Wolfie, what is with your text? It's so big! It looks like one of those rap-guys girlfriends. It's just so...out there!

maggot · 04-11-2006, 04:46 AM

I upsetted my GF. I'm not quite sure what I did, but she's royally pissed at me.

It actually happened last night.

Morrigan_Dubh · 04-11-2006, 05:01 AM

Wierd that, Maggot. Are you my guy posting in disguise? I'm pretty sure that is what he's thinking now...

So far I've walked to work, freaked my guy out with PMS-tastic e-mails, and just posted on this board while waiting to be given work to do...

Oh, and read a bit of "The Turn of the Screw".

I'm fucking with the 'bookantiqua' font. I want to find a snazzier font, but don't have the time. I keep messing with the size and making it italic or bold trying to find something that pleases me. The original size is too small to read comfortably.

I have to get off my procrastinating ass after this post and do some actual house work. We's having company and prolly gunna grill up some vittles!

Boi Howdy!

It's an option if you use the Post Reply button instead of the Quick one, as far as I know.

Yay for fonts!

maggot · 04-11-2006, 01:08 PM

You womenfolk confuse me.

Sanctus Dei · 04-11-2006, 01:30 PM

What's to be confused about? She would like to use her font, the board apparently doesn't support her choice of font... so she chooses to remain with the current choice.

I get it... and without an intelligent or elevated level of deduction. So again, "What's to be confused about?"

maggot · 04-11-2006, 01:42 PM

You specifically :P

I don't understand why you would care

God, sanctus. Make sure you know that you're flaming somebody about the right thing before you do it.

Wow. Also, I just have to say "womenfolk" and I get Xng reaming me with a rusty spork.

I'd quit if I were you...

Xng made a post.

You responded without an explanation in your choice of words.

One would naturally assume your post was in response to her post. So unless you specify your general statement you may assume said proclamation is game for ample rebuttal. But that being said.... I have yet to strike a match let alone set you a flame, I merely asked you a question pertaining to your supposed response to Xng. Perhaps I pointed out the ludicrous nature of your subject... but by no means was that a flame. So in response, 'make sure you have a valid point before demanding your immunity against an imaginary attack.'

maggot · 04-11-2006, 02:13 PM

Hehe, good point Tenet. I will die.

Let me apologize. Xng, I didn't mean to generalize. I just saw that it was two ladies on the board talking about it(I was skimming) and so I said womenfolk.
And Sanctus... I'm moody recently, sorry about that.

Sanctus Dei · 04-11-2006, 02:48 PM

Apology accepted and appreciated.

Sobeh · 04-11-2006, 05:09 PM

Said hi to Edible as in e_e? How is he? oh! I just read his post in the Help Me Plz thread, nevermind!

Icarian Decoding · 04-11-2006, 05:19 PM

So, if today is "National Hurt Pussy Day".
Is that like "National Amnesty Day", or is that more like "Cry-your-ass-off-because-your-my-bitch Day"?

TwistedKitsune · 04-11-2006, 06:45 PM

I woke up, ate breakfast, took the sheets off my bed, put them in the washer, cleaned my fishtank, put my sheets in the dryer, started reading a new book, put newly cleaned sheets on my bed, took a bubble bath while continuing to read said book, watched Fairly OddParents, ate lunch, watched some more random TV and now I'm here, happily ignoring my younger brother and making the most of my Spring break! Maybe I'll crochet another octopus...

Sanctus Dei · 04-11-2006, 06:50 PM

Wow.. I talked to Korova for two hours and fell a sleep and that's it. But I only had 4 hours of sleep inthe last 48 so I have an excuse.

TwistedKitsune · 04-11-2006, 06:56 PM

you've gotten more sleep than me!! My fish is happy, but confused. Imagine someone scooping you out of your house and putting you in a tiny for an hour, giving it a thorough cleaning, rearranging all your furniture, and then pouring you back inside through the roof and throwing some food on the floor for you. I sometimes wonder about my grumpy little fishy-boy...

How's the kitty training? Did you get to work with them again, yet? THey sound soooo sweet! One of the things I really miss about working with animals is the fact that the love you for everything.

