  1. Wait, what? I never said to abandon all hope of human interactions, and I never assigned a "level of deepness" to anything. I never even said that not having people over is the only viable outcome. I just said that those two suggestions, as conveyed, are not humane solutions. Yes, there is something wrong with the poor cat; I merely asked whether all ideas (aside from relegating him to a corner or ushering him outside) had been explored. Of course AgentRXS should be able to have her cat and her guests...and a home free of errant pee! I am by no means a fan of pee smells or anything, but I am happy to say that my friends would understand if that's what I were dealing with at home. No charcoals! And good work with the feral! I had one once too (from a hoard house!) and, yikes, she took years to become comfortable, poor thing. Once she did though, she was a dream, if a bit...quirky. (I am not sure why the site is crediting your comment under the O.P.'s name in my original post. That's odd.)
  2. Haha, logically I know I can go to look at them on the website but Diva Me wants to see them while I watch the show! While the pausing issues I have are not Spike's fault, the fact that the show spends more time showing me dumb drama than it does tattoos is.
  3. I am sure you're a good pet owner (and I am sorry to hear about your 16-year-old; I've definitely been there), but I respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree (I'm sorry). Please don't do either of these things, AgentRXS. To put it mildly, these ideas are just not conducive to unstressing a cat, much less fixing a possible health issue; the first suggestion is, IMO, bordering on cruel. Further, outdoor cats live significantly shorter lives on average than indoor ones. Have you tried getting the opinion of another vet? I would. Or even looking for solutions on websites like LittleBigCat (affiliated with a Jackson Galaxy-approved holistic vet, I believe)? There are even online vets that will answer as many questions as you have for a set price. There could be any number of reasons that your cat is behaving this way, from mental to physical (I mean, he can't help what his poop smells like; maybe he's got a sensitive stomach that needs to be addressed), and not one of them will be helped by cramming him into a tiny space or leaving him outside.
  4. Oy, I didn't like this episode too much--too many people and not enough focus on the tattoos. I don't care that a ton of them wouldn't be there too long, I still want to see the work. Even the tattoos they did show flashed by so fast--and, ugh, ever since I upgraded DVRs, my remote's response time is so bad and delayed that it's near impossible to pause on anything!
  5. Between fast-forwarding through the bazillion commercials, I wondered • where was the bus even going? • why was this camp even still open after so many people died in various violent ways in so short a time? • will we ever know why Amy's friend was so over-the-top worried about police breaking up a party? What a convoluted story. It's as if the creators just threw everything at the proverbial wall.
  6. I just wanted you all to know that, out of sheer boredom at work today, I just read all 11 pages even though I have had the same BF for seven years, and didn't much like online dating back when I had a Match account (I'm an "in-person/instant-spark" type; I'd probably try out speed dating if I were single). Anyway, the thread's been enlightening and entertaining; I feel like I just binge-watched a show!
  7. But is it that weird for a mother to not forget all about her son, no matter what he chose? I can't view this as "obsessing," and think it would make far less sense if she never mentioned him again (I still think about my past pets every day and I didn't give birth to them!).
  8. Yup; I try to make a bun with clean, straightened hair and it's a catastrophe.
  9. Of course they can--I don't mean that all kids have no choices. But the specific personal situations illustrated here by fellow commenters, and what you called "not cool," seem to fit into the category of "no choice." And not everyone's experiences match one person's. You're lucky your parents understood vegetarianism when you were a kid. Oy, I'm vegan and my mom still asks if I eat fish and forgets about me at family dinners (I get an iceberg salad in these cases). And I have a grandma who blames my scrawniness on veganism...even though I was this way back when I ate half a pan of her mac & cheese by myself.
  10. But for weddings or stuff like that, I don't go to church at all, so I don't know if this was directed at me. Still though, if I were prone to lying I'd have no more of a problem doing it in a church at a wedding than I would elsewhere. People here, I believe, are recounting stories from childhood, when they had no choice in their religious responsibilities. This imagery is brilliant!
  11. Oooh, I disagree. I think the fact that she lets this go on at all, clenches her fists/makes a face without stopping the kids, and then cleans it up herself says she's pretty chill. Chiller than I am, at least. I remember the scene in The Office when Kevin spilled a huge pot of chili on the carpet and it still makes me tense up today!
  12. I don't wash mine everyday either; I follow and "as needed" system. I'll know by look and by feel if it needs it. And, if you see me with a bun or that poof-knot more than a day or two in a row, it probably needs it and I haven't gotten around to it (sometimes not wanting to blow-dry it keeps me from washing it, haha!). I will say this: man, does it stay up in a bun/knot really well when it's dirty!
  13. It's only "really bad" depending on your belief system or devoutness, I'm guessing. I personally don't follow a religion so lying in a church of whatever denomination is no worse than telling a lie at home, work, store, or restaurant, and I'm not violating a promise or code of any kind.
