even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Retro-spectacled
Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

Some had never tried before
and the result was amazing.

We did our best to keep them flowing
Late into this night.
If nothing else was accomplished

I may be a thief but I'm not twisted.
I will be on the look out for those weasels, Original Punk J. They won't get my homemade ketchup.

leaves badger territory with pineapples, bananas, peaches and a honeyberry smoothie
DW, do you wear glasses? The glasses are the key to your secret identity, I bet. When you have them on, you're Whoever-Else-You-Are, mild-mannered blogger. But when you take them off, you're BIG D, Defender of Truth, Justice, and the Dickweed Way!
Oh Martha, I'm so sorry. *hugs and kisses* I know you must be heartbroken. If anything happened to either of my guys, I don't know what I'd do.
As for the smoothie: mango and pineapple. Tropical flavors are MY personal favorite, and isn't that what counts? heeheehee JUST KIDDING!
and hello there carrie. :)
i'm sorry to hear they took down the picture i drew, but as i drew it for them and it's theirs, they don't have to keep it up if they don't want to.
they have as much if not more items on their sidebar than mayo does, so maybe they just needed more room! :)
OH NO! People are saying bad things about the porch and psting words from there over here!! Porch, ARE YOU OK?? WILL YOU LIVE??
Toujours, you are too kind.
They replaced it with a picture of themselves. Classy.
The kitchen is being used right now I have to wait on the smoothie.
Its just the snoop trying to start something TJ. Don't take the bait.♥
On a totally unrelated note, I got a really cool cd today of Gothic music by The Midnight Syndicate. We were trolling Halloween stores for Devil props and they were playing it and I thought it was way cool.
MJ, I'm sorry to hear about your kitty. :(
Sorry guys, having a hard time drawing and keeping up.
-A
J, that is funny. Just tonight, I earned a similar title from Amyranth.
I hope this name is easier on the eyes.
It's a joke. I'm changing it now.
I thought it said Wickeded.
-A needs her eyes checked.
J I am I miss him so much. I found him almost a year to the day of my other cat dying.
OH NO! People are saying bad things about the porch and psting words from there over here!! Porch, ARE YOU OK?? WILL YOU LIVE??
I'm sure that they will survive. I just hate that you have to say anything mean to ANYBODY.
Wait, I was skimming, what happened to MJ's kitty?
108 of 161 laps and it's a close race
Who's winning, Ergo?
damn I am off my game tonight I have not been watching the comment count! distracted by the sound of racecars!
Carrie I had a kitty that I found in the bushes out side my house. His mother had abandoned him. I took him in and raised him as my own. But about three or four months ago the disappeared.
Carrie
Mark Skaife car is ahead again but only as a crash bought the safety car out
well the drawing was for Shaunette, and a change is as good as a holiday
I hope nobody here is in Pennsylvania, there was a major chemical leak there.
-A is worried.
"Wickdeed". You mean I have to start calling you WD? Like WD40?
Are you the grease, and if so, who's the squeaky wheel?
*waits for groans*
We won't get into how you'd apply it. Not here. Not now.
What a wicked game you play
Mj I remember him going missing, it's a shame he didn't turn up, hopefully he's happily home somewhere else
have you patted your cats any more carrie?
I liked dickweed
wickweed?
wokka wokka wokka a la Fozzy Bear
MJ, I don't think DW is gone. I hope not anyway.
-A
I liked dickweed too, MJ
it's usually used as a sort of pet name by me and my mates
Aw, I'm sorry MJ, that is sad. And before some anon does it, this is the post I just left at DM
Sorry I missed out on Porchedness tonight, I was watching Leatherheads, which was just sorta meh. And I also want to say that I hope you guys realize that although I talk to people that you guys "supposedly" don't get along with, I don't mean that as a slight. I just want you to know that I AM sincere, I really just want to talk to EVERYBODY. That might make me weird, but it's just how I'm rolling lately. I think a bit of it is Annie inspired, she is the least judgemental chick I know. Just wanted to put that out there.
