I've also been in restaurants where friends have found undesirables in their food. One friend found a bit of steel wool. The manager explained how they use steel wool to drain the lettuce. (??) IIRC, that was at Mario's in Westwood, which BK and Jane may remember. It used to be quite a popular restaurant.

Ron, when I was staying with a friend in Florida I was in a somewhat similar situation. His standards of cleanliness were not the same as mine and he didn't want me "helping." I tried to find a compromise between what I would like and what he would accept. He was OK with that.

I suspect your neighbor might be a bit embarrassed, but won't really object. She may even appreciate it.

Time to go. TTFN.

Today I stopped in at the adoptions center. Kim the Mom Cat has been adopted; Meezie (the Siamese) was still there.

They gave me some advice on ways to get Feathers' tummy trouble solved, so he and Shades should be able to go back to adoptions next week.

Ron, did Miss Vee have all her teeth pulled like Joshie did?

I don't know the circumstances, only that she's toothless.

I certainly don't plan on mentioning it. If asked, I'll feign surprise. Perhaps they'll think "they" left it clean after all (although a look around the rest of the place would certainly belie THAT notion).

I'm surprised they let anyone in the house, Ron. I took care of someone's pets once with a house that was like that. It was all I could do to NOT start cleaning.

When I was brought down to get the lay of the land, so to speak (since it had been a couple of years since I'd been in the condo), I was asked to excuse the "clutter." I can deal with clutter. I understand it, especially when two people are merging households.

But it's not clutter that coated the countertops, that besoils the floor, etc., etc. It was the total lack of cleaning up behind oneself that has been going on for a LONG while. Deep soil, as it were. The light switch and socket plates are coated with grime and grease. It's sad. I'll tackle those items next...but I won't clean the walls!

I'm taking me a FOUR-DAY weekend, starting with a day off tomorrow!

I'm also deleting "game" friends (aka folks who play games I play but aren't really "friends") from my FaceBook page. I've terminated all my game playing (yes, Cilla, even FrontierVille which has somehow been morphed into Pioneer Trail). Mafia Wars, FarmVille and FrontierVille are all ZAPPED from my life. I stopped playing a few months back just to see if I would miss any of it. OF course, "friends" who are friends from other associations are not being deleted.

Call me zany, call me misguided, call me a dreamer, but I've really enjoyed NOT playing. And I've been using my time watching more of the movies I wasn't getting watched and listening to music that wasn't getting listened to.

I've diverted my path, yet again, and regained the road I prefer travelling.

That's great, Ron! Now you have time to go outside and play. And take photos and post them here.

It was good, especially the garlic bread. I never knew anyone who found an unwanted surprise, but then we usually got the pizza.

The President has declared a major disaster in the following counties:
Delaware
Ulster
Albany
Dutchess
Essex
Greene
Schenectady
Schoharie
This qualifies residents and businesses in these counties for direct federal assistance with basic necessities, cleanup and rebuilding efforts.

My friend lives in Ulster county.

Vibes she received direct federal assistance!!

I am back from seeing THE HELP with Charlotte. We both liked it enormously. I was quite moved by it and I thought the cast was amazing.

I am cat-sitting for one of my condo neighbors this long Labor Day week (started Tuesday and ends Sunday). Thus far, I've not seen "Miss Vee" (or "Baby Girl") as she is shy and hides under her mistress' bed.

Any suggestions?

Wow, that is a tough one, Ron. I don't think I would risk taking the cat to your place.
