Can I name him Ratatouillie?

I'm impressed you can spell it, I can't!


No, this is not a back-handed compliment!

[Disneyphile]

Ken's the official gross picker-upper in our home. He pretty much has no choice. ;)

When the rats die in our celieng, we recruit whatever person of the male species is nearby to take out.

well, male species over 30.

[Not Afraid]

Oh, believe me, if Chris was home, he's be doing the rat-handling. I just couldn't bear to have him and his friends vacation in my backyard any longer.

Did I mention Stoat's back home tonight?

[MouseWife]

I don't think I will be gardening in that area for a while.


Can I name him Ratatouillie?


Well, I think you need to reclaim that area of your garden, then maybe they won't come back?

And, I named a dead rat Ratatouillie!!! It was on this not often used sidewalk, I couldn't remove it, as all I had was me, no bags {no cracks please!}after a few days it was gone but the mark was left!! His shadow? From where his little body was? Really gross it was.

[Not Afraid]

How about Stoat infested with maggots?

[Not Afraid]

He was probably killed by a local outdoor cat. We have all sorts of "wildlife" in our neighborhood.......opossums, racoon, skunks, and, apparently, coyote and roof rats, although we have never had a roof rat problem at our house.

This is a reminder that trash goes out in the morning and I need to clean the Girl's cage.


We took Holly and Sweetness in on Friday. It was hard. Boy was bawling, which made me cry. Holly slept in my arms until I had to hand her off. Next time I am ready for more girls I will be calling the pet store to see if they have any Dumbo's ready to take home. Holly was my first experience with that breed, and hopefully she won't be my last.

Maybe I should revisit my earlier business plan.

[Morrigoon]

The Mouse finally called me on something!

You know those people who man the kiosks to tell you about The Mouse's worst-kept secret? Yeah, it's for that :)

Pay's not great, but it may be enough, after incentives. Interview will be sometime later this week and I'll find out more.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for that other position I applied to last night, but given how slowly the Mouse moves, I doubt it would come to fruition in time to beat this one out. Bird in the hand, and all that...

[Disneyphile]

Maybe I should revisit my earlier business plan.For now, SoCalGayWedding will point to a special page on my site, offering a "courthouse wedding video" for $100 (up to 10 minutes, basic edit, 1 DVD mailed to them 2 weeks from event), with additional DVDs for $25 each. In addition, I'm going to offer a same-sex celebration discount by offering $200 off of any of my packages booked from now through Labor Day. :D

In a couple weeks, it will migrate to its own page, featuring links to gay-friendly vendors, and I will purchase Google Ad Words linking to it, and charge each vendor a monthly fee for their listing. (Friends get a discount, of course.) :D

It's gonna be a late night for me - gotta put up the special page, redirect the domain, and write up a Craigs List ad in the meantime.

The condo I was renting and got booted from in RSM finally sold back in Feburary, for quite a bit less then he was asking.

For those who don't remember, I was renting a condo from someone. After a little over 2 months or so the guy told me he was going to list it for sale. First he wanted me to stay, then a few days later decided he wanted me gone. It's been close to 2 years.

My hound ate part of a cheeseburger tonight. I'm hoping it is the start of him getting back to normal. I'm also not sure how much food of any kind to give him after this long without it. I don't want to overload his little tummy but I do want to keep him nourished.

[lashbear]

And, I named a dead rat Ratatouillie!!! It was on this not often used sidewalk, I couldn't remove it.
Reminds me of the "Mousetales" story of the rodent dead on it's back on the wharf in Storybook land and the attraction guides would say "And here's Mr Rat, sunning himself"

No more talk of creepy crawlies. The toad saga of last year continues...

Now, instead of the tiny baby toads covering my yard, I have many larger toads in my yard.

I was talking to my mom when I got home tonight. I was coming back from one of Boy's late baseball games. I noticed that the "leaves" on the front yard were moving. I counted at least 5. As I walked to the front door I screeched and my mom started laughing. She asked if that made 6. grrrr... Toady is the largest and he hangs out on the bricks by the front door. There are at least 3 in the backyard.

