"Dog or cat?"
Do you ever get the crazy urge to ask someone that when you see their jacket
covered in pet hair? To date I've been smart enough not to ask it. I may think its friendly - they may think I'm being rude by noticing their "dirty" jacket. Susan M Otis and Chester & 300 lint removers, all lost |

Susan M Otis and Chester Oh, cripes, people do that to me all the time. "You must have a cat." I hear it a lot. Also recently when I had claw marks on my neck. Almost always when the bag boy carries my groceries out and sees the paw prints all over the car. I never think them rude at all, I usually just laugh about it. Sherry |

MLB A woman at work takes those plastic FedEx airbill holders and peels the backs off them, sticks her hand in the slot and pats down her slacks and jacket with them... that is the *best* glue!

news:bkEUb.412459$ts4.293724@pd7tw3no Do you ever get the crazy urge to ask someone that when you see their jacket covered in pet hair? That's nothing. My ex-boss once asked me if I was depressed because my arms were covered in what looked like razor marks and he genuinely thought I was self harming because he didn't know me well and had no idea that I worked with feral kittens. On one hand I was pleased that he felt he could check, but it was a bit embarrasing to say the least! Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

On one hand I was pleased that he felt he could check, but it was a bit embarrasing to say the least! Wow, I would be embarrassed about that, too! In fact, in most places I've worked, I don't think a boss would broach a subject as personal as that. Maybe you work in a more humanistic environment? (I work in the computer industry, not known for its encouragement of emotional openness!) I remember there was a woman in my (work) group who had all these scar marks on her hand, and I used to wonder if she had inflicted them on herself. But then I found out she was a total cat slave and that solved the mystery! She and I bonded as cat lovers once we discovered that we shared that passion. Not related to cats, I have this scar on my right-hand wrist that's about 4 inches long and runs lengthwise. Actually, it's two different scars, from two times I accidentally put my hand through windows. The first time was when I was 8 years old, and the second was 10 years later, showing that I hadn't learned much from experience. :) Anyway, I occasionally feel a bit self-concious about this scar because people have commented on it and I think they wonder about it. It does look like the work of someone who was serious about wrist-slashing. But really, I've never attempted suicide in my life! I've been depressed at times, for sure, but have always had a strong survival instinct. Joyce |

Susan M Otis and Chester & 300 lint removers, all lost LOL! after the nth person looked at my dark green wool coat and inquired whether I had a white cat, I bought a new coat. Amazingly, cat fur of any color doesn't show up on black & white tweed. Brenda |

I've been depressed at times, for sure, but have always had a strong survival instinct. I have a clear hairline scar that follows the path of the vein in my right wrist. Exactly where one would slice oneself in a (more likely to be successful) suicide attempt. The *blade* that caused this scar goes by the name of "Dakota" - and he did exactly the same to my friend Elf! There you are sleeping peacefully and suddenly *slice* - a sharp pain and you wake up pouring blood!! -- Jette Goldie Apache and Dakota http://www.jette.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/kitties.html |