I hope so as well EP
Ergo, no! But one is totally in love with Ghost, so I'm assuming it's a girl. They stare at each other through the glass for hours on end and do the pawy thing on the glass, kinda sad. :(
Thank you carrie
oh unrequited love at carries house :(
my young cat keeps watching my birds building the nest, fortunately he can't reach
I'll bet that drives him crazy, EP!
Good Evening!! ^_^
Good thing, Ergo. We can finally tell the kitten Georges apart here. Killer George took down a dove yesterday, and Chicken George is Ghost's lady love. (Or at least I'm assuming, heck, my cat could be gay for all I know)
Hallo PH!
Merlot saw another cat in the yard today and went berserk.
-A
Hey PH! Dang, now I want an olive burger.
*pounces*
Hi, PH!! :D
How was your day?
Hey Amy, Carrie and RW! ^_^
My day was decent, thanks Resurrected Wreck! How was yours?
Carrie, you shouldn't have to feel weird about getting along with everybody. I wish more people could do that.If not, at least have respect and don't bash the ones that you do not get along with ♥
Craig Lowndes is ahead
*vrooooooooom*
DW, WD, whoever, I just sent you a response. :)
BUBBLES!!! *hugs and kisses* How are you, honey? Haven't emailed you yet, but I will.
Martha, what did you decide about your smoothie?
And where did TJ go?
hello ph
True, anon, but I do feel like a hypocrite as I have contributed to craptacular shit in the past. I just feel like I need to reiterate my "new leaf" status, as it were.
Pretty good, thank you, PH :)
I slept in til a totally unreasonable hour then spent the rest of my day lounging & shopping - bliss!
And Ergo, what kind of racing?
Hi grasshopper
someone is cooking right now so i can't make one
I don't know who I am anymore either.
Hello Paperheart.
RW, I was still in bed at 10 this morning, so I roger that. :)
in case anyone is wondering what I'm watching
DW you are cracking me with name changey. Pick something totally off the wall next.
carrie,i think we all have said things that we regret.You have admitted it and you have moved on and i only wish everyone could do that. It is not good to hold on to bad feelings ♥
Hi PH!
Dickweed you be whoever you want to be
Finally I figured out,
But it took a long long time
As you wish.
RW, I was still in bed at 10 this morning, so I roger that. :)
Isn't it glorious, Carrie? :)
want a cookie anon?
Cool Ergo! Thanks for the link! I was looking for Formula One earlier on my channels because Miss T told me it was on this weekend, but I couldn't find any.
What kind you got?
You made me spit my drink out, you, you, person you.
Hey BC and DW, and Martha and OPJ!
DW, you are whoever you want to be. You can't let anyone tell you who you can or cannot be. If they aren't happy with who you are, they can suck it. I must say, your name changing is confusing my eyes.
I love formula 1 as well and drag racing, and speed boats, and the red bull air race, anything fast!!
12:19 BIG LOLZ!!!
Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal
I will take two of each please ☺
if you figured out something good, you get them all.
Can I please go back to offending people now?
I have only seen snippets of the red bull air race in commercials, but shit looks wicked cool.
That's a really, really long name, Big D. I'll have to study on what to abbreviate it to. You feeling ok?
Is it a riddle?
One of my cats is on crack he is having a fight with a paper bag. I thing the bag is winning.
hi, sorry i vanished (thanks for asking after me, j. *grin*)
i was in my gmail -- and that's a sticky place for me with dial-up -- and then i had to get more coffee.
dw, you're lucky i hadn't sipped any coffee when i read your latest nom de blog! lol
Mr Plumpers is afraid of paper bags.
oh carrie if it's ever televised give it a watch, I'd love to see it live, they have a round in perth so I want to try and combine a visit to my brother with next years
It is so fast and extreme, they show shots from inside with the pilot too, well worth a look
DW please do!!!!
DW,
*sigh*
