"Never get a cat."

[sab]

Here's some observations.

1. To LA-area folks. Have you heard this radio commercial for Mike Diamond Plumbing? Where they promise the plumber will show up on time and smell good? And/or the commercial riffs on smelling various plumbers to make sure they're not stinky? Is this a thing, now? Are angry homeowners calling to complain about the way their visiting plumbers smell? I can't imagine ever, in any circumstance, calling anywhere to complain about the smell of another human being. Much less the smell of a human being who's snaking my septic tank. I am FLUMMOXED.

2. And Edith is losing her hair. She's patchy, a little, she has one patch near her tail, on her back, and one patch on her chest, and two little ones on the top of her head. The Internet seems to think it's stress-related compulsive grooming, and she DOES smack her head a lot with her feet. Should I be worried? Note: I cannot afford a vet at the moment, especially since the Water and Power people came and harangued me this morning for the THREE HUNDRED THIRTY DOLLARS I owe him, so the answer to the Edith question must be either a) "I'm sure she's fine," or b) "I'm a vet, here's what you should do for under ten bucks."

3. To Do: DS9 ficathon, Mary Sue novel (done, because I rock), Jed/Leo, Paris/Kim, wish there were Voyager seasons beyond S2 torrented somewhere. Meanwhile, selenak comes home in two days. Be STILL MY NARN HEART!

Hee, what radio station have you been listening to? That's just unbelievably bizarre, although no weirder than the commercial I just saw for some sort of money management company with two cats in English Gilesishy glasses talking on a picnic blanket!

And, is it possible that Edith has fleas? There are evil fleas out here, and she may be allergic to them! There's a decent, and not terribly expensive vet on Sunset up by East Wind (Sunset Animal Hospital). I've called them before to ask what's wrong with my cats, and they like you to bring them in, but they'll generally tell you what they think is wrong:)

Dude, I get this stinky plumber commercial all the time, right in between Robin's Brothers engagement rings and, you know, Sit'n'sleep will beat anyone's advertised price or your mattress is FREEEEEE!

I am listening to, without fail, KZLA, LA's Country Music Radio Station, 93.9. *g*

And I don't see a single flea. And I usually SEE when she has fleas. She's just LICKING like a madwomancat. It's deeply bizarre. Now she has a bald spot on her elbow, and a RAW bald spot on her side where it's easy to reach. Poor tiny ridiculous bird-eating cat.

Poor little bird eater:( Sounds like stress. Maybe the birds are getting smarter:)

Oy, hate, hate the Robin's Bros. commercials. And honestly, who knew that so many people in Southern California were in need of both mattresses and carpet? When I found out there really was a place called Carpenteria, and that Carpeteria wasn't just a play on cafeteria I almost fell off my chair:)

That little sitnn'Sleep man is insidious. I can hear the tone of his freeeee in my head right now!!
