I don't think it plausible that someone in the neighborhood would not have heard, and looked.

I'm not sure if i should say I didn't pay to see the shoot, as it might be a "protests too much" thing.

I think I will say, "she is pretty, she looks like ___- with no top on."

i think saying nothing could be seen as creepy.

Thoughts?

If I were in your shoes, I would not say a word.

I can't imagine her Dad or Mom would ask you about it, but if it comes up (heheh) a simple "Oh. Congratulations!" or "How Nice." is probably the way to go.

P.S. I probably whiffed, but c'est la vie.

P.P.S. Thanks RT for fixing my account.

My daughter wanted a hamster more than anything. I have her on the weekends and told her that if she wants a hamster she would have to take care of it and it would be her responsibility, so her mother would have to get her one (which she did). Hamsty McFluffster (that was the name my crazy daughter gave the hamster) was a mean fucker. Bit my daughter every time she tried to pick him up. They moved his cage to the basement because of the smell and the little shit died of unknown causes.

My daughter was devastated, my ex told me. She couldn't even bring herself to tell me about the death on the phone. Later that day, I finally talked to her and asked her how she was feeling. She said, "Fine. I really loved Hamsty, but now he's gone." I asked her if she was going to get a new hamster and she said, "No way. Hamsters are mean." And that was that.

(What that has to do with your problem, I don't know. I just know these feelings of intense love for new pets* are often the same feelings of intense love for a new doll. It fades pretty fast and they move on to something else.)

*I concede that it's very different with long-time family pets.

On Sunday, it seemed like an opportunity for a good lesson. On Monday, it seemed like an opportunity for a good lesson, albeit at the expense of a little heartbreak and having to get a new cat. On Tuesday, it seemed like the possibility of a good lesson buried in deep a pile of emotional trauma. By this morning, it just seemed like an inevitable future expenditure of tens of thousands in therapy bills. But you are probably right. Had we given the cat to Rodney and gotten a new cat, the memory probably would have faded by Halloween. Well, for now I am going with the Less "free pussy" theory.

a few months ago they mentioned it would possibly happen. I guess grasping their nettles as it were.

As you know, I want to help. Always. But, you lost me on the above.....was the kitten hypothetical or real?


cheerio!

Good day to you! Kitten is real. Wife and kid . . . not so much. Thanks as always for your willingness and desire to help! A good sort, you are.

Goddamn you.

At any rate, use this for your icon. It's what I would have done if I had thought of it first.

The Creek? I'd sooner support Jose Cuervo.

Mrs. NotBob has quite the figure. Almost as hot as Hank's neighbor's daughter.

And once you've paid a vet bill, consider the cat yours.

I suppose they didn't want any friends to see it and have to wonder if they knew.

Maybe not so faboo after all. Ex-bf from FIFTEEN years ago, who I haven't talked to in TWELVE years, is at least as annoying as he ever was. And yes, he will totally notice if I defriend him, even though there is no alert.

I guess in a way it's a compliment.

I figure this is just another chance for a valuable life lesson. Free pussy is great, but you never know what you might get from it.

In all seriousness, get the cat checked. Also think about the cat dung/small child issue. Cat feces can carry all sorts of things, including toxoplasmosis, which I managed to contract when I were but a lad. It led to retinal scarring, which (as I was informed many years later by an eye doctor as I quietly shat myself), had it been in a different location, could have blinded me in both eyes. Admittedly this is very rare and you have probably already thought of this, but still.

Also, stop putting your telephone number up in dodgy neighborhoods.

I'm not sure what your incontinence issues have to do with this, but if we have received no further calls by the end of the week, we will take the cat in for all the tests and to get it neutered, etc. Good bye, money! Bye!

Go with nothing unless they bring it up first.

Actually, that was NB, right after his first chest wax.
