After my doctor’s appointment and a pre-op blood draw, I will go home and spend the rest of the week. I won’t need to come here again until next week, when I need to do laundry again. I only have enough gas in the truck for one more trip after today, anyway.

Shawn is due in tomorrow, and that will be good, as it has been a month since he has been in to clean. And what a month it has been.

I suspected that Sparkle had been abused at one time in her life, and yesterday, I was sure of it. If I reach down to touch her, she shies and scoots away. However, if I lie down on the bed with her, I can pet her to my heart’s content.

She is becoming more vocal, as well, and I am so happy she is adjusting. It will still be a while before she completely trusts me, but we will take it slow.

[ArGee]

I know we have other threads for this, but here's my opinion.

[NicknamedBob]

As that wise philosopher, Patrick Swayze, once said:

"I want you to be nice -- until it's time to not be nice."

[Tax-chick]

Sounds like she wants you to be recumbent so that you’re not a threat.

[Monkey Face]

Exactly. And only if she were abused would she be that way. So I will accommodate her. She needs to know she is loved and cared for. Maybe by this time next year, she will have adjusted.

[NicknamedBob]

Trouble rather the tiger in its lair that the ‘Face in its recumbency.

[Tax-chick]

LOL!

Wednesday only liked to go near people if they were on the toilet. Even lying in bed was too threatening most of the time.

[NicknamedBob]

Than.

Mark it down. I made a typo.

[Monkey Face]

That was a rather pithy paraphrase...

[Monkey Face]

Marked. I can recall three “errors” of various types in all the years I’ve been reading what you have written, so you are much better at it than I am. I blame mine on CFIDS. You...well, you HAVE no excuse! LOL!

[NicknamedBob]

I make no excuse, but I do blame my finaglers.

They are the ones who insist on spelling “secretary” as “secretart”.

“Only off by one letter, boss.”

Yeah, right.

[ArGee]

Typsos are our fronds.

They provide pliable deniability.

‘’Pliable deniability”

Thank you ArGee, another weapon of mass confusion loaded to memory. :)

[ArGee]

Why? You planning to run for office as a liberal?

I can not begin to attempt to shine with those stars.

[moose07]

'AAAAAAVVVVE IIITTTTTT!!!!!

[NicknamedBob]

“Brevity is the soul of wit.”

Hmm.

“Short people are funny.”

.

Nope, not seeing it.

[moose07]

That would be an interesting ploy....they would see straight through it.
Pliable denyability will come in handy when playing BS bingo with managment.

Came out at about the same time as "Stand Tall." I'm not sure why.

I think short people have every reason to live.

They're extremely intertaining.

[ArGee]

they would see straight through it.
