Exactly. I’m “afraid” to say “that’s against the law,” cause it keeps turning out there’s a new law that allows it.

Even my new lease: there were a couple paragraphs that astonished me – putting burden of paying for many repairs on tenant instead of landlord. I thought, this is ridiculous!
Then I looked up the statute, and damned if the statute hadn’t been changed! Like it didn’t favor landlords over tenants enough, as it was.
(and it seems crazy to me; if I have to pay for repairs to say, the back door, where is my incentive to report that it needs fixing? And why the heck am I renting? Might as well earn equity, too, if I have to pay the plumber and water the yard [!] too!)

Oh, I get it now. I remember Om saying that…I voted; it wouldn’t let me vote twice. Voted for yours the other day, too.

Hey, Ommmmmmmmm! I was surprised when I first started hearing about it, but I guess not so much anymore. Except…no charges filed against him, but his property is confiscated? I thought we revered private property in this country! Don’t get it.
Still hoping he will get it back eventually, that they’re just dragging their feet to inconvenience a “dfh” as long as possible.

What does surprise me is finding that some media outlets are praising the CPD’s “restraint!” That’s pretty amazing.

Hi, ysp! I can’t find OmAli’s Police Cat. Maybe I’m too late for it to be on the first page, but I scrolled far enough to find yours….

I’m at work, so guess I’ll try again later.

Soooo glad to see Tarheel Dem made it home! I guess he didn’t stay around, though. And so glad he wasn’t one kept in jail with charges filed against him.

Memorial Day weekend already…gee. And the weather is finally catching up–nineties and kinda muggy in the mornings now. I’m planning to take off early to go up to NewBraunfels to swim. Their pools open on a reasonable schedule! And the pool we’ere going to is spring-fed….brrrrr.

spew!

Okay. That does it for me. If Ms. Fluke can be generous and reasonable, then so can I.
And, when TBogg says it’s over, it’s over.

But, yeah, I concur with “can we call you Jennifer once in awhile, for old times’ sake?” That part was fun.

O.M.G. y’all! Those Police Cats are hysterical! Sooo glad I came back to see if there was anything new.

ysp, glad I planted the seed, if that’s what triggered those. Really funny.

demi – glad to hear your tooth is fixed and clean, too. Sounds like your mood has improved some, too.

I’m sure this is the last post. See y’all in the morning.

My bad. Trying to be concise ’cause I was typing on the Kindle Fire, which is such a pain. should have started a new paragraph – was referring to SD’s link to Black Agenda Report. (oops, I see SD has already clarified that).
Okay, never mind, except, if you were confused, I can see why, reading my post. I apologize!

Rats…forgot to say how thrilled I am seeing the crowds in the streets in Montreal. If only….well, you know. Love it anyway.

Morning, pups! Spent the am at court. Positivelysocial! People recognizing me. * g* even a compliment on my outfit.
In a Starbucks now…was hungry. (Yes I know) .
BAR links good but sad. Gotta say immigration law often feels Kafkaesque. Sigh.
No big news to report. GLad to see the regulars. Now I ‘d better hie myself to the office.

Have a good day, all.

RevBev – it’s just that she’s still very feral. Very skittish about being picked up or confined behind a closed door. Driving her to the vet would terrify her so much, I hate to do it to her if there’s nothing to be done to help her. Definitely, more comfortable outside where she clearly feels she can escape any danger. Can’t quite explain that she’s safer from the dogs inside…she came in briefly this morning at breakfast, but not long before she was pushing at the door. Hasn’t eaten indoors in weeks…waits to go back outside before eating. apparently afraid I’ll keep the door closed, and trying to avoid that above all.
Sigh.

Nope, can’t imagine I can get her into a carrier, let aone all the way to the vet without one. I wish I could have gotten her to the vet, but no. And now it’s probably too late. Can’t get her to stay inside longer than a few minutes, either. She’s such a sweetie when she lets down her guard, but, there we are. At least it isn’t freezing outside now.

Oh, demi. Maybe ypu’re just feeling anesthesia after effects? Taake tour time, return when you feel able. We’ll miss you.

Hope my animal news didn’t contribute to bringing you down. This is one of the places I come to relieve sadness through sharing. My apologies, if so.

Heartily echo your last comment.

I suppose even if we ever get universal health care for hoomans, it’s too much to ask for extending it to our lovey pets. Sigh.

Yeah, I was wondering whether to make something of that….*g*

Wow,thread chock full of interesting (and dismaying) topics and news.
Crab races! I couldn’t eat them after that,either. Well, there’s no way I could cook anything live, crab, lobsters, nothing.Remember the scenes in “Annie Hall?”

greenwarrior – I’m so sorry to hear the news about your wrist. Hope the alternative treatments help; also sending some healing vibes your way. (I’ll put you on my “healing thoughts” list for the end of yoga class, when we send such thoughts out to the world, and you in particular), well, I guess we know why you feel like your arm is wrapped in cactus. Yuuuk. Feel better soon!

CAHNstance and her baby bunnies! So sweet…but yeah, I bet the little bunnies”have a different point of view.”

Now, when SD comes in at lunch – have bad news, I fear, re “our” Smoodgie cat. Her ear is in terrible shape…in fact, most of the external ear is gone now, and just the other day I realized, petting her head, that she has a lump on her cheek on the same side as the bad ear. It feels hard, and is probably inside her cheek or jaw.
this morning I realized it’s big enough to be visible – that side of her fact is definitely quite a bit bigger than the other. I fear the worst, and she’s been even more skittish with me. I’ve picked her up a couple times, to try to bring her in,and she just won’t have it. Then ducks me for a day or two afterward. I can’t imagine being able to drive her to the vet, not to mention that with my pay cut, plus bar dues etc plus rent incrase plus new pet deposit all due June 1, I can’t possibly pay for surgery, or even x-rays.
What the heck can I do for her? About to be at my wit’s end here.
Oh, and I’m home because of a small repair needed on car’s wheel. Nothing much happening at work today, so I had them just bring me home, where I saw Smoodgie, and she ducked away from me again. I fear she’s really in pain now.

Well, despite my disappointment with this President, I’ll give him points for raising this issue,and using simple understandable words to do it.

Of course, it should have been done long ago, and it needs to be repeated over and over, everywhere, like the R’s do with their propaganda,and that probably won’t happen.
Still, credit where it is due, plus an “about damn time.”

Romney’s business past gives the clearest contrast with the myth of any possible candidate. So let’s get to it, finally.

Oh,thingwarbler, you win the TBogg commenter prize today -made me choke without even my mouth being full. That’s a high bar you have leaped.

Well, if it’s any consolation I learned very little in high school. Totally over my head. I learned much more sitting around the lab with my then-husband’s fellow students and just talking with them. One member of his group, in particular, was a natural teacher, and enjoyed explaining stuff, even to me. They were willing to explain concepts, leaving out all the math, which was what defeated me in high school.
