    Nite Heidi. I tried to vote for your post on RCP but they wouldn’t register me for some reason. You went over 100 anyway. As they say here in Oz, goodonya!

    Angie, I was only half-kidding. I mean you have to be a kind soul to even argue with tr0lls. 🙂

    During the wee small hours of on Friday night I was deleting some troll’s comments like crazy and Seriously was responding to them faster than I could delete them.

    Finally I gave up.

    Awwww, myiq and angie are back to dating again. Life has now returned to normal.

    Now if I could just get Regency out of bed with the pantsuited beauty.

    But Buddha is, indeed, a good name for that description.

    The best part about baseball is playing it. After my accident, I haven’t been able to run too fast without putting myself in a lot of pain. So I make do with the second best part of baseball: the smell. The patina of grass, hot dogs, humanity, all of it wafting up off of the ground. It really smells like home, and it’s a pleasant change from the city smells (grime, exhaust, hobo urine) that cling to the grey places that encapsulate American humanity as much as baseball does.

    *sighs* That was like 3 weeks ago, myiq! Let it go! LOL

    Why do I get picked on for talking to trolls when there were 37,0000 comments addressed to sharon? I only talk to them if they keep coming back and they’re going to stick around regardless and if nobody else is having conversations at the time.

  31. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 1:56 am said:

    scrubs — I related the story about my cat because Britannia told us about hers in the other thread before we were so rudely interrupted & I wanted to tell you about Buddha. I’ve only had her for about a month now (friend’s child developed allergies and I love her!! Her name was Sasha, but I renamed her — she doesn’t care).

    Hit by a bad pitch huh? So that’s how Barry relieves his frustrations.

  37. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 1:58 am said:

    myiq — exactly — there is a poem that talks about a cats three names — formal, nickname & real name that they don’t share. I can’t remember it now — I’ll google & be back.

  38. kitchen, on October 28, 2008 at 1:59 am said:

    can I ask a favor? can we keep the cat talk down a bit? I got 4 mailers from BO today, so I lined the cage with them, and the parakeets are currently crafting my reply, and the cat talk might sitfle their “creativity”. Thanks!

    Oh, Deej,GP,Bayboo and Digit also thank you.

  39. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 1:59 am said:

    afrocity — I figured Barry hit him the head with a baseball bat for failing to genuflect fast enough.

    Yes, I do lose interest rather quickly… It is a cheap “thrill”

    Addressed to the world in general, some people never recover from encounter Kerouac at a tender age.

  42. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 2:02 am said:

    T.S. Eliot of course (the last two verses):

    But above and beyond
    there’s still one name left over,
    And that is the name that you will never guess;
    The name
    that no human research can discover–
    But The Cat Himself Knows,
    and will never confess.

    When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
    The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
    His mind is engaged in rapt contemplation
    Of the thought, of the thought,
    of the thought of his name:
    His ineffable effable
    Effanineffable
    Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

    Ok kitchen — no more cat talk.

  43. Britannia, on October 28, 2008 at 2:03 am said:

    scrubs, it’s just a stream of consciousness thing. Just ignore me when I do that. In fact, ignore me. It won’t hurt my feelings. 😀

  44. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 2:03 am said:

    The world is chock full of hobos ridin’ the rails

  48. NotGodot, on October 28, 2008 at 2:05 am said:

    The worst part of baseball though is the fans. Fatter than the pricks who turn out for NASCAR, and just as useless. The vicarious experience is popular in the western world, I guess.

    Part of me wants to blow it all up. The TVs, the internet, anything that lets people hide in an experience that isn’t genuine.

    Because really when you get down to it if all you generate is memory, you’re a nonfactor. You haven’t done or said or produced anything of value, or made any difference to anyone other than your cats.

    Since I told you about Buddha (aka “Boo”) I feel remiss if I don’t tell you about Montgomery Clift (“Monty”) my other cat — he is 14 years old, all black with green eyes & just about the prettiest cat you’ve ever seen. Ok, no more.

