Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a pick-up and an idea, and now it is time for you to post until the picked-up cows come home.

She said "unwanted sexual advances" which isn't necessarily harassment.  I understand what she is saying though I think behavior should be included in this.  I don't believe true harassment, etc matters what you wear.

After Bryan was born I attempted to take up jogging.  I got some cute jogging shorts, which were very short back then, and wore them with a cropped t-shirt.  I had too many men bothering me and returned home.  I asked my neighbor, sexy female neighbor, to go with me thinking only that with another person I would be left alone.  We never went again.

Had we put hats on our heads and worn baggy clothes, maybe we would have been left alone but it really shouldn't have mattered since we were jogging.

Once we moved East I was never bothered running in those clothes.

The babies just got their eyes filled with Erythromycin and a mouthful of Benadryl.  They look shell-shocked as they wander about. Thatch tags along behind Annabelle. I suspect she regards him as her baby and he regards her as his big sister.

How long have they been cuddling like that together, Elmore?

Just since this morning.  She found him earlier sleeping in it and walked away, then she decided to sleep on top of the cover, so when he decided to climb back in, he couldn't get inside it, since the cover was now under his feet.  So he climbed in next to her, and she didn't do anything to stop him.  I kept hoping they would remain like that till DR ChasSmith arrived.  When he rang my bell, I told him to have his camera ready when he walked into the apartment.

He's been jumping into her face to eat from her dish with her whenever I feed them for the past three days, so this bonding has been coming on.

I remembered I had a power strip in the kitchen next to the bathroom door.  I've plugged the bed in there.  It will get down to the 40s tonight and that bed is softer than the bathroom floor.  I'll put Thatch's blanket from his cage into it.
Title: Re: THE PICK-UP REHEARSAL AND THE IDEA
Post by: elmore3003 on November 29, 2017, 04:44:09 PM
So . . . I put the blanket into the bed.  At some point I have to wean Thatch from regarding the cage as a safety zone so we can take it down.
Title: Re: THE PICK-UP REHEARSAL AND THE IDEA
Post by: elmore3003 on November 29, 2017, 04:47:16 PM
As soon as I put the blanket into the bed, Annabelle climbed into it.  She's settled in.  Thatch has been snooping around it, and I think there's room for him as well, but he's batting catnip mice across the floor at the moment.

I had checked her in last night and printed her boarding passes.  While I was at it I upgraded her seating to the "6 inches more space". Seating and got her on aisle.

So . . . I put the blanket into the bed.  At some point I have to wean Thatch from regarding the cage as a safety zone so we can take it down.

I was going to suggest taking his blanket from the cage and that he would follow it.  I see you have done it and it is kind of working :)

I recorded and made a DVD of all the numbers from Broadway musicals that were on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, both NBC and CBS (who only had two).  Anyway, I'm listening to it right now as I'm working and Matt co-hosted it.  It's kind of weird to hear/watch him now, right after it all happened. :-\

Back from a dress rehearsal ..... with no voice.  (Good thing I'M not up there singing, right?) 

I felt it going a little bit this afternoon after talking for a long time in the diner with DR Elmore.  By this evening it was in tatters, and now I can barely get a sound out.  I shall refrain from talking all day tomorrow, or as long as it takes.

Fortunately, that and a lot of nose blowing are my only issues.

Now that I've got a few minutes to sit here and post, I must say what a unique pleasure it was to not only meet Thatch, but to have DR Elmore tell me to get the camera ready, which I did on the elevator (which thankfully took me all the way up to the third floor without a hiccup).  I was holding it up aiming it as I quietly walked in the door.  Just amazing.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

And he is something special, just like Annabelle is.  I knew to expect an orange kitty because of similarity to Sir Rivington.  He's also got a lot of white on his bottom side, and special nose markings.  But seeing him, and his small size, and his movements, just brings out his unique little personality.  These are two very special cats.

Garrison Keillor, too.

I've never said anything, but I've known for some time he wasn't the nicest man on NPR.

Likewise, Charlie Rose. I feel he should have retired many years ago.

I forgot to tell you all about my big windfall. Last week I received a check in the mail, COMPLETELY unexpected. Usually it's some class-action suit and the check is for $1.36. This was a bit different: $53 and change. I'll take it! It might buy a few groceries.

In the past few weeks I've developed a major sweet tooth. I'll indulge a bit now since it's the holidays, but then nada. I shall have to restrain myself.
