Yeah. Talking it out here had helped put it in perspective.

RCC, my reaction to your story was pretty much depicted spot-on in the gif's saria posted. ICK and what the hell.

I hope he doesn't use the cat as a reason to bother you. Once he sees Mr. RCC I bet it would make him want to crawl under the rock he slithered out of. Cheat on his wife...what a pickup line. Azzhat.

When my dog ran away (under someone elses care, long story) I went door to freaking door in our huge neighborhood asking if anyone had seen her. They don't deserve to have him back and he very obviously didn't want to be there. I'll keep my fingers, eyes, and toes crossed they just let it drop and you don't have to deal with them.

I do not like being called a hipster. Yes, I do like Apple products, love Converse sneakers, don't place that high a value on money, adore San Franciscan culture, am a liberal and an atheist who also happens to think that vintage clothes are cute. But since when does any of that equals hipster? I don't have a single artistic bone in my body and I didn't even know what the term hipster meant before three years ago.....



I....no.

I hope they let it drop.

Mr. RCC has been filled in, too. Dude tells me how he used to be a boxer, and he looks to be in decent shape, but then goes on to tell me that he had a lung removed. He's smoking while he's telling me this. So odd. I think I could take a dude with one lung, lol. But, Mr. RCC is big enough to look intimidating.

I'd say hipsters only say they don't place a huge value on money.

I was trying to find out about ferries between the islands. There are apparently some, but it is mind-boggling that this sort of information isn't more readily available. I mean, if you can't fly from one island to another, there should really be an easy way to sail!

I never think of hipsters as artsy, trying to be, maybe.

Sadly, no. It was the second time I left a pet in the care of someone else and it ended badly, so when people think I'm being overly paranoid about what to do with Calvin when we can't take him with us they couldn't be more wrong. I'm not paranoid, I'm scared/terrified. You just never know.

When I hear terms like hipster I think, "who told clicks they could leave high school?"

RCC, you should be, and I am sure are, well within your rights legally and otherwise. They did not try, and they do not deserve Buddy. If the wife throws a hissy, or he says anything else, I would contact the animal shelter and let them handle it.

Agreed! But people seem to be going based on what they've read from some stupid Wikipedia article about how hipsters dress and "the scene." I like some of the things people tend to associate with hipsters (and I'm sure tonnes of people do too but that doesn't mean everyone in the world is a hipster). Apparently it's now cool to label EVERYONE a hipster as long as they don't conform to your ideas on how to act in a capitalist culture. I did not just type that.

That's sad. I hope the doggy was just taken in by someone else. I can see why you're scared.

As Buddy's third owner at the least, I wonder what stuff he's seen. He's only 3-5 years old. That's quite a few folks in a short time.

I still chuckle to myself at that video of post bath Calvin rubbing his face on the floor.

I'm sure someone found her and gave her a good home. She had a tag on her collar, but the issue was she pulled out of that collar and took off. She was an adorable miniature pinscher named Greta Garbone, a little spitfire nutjob of a dog!

Speaking of, Calvin is WAY overdue for a bath, he stinks so bad. Phew. That's on the to-do list for today, y'all pray for him.

Buddy is such a sweet fluff ball, he just has to be in his forever home with you.

It would be, as long as I don't fall victim to auto correct again. Clique, damn you! Lol

This is the longest day in the history of long days. One co worker is out, the other has a horrible headache, and I'm not in the mood for my usual Thursday prank. Someone threw away the rubber snake, after I rigged it to swing out when you opened the kitchen cabinet. I can not find the balloons. Blowing them up, and hiding them in the equipment room before I leave is a great prank. Never fails. Late in the night they get hot and start popping, scaring the **** out of the night crew.

Sigh, I'll have to plan something extra evil next month.

NC must be located in the middle of the ocean. I am not posting this at 5:54 pm. I am posting at 12:54 central time. Weird.

IDK who she is, but I'd love to know how she managed to look younger in that 2010 photo than she did 15 years ago.

She was playing a teenager on Buffy in that 1997 picture and recently she was still playing a teenager on Pretty Little Liars, I believe.
She was in Save the Last Dance and a bunch of other shows and movies. Someone was complaining that it was ******** that she was playing as jealous of "basic *****" Julia Stiles.
