Not all cats will go for this but... have you tried walking her on a leash? Some cats don't mind it and it gets her outdoors time.
If you can keep her until the shelter finds a new home, maybe you can arrange for the shelter to screen applicants for you. That way she won't have to be in a shelter situation where she…

I'm sorry :( I would definitely call the police if he threatened to strangle your dog! f-that. I hope you can enjoy the rest of your night and he knocks it off. At least he doesn't know where you live - that's always a plus. He can only get into your head at this point. Not that that doesn't get scary and do harm, of…

This unfortunately happened to me as well. If he is threatening you, you can call the police - but the most they can do is talk to him and tell him to stop calling and file a temporary restraining order. You can call your cell phone provider and get his number blocked as well. I was lucky enough where once the police…

Right now I'm reading The Pilot's Wife - although I don't know if I'm going to finish it. Then I have Out of Oz, The Art of Fielding, Leaving and a reread of 1Q84 on my pile of books to read. I've read Rattlebones and The Memory Keeper's Daughter so far. I'm also kind of popping into A People's History of the United…

I think I may love you.

Ugh, I've always hated that. When I used to wait tables I would have parents ask me to reprimand their kid in some way and I never knew what to do. Worse were the parents that would let their kids run willy-nilly around the restaurant - even behindd the counter, which is a health hazard. (But that's a story for…

I absolutely love this scene. It never fails to cheer me up, and for that - I thank you.

I don't see it either, Personality wise he seems sweet and down to Earth, but solely based on looks? Not my type. I've never been a fan of muscley "macho" men or the clean cut look.

It depends on who is writing it.

I spent far too long arguing with stupid people reacting to the news that Walmart has refused to sell any of Paula Deen's merchandise. By the end of it I thought my head was going to explode. It hurts me to know that her cookbook and cruise are profiting off her racism.
America - we had one good day and now it's back…

Someone has never taken an Anthropology class.

Ugh, that's so maddening.

That would be adorable.

My family used to foster cats and kittens when I was a teen and I actively participated in the feeding and butt rubbing. The absolute best part about feeding kittens is the ears moving.

So much HAPPY. There's not even words to describe how amazing these decisions are and how excited and happy and relieved I am. It's just a feeling of joy bursting in my chest and coming out my eyeballs.

It's only 11am and I'm afraid something horrible is going to offset this sentiment but: TODAY IS AN AMAZING DAY.

Are there any repercussions for something like that?

One of my "facebook friends" from when I was a teenager has a wonderful blog about getting ready for her marriage/wedding. It is wonderful and amazing and I want to share it, but I know she reads this site and I don't know if it would be weird. Hopefully she will share it herself. She did a lot of DIY stuff and…

This! With legs that long any shorts are going to look extra short on her. They aren't even showing that much - it's just that high waisted shorts always look extra short and she's got long legs. It's not like there is any bum showing.

I think that 99% of the time, having an Affirmative Action argument with someone is a sure sign that that person has no desire to look outside their own little bubble. It's a good indicator that s/he is an entitled ass and not worth your time.
