Problems with Board?

[~*mikie*~]

YAY for those of you who won! I flunked miserably, ROFL! No harm done, & it's amazing I even entered! I flunked Blush101,LOL!

Glad your bf wasn't seriously hurt, Samantha. Must have been scary, BB gun or not. Glad a package brightened your day after all.

Rhys, cranky *IS* a good sign! My 2 furfools could NOT be trusted around natural-hair brushes ~ Abie LOVED to steal my Asquirrel kabuki, & since I wash brushes very often it was an ongoing battle. I bought a 4-drawer plastic thing at Lowe's...a small cube w/multicolored drawers for paper clips & whatnot. Instead of "pulls", it has holes to poke your finger in to pull out a drawer. Since I prefer short-handled brushes since I'm blind as a bat, that's where brushes go to dry. Thwarted Abie. Thankfully, since I switched to synthetics, he's not interested in them!

Those panels sound gorgeous! I love stained glass- our new studio space was a stained glass studio and it's one of the things I love about it. I know that some of it will disappear as they clean it out- but I hope a few of the panels stay.

Rhys- did you hide catnip with your makeup stash? My sister used to have a cat that hid pens and lighters under the carpets when she was feeling unloved- that was cute- but chewing brushes- I agree- not cute at all.

Oh Sam- that is a rotten day. Let's hope tomorrow is better. That driveby sounds scary- that was way too much to handle- even if it was a bb gun- those puppies can really sting and leave a welt (aaah siblings)! I grew-up out in the country- so I was pretty used to the sound of gunfire- and when I moved to "the city" I had to learn how to flinch. The sound is the same, but it's a lot scarier when you know they probably aren't aiming for a paper target or a deer.

Have a great Easter!

Hoppy happy Easter to all of you!

Karen, I dearly hope some of the stained glass remains in the studio when it's ready for move-in time. That would/will be *grand* inspiration while playing with colors all day!

Our Willie (girl) is older & doesn't bother anything at all but Abie (boy) whom you see often is a mischief-maker. Before I got addicted to the KisserSlickers, I always just made my own & did them in teeny 3gm pots ~ discovered the hard way that they made excellent little hockey pucks on hardwood, ROFL!

I had to laugh when reading about the lippies jars making great hockey pucks for your furry baby. My most mischievious(sp) cat Smokey thinks that q-tips and even eye shadow jars are play things if left where he can get to them. I guess to an animal (either cat or puppy)the whole workd is a plaything and they plan on taking full advantage of it. Hope everybody had a Happy Easter.

Oooooh, yes, Q-tips are a favorite toy! Have NO clue why my hubby has to wander while drying his ears ~ but I find an abandoned Q-tip regularly, much the worse for having been a temporary plaything! This little guy LOVES them!

The hellbeast...uhhh...chaos agent decided to destroy my laptop keyboard last night and it looks like it can't be fixed. Now I'm REALLY ripped. Hopefully will be able to find another k/b to pop into it. I know I can plug in a regular one, but when a bunch of the keys are missing and you're typing on the springs underneath...aarrgghh...tends to shorten the lifespan of the laptop considerably.

And really, I usually do like animals. Just never seen anything like these two cats. But this is getting beyond ridiculous.

[~*mikie*~]

Oh, dear! I'd be plenty upset, too! I take it these are not your cats? That you are not at home? Not trying to pry, really! But can't the ~ well, now how absurd of me ~ I should be ashamed, hehe...I was going to say it's a shame the owners can't control the cats ~ but there usually is VERY little that can be done to "control" cats. They do not look for approval as dogs do...& your being upset is probably the highlight of their day, sorry to say. BUT I can think of 2 deterrents ~ a spray bottle of water &/or cottonballs with scent on them...cats dislike perfumey scents...so scented cottonballs near anything that's YOURS may deter them. Hope someone jumps in with advice.

Hmmm....interesting, Mikie. They are my hosts' cats. And one of my hosts may be allergic to perfume (but I think maybe just people taking baths in it cos I've worn it here and she didn't even notice). But if the damned cats would....

Thanks!
