Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven

Apologising for what?

Kev_Dude, being a member of the Super Secret FA Club means never having to say you're sorry. Accentmonkey will confirm. We all have big metaphorical balls that we swing at each other's heads like a sock with a bar of soap in the toe.

Onimo -- kev has joined a legendary group of internet hardmen that accentmonkey and I (and DV) are members of, and he's intimidated by all the gloriousness radiating off of us.

Oh I am just watching lots of youtube pop videos, this is better than working.

I have eaten SO many birthday M&S mini-bites that I feel sick!! I now don't think I can FACE making cake icing tonight else I will end up eating MORE sugar and possibly die!!

xpost: I thought about joining YOUR GROUP once (I assume it is the same one) but then forgot to write stuff! I saw T0m E's copy once. Heigh ho!

Youtube sounds like fun. Sadly no sound.

Apologising for lack of l33tness in article. That feeling went away with booze though. So much does. Including youth and my girlish figure :(

No more m4nb00bs? :(

(SORRY!!)

Rock "the fucking Daddy" Hardy, yesteryear.

but it was all in french so i can't be sure.

It was Pascal's (I think) famous, "The heart hath reasons that reason knoweth not."

Or: "Merde was I fucked up last night. What was I thinking?"

Proust of course was no comfort at all re. blackouts...

One of those bastards who remembered everything and slagged you off for months. Cnut.

"Here Comes the Fucking Daddy" may be my next zine title.

Sarah, that's the group! We're like the Illuminati or the Gnomes of Zurich -- we might not actually exist.

very mysterious

I want in!

Stop talking about secret groups, you exclusionists.

It is so lovely outside today and those poor, neglected kitties are so sweet.

Wishing I could truly have a sick day instead of work to do.

I hate the last few minutes of work of a friday. They seem to last forever.

My work friend just emailed me for pizza/shopping at lunch and now I am sad that I am at home. :( But sitting outside petting the kitties was nice. Might do it again here soon.

Turning on the TV now. This thread will become nothing but my boring ramblings b/c you've all headed off.

You will be drunk/asleep before my weekend even starts!

I've got another hour to "work". So bored I clicked on a link to a dissensus thread.

I have teh phear of dissensus.

It's grime.

note to self: strikethrough on lower case 'e' doesn't really work.

I admit that I haven't read all the posts because I am v. lazy this morning, but hey y'all.

I may be adopting a 10 year old dog from the pound this weekend, if I can get around the "we need a letter from your landlord" thing because (a) he's a douche, and (b) he's out of the country for 4 months. The dog's name is Lucky, and his family turned him in for "aggression", but everyone at the pound who's seen him says no way, they just wanted to ditch their dog. Even if I can't keep him (not sure about my two dogs), I figure I can find a home for him, or give him to a no-kill shelter. Who's going to adopt a 10 year old pit? Hardly anyone will adopt them around here if they aren't puppies, and an older dog should not have to live his last days in the pound because some dickface decided it was inconvenient to have a dog now. Even if he only lives another 6 months, I want him to know he was loved. I'm a sap. I just hope the people at the pound will understand that I can't get them a letter, and won't let Lucky be put to sleep for lack of one when I'm ready and willing to love him, you know?

Also, after all the accent conversation, I would like please one (1) Irish or Scottish boyfriend kthxbye.

I don't know what kind of shelter they are but the one we adopt from are pretty serious about the letters. Maybe if you explained the situation to them they could hold him? What about a pit foster group? They often save dogs are unadoptable and maybe you could go through them to get him.

Either way it sounds like a great plan. I would never have Foxy if she hadn't of been placed on our doorstep. I know puppies and kittens are waay more likely to find homes than older pets. I always go for the seniors. That's why we got Wheezy. She had been there for months and was really probably only still alive b/c the shelter was remarkably not that full.

She is pretty mean though and I wonder now if that's why she was given up. But we'd never take her back. We got her for life.

I told myself if I finished work I could go to Target. But fuck it, I'm going now. I need to buy a wedding present for tommorow and use a $10 off of $100 coupon. I will have no trouble making up the rest of that $100.

Good thing my comfort shopping only happens at cheap stores.

I have a feeling they're serious, too, but we'll see. It doesn't say it anywhere on their website, and I have to be "interviewed" by them because he's a pit, so maybe that will work once they find out I already have two.

This r him: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/lunacee/Lucky.jpg

Okay he is cuet. Fuck the letter, I'll take him!

