[my beautiful idiot]

If I had 60 bucks I'd give it to you, my cats have been sick and I hate it...especially when they're throwing up/drooling/acting weirdly.

[CeeGBee]

What kind of flea stuff do you use?  We use Advantage, and I've never had a problem.

Anyhoo, glad she'll be okay.

Then again, I'm always pretty careful to put it between the shoulder-blades where it's nigh-impossible to lick...

Well. Okay.
It was meant as a quick-fix repellent because my grandma's cats gave us fleas. It was "natural" stuff, and my co-workers said it was okay, and I put a little bit on her shoulders, but it dripped and she got to it.
Never again.

WAHHH MY HEADPHONES ARE BROKEN!!1

Seriously, I live right in the city where its always loud and I'm not tired and listening to the Fantasia soundtrack was supposed to make me fall asleep tonight since I have to get up early tomorrow

YUCK!

...I feel the need to explain. Firstly, I mean the 1939 film, not the 1999 one. Secondly, when I was a very tiny child, my mother would put me on the couch in front of this film on evenings when she had loads of work to do and needed me engaged with something/not bothering her for a couple of hours. This was before I could walk, so I would just sit and watch, and eventually fall asleep. Some sort of behavioural conditioning thing seems to have formed from this repeated experience in my childhood, and now whenever I hear parts of the soundtrack - an orchestral version of Toccata and Fugue, the Nutcracker Suite, Night on Bald Mountain, The Sorcerers Apprentice etc - I start to get incredibly sleepy. These days, I use this to my advantage.

@Topic: I'm sick, and had no headphones, and didn't get to sleep until about 5.30am, despite going to bed at midnight. Had to get up at 7, was so sick and tired today that I didn't make it through all my lectures. I think I have the black plague. Srsly.

Oh my Jesus, I hate you. Okay, I don't hate you because you can sleep when you hear those songs, you can sleep when you hear those songs because I hate you. But in all seriousness, I envy you immensely. I have strange sleeping habits, and if you look at my posts, I tend to most more often when everyone on the other side of the ocean (ie. europe, asia, australia, africa, etc) is posting.

I forgot where I left a wad of cash that I took out of my wallet when I left for Ghana. It's about a hundred and fifty euros.

[absynth aura]

Didn't really ruin it, but made it a pain.

On my way to uni this morning, it decided to pour down, so in the 5 minutes it too me to walk from the cablecar to my first lecture, I got soaked. This would have been fine if my coat was waterproof, but it isn't, so it soaked through, my t-shirt was wet also, so I had to sit through a 2 hour lecture in a cold theatre in a wet shirt. And my coat still isn't dry, and I have to put it back on in another 40 minutes to head to my tutorial, then down into the city to get my train pass from my mums work.

I can't wait to get home, put on my fat pants and a hoodie and curl up with a cup of tea and Treasure Island.

When I first got to Belfast, I found in the third week that my waterproof jacket was not waterproof. Cue a miserable lunchtime spent shivering half to death in a cafe, huddled up to the radiator and waiting for my next class

[lentower]

I brought a ticket on a chair at a local theatre,

got there and found out they had switched me to a stool.

got home and my knees became sore and swollen.
took a week last time for them to get back to normal.
and a week after that to get my exercise routine back to normal.

i'm done with stools and this theatre,

wish i could take them to court on the bait-n-switch

Did you get any kind of confirmation (email/etc) that specified what kind of seat you were sold?

yes.
a paper ticket.
Table 2 printed on it.

'Table 2' had always been the same table.
all tables in this venue had always had chairs.

but for this show,
they add these tall tables with stools,
and RENUMBERED all the tables, so
the new 'Table 2' had stools.

The old 'Table 2' was still there with chairs,
but had a new different number.

i've been a season subscriber to this theatre for years.
i reserved my tickets on-line for ll this season's last summer,
and they mailed the paper tickets to me.

of course, the on-line seating chart from last summer is long gone.

bets, on who is no longer going to be a season subscriber?

Yeah, that's a bunch of crap. They should have called you ahead of time and let you know of the switch. And you have it in writing. Call the box office manager and give 'em an earful.

Yes, totally unacceptable.

Complaint in process.

Wowza, I got a call from their head of marketing today.  

Claims a refund check is on it's way.

I was suppose to get a call that they were switching my table.  (I didn't.  Though I have a few times over the decades.)

Stools and chairs will be sold and handled as distinctly different types of seats in the future.
They thought this was just a lateral move.  (?)

They better refund you! But I'm glad there are positive signs coming from them. Still, if we pulled stuff like that at our theatre, we'd be hearing about it for years...

Mother nature flipped a complete 180 and now it's too muggy for coziness
The pirates are still onboard though!

The phone vibrated because of a call or text and the change fell on them because of the vibrations. I'm guessing.