  73. Seriously, on October 28, 2008 at 2:17 am said:

    I think crying bring forth a shock to the tear ducts that separates you from the teaming mass of humanity. There are 800,000 stories in thr naked city. If we don’t make people cry, what are we doing on this rough violent planet? What exestential scream are we leaving for posterity?

  74. myiq2xu, on October 28, 2008 at 2:18 am said:

    angie just gave us the full monty

  75. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 2:18 am said:

    myiq — my Monty is the king of cats — in this house at least. He (cough) was (cough) a tomcat. I’m not sure what you call him now. when I found him 14 years ago he could fit in the palm of my hand & looked like a little lump of coal. Now he is 17 pounds! (Buddha, btw, who isn’t as long as Monty is 20 lbs) My cat food bill is ridiculous.

  76. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 2:19 am said:

    Seriously — I’ve read T.S. Eliot loved cats that is what lead him to write the poems in the first place — a lot of really outstanding people are/were cat lovers? Ernest Hemingway, Sir Issac Newton, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Sir Walter Scott, Monet, Renoir, the Prophet Mohammed, Dr Albert Schweitzer, Mark Twain & Teddy Roosevelt (to name a few) — I think it is a trait of really, really smart people.

    Enticing thus with baited breath
    Nice mice to an untimely death.

    I love cats, unfortunately my family are dog people. Some of my earliest memories are being wrestled to the ground and literally walked all over by huge dogs. Ow. I would definitely think cats are more condusive to thought and creativity.

    I’ve got two dogs two — but they hardly qualify as dogs — one is a chihuahua & one is a maltese. Yep, that’s 4 animals; 1 person at casa angie.As my brother has told me time & again — I have got to stop “rescuing” these animals.

    Seriously — “dog sized dogs’ — I call them “cat sized dogs” And actually, each one of my cats is bigger then the two dogs put together (one dog is 5 lbs & the other is 6!).

  106. the new dope, on October 28, 2008 at 2:39 am said:

    Seriously,
    I don’t know about that, you’ve never seen my dog get “creative” when trying to find her favorite toy, which she knows by name. Cats are cool and all, but the really cool thing about dogs is their never ending unconditional love they show their owners, my dog is always happy to see me no matter what mood I’m in or how crappy I am towards her, not so sure a cat would treat me the same way. 😉

  107. Seriously, on October 28, 2008 at 2:40 am said:

Couple hours later still not much change so I got one of the momster’s darvocets. Then, after getting ready to read the blogs I took the normal nite time 1/2 xanax and a sleep md. About 5 minutes ago I remembered about the darvocet!

    Happy, happy, j o yzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    My pup is a 100 Lbs + rotty mix. The jehov witless are always happy to go, but he is a real sweety!!!

    Fredster, please, be careful with those meds!

  114. Fredster, on October 28, 2008 at 2:45 am said:

    Oy about the dogs. My poor little doxie has been scratching and itching…they had her on an anti-fungal and anti-biotic but they haven’t helped much so I had to go to the vet today to get Atopica. OY! It’s one pill a day for a month, so 30 pills. They got me 2 boxes of 15 and it was $92 and change! If this doesn’t help, then I’m giving her benadryl daily and it will just be a zonked out little Chloe 😦

  115. Seriously, on October 28, 2008 at 2:45 am said:

    LOL Feel better, Fredster.

    So tell me, jvsp–when you get a new big dog, does it always go through a period of adjustment when it bites and scratches and jumps and charges at you and attacks and stuff? Or can you avoid that somehow?

    So Palin campaigned in pouring rain and didn’t even ask for an umbrella. Gotta love this lady.

    And while Obama and his supporters may have ambitions of carrying Virginia for the Democrats for the first time in more than four decades, on the evidence of the 6,000 or so people who waited for hours and braved a freezing rainstorm to hear Palin speak — one of three campaign stops by the Alaskan governor across the state Monday — Republicans have no intention of surrendering without a fight.