The Boy has decided it is time to re-educate me on Home Toad Removal Procedures.

[Morrigoon]

But toads are cool!

[Disneyphile]

I ended up calling the package discount deal, "Celebration Special".

And, I called the $100 civil service package, "Royal Court Package".

The domains are being forwarded right now. :D

And, the new changes are done to the events portion of the website. I've got everything done except the "About Us" page, because I'm too tired to write anything semi-professional right now, and I still need to upload more samples. But, it's up at least, and the domain forwarding is processing. I am tired!!!

So, we're living in the French part of Switzerland where truly not a lot of English is spoken. There's a wonderful swimming pool complex that includes a restaurant. We wanted to go swimming the other day, so I called the number on the back of the brochure and asked, in my imperfectly accented French, if they provided towels (serviettes) or if we'd have to bring our own.

The man on the other end sounded astounded and a bit indignant.
"Serviettes? Serviettes?"
I repeated my question.
Fortunately, he figured out what had happened and told me that I had called the restaurant, not the pool.

The punchline is that "serviettes" also means "napkins." So for at least a few seconds, I was the idiot American who called the restaurant to ask if they provided napkins or if we'd have to bring our own.

Reader's Digest, here I come.

Not when they are everywhere. Last year they were so thick on the lawn you couldn't mow the front yard. We had 3-4 make it into the house and more in the garage. Chicken was playing with one in the back yard when she sort of flung it up in the air...have you ever seen a toad fly???

[Not Afraid]

Can you deliver a few toads to my house? I miss having toads in my yard.


SL, how long are you in Switzerland and what brings you to such a lovely place? And, BTW, I have a nice mental picture of you trying to cover yourself up with a napkin.:)

I'm off too the vet to have a consultation with the surgeon about Thurston. I'll find out soon if surgery is going to be a necessary thing for his luxating patella.

So for at least a few seconds, I was the idiot American who called the restaurant to ask if they provided napkins or if we'd have to bring our own.Not as embarrassing as my sister's story. While in London at McDonald's (I will not defend her choice of restaurant beyond saying she was backpacking and looking for cheap food), she asked where the napkins were. She was, of course, pointed to the ladies' loo.

What is a luxating patella anyway?

Hope the boy is okay, I feel like I've missed a conversation (with all the swank trip planning going on around here)

[LashStoat]

Dear Snowflake,

I could be wrong, but many small dog breeds (like poodles, terriers and pugs) suffer from a hereditary condition that causes their little kneecaps to go AWOL. It's quite common, and breeders, try as they might, haven't knailed the kneecap knundrum.

But I'm sure Thurston will be OK, as he is more than well looked after.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

[Snowflake]

Thanks for enlightening me, your stoatness.

Interestingly, I had no idea that "serviettes" also meant towels, I only knew it meant napkins, LOL.

[JWBear]

And "napkin" means something entirely different in Great Britain....

[Not Afraid]

Well, we've decided to just watch T's LP for now and not do surgery. The recovery time is 8 weeks an would be very difficult on both him and us. He's a grade 2 our of 4, so it's still in gray area. He won't grow out of his current condition but it may just stay the same and not get any worse. Let's hope that is the case.

As for band names, Dead Skin Cells is my current choice.

[Morrigoon]

Hurrah for small successes!

Several months ago, I ordered the bridesmaid gown for my friend's wedding. All that was available from the requested company were somewhat form-fitting styles, and the bride had asked us to pick satin fabric. And the company had an upper limit of sizes, so I was stuck ordering the largest one though some of the measurements were too small. I was very concerned it wouldn't fit.

It arrived today. It fits. Well, actually, it doesn't quite fit - it's too big in the areas that would've fit before, just right in the areas that wouldn't have.

[BarTopDancer]

We sometimes have a hard time explaining to customers that we need the actual fonts that you used to create your document. You Times New Roman may not be the same as my Times New Roman.

