Shopping

clothes
I ordered some stuff online to be send to my local store for no shipping charges. The gal called and said they were here to come and try which I did. I sent all them back. The store was closing today. Everything was 70 percent off. I had to get a t for 3 dollars, and blouse for 3, a sweater and a pair of pants for 3 dollars. I probably didn't need any of it but for 20 dollars got it anyway.
What pissed me off is the girls told me I had to take the stuff I ordered to rtn at another store. There is no way in hell I was going to drive across Town to do that with gas at 3.99 a gallon. Yes it did go down 15 cents a gallon but still they said they were going to return it if I didn't come in. Does customer service end when the store closes. They were loosing their jobs and I feel for them, but you do what you contracted for. Don't tell me you can't do it. Don't offer to call someone send the stuff back. I just left. They were already billing me for the stuff.

kitty litter
kitty litter is convenient. Who ever first came up with the idea had some thing. The clumping scoopable litter is even better. To have a litter box where the cat goes to pee and poop is good. Cleaning litter boxes is icky but Lacy won't do it or use the toilet and eventually I get grossed out. I'm lazy. I use copy paper box lids as liners to the plastic litter box. It get's changed about once every week or 2 or month. As long as I am at school and have a supply, things are fine. Some people clean them with water and bleach and this is easier.

I do not need a dog. I would like to have one for walks. Lacy would not be happy with one. She is she and mostly an inside cat. I like being able to go away for a week. Dogs require more effort. Lacy is pretty independent. She is 10 like 70 in cat years. Still spry though. She only bugs me when she wants a treat. Sometimes for warer or to go out and food. Mostly I notice those.
Pets are not cheap. I may not replace Lacy when she goes.
I fostered 3 kittens to socialize them for a few months. The 2 girls were more social. By the end of 6 weeks or so the girls were more social. One girl was adopted. The boy eventually let me touch him and put a collar on. They all got those. I fed them and scooped.
I'd foster a dog med to large and try it out. I loved having Prince my lab mix. Unfortunately I had him only a few months Feb till June or so. I was so upset when he left. dad took him somewhere and I am still convinced he didn't take him to a farm. I hated having the maids yappy chiwowa, who ate a hole in my screen door I've had for 20 yrs., he wouldn't come close to me, ate through Lacy's leash too i was going to take him on a walk but she kept him as a lap dog and doesn't know how to walk on a leash.

"The need for volunteers in the United States, I am amazed people do not volunteer in their own country first. I refuse to participate in a volunteer group where all people are not welcome. A person should do volunteer work because it is the correct thing to do, not to earn “Brownie Points” in a vanity ledger.
Pj says this, I say who volunteers for that? I do because it makes me feel good.