    “Keep Virginia Red,” reads one of dozens of banners capturing the mood of the audience.

    “I love Sarah Palin. She’s just like I am. She’s a straight talker. You may not agree with what she has to say but she’s going to tell you the truth,” says government employee Jeanette Montoya. “I hope she gets in there and takes out the trash.”
    …

    Speaking under ominous skies that quickly spill open into a downpour that leaves her soaked but her folksy enthusiasm undimmed — “By the way, I love this weather because it reminds me of home.” — Palin’s message is blunt, unequivocal and ideally pitched to an audience that requires less convincing on policy issues than reassurance that they are still in the game and in with a shouting chance.

  117. Britannia, on October 28, 2008 at 2:48 am said:

    I think it is a trait of really, really smart people.

    Man, how could I have missed that! Yes, of course it’s true!

  118. Fredster, on October 28, 2008 at 2:48 am said:

    Well jvsp, I had forgotten about it cuz the back eased up!

    Nothing to worry about really, I’ll just sleep! “In the day” I do Placydil with beer chasers! (kinda shrinking down at dumb stunts of youth!)

  119. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 2:49 am said:

    Seriously — no, they all get along — mainly because the cats are gentle & the dogs are smart enough to see that the cats could kick their a$$es! Monty & Pepa (the chihuahua) actually curl up & sleep together — Pepa was a puppy when I brought her home & Monty was 8. I think when one is a “baby” the adult animal is always gentel. Jacquimo (the maltese) whom I’ve had for 2 years was 2 when I got him but he is very, very submissive (he was badly abused & is just happy to have a home) so even though he doesn’t sleep with Monty like Pepa does, he doesn’t bother him either. Buddha is still “new’ here (one month), but she is an extremely affectionate lap cat kind of kitty. She & Monty are already rubbing noses, following each other etc. She & the dogs just kind of ignore each other.

  120. Fredster, on October 28, 2008 at 2:50 am said:

    Okay folks nighty-night!

  121. jvsp, on October 28, 2008 at 2:50 am said:

    Seriously, we are not his original owners. He was abused, but he has come a long way with lots of love and care. He can be a handful 🙂 My previous dog was a terrier, so I have no experience with raising the big ones.

  122. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 2:52 am said:

    night Fredster! be careful

  123. Seriously, on October 28, 2008 at 2:53 am said:

  125. Seriously, on October 28, 2008 at 2:55 am said:

    Yeah….I think it’s probably that my family don’t know what they’re doing, but all our big dogs have been very aggressive. I just dread when they bring home another one because it’s like every day being scared and getting hurt.

    Dog sized dogs! Dog sized dogs! lol

  126. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 2:56 am said:

    jvsp — my mom & dad have an 85 lbs rotty mix named Venus — yes, I rescued her — literally found her in the park when I was running (well, speed walking but that sounds so stupid) — she was starving, abandoned, all torn up. Anyway, I took her to the vet, got her all better etc. She lived with me for 2 months until my condo association started billing me for having her (she was like, 60 lbs over the pet weight limit in the covenants!) I talked my mom & dad into keeping her until I got a place with a yard — that was 3 years ago! Anyway, the adore her & wouldn’t part with her now for anything — she looks so scary & mean but she is the sweetest dog you could ever meet.

  127. Britannia, on October 28, 2008 at 2:58 am said:

    Oh my goodness, your furry friends are so sweet, Angie. I used to have a former feral cat and he was the sweetest. I love dogs of all sizes, too. I love animals.

    Ok, I have to sign off to check what virus my security software has in quarantine. Have sweet dreams everyone.

    BTW, I’m reporting scrubs as AWOL. She’s supposed to be on duty around this time.

  128. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 2:58 am said:

    Seriously — you’ve got to watch the Dog Whisperer & learn how to be “pack leader” — really, that’s a great show.

  129. jvsp, on October 28, 2008 at 2:59 am said:

    What kind of dogs? They need discipline, regularity, and socialization. I would be terrified in your shoes! geeez!

