Ya'll. My work is off the chains right now. People are resigning, people are getting fired. I feel like I'm going down on a sinking ship but I already signed a contract to be there until July 2017.

I think I need to take some deep breaths...

Woah! What's going on over there?

I thought some serious dramz went down when I saw Randoms were already up to 3 pages, nope just cat talk.

I'm getting my hair done then hitting up Nordstrom's half year sale, all in all I'm pretty psyched for today. I just wish it would stop effing raining

But the cat talk involved some drama! Abuse, bad manipulative friends, peer pressure (mostly from us)... so much drama!

True, I was thinking old school flaming, like when FFFC threads would be 20 pages by noon

I am prepared to flame anyone that doesn't like cats. It is Thursday, after all. #catdrama4life

I have a problem and that when my cats are not kittens anymore I get another. Our baby is about 13 months right now and I have the itch.

I think if we don't get pregnant soon, we may go with a puppy for our dog (I want a yellow labby). 5 vet bills really suck though. Thanks T and your $685 vet bill for your surgery.

Yea but you still take care of your adult pets and they live in animal heaven. But that many vet bills would be hard for us.


If we don't have a baby I am definitely getting a dog. 

They are spoiled little things.
Thankfully the cats haven't cost us much money. Our first cat did because I pulled her out of a barn at 6 months old having lived through -20 degree nights. When we first got her, the medicine to treat her upper respiratory infection and eye issues and spaying were around $600. My second two cats came spayed so they only needed shots. By the time I got cat 4, I was smart. I use the low cost clinic that spayed the twins through the lady that I adopted them from, bought my own vaccines and had them start them when they neutered him.

Our dog came to us at a year off of a garage sale site because his owner was divorcing and couldn't find a place that accepted pets. The first day we met him, he jumped up and down over my head (I'm 5'10) I should have known he was never going to calm down. He came fixed, so I didn't have that expense. When we first got him he got bit by a tick before we got his soresto on him so finding out almost a year later he had Lyme sucked. Then he grew these bumps.

I know as animals get older, more issues come up but I feed my cats expensive cat food and stay up on their vaccines in hopes we don't have to spend a lot in the future.

Man I miss that sometimes. Not that I enjoy the reasons for the flaming (people being racist, judgmental, etc.) but it was kind of morbidly fascinating to see what shit hit the fan.

Y'all are too normal and nice these days.

FX all is well for you.

Eeeee I'm going to Chicago tomorrow!!! So excited! Anybody have must sees/must eats? Let's be honest, food is a big priority.

One time I went to one of those spas with a bunch of different sauna rooms, where you can also get adult beverages. Drinking + sweating profusely in sauna = really really bad idea. I was so fucking drunk I threw up into my towel on my way back to the locker room. It was in the middle of the day, too, and then I had to get on an airplane.

I am back to trying to convince MH we need to get a puppy. I gave it a rest for a couple of months but I'm back at it today. Planning to send him pictures of cute puppies as a starting point.

[PirateCat]

ETA: PDQ

onesweetworld , aww you've helped so many.

My first cat came to me with herpes, blind in one eye, then developed a serious obsessive compulsive disorder manifesting in self-mutilation, which led to amputating part of her tail, is on expensive meds and ungrateful and feisty as hell. I love that little evil bugger.

onesweetworld , cute!

[ironbaby]

FWIW, we adopted our cat when we was a stray at about 3 years old. I still regret that we never got to experience him as a kitten (I have never had a kitten), but damn it if he is not the most perfect, amazing creature.

I cannot understand people who would want a kitten but not the cat that kitten becomes.

I think it is definitely worth it to stay on top of vaccines and give them really good food. Our Border Collie is 16 and is in really good health! DH swears it is his diet lol. 

[icedtea]

I am legitimately freaked out by people who don't like animals. Not people who don't want pets, I get that (expensive, lots of work, etc.). But people who cannot think of a single animal they wouldn't mind hanging out with for a little bit. Is that flammable?

[ohinvrtedworld]

The pet talk is killing me. I want a doggie so bad! My puppy fever is out of control. H will not budge on his lack of desire for a dog.

I need a little pug with a perfect cinnamon roll tail.

Right?! It seriously makes no sense to me. I will say I am itching for a puppy since my last puppy is now 16 lol. But our next dog will be an older rescue mostly because I told DH I can't deal with puppy status while working nights.

I would like to change our dogs diet but MH is in charge of the dog.

For good views of the city, go to the Signature Lounge at John Hancock. Skip paying for a view, and instead pay only for drinks and get a free view. So pretty at night.

The Museum of Science and Industry is my fave.

As far as restaurants go, I'm not sure what price range you're looking for, so I'll just list everything and you can look at them. These are some faves:

The Publican
Ruxbin
Spacca Napoli
The Purple Pig
Topolobampo
Lao Sze Chuan (the dumplings, man. SO GOOD)
Portillo's (have not actually been here yet, but know it's popular)
Lucky's Sandwich Co.
Cafecito

I tried to think of some brunch options, but my cousin usually just takes us somewhere. Haha. Sorry!

Let me know if you go to any of these places!

Also, ceejay might have some more suggestions.

[daisy818]

I've already told DH that if we don't have a baby I'm getting another dog. Probably a black pug this time, and I'm naming it something ridiculous like Lord Wigglebutt or Mr. Sausage McPickles or something.

Although who am I kidding, I'm going to do this whether we have a kid or not.