Also, the following programs are not programs to be used for print production: Word, PowerPoint, Publisher (well, anything from Microsoft). Also, do not use Photoshop for anything to do with type. Yes, I know that you can place type in Photoshop, but it handles it as raster data: not vector. Unless you make your document with a resolution of about 5000 x 5000 (which will make your file HUGE), the type will not look right.

Sorry: been a PITA day :(

:)Werd. His team fell apart around him. They didn't even deserve to win the previous game. Lamar Odom couldn't hang on to a loose ball to save his life and Fisher shot like crap. That continued into this game, but Boston's D was executing perfectly. No chance in hell.

[blueerica]

It seemed most of the playoff games were exciting as well. I really got into it after the Lakers played the Jazz. As for Kobe, there's no doubt he's an amazing athlete and genius with the ball. That said, I can't stand how self-absorbed he comes off as. I went to a playoff game here in SLC and while everyone else was saying hello, patting each other on the back, talking with their teammates and the other team, Kobe was in front of the camera, egging it on, as though to imply the entire thing was about him. As much as he seems to do the most work, it seemed he didn't really care about the team as much as he did himself, which may impact the situation over all.

I'm no basketball expert (barely even a fan), but I'm just guessing the above based on what I've seen of human nature.

And well, I am, but I defended myself with the idea that certain things, such as Star Wars, are (pretty much) universally popular, and have an impact on our culture at large. More on Star Wars later...

So yeah, I'm defending my nerdiness and repeated circumstances point to my nerdy, magnetic north...

It should be fine, from my dental field experience, but don't do it often (according to the aforementioned dental experience and real life experience). Four 200mg ibuprofen dissolves much more quickly than one 800mg pill and can give you an upset stomach. (What it can do over the long haul is another story, for another day) If it were me, I'd take two 200s, then two more a couple of hours later, but that's because I have 'stomach issues'.

[blueerica]

I mentioned my nerdiness earlier... Here's a small bit of backstory:

When I first saw this sign, I said, loudly, "Death Star Valley, FVCK YEAH!"







http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/blueerica/DeethStarr.jpg


Yeah, I read what I want to see...

Then again, I'm sure some of you would have thought the same thing... from the same far-away distance I saw the sign at.

[Gemini Cricket]

I would agree with you but then my geek would be showing.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Hell, I'm still not convinced it doesn't say that.

[€uroMeinke]

Well, after two weeks of coughing, I decided to go to Urgent Care. Bronchitis. Bleh. Antibiotics. Stayed awake coughing last night... Bleh!
It be expensive to go to Urgent Care without insurance. Ugh!

Tomorrow I get the results of my TB test - if it's positive maybe you can get a test too!

[Kevy Baby]

Mine was the from the unexpected result of off-shoring some of our IT work. Who knew you risked real viruses as well as computer viruses when you worked with foreign nationals?

[mousepod]

Consumption be done about it?

Of cough.

But it will take a very lung time.

[Gemini Cricket]

What a bunch of hacks!

[ozron]

I finally bought a camera. A nice little Olympus with some good features.

Lo and behold, the supporting software won't run on Windows 98! So until I get a new 'puter (hopefully by this fall) I have to take the memory card in and get pictures transferred to disc.

You guys may get tired of zoo and theatre pics.

[wendybeth]

I would, quite seriously, never tire of such pictures. Bring em on!!!!

Buy a USB card reader. They are fairly inexpensive (I picked one up on eBay for $5 a few years ago). Then you can access the disk like an external drive and move your photos over like you would move any other document.

[Capt Jack]

Tomorrow I get the results of my TB test - if it's positive maybe you can get a test too!

I get one every two years like clockwork. required here at work. good news: even if you test positive/have been exposed to it, doesnt mean you have it. just that someone that was near you did.

hmm...which reminds me...Im probably due for another test.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Last time I got a TB test I almost passed out.

Fun times!

[Capt Jack]

Bad news: If you do test positive once it means chest x-rays for the rest of your life.

well...yes. there is that

[Ponine]

How wrong would it be to take, oh, four Motrin at once? I finally had that root canal the other day.

When I had my root canal the dentist told me if it hurt to start with three mortin.

not to bother starting with one or two.
So I wouldnt think four would be too bad.