  130. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 2:59 am said:

    night Britannia! I’m an animal lover too, but I honestly prefer cats — deep down I am the crazy cat lady — and if I ever moved out to the country I’d have about 100 cats running around (all spayed & neutered, of course). LOL

  131. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 3:02 am said:

    OMG — I can’t believe it is 3:00 am! I have to be up in 4 hours! Good night all — love you!!

  132. Seriously, on October 28, 2008 at 3:02 am said:

    Night, Brit.

    Yeah, I’m the opposite of the pack leader! LOL The dogs (they’re labs but they weigh more than 150 each) weigh more than I do, so when they charge me, especially outside in the open, they can knock me over and I just don’t know what to do. I’m like “stay back,” but, um, they don’t listen!

  133. Seriously, on October 28, 2008 at 3:03 am said:

    Night angie! Love you too!

  134. jvsp, on October 28, 2008 at 3:03 am said:

    angienc
    Awww, that’s a great story!!! Lucky pup! The big black dogs are the least likely to be adopted 😦 My family was looking to move and one of the houses had our pup. We didn’t buy the house, but we asked for the pup! The home owners were going to drop him off at the humane society. Anyway, he didn’t miss a beat, never missed em!

    “Anyway, the adore her & wouldn’t part with her now for anything — she looks so scary & mean but she is the sweetest dog you could ever meet.”

    Yeah, big babies LOL!

  135. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 3:07 am said:

    jvsp — exactly — the vet I took Venus to was at a no-kill shelter & I told them I would pay for her treatment (and to get her fixed) but I needed someone else to adopt her (because of my condo rules with big animals). I asked the chances of her getting adopted they told me “slim to none” (because she has other stuff besides rotty in her, you can see the rotty). So, I agreed to “foster” her until they found a home for her — the rest, as they say, is history! LOL.
    Anyway, good night for real all.

    Oh God, Palin campaigned in the rain. Please don’t tell me there is a picture of her with her fist pumped into the air and the rain falling behind her – I may have a heart attack on that one (in case you hadn’t heard, that picture of Hill in the rain is my favorite).

  139. myiq2xu, on October 28, 2008 at 5:20 am said:

    Hillbuzz says McPalin WILL win Pennsylvania:

    Tonight we spoke with a friend from Hillary Clinton’s campaign who is now working for McCain/Palin — and is specifically working with Democrats for McCain in Pennsylvania. We worked with her in Texas, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania for Hillary and have spent many LONG hours with her in the trenches in all of those states. She’s smart, doesn’t BS, and never lies.

    She says the same thing we do: John McCain will win Pennsylvania.

    On November 4th, the news networks are going to be spinning and sputtering and playing catchup, but everything we see on the ground in PA is what we saw during the primaries: Obama has no shot of winning the Keystone State.

    Here is specifically what we talked about tonight: never in any of our careers have any of us ever seen members of one party switching sides and voting for the other party as we see in this election with Democrats for McCain.

    afrocity,
    The ‘bots are freaking out because yet another statement from Obama about the need to “redistribute the wealth” has shown up. An interview from 2001 ( I think) that says that he believes the civil rights movement failed because they didn’t figure out a way to take money away from one group and give it to another.

    Fredster,

    If you are still around regarding the Atopica. My dog was also on Atopica. It was costing me $100 a month for the meds and that was in addition to the special dog food and anti fungal shampoo just to prevent break outs. I went to a specialist and she proscribed Cyclosporine which is Atopica. I get it a Walgreens and iit is now costing me only $46 a month. I also had allergy tests done on the dog and once we determine exactly what she is allergic to we can begin allergy shots.

    Good luck!

    fif: I have a trivial comment, and excuse me for being a picky little pedant. An apologist is not one who apologizes, but : “one who speaks or writes in defense of someone or something.:(Merriam -Webster). And that’s what I thought you were doing in your excellent post. You ARE an apologist for Hillary, and that’s a good thing!