You don't have to do anything for anyone. You don't have to change for anyone's liking..
i saved you some
Oh ha, DW, now you're back to being a chick in my mind, and a middle aged one at that, I said that like 10 times last week!
oh my gosh! hi paperheart! i suck at keeping up with things. :/
*hugs!!*
Like I said, it fit me. I need to go get changed.
Like I said I like dickweed.
Yeah Ergo, I'm having a hard time between deciding to harass you or Miss T in the near future. I have a 20th wedding anniversary coming up, and I'm thinking it's going to involve an international flight.
Martha, my guys will fight the plastic grocery bags. They pounce on them, repeatedly, and still never quite catch the, uh, bag-mouse.
Glad to see you haven't been eaten by a BlogMonster, TJ. :)
Ergo, we have a "Get Fuzzy" cartoon strip about drag racing that you'd love. I'll try to remember to send it to you, or ask L to do it.
Omg, you made my mouth water for real .You get two hearts for those. ♥♥
I'm going to make you an "I like Dickweed" button. Please don't ever wear it. ;)
Carrie, you are so far off that I might just be getting close to becoming insulted. ;)
Another for the hell of it. ;)
Hey TJ!
I'm so out of it right now, I can't keep up with who is commenting and who isn't.
Aw, DW, you gotta come up with a symbol, like Prince!
what did you figure out?
Anonymous said...
Finally I figured out,
But it took a long long time
Now there's a turnabout,
Maybe cause I'm trying.
There's been times,
(I'm so confused)
Walked all my roads,
(But they lead to you)
I just can't turn,
And walk away...
-A
Dang! Or are you just trying to throw me off the scent?
A symbol?
~ <- looks like a dickweed to me.
lol
I can smell cookies.
*sniffs*
-A
oh J that would be great
and I am happy L is feeling better too, I meant to say before
Again, with the spitting.
i figured out that what i want isn't cookies.
~
hahahahahahahaha
Carrie! oh you'd be very welcome!
Let me know if you do decide
anon wants your sooooouuuuulllll! Not sugar laden substitutes! (Sorry, couldn't resist)
i have given up trying to keep up. from this point on, i am resigned to posting hopelessly out-of-sequence comments.
you have been forwarned.
caveat bloggers.
:)
what do you want?
what did you figure out?
Toujours,
I cannot keep up as well.
Therefore,
I have spilled my fruit-cup.
TJ, I am always a day late and a dollar short on here, or a Euro, or loony, or whatever.
Again, with the spitting.
that's very funny when you don't really know what's going on. lol
I think I shell turn in now. I am not feeling so great. It was nice talking to all of you again.
Goodnight.
Mmm... fruit cups and cookies!
Am I at my babysitter's house again?
-A
Sweet Dreams Martha!
Don't let the bed-bugs bite.
xoxox
For Toujours:
@a&a@
DW is repeately making me clean my computer screen, Tj, with hisherits funniness.
Goodnight Martha, sleep tight!
-A
Ergo, I'll tell her for you. It's ok you didn't ask earlier. I know you always do. And we both love you for it. :D
I like cookies. Cookies like me, too, maybe just a little too much. *pokes finger in tummy*
Nah, that doesn't look much like a dickweed. Is there a symbol for "OI!"?(punk salute)
Amy,
If you are, can I have a lollipop?
Sorry you're not feeling well, Mj. Doctor laden dreams to you.
i figured out my own heart.
i want you.
Now the cat is fighting with the window.
I'm not sure, J. If there isn't, there should be.
Carrie, what'd you call me? ;)
*realizes she's wearing yellow duckie footie pajamas*
I think.. yes. Yes, PH. You can have a Lollipop.
I have pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red and chocolate.
-A
good night martha, sweet dreams!
carrie, i'd hand you a wet-nap for your computer if i had one.
ear anon! :D
you know, thanks to you, i see faces everywhere on the internet now.
like:
n_R
you anons are cuteness too. When Mayo unveils (hey, I'm being optimistic here) will you guys too?
goodnight MJ sweet dreams
PH!
how are you? and how is you're sis and lovely little niece?
Changed my mind Amyranth,
How about a popsicle? Pink?
^__^
(for some reason PH is still confused?)
Goodnight Martha, see you later.
Bubbles, SAVE THE FRUIT! SAVE THE FRUIT! Peaches can't live out of juice for too long!