The only reason I quit working with animals is because of the last boss I had. Must've been betrothed to Satan to have such a bad attitude.

One of the things I hated about her was that she acted like she really cared about animals, but kept her own (mostly breeding dogs) in small cages most of the damned time. She never liked the remarks I made about that. Animals were just a way she made money. I hated the fact that she was so two-faced to clients.

GRRRRRR!

Wolfmoon- I'm sure there's a special corner in Hell that awaits your former boss. Our shelter has investigated a number of "backyard breeders" (i.e. puppy mills), and I will never forget (as much as I'd like to) the conditions they endured- all in the name of turning a buck.

Believe me, once you've shaved the filthy, maggot-infested mats off a mama dog who's thrown so many litters that her teats are just about scraping the ground, you'll never think that pet store puppies are adorable again. Because that's mainly where they come from.

The "owners" always protest that, "Hey, I'm running a business here! And I was just about to clean that cage" that the dog can't stand up or turn around in. I mean, we all know that every animal is capable of producing a solid four-inch layer of dried shit in 24 hours. Right?

It's a great day when these bastards are indicted on cruelty charges; greater when they are found guilty, fined, and forbidden to ever again possess animals; greatest when the dog(s) they subjected to abject neglect is adopted into a loving home.

Um, feel free to put this in Rant.

As to the cat training, things are going well. Shaq, Grey, and Midnight, three of my star pupils, have been adopted (Yay! All had been at the shelter for over 3 months), so I'll have a bunch of new cats to work with tomorrow. I clean up after and socialize with the unavailable cats on Mondays and Fridays, so I have a fairly good idea of the cats' temperament before they go on the floor.

Noodles has already offered- with NO enticement- a very charming "sit pretty" (on haunches, paws up). Acorn loves her some food, and will be easily persuaded to do tricks. Sam has personality plus brains: the quintessential smart cat. I have high hopes for him.

Tomorow, I'll start (officially) training them.
I'll let you know what happens.

Sanctus Dei · 04-11-2006, 08:27 PM

Nice. Gnossos, any suggestion on the best way to slim down an over weight cat? My baby is getting older an she's a 14 pound domestic short.. she doesn't seem to eat alot, and I feed her low activity food but I swear she's getting fatter.

Sanctus Dei · 04-11-2006, 08:30 PM

And if I have two cats?

Godslayer Jillian · 04-11-2006, 08:32 PM

Then gimme one

Sanctus Dei · 04-11-2006, 09:41 PM

Alright, I'll give it a shot. Thanks Santarea!

I attended an anti-environmental racism rally in front of the Pacific Gas & Electric power plant in Bayview-Hunter's Point today, despite the rain. Anything that affects Black folks in this town affects me, so I'm down with helping the residents of that neighbourhood do whatever it takes to close down the source of their nightly nosebleeds, asthma & cancer. On top of that, the Black residents of Bayview-Hunter's Point also have to contend with S.F. city government's "community-driven" redevelopment plans that don't include them [building an additional train-line through 3rd Street, plans to destroy the housing projects that have been there for decades & replacing them with new, overly-expensive houses & building another 49ers football team stadium]. I'll help them in that fight as well. This town already has enough fucking Yuppies in it! Besides getting groceries & getting rained on, I also went to see "The Notorious Bettie Page" with my 2 roommates at some theatre in Nob Hill. For free [with a xeroxed pass]. I almost didn't go, but my roommate talked me into it.

Morrigan_Dubh · 04-12-2006, 05:05 AM

Last night I took the train to a coastal town and went for a walk along the promenade. The sky in the east was clear and blue and cradling a bright full moon even though the sun hadn't fully set. As it did, the sky in the west behind the mountains lit up with pyromancy. After my walk I had a drink in a pub tucked away at near a harbour. It was an interesting little place. The booth I concealed myself in was next to an old confession box and had a prop gravestone beside it. After downing a delicious pint of Guinness and packet of salted peanuts, I caught the train home.

Pathogen, are the housing projects government-funded houses that are leased to people under a certain income for lower rent than normal? If so, how can they destroy them and and not replace them with modern versions for those people who need them?
