Attention S'cubie Posters, we have a blue light special on Part 79 .... Welcome to Part 79 of the Soulful Spike Society. The rules are simple -- post unto others as you would have post unto you, keep anything remotely spoilerish tucked safely away in the designated area, and have fun. If this is your first time visiting us, I invite you to our "other" board, www.soulfulspike.com/, where you can find all our reviews, analyses, fanfic and even profiles. And we invite you to join in the posting fun. As always, the more the merrier. Now, who gets to be The First .....?

No, but I always thought it was funny when one of mine would attack a paper from the inside. Spike recently attacked a plastic bag and got the handles twined about his waist, then ran around the house in a panic, trying to get away from the bag, which seemed to be chasing him. He's now afraid of plastic bags. ;D I laughed really hard. I couldn't help it.

Wow. We have ten members on. I'm not used to this much company this late.
Hi! (waves)

If that white stuff all over my car isn't snow, then my neighbors need to purchase some Selsun Blue. Looks like it's sticking to me.

Julia, in all fairness, she's also efficiently dispatched a mouse, too

As for medicines - I have a cat piller. You wrap all sharp parts of the cat in a towel, then squeeze the jaw hinge, then take the piller (a stick with a plunger and a slot at one end to put the pill in) and stick it back almost to the gag reflex, push the plunger, and then hold the mouth shut 'till the kitty gives up and swallows.
I could have used one of those with my tabby point Siamese. We used to spend summers in Colorado and had to tranquilize her for the drive. She literally cried all the way through Kansas--392 miles--the one time we didn't give her the tranquilizers. I put the pill in tuna one time. The next time I tried that she ate around it. She was too smart to be a cat.

The very first year I lived in Seattle, it snowed before Thanksgiving. I got a rep for having "issues with the weather". Hell, yeah - I was from Sacramento! And then it hardly snowed, ever again. At most, once a year, and usually in February.

We had a tiny bit of snow yesterday. Just enough to leave slush on the cars. I am anti-snow, except for Christmas day. After that, it needs to go away.

I hate moments like this, when the chat is loads of fun, but I really do need to go to bed. Morning comes mighty early in these parts. But I need to feed my addiction, too. It's just not freaking fair.
All right, I give in. G'night all. Have a great chat.

Friend of mine who's a landscaper in DC was THRILLED to see the snow, because it means he's at the end of the season and can spend time cooking and writing. Julia, but he doesn't have to worry about keeping the watering troughs from freezing

Wow. We have ten members on. I'm not used to this much company this late. Hi! (waves) I'm here late 'cause I'm taking a mini-vacation this weekend, so I can sleep late. Going to Kansas City tomorrow for a medical test that's totally unrelated to pain problem I've been having and then flying to Florida tomorrow evening to meet up with a friend. We're going to the Keys on Saturday and I'll fly back home on Monday.

She was too smart to be a cat. Every cat I've ever owned outsmarted me with "clever" pill approaches. Force is the only way. Of course, the first time I de-wormed Spike (soon after getting him home, so he was maybe 8 weeks old), he screamed like I was trying to kill him, and Alice (the 8-year-old female) attacked me. For real. She gouged holes in me through my jeans, including one that took three weeks to heal. It was the only time, ever, I've had no option other than to hit a cat. I realized I was bleeding about 10 minutes after it was over, 'cause the adrenaline was running really high. (I didn't hit her very hard, BTW. Since she's not used to being smacked, it got her attention and stopped her behavior, which the usual firm "NO!", did not.)
