She was under anesthesia for the exam and vaccinations themselves. (I must admit, it was extremely cute, the way her tongue stuck out while she was under.)
