Just so you know, sblmnldrknss knows that "comic books aren't challenging."

Reading should only ever be at age level or above and though she claims to read EVERYTHING in one comment, she is quick to later inform us that, in fact, she never reads children's fiction for fun because it is beneath her.

Apparently "if you're over, I don't know, 12, reading Harry Potter doesn't 'count' as reading anymore than reading People magazine 'counts' as reading." An interesting judgment from someone who has never read the books at all.

In that same vein, one doesn't have to actually KNOW about something in order to deem it unworthy in her world. she has never seen an episode of the Simpsons, but can claim with all confidence that it is juvenile because it involves animation. Also, all video games are childish.

And yes, this is the same person who would let a teenage daughter die after a botched abortion because abortion is wrong and getting her child medical help would make her morally culpable for the abortion.

Once again, another long time follower, first time poster!

I've tried a few surgeries in my time--namely, cutting a 'hand-me-up' down to my size (my younger brothers are quite bigger than me!), but nothing ever really seemed to work. It was pretty frustrating, as I consider myself quite crafty. Finally, I bought Nicolay's book on the subject matter , and actually, it helped and inspired me quite a bit. I ended up turning a Joe's Crab Shack shirt into a cute little halter...

Zimmers Pets at Zern's Farmers Market in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania, offers the following. What a great idea!

I know this isn't the typical sort of post here, but I need some help if possible.

A few days ago, I found a kitten running around outside. I called to him and he came to me, so I brought him in. He was cold and hungry, and scarfed down food like he'd not eaten for a day.

I have two cats of my own, and know it would be irresponsible to take in a third cat. I don't have the money for a third cat, the vet bills, food, and litter, and I don't have the time to train him. I've contacted the rescue I got one of my cats from to see if they have room, but assuming they don't, I'm looking for other options.

He's a black and white cat about 3-4 months old. Litter trained. A little mouthy and needs to learn not to use his claws while playing. He's people oriented and enjoys being petted and sitting close to someone. I've been calling him Little Foot, but I'm sure there's a better name that would suit him.

I'm in Fort Worth, Texas. If anyone is interested, please send me a message through livejournal.

Sorry for the off-topicness!

$4.99 at my local thrift store - this is a Leica Z2X, a KILLER 35mm point and shoot camera. This is my first Leica, I'm curious to see if the lens (a 35-70 Vario-Elmar) lives up to Leica's reputation.

Hi, thriftwhores!  This post is a follow-up to this post right here in which I posted a few pictures of 1963 high school yearbook I got at an estate sale.  I decided to go back through the whole thing and post some of the highlights.  And so, without further ado...



( John Buttery beckons you in... [image heavy] )

i dislike our neighbors.

theres this old woman who lives 2 houses over on our circle. she has a long haired dachshund who always roams around outside off leash. im a big fan of leash laws. they exist for a reason. but the dog is harmless, friendly and doesnt wander far. in fact, he returns when she calls him.

living with this woman are her 2 full grown sons Jessie and Johnny. Jessie and Johnny are roughly 37 and 48. they recently got a pit bull. a big male with no tail. im not sure what happened to his tail...i think he used to have one. we are assuming the dog belongs to Jessie because hes the one always chasing it. Chico (the pit bull) has had ZERO recall training. he runs all over the place, into the street when there are cars coming, into peoples yards. hes had no training whatsoever and they dont ever leash him. they just fucking chase him around calling his name and of course the dog runs from them every fucking time. and he runs AT people.

we just got back from the vet where Ruby got her final shots (she doesnt have full immunity for another week or so) and i had a hell of a time getting her out of the car/into the house because Chico came running at us at full tilt. i have no idea how Chico reacts to other dogs and i dont know if hes current on shots or if hes EVER had a vaccination at all so i start blocking him from Ruby. some kid comes walking up, calling to Chico, trying to get him away while im still quickly turning and blocking him because he keeps coming at Ruby from all directions. finally im like, "ENOUGH!" i say to my husband, "babe! get the door, ill carry her in myself!" so i pick Ruby up and start walking quickly toward the house while Chico runs full force at me from behind and jumps all over me while Jessie and this kid are yelling, "Chico, no! Chico come here!" while still walking toward him at a leisurely pace. i finally yelled at the dog, "NO!! GET AWAY!!!"

by the time we got to the front door and got Ruby in the house, Jessie was again chasing Chico around, this time with a leash in his hands. i took Ruby out into the back yard to go potty and i can hear Jessie in his yard, yelling at Chico after having caught him and then a repeated very loud "THWACK" sound so i get the feeling he was beating the dog.
shame i cant beat HIM for not getting that dog some training! as a new dog owner is this something im going to be encountering all the time? :(

and just so this isnt all text...

So I see a lot of SPOs.. I work at a doggie daycare and boarding facility so SPO's are rampant. But today just deserved a post.

My boyfriend and I went to our local shelter to adopt a kitten today (yay!) and while we were waiting to talk to the front desk I heard some redneck couple asking if they could "trade in" their dog....

Seriously? The guy behind the desk was equally as shocked as I was and told them that of course, they could not. They could surrender their dog and come back in a couple of weeks and adopt again..

At that point I tuned out so I didn't hear what the issue was but really? Trade in your dog?.... Ugh.

Looking on gumtree, this advert just made me so depressed:

2 Evil Rats Free To Good Home
No jokes here, they bite, dont like to be touched, will chew anything near the cage(i.e Sky cables, yes I found out the hard way!), will eat anything and everything. They dont fight with each other or other rats.
Very low maintance as they do not want for any human interaction. Both female 1 hooded, 1 albino. Ex breeding pair. When adopted they were both carrying, and had good litters. Very good mothers the both of them.
I have cage, toys, bedding, the whole lot free to anyone who wants them. I will even buy you a bag of the food they like to start you off.
May have to resort to paying someone to have them in near future.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that they're "evil" due to being scared and rat-like, the fact that the owner is advising that you ignore them, or the bit where they're recommending breeding from rats they think are evil!

I really shouldn't look, it just makes me guilty that I can't help them, but I can't stay away :(

I've successfully trained three ferrets (one female, and two males) to use a litter box. However, my new baby (2 month old female) is having a really hard time learning. I've tried the 'put the 'accident poops' and/or 'urine covered tissues' in the litter box where they're supposed to go, and it's failed. (This is all it took for my first three). I've made sure the cage is squeaky clean, washed their bedding, and have also tried blocking off the corners either by putting something there, or using the 'corner stoppers' with no luck. I'm currently in the middle of washing their bedding (the forth time in 5 days!!!) and adding yet another litter box. But, if this doesn't work, I don't know what to try next. Help me?
