In the not fun department, we lost Sharon McNight - she's not feeling well, has mold in her house that's causing her issues, but I know she's not been happy at rehearsals, mostly to do with the fact that the music the actors have doesn't match the lyrics in the script frequently. Everyone deals with it and we always go with the script, which matches the CD. And her unhappiness brings with it negativity and frankly no one needs that. It's a shame because I was already giving her great comic stuff and she would have been terrific. But she was also worried about learning everything.

I already have an ask out but I don't think she'll say yes. If not, then Doug has two good folks he can ask.

Very fun rehearsal tonight. Got another ten pages done and the hard part of another number.

Nice. Gonna put on the title song now. It’s my late-night jam.

Such are the ways of things in 99-seat membership companies. I can certainly say it didn't make me happy to be put in this position. And if this were a paid production I don't think things would have gone this way, frankly.

It's interesting to be approaching thirty pages and the actual plot has not kicked in.

Ugh. I hate when people can’t just roll with the punches. Sounds like she only had one foot in from the get-go.

I know someone who’d be great but she’s on the wrong coast.

Oh, no. That's too bad, especially about the mold in the house.

Gratuitous Post #250!!

George · « **Reply #251 on:** October 04, 2023, 11:58:16 PM »

So, my sister's boyfriend (named Larry, but not HHW's Larry

), forwarded to me (and others, I'm sure) someone's Facebook post about something that horribly affected their cat.

George · « **Reply #252 on:** October 04, 2023, 11:58:46 PM »

Since I can't link that FB post here, I'm going to post it, a paragraph at a time...it's quite descriptive, but I'm not going to edit it because it probably needs to be known about. $:-\$

I wanted to share the horrors we went through for the past 3 weeks.

George · « **Reply #255 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:01:22 AM »

We first noticed drainage coming out of her right nostril. It was mostly clear in nature and she was sneezing quite a bit. We took her to our vet and they thought she had an upper respiratory infection. We gave her antibiotics and went on our way.

George · « **Reply #256 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:01:37 AM »

One week later, the drainage had increased and turned bloody and her appetite was starting to decrease. We called the vet again and they had us come in an pick up another antibiotic/immune boost to add to her food.

George · « **Reply #257 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:01:53 AM »

That Sunday, she stopped eating, stopped drinking, was isolating herself and I noticed she wasn’t going to the bathroom as much.

George · « **Reply #258 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:02:13 AM »

At this point, nothing was helping. She was dying and we knew it. All day Friday I cried and kept thinking about what we had done differently around the house and that’s when it hit me.

George · « **Reply #259 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:02:32 AM »

About a month ago Adam found these really good smelling plug in fragrance wall diffusers. I immediately unplugged them, opened windows and turned on fans. By Friday evening Mit Meow was able to walk to us. Saturday morning she woke me up at 4:45 am meowing and hungry. Her nasal drainage had stopped, she was eating, her balance was improving and she wanted attention.

George · « **Reply #260 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:02:41 AM »

After further investigation we learned that several of these diffusers are toxic to animals and that they have more severe reactions to cats because they are at nose level to them.

George · « **Reply #261 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:03:23 AM »

That was the entire post. There was a picture, but I'm not going to post that because it was quite graphic.

George · « **Reply #262 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:04:38 AM »

There were some comments. One was:

Thanks for posting but What type of plug in was it please?

And the person who posted it wrote:

I did not write the article, so therefore I do not know what kind of plug in, but I would suggest not using any of them.

George · « **Reply #263 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:05:29 AM »

And then another person commented:

Surprised the vet didn’t ask if there were plug in air fresheners… I’ve heard this reaction multiple times and assumed a vet would too…

George · « **Reply #264 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:06:17 AM »

Another comment:

It's not the diffusers it's what you put in them. A lot of essential oils are extremely harmful to cats and dogs.

George · « **Reply #265 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:07:25 AM »

And the last comment that I'll post:

ALL diffusers are toxic to animals and people. The scents are solid particles that stay in your lungs when you exhale. The same for scented cleaning products, detergents, dryer sheets, etc.

George · « **Reply #266 on:** October 05, 2023, 12:07:36 AM »

Very scary!!
