And occasionally, you can get something accomplished much faster with a little acidity. Take the twit in my Micro class last night. Brainy white trash, the kind you look at and think "you can earn an A with your brains, you don't need your boobs hanging out to do that" sort of woman. She has been nasty with me before, but last night when she got nasty with me, I got nasty right back; shut her up, at least for the balance of lab. And the silence from that twit's corner was delightful. Sometimes, you see, acidity does indeed work. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I think that would be post-humousity. (Why yes, I do have some English homework due; why do you ask??) Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

And apparently one with not great recall. J/K. ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Why should he make it clicky? It's only been posted as a clicky quite a number of times already, most recently by an hirsute fella going by the name of John or the like. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Dude. I meant "right" as in right v. wrong. 'Course you knew that. You're just being mean now on a birthday thread. Shame on your green shell. Ciels Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Is this the right day? Did I finally get it right, even after wishing you happy birthday early? Happy Birthday, Michael. I know you lurk; and I know you'll see this. So on today of all days, I wish you happy birthday, you old fecker, and hope you have many, many more, all filled with love, laughter, and lenses. I miss ya, love ya, and wish you would post here again. Hugs, love, prayers, and laughter...and a B'day spank for you!

Another trick I've used successfully is to put a line of cinnamon at their entry point. Apparently, the cinnamon screws up their scent receptors, as well as their scent releasers - this makes them pretty confused, and they generally won't cross a thick line of cinnamon. I've done this rather effectively, since I try to stay away from chemicals 'cause of the cats; and I've had others try it and they said it works. Besides, it makes the house smell good. So get some cinnamon; it's far less expensive than an exterminator, and safer than chemicals. And if it doesn't work, you can use the left over cinnamon for cinnamon toast!

I bought a really cool car; it isn't pink, but I drive around grinning and reaching into the sky from the seat during high speed straight aways... I wouldn't laugh at all. I'd say "go get'm! Be happy, life's too short to not drive a great, fun, wild-ass car." Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Long story short. First week in my Honda Accord. Speeding late at night. And by speeding, I mean fast. Nearly 100 on a freeway in Los Angeles. Apparently I passed a cop. Got pulled over. He said "you have any idea how fast you were going?" I said "Yes. How fast do you think I was going" He said "I had to get over 100 to catch up to you. Why were you going so fast??" I said: "I just got this car; I've been driving an old Volvo. BTW, you won't ever have to worry about a high speed chase if it's a '70 Volvo. They don't go over 55." He said "hand over your license and registration." I siad: "here's my license, the registration is still temp and taped onto the window." He walks around, checks the taped temp license. Runs the plate. Runs my license. All is in order. He comes back. He said: "I should write you up for excessive speed, reckless driving, and even have the option of impounding the car." I said: "You could just let me get on home. I won't do it again." He said "Consider yourself sternly warned. Nice car. Drive it safely. And if you need to speed, take it over the hills into the desert. Safer there. You'll only kill yourself. Take care." And off I drove... And yes, I still speed. But now I speed in an S2000, and I do only get way up there when it's a relatively isolated area. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Very impactful ad. Whoever designed it, produced and directed it, has one hell of a career in front of them. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Lessee. Last week it was an exam in Physiology on Tuesday, a timed English essay writing on Wednesday, and an exam in Microbiology on Thursday. This week it's only a quiz or two in Micro. Next week, I have two lab practicum exams on the 29 - in physio in the morning and micro in the evening on the same damned day. Then Easter break. Then the week I come back to school, I've got two exams in physio and micro, and a 10 page research paper for English on the 15th of April. So yeah, I know where you're coming from. I've had my nose in a book for three weeks, and expect to be nose-in-book for at least that long before there isn't anything pressing or looming. Of course, I've probably missed a scheduled exam, so things might change for the worse. Unlike Lisa, I'm not smart. That's why I have to study as hard as I can.