I know, isn't he? That doesn't look like a dog full of hate and aggression to me.

It really incenses me when people dump old dogs at the pound.

Aww, poor guy. Yeah I hope it works out. I'm sure he'd love to be loved. :)

Do they know how he'd get along with other dogs though?

They said he seems to be good with other dogs, doesn't show aggression towards them. They're going to do the formal temperament testing once I actually go to see him, but the three people I spoke to seemed to think he'd pass with flying colors, so I guess we'll see.

He's not neutered yet, so if they let me adopt him, they'll neuter him the next day, and then I can pick him up after. (Which sort of sucks because this place is 70 miles away, but whatever, I can afford $37 and a tank of gas to save a life).

this place is 70 miles

!!! That adoption price is cheap though. It's $75 here.

How did you find him?

Poor fellah, finds love then loses the way to express it :(

Yeah, it's $90 at the city pound, but much less at county ones because of the "save a life" program they're running. One pet per household, dogs $37, cats $32.

I found him online - I occasionally look through the pound websites, just because.

Poor fellah, finds love then loses the way to express it :(

Yeah, I know. I feel bad for him, but the pounds won't release an animal unless it's been spayed or neutered. I didn't think about it with Zero because he was only 3 months old, but this guy's had his yambag for 10 years now, he knows what's what!

Good luck Luna.

Esssh SO it's 20 past 5 on a Friday and I COOOOULD draft up the email and final contract and issue to the person for Monday OR I could take work home and do it there over the weekend with pop music to listen to and cakes to eat, yeah, I think imma gonna be doing that because it's ujst not happening here...

Go home and work, def.

yambag

haha, I've never heard this.

not releasing them without being fixed is a good thing. If those morans across the street would have spayed their cats we wouldn't be pouring so much of our money and time into taking care of the cats they abandoned.

My friend Todd came up with it a few years back and it always makes me laugh because it's so crude. This may be the first time I've ever used it myself.

yambag

Yowza! Great word.

Right, have a good weekend everyone. Remember to spay and neuter your friendspets!

Yes, Sarah, you should definitely go home. I'm trying to think of reasons to leave early today myself.

Have a good one, kv!

huh. i've got to work up another 40 minutes on my clock.

and i'm too busy to spend it here. friday sucks.

I have 8 hours to go. Woo. Hoo.

i'm willing to guess my shift started before yours, if this is a contest [-|

I'm going shopping.

Maybe I'll finish my work later when accompanied by some beers.

Well, I'm still working. Also I would still be posting even if I wasn't working.

My adoption policy with animals seems to be all based around the story. So I usually end up with the fag ends of animals that were left out in the cold because they were a bit mental. As a result I have one dog who picked up some kind of parasite or something while living rough and can only eat special expensive food or he'll die, one dog who won't pee or poop while he's on the lead and can't be left in the back garden or he howls the neighbourhood down, one cat who pees on any soft furnishings he encounters (although he's a bit better now) and one beautiful, flaw-free cat (except for the ringworm and weepy eye) who I managed to get in there and adopt before she was old enough to be fucked up by anyone else.

I admire you, Luna, for your policy towards bull breeds. They passed a law here that people who live in public housing can't keep them anymore. It's really obnoxious.

i'm willing to guess my shift started before yours, if this is a contest [-|

haha - nope, it's not!

I didn't want a pit when I went to the pound the first time to get a puppy, but my husband was so sad that this wee little guy's sister was getting adopted and he wasn't that I couldn't say no to the little beggar, and it turned out so well that I got another, and now I'm one of the "deed, not breed" people. It makes me so sad how many pitties are in the pound because people don't understand that not all of them are BAD DOGS.

Could you have resisted this? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/lunacee/babyzero.jpg

No. I certainly could not.

Trish, you shunned me for cat-related illness. It sounds like you have more trouble than me.

I know this is shameless but I'm bored, so screw it:

Me babbling on about a cool exhibition at the SF MOMA

Trish, you shunned me for cat-related illness. It sounds like you have more trouble than me.

No way! Mine are all a bit screwy, but they're happy and good-tempered.

I am sorry I shunned you because of the ringworm. I was shallow. Like that chick in Cyrano de Bergerac.

Um, I dn't mean to suggest that anyone here doesn't have happy, well-adjusted animals. I'm just saying that I know people whose animals are kind of bad-tempered.
