I was getting desperate
Last night I was out and about hitting the bookstores and since I was
close to a Petsmart I figured it was a good chance to refill the cat's larder which was getting low. I looked all over for the Science Diet Nature's Best that the cats just love and it was no where to be seen. I was getting more and more concerned as I walked and rewalked the aisles. I could just imagine the reception from the cats if I walked in carrying some other kind of food. The derision, the disapointment, the complaining, the little noses pointed in the air at the substandard food. It was more than I could bear, finally in real desperation I suppressed my gender and actually asked for directions. She had to consult with another worker but they did have some stashed in an area that was not actually in the cats section. Man was I relieved. |

How refreshing to read that real mean really do ask for directions :-) Can you believe my DH will drive 54 miles to the closest retailer here who carries ProPlan. It's all Bootsie will eat. If you open anything else, she sniffs it and runs off like a rabbit. So we go about once a month, and buy in quantity. The checkout-person *always* asks, "How many cats do you HAVE?" Sherry |

Didn't have to, at the bookstore I had bought several graphic novels of the Marvel Ultimate universe (Ultimate X-Men and the Ultimates) and the latest John Ringo Military Sci-fi novel There Will be Dragons.

That will give a chance for all the male neighbors to come around, help, and recharge their male-ness. Oh, and by the way, it's not really necessary for any of you to actually DO anything, or even for anyone to know HOW to do anything under the hood. ;-) -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html |

Testosterone was practically over flowing from the bag. You & Joel & Dave G could probably spend *way* too much time discussing military sci-fi with each other. There's not much military sci-fi available "off the shelf" here in the bookshops of our town, which means the ones Joel can find are immediatley snapped up no matter whether I think our budget can cope with it or not. Sometimes i think Joel would prefer to starve than go without a new Military Sci-Fi book he's seen. Yowie |