Just watch your daily count.

[Kevy Baby]

I know that Susan will from time-to-time take the maximum dosage of Advil (ibuprofin) and then two hours later take the maximum dosage of Tylenol (acetaminophen), then alternating this pattern until things subside. This was recommended by a doctor.

[MouseWife]

I just wanted to say

I am very sorry that Susan, 3894, and others, feel so much pain!


{and it reminds me to get my a$$ to the dentist before I feel the need for that myself.....}

[MouseWife]

dah

[Prudence]

For me, all the pain was before the root canal. After an abscessed tooth, the root canal itself doesn't seem so bad.

[Kevy Baby]

I am very sorry that Susan, 3894, and others, feel so much pain!For Susan, it wasn't dental, but endometriosis. She had surgery last July for it, but the cramps are back. Right now they have her in a temporary drug-induced menopause.

[MouseWife]

doh...which is where I am today.....I have the insurance papers on front of me and I need to find out where the heck to go....before that happens....I know if I wait too long, and it becomes infected, the infection eats up the novacaine {whatever they use} and either they need to use a lot of shots or else the max still doesn't cut it...

last time he maxed me out and when he started he realized it wasn't enough and quickly gave me another.

I don't know how I got home that day....really, can't remember if I drove or what.

[3894]

For me, all the pain was before the root canal. After an abscessed tooth, the root canal itself doesn't seem so bad.

This is most certainly true. When you're actually happy to see the endodontist, you know that tooth hurts like h-e-double toothpicks.

I know that Susan will from time-to-time take the maximum dosage of Advil (ibuprofin) and then two hours later take the maximum dosage of Tylenol (acetaminophen), then alternating this pattern until things subside. This was recommended by a doctor.

This is exactly what I've been doing. The Advil/Motrin/Aleve is for the swelling and the Tylenol is to take the edge off the pain. Or something close to that.

[MouseWife]

For Susan, it wasn't dental, but endometriosis. She had surgery last July for it, but the cramps are back. Right now they have her in a temporary drug-induced menopause.

That is a horrible pain, really, when pain takes over your thinking, when you need to take that many pills, it is overwhelming and depressing. At least to me.

We just got our first veggie delivery from Spud.com (http://www.spud.com). OMG, everything is just gorgeous and fresh. I already used one of the red onions in some chicken pasta salad. We also now have broccoli, spinach, green beans, the biggest green onions I've ever seen, tomatoes, and other yummies. :D

If anyone's interested in trying them out, I've got a discount code that offers $25 off, distributed between the first four orders. :)

How far are you from Melbourne?
Flying, walking, Train or driving ?

[lashbear]

If Train (http://www.countrylink.info/book_your_trip)(very scenic): $90.00 and 11 hours.

Or 1 hour by Plane - use Jetstar (http://www.jetstar.com/au/index.html?state=nsw)for cheaper fares

I was just told by the big boss that V Australia (http://www.vaustralia.com.au/)has really cheap fares from the USA to Sydney round-trip..

[Mousey Girl]

I am spending a very unSwank weekend in Ventura. I will be with not only The Old People, but also a bunch of random old people. Oh well, it does get me out of the house. I was so NOT looking forward to the 105+ temps being predicted here this weekend.



The guys chased off the kitties at work. The kitties had been behind/under some equipment in the back of our building. I just saw one of them going up inside the engine compartment of one of the shop trucks. I am so ticked off at the guys right now. They had no real reason for chasing off the kittens, other than they could. Now, as soon as one of them turns on the truck all of the kitties are in jeopardy. If I tell the guys they will do it on purpose. What a bunch of Asshats!!!

[Moonliner]

Good news, Bad news...

The bad: In my old age I seem to have developed motion sickness. The teacups and mission space are very unpleasant.

The good: I rode a segway today. Cool beans! I gotta get me one of them.

