If he's lost, the local grocery store doesn't have their bulletin board anymore, so I'd have to check the post office. But he could be part of the clowder that belongs to the lady up the street. Either way, I can't get him neutered under the local shelter's stray program because he's too friendly. I'm afraid to end up with a back yard full of kittens like last year. :/

I think orange fluffy cat is preggers. I wish I could catch her and bring her to the local shelter, but I can't afford to. I have the time to do something about the feral cat population, and I have the resources I need. I just don't have the cash. ($35 if she's feral for TNR, $85 if she's friendly)

Wait - they charge you to drop off a stray?
- Katy S
Around here we can just drop them off. If you need a trap, they'll charge a refundable deposit for use of one of theirs, but there isn't a charge for dropping off animals.
- Katy S
Last summer when we brought the kittens in we were supposed to pay for them. I ended up making a $20 donation because they never told me I was supposed to pay and that was all I had.

I wish I trusted buying bras on the interwebs. Cuz these are cute and look super comfy.

I keep looking at these, but I think my boobs are too small for them to fit right. Blah.

HALP! One of my Mission 101 goals has been to write down one positive thing every day. Last year I have it solid until October, this year I have most of January and that's it. I think I need a goal that doesn't require perfection, but still pushes me to see the good. Any ideas?
How about you keep your daily goal but you allow yourself a short list of positive reminders that you can copy in place of your own, say no more than once a week...
- WarLord
I was kind of thinking along the lines of once a week, but beefing up what I write. If I forget for a while then it wont feel like such a chore to go back and fill in. Or maybe a smaller total to have at the end of my Mission 101, I mean 1,001 positive things is a lot.

Has anyone made a vision board before? I'm not so into the "manifesting" part, but a visual reminder of what I want in life seems like something that could work for me. I'm just not sure where to start.
I remember doing books like that in college. Even just collecting the pieces was fun. I would just write down things that I liked, or clip pictures, pieces of fabric. I'd usually start with something central - a picture or article, and then place things around that.

The rabbit thinks Chris and I are long haired hippies. She keeps nibbling our hair. >.>
Yeah, we fell down that hole a few months ago! Great ride, too. :)

My only problem with the first episode is that I kept recognizing stuff from Pinterest. I guess that's what happens when people fall in love with a show that doesn't have many episodes. lol

You know when your parent calls you unusually late at night, talks softly, and pauses often.... so your brain starts trying to figure out which relative could have died? Oh, but then it turns out to be nothing, THAT.
I just got a fricken guilt trip about Mother's Day from my dad when I thought someone died. DAD, STOP SOUNDING LIKE YOU'RE JUST BARELY HOLDING IT TOGETHER!

One walk and 2 hip hop songs a day are going to either kill me or get me in the best shape ever.
A gift, the kind that costs little to nothing and I can mail. I've been home a bunch recently so I'm not planning to go out there for a bit. I was kind of thinking of making her a bath scrub (see old post about oily tub) but I'd want to fancy it up and do something in addition. Also, the Martha Stewart site makes me feel like a scrub. lol

Where you might see a nightmare, Butterscotch sees a feast. Her favorite time of the day is when Chris or I walk into the house with yellow in our hands. - http://media.treehugger.com/assets...
Ok.... Ok...... Ok... Tell me if I have this right, time travel would create the word unpossible because if something was possible then the past changed to make it impossible, it would then become unpossible.
Paradoxes are a staple of Time Travel stories but apparently a Russian physicist has a theory: "Novikov self-consistency principle" asserts that if an event exists that would give rise to a paradox, or to any "change" to the past whatsoever, then the probability of that event is zero. In short, it says that it is impossible to create time paradoxes.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- WarLord
So something like going into the past and killing a person would not be possible?
- Heather
It's way over my head but yeah apparently if it already happened, it can't umm unhappen en if you manipulate time. So if person you target or offspring effect the future then you can't kill them unless the offspring are able to make their own way. It assumes only one timeline and no multeverse though.

Daily Walk #2!! I grudgingly brought it up and Chris dragged me off the couch, that's what I call teamwork. :)
Walk #3 was incorporated with a trip to CVS. It's too far to walk (and not the best walk), so we drove a few streets a way and walked there and back. Even better then parking on the far side of the lot. I'm so happy that it's so easy starting out, I'm hoping we don't run into too many hurdles with keeping it up.
- Heather
Went for a walk finally! It was a short, once-around-the-block kind of walk, but it's fabulous out and maybe this is how daily walks start.
Yay! When my CFS was at its worst I started out with a quarter of a block thanks to some little walkways between houses. YOU DID IT!!!

My mom bought me almost the same chair. It's white and has arms.

I know I'm lucky enough to be physically removed from this weeks and especially today's events. But they've frayed my nerves so badly. I've been a ball of anxiety for a good part of today and now I just want to hug every single person I know.
Called mom just to make sure she's not in Boston. She's not. Work and her event were both shut down. So relieved. Wont mind updates on what's going on with anyone. :)
Chris is taking me out to a surprise location. I have no idea what we're doing, but I'm supposed to dress for indoors. I'll let you know what happened when we get back. :)
- Heather
Don't worry about us just have lots of fun!

IT WAS THE CONTAINER STORE! (If you don't get why this is a big deal, you forget I have OCD.) There's a Ban & Jerry's next door and we got ice cream after. ^_^ (Pics of my present soon.)

The first I heard about Boston was tv coverage on the radio. They didn't say for several minutes what happened, just talked about injury numbers, Mass Gen, and Homeland Security. I don't think I can keep up on what happened until there are more solid reports tonight/tomorrow.
I got called a "fat chick" by the internet. I'm going to go cry in a corner and remember that my place is silent or praising all the "skinny" women who are obviously smarter and prettier than me. #eyerollscanhurt
Hell, you have your revenge simply by being SO AWESOME. Anything after that is just a bonus ;)
- Jennifer Dittrich
I'm not even sure how to parse the "fat chick" insult any longer. Should I appalled at the fat shaming? Or do I tamp down the urge to feel superior to someone who still uses the word "chick"?
- MoTO #TeamMonique
I'd go with both, MoTO (sans the 'tamping down' part.)
- Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Present companies like Tam and other FFriends excepted as appropriate - I have not found skinny women to be particularly much smarter or prettier than those of us with more meat on our bones. For one thing, if they're spending brainpower on being skinny, they're not using it on smart-people things, like having ideas about the world.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
My response (and I did wonder about making a comment about calling me a "chick" which I can't stand): "Great argument Kaitlyn, I'm so glad you added to the conversation in a well thought out and substantive way. You've really made a strong point and given me something to think about. I'd deny your claim, but I don't see a single reason why I should give a flying fuck about what you think of me. You obviously don't care that I think you're a vapid, superficial, infantile waste of space and oxygen."