*hands paperheart a fresh fruit cup*
:)
I totally called you a hisherit, since, I um, don't know what you are!! No disrespect, I just never know which fucking pronoun to use!! It's frustrating!
Ergo,
My sister and niece are doing pretty good! I've been spending lots of time with my niece lately. She's crawling like a maniac!!
J, I actually laughed out loud when I read that !
Thanks Toujours!! Now I'm thirsty.
This just popped into my head--Rufus Xavier Sasparilla.
Fuck it, I already told most of you anyway.
I am Ear Anon. I exist only for Toujours amusement.
@o/0@
oh cute PH!
can't they move so much faster now!
is she pulling up yet?
my daughter went from pulling up to climbing
not good!
Carrie, when I was a kid, I had these really awesome glasses. Not real glasses, but like, the fake ones that looked like they came straight from the fifties. My split-personality with these glasses on was named Sasparilla. I totally forgot about that until I read your suggestion for DW's identity.
*finds a pink popsicle*
Here you go PH!
Are you all excited for your big storm?
-A
She's pulling up alright! If she's crawling around my feet, she tries to climb up my legs for me to hold her! She likes to try to climb into the laundry basket as well.
Carrie, just use them all interchangeably. It's all good. Uh, Rufus?
PH, you were meant to! :D Glad I can still make you laugh, honey.
There should be OI as a choice for everything, DW. Thursday when I went to the dr's, I told one of the desk-women they should change the country music station they were listening to to punk. She looked at me like I'd grown another head. :P Barbarian.
Big storm?!
What?!! =]
DW your ears are adorable
*involuntary grin*
*hides face*
i've never had anyone exist solely for my amusement.
huh.
this has potential.