Best of luck to the most amazing Mommy around. Jaye, he's gorgeous. I'm wondering if the boys know what a bear is, and that scares Joey a little bit...maybe a name change might be in order? Mike Forsythe (the poster here) does dog training for Search and Rescue. He might have some information or some help or a contact in your area to help with both the obedience as well as the service aspect. Good luck - and well done!! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I took your help, Lisa, and can say I'm glad I did. He was fast, efficient, on time, and very nice. Made sure the cats didn't get out, and just a charming guy. Is police bonded, state licensed and bonded, and gave me extra keys. Was reasonable, as well, in terms of price. I will use him again, and will keep his card to recommend him to whomever in the area needs a good, honest, reliable locksmith. Thanks, girl. I really appreciate the help. And I can now breathe a sigh of relief. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Ah man, that's some open road, top down, driving as fast as you dare sort of music...thanks for the link. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Good morning, all... Yes, the sun is up. It's overcast here, but I know the sun is there behind the clouds...kinda like how my mood is right now. No real hangover - a little bit of a headache, but nothing a cup of coffee, some water, and a regular aspirin won't handle. The vit c and b, and the water, seems to have headed off what could've been something pretty painful. I'm far less distraught than I was last night. Nothing changed, except the opportunity for a solid sleep and a bit of a pity party. Whatever happens now happens. I can't change anything about anyone else, I can only change or modify how I react/feel to any given situation. That doesn't mean I don't wish the situation were different; just that sometimes, you need to let go and get back to your own life, and make that work despite the hurt, anger, and pain. Part of that modification is knowing that there are people here who care about me. Strange as that seems, it is something that is important sometimes - to know that I have value to others, and that people honestly do care what I'm feeling and how I'm doing. So to all of those who've taken some time and posted here, or sent me a pm, know that you've made a difference in my mood. And I appreciate it greatly. Lis, you're right - I have a ton of english to get done today; I have two lab exams coming, so I can definitely get some study time in now to start getting ready. And I'm going to lunch with Dad; that always makes me feel better, and more secure. And my brother and his family are coming in next week; how glorious will that be? If I can get all the studying done this week that I plan on, I can take two days and spend it with them...and that always makes me happy. So there are good things on the horizon...and with friends like you all, posting and pming from all over the world, reminding me that I am not just tossaway trash...well, see, that helps. Thank you. Thank you for joining me in my hurt and upset and reaching out and reminding me that I have value to people (some who I have never met!!!), reminding me that I can get through this; reminding me that there is a horizon to see and focus on. And of course, for everyone sending feline hugs and scritches, I appreciate it greatly.

You're welcome here anytime, Mike, you know that. And boy, is this ice cream yummy. I'll get you your own carton, and we can have an ice cream fest while watching Garth Brooks singing "The Dance" (damn you, 'Twardo, that made me cry...). Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Just so you all know...I've broken out the Starbucks Java Chip ice cream. time for the big guns, you know? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Me too. They snuggle, cuddle, and love on me...and as long as dinner is there, there's nothing wrong in their world and they think I'm neat. I love my felines...and they love me. People can do that to each other - the turning on each other and do grand damage. It's amazing how horrible some people can be. And it's hard to not let it jade you, callous you. Me? I'm jade green and calloused. Sigh. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Yes, I cared. And care. And sometimes, that's my downfall. Caring too much. But I'll always care about people who love feline fuzzbutts...and do whatever I can to get them through rough spots. You're cool for having a cat like Nitro, and for not giving up on her and taking advice from a stranger and doing all the things I suggested. That's what's cool. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

That I needed to hear again, Shell. Thank you. It's just overwhelming at the moment. Know what I mean?? You're cool. Thanks for making sure I know how you - and others (thank you ALL!!) feel. It helps. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Jack, it's not a permanent thing. I'm being self indulgent right now. I know this, and for a few hours, what's the hurt? Hug Helen and Lynn for me, all right? Yes, Dr. I shall take some extra. And some Bs, too, to help the stuff clear my liver. 'Twill be good. See, everyone? I do this so rarely, I need advice on how to avoid a hangover! LOL!! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

He only knows me from my posts (and PMs, too). I'm not amazing. I'm not tough. I'm just me, and very sad and a little drunk right now. I'm so upset that my metabolism is burning the alcohol up, as it's three drinks in and I'm still sober enough to type well. Which sucks... Boz, you're right. Drinking a depressant on top of being depressed is not a smart combination. I'll take your hugs anyway, even if I'm stupid. It just sucks in my world right now, you know? Yes, the sun will shine tomorrow. Can't stop that no matter how I try. But it hurts now, and at the moment morning (literally or figuratively) seems far, far away. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Not me. Tough girls don't cry like babies when life does a 180. I am. Sigh. Plowdirt, congratulations on your sobriety. Well done! Jim, I'm not going to barf on the cats. If I get sick, I know where the potty is. And if I do it in bed and asperate on it, well, at least I didn't get any on them! (Don't worry, I'm not the barfing kind...). Midori and 7-up, and Stoli Berry in juice. Yummmmmmy!!! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Love you, Jessicakes. Can I get a "Fuck yeah!!!" Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Yep, you're right, it's not a permanent answer. I rarely drink, and even more infrequently tie one on...so this isn't going to become anything permanent. Just a temporary reprieve from the screaming in my head...and I do know it's temporary. Thanks for the reminder. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
