So probably dead. Makes me sad. Any animal suffering makes me sad, no matter how small.<br />Our cat used to be allowed to go outside through the cat door at night. But she brought in mice, birds and rats. All alive and screaming in our bathroom. As I just said I cannot take any animal suffering which meant I would go bananas, really freaking out. Ron had to get up in the middle of the night, shut the cat outside the bathroom and catch the endangered animal of the night. Alive with a towel. The bring it downstairs and release it through the front door. (I was always scared a rat would be so confused he would run back into the house. But that never happenend.) You can understand that Ron values his sleep more than he allows the cat to go out at night. The cat door is now shut when it is dark.....<br />Poor cat, but lucky little animals.No Fear of Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999161414598296313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-7603769878897543032016-03-11T01:32:42.052-08:002016-03-11T01:32:42.052-08:00Collecting is so much freaking fun.

I never miss things (I can always visit them last time I wore them - pictures are worth a thousand hairballs, etc.), and I like seeing my friends and coworkers wearing them around. <br /><br />Hey, where are we going for brunch?

Made things so much more interesting.<br />I do get rid of stuff from time to time. Usually I don't miss a thing (bcause I have a bad memory for these things) but I do miss a couple of pieces. As I gave them away to friends with a thinner wallet than mine, I comfort myself with the thought that they are having fun with them now.<br />But this limited clothes space and all these clothes hanging so close together presents me with a strange problem. What is in my closets is all good, no need to get rid of it. So I cannot buy any more as there really is no space for it... What a deluxe problem.<br />As for Chuckie... I saw his mean little face and decided never to see the movie. Too scary for me.<br />Now.. calm down.. there are no aliens in your house. Honestly there are not. <br />GreetjeNo Fear of Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999161414598296313noreply@blogger.com