Nooo. you're not Canadian.
There's a storm going from Sch'wan over to your neck of the woods. Snow, sleet, rain, hail, cats, dogs. The usual.

Oh ha, PH!! I was referencing an old Schoolhouse Rock Cartoon, which you have probably never seen. They were big in the US in the 70's and early 80's. Little educational snippets in between the Saturday cartoons, which in that time was the ONLY day cartoons were on! I totally learned the preamble to the US Constitution from those cartoons, and could still totally recite it now, but I will spare you guys. But I'm glad it reminded you of your secret identity, Ph!
*pokes Teej a couple of times*
*grins cheesily*

That's how evil I am. The ears hide the horns.
Barette horns or hairband horns? We went with hairband.
Nooo. you're not Canadian.
What? Last time I checked I was from Canada..
See, I'm confusing myself.
Carrie, I'm glad you reminded me too. I just had to run to my sister, and she totally remembered my secret identity! With my glasses on, if you called me Jocelyn, I'd kick you. Seriously. lol. I was a weird kid.
When L was a nanny for an ATL family, they went to the Cayman Islands for a vacation. It was the dad, his two sons, and L. They went snorkeling one day, to three different sites, and at the last site they got to feed stingrays. Apparently they "suck" food out of your fingers, and it feels really odd. The 10 year old boy literally CLIMBED up L and wound up with his legs over her shoulders. (They were in waist-deep water.) He got up that high so no part of his body would touch the water.
O_o
Um, when Annie started preschool, she demanded that people call her Harry Potter, to the extent of all the artwork of hers from that time has "Harry" as the artist. So, not so weird, PH. :)
Haha! That reminds me of the time when I went swimming with my cousin, her boyfriend, and their two kids. My cousin's daughter was scared once we got in the deep end and remembered she couldn't swim, and climbed on top of my shoulders, pushing me underwater. I nearly drowned. I saw the light that day. O.o
That is actually really cute Carrie! Tee hee.
Those are some pretty big ears DW.
Or some pretty small horns.
After this, I must have a rack like an Elk.
-A
oh man, you guys. there was justa coyaote in the field next to the house, it was calling out, and all the neighborhood dogs were barking. i sat at my open window (noting that the screen would not withstand even a tiny push...*eep*) and tried to see it, but no such luck. the moon isn't bright enough yet.
but oh man. listening to it...my heart is still pounding a little.
poor L hahahahaha
What's also kinda funny is I was all oh, man, our daughter wants to be a guy, and it was the other one who ended up being gay, and Annie turned into a pretty pretty Princess type. There's just no figuring out the future. And sorry you got almost drowndeded. I would not be digging on water after that.
"I saw the light that day."
And the light said, "Why the FUCK did she get in the pool if she couldn't swim?!"
And the light looked like Mayo.
Bad DW. Eee-ville. Or should that be "Ear-ville"?
Sorry. Too many bad ones. I should be punished.
But I probably won't be! :D
oooh, Elk, you are making me hongry, with my burny throat and such.
dammit, i hate it when i forget to proofread.
it's "coyote"
TJ we have dingoes that howl like cyotes
they get really close, very eerie
Carrie, I always have had a fear of getting eaten by a shark in all bodies of water bigger than a bathtub. When I was a kid, I thought that if I pulled the plug in the tub, that I'd get sucked into the sewers and get eaten by mutants..
Again, LOL. J, exactly my thinking!
Sorry, I have to be inane for a second.
I couldn't figure out why my sleeve smelled so strong fresh out of the laundry.
I just found the dryer sheet hidden inside of it.
Back to your regularly scheduled, uh, hilarity.
-A can't swim. She lounges and frolics.
O_o.
Eeekkk..
*backs away, giant rack catching on draperies*
-A
Oh ha, Amy, I am queen of the found dryer sheets, they are always up in my sleeves like a little old lady's kleenex.
TJ, do you have panthers up there, too? L's parents' house is in the mountains, and they see quite a few black panthers up there. Also bears.
silly spelling anyway TJ
*wishes she could edit her own comment*
hello Bella
Carrie, I found a pair of underwear in my sweater pocket once.
And they weren't even mine!
Kidding!
-A
Bella was me, Ergo, cuz I'm still reading the most horrible series ever inflicted on unsuspecting emo teenies.
I find dryer sheets in my pant legs frequently. Or my jammies.
The cats think they're toys. Raindrop tries to eat them. Again, the running-head-into-base-of-couch thing probably lent itself to that conclusion.

So, thoughts on declawing? I'm grappling with that decision now. We're definitely having Gho$t neutered, but I'm undecided about the claws.
I'm very extremely, absolutely tired. I must work from 11-6 tomorrow.
It was very fun talking with y'all tonight!!
RAWR!!

J, Merlot likes to lick plastic bags.
This is the same cat that does the stop, drop and roll thing at complete random, and he scratches the walls when he's using the litter box.
-A
oh sorry carrie, I'm distracted
I have found undies in other clothes too, they are like mice, they hide
Is that my new title, Amy? I am totally at a loss with these books, they are so utterly crappy they are good. :) I'm still kinda glad I bought them, just so I can bitch about spending money on them!
Goodnight Bubbles! I'm so glad you were here tonight! *hugs* Have a good day tomorrow. Mail me a hot dog. ;)
No, don't really. Too many problems can arise when you send meat in the mail.
Night PH! It's always fun talking to you too, and if someone wants an olive burger tomorrow, think of me. :) Because I probably want it worse than them.
Goodnight PH!
Carrie... eeh. I know people who have had it done and the cat is fine, and I've met people who've had it done and the cat had a very long recovery time.
I personally think it's unnecessary, because of how the declaw is done. You can also redirect the cat to scratching his claws on appropriate items.
-A
Carrie, I found a pair of underwear in my sweater pocket once.
And they weren't even mine!
I once found a lacy garter in the pocket of a man's suit jacket I was altering.
you certainly can't mistake a coyote for a regular dog, ergo,and i would suspect that is true with dingos as well.
j., i don't know about the panthers. i'm going to have to ask about that! *eep*
carrie, i grew up with declawed cats, but for my own i decided against it. i read up on the practice and decided it was too cruel. i haven't had much trouble with my cat -- you keep them trimmed so the nails don't become tiny little needles, and the important thing is to not roughhouse with your cat by hand. always play with them that way using a to, and then they don't associate your hand with something that can be attacked. it works!
*grins at Carrie* Sure, if you want it to be!
So are you gonna hide those books from the kids? It's an awful way to learn about the reproductive system!
-A
"using a toy", i meant to type.
my cat must lie on something
on a bag
on a fairy skirt
on a piece of paper
and he loves rolling on cement, like really loves it
goodnigyth PH lovely to see you
*hug* sweet dreams