  14. Be careful about the clay, Brattinella; sometimes it can cause respiratory issues later for some cats. I used to use it too, and I don't think it was an issue for my past feline babies, but after my last one passed away and I adopted two kittens (after I made a big old fuss about never having pets again because it was just too devastating), I went a little "overprotective mom" and decided to do all the "right" (and pricier!) things (who knows--it could be all nonsense, but I never actually had baby cats before and figured why not, now that I can afford it).
  15. You know, you might not be too far off there. Not too long ago, I believe Civics and Acura Integras were pretty high on the stolen list, probably by young Fast & Furious type guys, haha! I think they're easily modified and are known for being well made. Until a year ago, I had a 2000 Integra (the cutest!) and more than once, guys would ask me if I'd consider selling for parts. It was weird--I mean, no! That's what I drive to go to work and do regular-people things!
  16. Haha, I got myself lost and frustrated in Target yesterday because I was thinking of the layout of an entirely different Target.
  17. Yep, that's me in a parking lot. I now always park in an end space--I don't even care how far away it is--so that I at least have that small bit of info. Oh, and the worst thing? Because my BF is a musician, I'm in bars fairly often and not always ones I've been to before. I hate finding the bathroom for the first time because I will inevitably come out and walk the wrong way and, like, all the way around the room before realizing I didn't need to. It makes me self-conscious in a crowd even though who the hell in the place is keeping track of what I'm doing?
  18. I bet I'd suck at it, auntlada. Last night, driving home, I encountered a police roadblock and was forced to reroute. I got all turned around in my own neighborhood of four years. Also, mall bathrooms: damn if I know what direction I came from when I went in. Maybe the game would help me?
  19. YES! It's as random as Shaq's "when I was...younger [coy look at the camera]" in the General insurance commercial! Maybe it's because the Tresemme products are for volume?
  20. Ahahahhaaaaaaa, I do this too! What is my problem? Once, I "watched" a vintage '70s disco maxi dress (oh my god, this thing is awesome, but tough to find an event to wear it to: halter-style top but in a heavy, questionable '70s fabric--for what temperature was this made?!) set out from Texas and proceed to head west and take a cross-country drive before finally arriving to me in NJ! I have no idea what the hell happened there, but I contacted the Etsy seller (just as an FYI, not as a complaint--wasn't her fault), who became as obsessed as I was about where "our" dress would visit next. That thing is better traveled than I am. Yesterday, I realized that I can waste a whole lot of time screwing around on Google Maps' satellite street view! Seriously, I was like a kid with a new PlayStation game, "visiting" my old apartments and "driving" down the streets with the cursor. Ironically, I am also the person who has never once ever explored the games in my phone because I find them boring. Ugh, this reminds me of a huge peeve of mine that rears its ugly head every November: Facebook posts of the "It's not Happy Holidays, it's Merry Christmas!" kind. Oh my god, the rage I feel at the (deliberate?) obtuseness of this attitude! Just take the fucking well-wishing sentiment for what it is, people, and return it and/or say thank you, and go about your damn day. No one is hurting you by saying "happy holidays," which, for the record, does not equal "fuck Christmas" and is not some liberal agenda. And not that this is important, but I'm not even an atheist; I'd categorize myself as agnostic, so my ire doesn't not even stem from "bible thumping"--it's more at the narrow-mindedness and people's refusal to understand the simple semantics of "happy holidays"...which is not only a way to avoid saying the "wrong" thing but also covers from Thanksgiving right through the New Year, no matter what you celebrate! Efficient, and even more generous with the well-wishes!
  21. I use two at a time (shhhhh, I know I am horrible for this). She probably is? IMO, she's a huge copycat--which is fine, everyone from celebrities to regular people mimic styles they see and like. But I heard her years ago on Howard Stern touting her unique style as if she came up with her Betty Page-ish look. It was super-annoying and she's rubbed me the wrong way ever since! Also (and this is mean of me), she looks pretty in profile but, I'm sorry, head-on...ugh, I do not see the appeal. The kind I use can be safely flushed but the only time I do that is when I am present at the time of the poop crime. At the end of the day (in the literal sense, not the figurative way people use that phrase), I don't flush 24 hours' worth of clumps from two litter boxes. The instructions say it's OK but I feel skeptical.
  22. Just saw Katy Perry in a makeup commercial. She is insufferable.
  23. I hear you. I am the only one in my family who doesn't have blissfully pin-straight hair. It's not curly so much as bent. I get a halo of "cappuccino foam" fuzz at the slightest humidity, and it becomes wider than my shoulders. A ponytail with my natural hair is two loops of the elastic, while my straightened hair takes three (and I can barely get the elastic out when it's in its natural state). I tried super-short cropped hair once and it looked awesome...for two weeks; after that it was poofy and crazy. Once, my hair guy stopped drying my hair for 30 seconds when he took a phone call; he came back and cursed out my vicious cowlicks!
  24. I agree with all of what you guys are saying; I just meant that, personally, I don't mind (even if I recognize that it's odd)--not that nobody should mind. I fully realize that my not minding is just my thing, not everyone's, and that it's perfectly valid to find this stuff inappropriate.