[Kevy Baby]

The good: I rode a segway today. Cool beans! I gotta get me one of them.In searching for some info to support/dispute a recent rumor I heard that they are experiencing reliability issues with the Segway, I discovered that one can purchase a Ferrari version of the Segway for about $11,000 (http://www.ferraristore.com/e-shop.des/page,shop.flypage/product_id,13527/category_id,66/):

http://www.ferraristore.com/fotos/zoom/13527_1.jpg

Although it appears that the only thing that makes it a "Ferrari Edition" is that they painted it Ferrari Red and put the Ferrari logo on it.

And when it's 10pm and still 90 degrees out, BB King is just the thing, especially when Della Reese introduces him. Duuuuude.

[Morrigoon]

I was out working the parade route. Hell of a week to finally receive the longer shifts both days, but I need the money (shrug)

I have to show up to ten rentals tomorrow in the 909,, and somehow be done in time for work. Again, long shift, in the sun.

[Not Afraid]

Today was a fantastic day of good food, great companions and wonderful art. We bought few really great pieces that I can't wait to pic up. We also came home to find in the mail a wonderful charcoal drawing of Thurston gifted to me by someone on my pug board. I feel very satisfied, but exhausted from the heat.

[LashStoat]

I have to show up to ten rentals tomorrow in the 909,, and somehow be done in time for work. Again, long shift, in the sun.

Dear Morrigoon,

So let me get this straight:

You are renting yourself out to 10 clients in a 909-model R.V., and have to be done in time for work.

What sort of quality time is that for the punters? I hope you're not expecting repeat business, 'cos with that turnaround, they won't even be able to utter the words "Hey cutie, how's about..."

I suggest you invest in an inflatable love-doll, as she could service the dumber ones and halve your work effort by 50%.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Sorry- I was in dance-recital purgatory. After spending the morning biking around Camarillo and seeing "Kung Fu Panda".

But I don't think I should buy any more for a little while! Reasonably-priced galleries. So tempting.

Here's wishing for cooler weather and good thoughts for those that need them. Okay so the cooler weather won't be happening anytime soon but at least I can hope for a good cool breeze for y'all every now and again so you don't die in your heavy dark clothing.

Yeah MP - can you just post a link to your pics of the day, since I never took my camera out to even take a pic of that fine neon sign.

Oh and yeah, more art was purchased - love affordable art...

Of course, last night the bedroom ceiling fan died which means an unplanned trip to Home Depot and a possible Art diet in our future.

Oh, my. In The Heights (www.intheheightsthemusical.com/) is exactly what I've been waiting for in this ten-year glut of musicals only adapted from films or existing music. It's beautiful! It won the Tony last Sunday.

Also it's created by another member of the Wesleyan Mafia (which also includes the creators of How I Met Your Mother, our very own Significant Chicken Productions and regrettably Michael Bay.)

Heh yesterday I was outside for a graduation at Pepperdine (90+ degrees at the beach, no air, yay!) and then went to a wedding at Disneyland -- the reception was inside so that was nice but the wedding, while totally gorgeous (never saw the horse-drawn carriage before, soooo f'n cool) was in no shade in the heat. In a suit. Ouch. :D

Well, it will be a lovely mid 70s starting tomorrow and through the next week. Not bad! :D

Dear Morrigoon,

So let me get this straight:

You are renting yourself out to 10 clients in a 909-model R.V., and have to be done in time for work.

What sort of quality time is that for the punters? I hope you're not expecting repeat business, 'cos with that turnaround, they won't even be able to utter the words "Hey cutie, how's about..."

I suggest you invest in an inflatable love-doll, as she could service the dumber ones and halve your work effort by 50%.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.Stoat, you crack me up!!!!

I need to win the lottery so I can buy a house with central air and a pool!




... And somewhere other than Southern California!




At least, in the summer.




I'm melting.....

I'm so glad we've got central air and a pool :)

I love the beach.

I love my AC.

The standard line when you move into any place in Dana Point is "Well, there isn't any AC but you won't need it with the wonderful ocean breezes around here."

Yeah, unless you are in a second-story apartment with vaulted ceilings. Then those wonderful ocean breezes are few and far between on a day like this.

We continue to melt as well.