Amy, Rain licks the most bizarre things in the world. Here's a partial list:
photos
book covers
calendar pages
pictures (like the ones that hang on the walls)
L's coffee
my Tab
dining room table
ice
stuffed animals
Pinkle and Logan
my CPAP nosepiece (while I'm using it and it's blowing air out of it)
bathroom cabinet
my glasses
And the list continues...
Dumplin likes to put his face next to something and chew the air next to IT. He usually closes one eye and squints the other while doing so. Beautiful.
J, NICE!
Does Dumplin make that snorky noise where he breathes through his teeth sometimes? Merlot does that when we play.
-A
Yeah, I've been reading around and the it sounds kinda mean, the anti blogs are like think of having your finger cut off at the first knuckle! Ghost honestly hasn't been too bad, if he starts scratching the furniture we clap and he stops. We do play with him with our hands though, and strangely enough he keeps his claws in, he's worse about biting with that. I'm thinking about going the SoftPaws route if it becomes a problem, I really don't want to declaw him.
an extremely belated good night to you paperheart! sweet dreams. :)
Amy, Al has already read them, she's the ho that told me to get them in the first place. In her defense, at the time she had only read the first two.

BAHAHHAHAHAA!
Also found a gun once. But it was just a prop, thankfully.
I love when cats get caught mid lick, and don't realise the end of their tongue is sticking out
carrie, there are lots of routes you can take if you want to avoid declawing. having a scratching surface -- i always have one of those cardboard scratching boards and emmie loves them -- and training are the best way to go, imo.
the softclaws are funny, i think, because you can get them in all those colors! they didn't work for me, just too fiddly to even consider, but i know people who love them.
Carrie, Teej is right. The clipping-bails route is probably the easiest, but spooking him away from furniture works really well too.
-A
Yeah, TJ, the colors are funny, and having a white cat, I can go wild! We will probably try them if scratching becomes a problem, but like I said, he's been pretty good so far. Six has her claws and she's never been a problem. Gizmo is declawed, but we had nothing to do with that, she came with the house. :)
Amy: he does! Usually only when he and Rain are wrestling. I think he actually snorts, though, because he's a snorer. Oh MAN is he a snorer! He wakes himself up a lot, and you can hear him from up to 20 feet away. He's scared me before, with that snoring.
Dumplin's much more vocal than Rain. Rain's kind of squeaky when he meows, it's really cute.
Carrie, I voted NO for declawing. Like you've read, they cut the toe at the first knuckle! YOWZAH! Not fair. The cat doesn't get a choice, he just has to go along with it. Unnecessary pain and cost, and it might take them a long time to recover. We have scratching boards. :)
I don't like declawing, like tail docking, it's taking away a purpose built part of the animal
though i do clip hens wings, but only ones that do fly out, adn they grow back
Yeah, I think I'm convinced now. I will just tell Terry we took a blog vote, and we're not declawing Gho$t. :)
Wing clipping isn't bad compared to a declaw. At least you're not ripping the feathers out of the bird.
Also, RW, how did you return the gun?
-A
me
OH YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*happy dance*
I was just going to type, Ergo? Hee.
so has this evening's contingent of blogbelieve come to an agreement? we vote "nay" to declawing?
can i have a show of hands, please?
Also, RW, how did you return the gun?
I just shoved it back in the pocket when I was done working on the jacket. I did the same thing with the garter.
I ask no questions. Sometimes I think it's better not to know!
Besides Carrie, you don't want to add another $ to his name, do you?
-A
Ghost appreciates the vote, although he probably wishes you voted nay to neutering too, but he's just outta luck.
