What is your EQ?... (link to the test)Posted on 09/25/08, 12:33 pm
tried to post a link to this and i don't know if it worked or not. interesting test. interesting concept. probably MORE important than intelligence (IQ).
FOUND BIG BOY!!!! :D went looking at lunch time instead of early morning and dusk and late night....HE WAS AT THE LOG CABIN!!! and the recluse that lives there was out as well, i thought perhaps big boy was caught on something as he was in a different area than usual...the guy said to come up and "do what you have to do" so i went onto the property...kind of freaky...i said to the man if he wants to adopt him, he can, because big keeps coming down there, but he didn't answer me. i go home with him. put out food, he's not even hungry and immediately he goes to the door to go back out!!! i didn't allow it this time. i think i have another case of a neighbor wanting one of the cats, but if so, why not just fill out the adoption forms...so then big went in the small unit that i should be renting out but haven't and hung out under the bed in there (that unit is SMALL like the size of a cabin on a yacht kind of small. everything about this place is yachtish...an old yacht because of the wood, but it makes you wonder about the architect. even the stairway coming up to the deck and the deck itself FEELS like a yacht and expecting water below. lol. so the mystery is solved and the cat is alive....however
then k calls to say that handsome dan/aka greedy gus/aka lucky (everyone names him something different as he is super friendly and a charmer, is missing for 48 hours as of today. so, here we go again. k also says he hasn't wanted to be picked up lately, which is usually a sign of being "dumped by your pet" in favor of another human. lol. would be nice if people just came forward on these things as most of our animals are up for adoption anyway. i hope this is all it is.
nothing else going on. just very sleepy and congested from allergies and the animals that got fixed are still ill but appear to be getting better. they are much worse than me though. sleeping great because of all the rain. still need to send in my contract and see the other properties. oh, got in another client but have no idea if it is any good and i have a feeling krn wants the same thing. this is an excellent time for people to be doing reverses to protect themselves and their investment etc. and if they can, they should really go for it. i hear gas is down to 2.89 gallon in orlando so maybe the rumor that bush would bring down gas, waaaay down before he leaves office is true. have a feeling the price of oil/gas was all a bunch of bulshit so he and his buddies could make scads of money which is exactly what happened. pretty sickening.
God, please help me lose ten pounds by november 21, 2008. thank you. amen

DAY FIVE: big boy is still missing! called the humane society again to check and recheck the paralyzed one...nothing in today, that is male and black and the paralyzed re-check was a female...called laura around the block because she is home all day and she hasn't noticed him for about two weeks. i'm feeling kind of desparate about it
the sky outside is literally PINK. it was pouring rain before and now it is overcast, but now it is PINK? like a pink glow... doesn't even look like its planet earth. lol.
be careful of what you wish for...i was cleaning out the small unit with its own entrance etc (finally) and griping to myself about how small it is and needing to down size because i have so many things, and annoyed that the kittens turned that space upsidedown recently from playing etc., and then i remembered going on in the late spring that i have too many things and would like smaller space because it would teach/force me to downsize (get rid of things). well here we are so why am i griping? lol. had to stop when i realized and had to smile. be careful of what you wish for.
life cracks me up...even on here...friends and groups overlap so easily even when you try NOT to! lol. there is a book titled something like six degrees (people) from kevin bacon (the actor) ... in other words we are six degrees from knowing each other globally, each head on know each other or know someone who knows us. i believe it. when i used to travel a lot i noticed that straight off, especially when in europe and running into people i know or know someone i know like right down the street from...i chalked it up to the small number who travel or like the same music and actually go out to decent dance clubs (back then) and that is why the overlap. but the six degrees book says it overlaps no matter what. way too small a world. lol. makes me feel a little bit claustrophobic and the need to break away. i love the feeling of the open road, the total freedom thing and the feeling of getting somewhere new, when absolutely no one knows you nor knows you are there. soooo free feeling. and it never lasts. the longer that feeling can go on the better, but it never lasts. eventually all the run ins and the know someone who knows someone thing starts. lol.
conversely, i went to k's last night. i really owe him a ton of time...don't want to lose friends or family either...i was feeling very sleepy and knew at home i would just fall asleep anyway. so instead i had dinner at k's and watched the csi shows there and slept through most of each one and didn't miss out on any of it anyway. lol. so much for tv. it was a great dinner. he is soooo good at impromptu meals (better than the planned ones). and i realized as i ate that i actually miss his cooking. and i wondered fleetingly, what am i going to do when he is gone...(i'll probably go first anyway. i don't plan on truly growing old. but if he was gone) that is the big problem, with people being gone, then fill in the blank and replace that person with someone similar in the small ways that is what actually makes a friendship or repore if its family anyway like, likes impromptu meals, or trades mutually interesting articles, or has the same hobby in a reliable way, or is a night person who gets chatty at night, or enjoys windy tropical weather, or surfs...i think eventually people get tired of replacing that is what world weary is (or is that clinical depression? lol.) and then they just don't bother anymore. dying to get myself back on some sort of routine and schedule again actually. k made homemade chili (which made me think of an uncle who makes chili and is no longer about) with brown rice and homemade bread with garlic. and a choice of three desserts and merlot wine, which i declined. k is so good at being the host, and his home is the perfect design for it because the back den is HUGE and looks onto a second livingroom making the total view across the den about 40 feet. he'll never downsize even though he always talks about it, he'd miss it too much.
i still think the extra space at my house is too small to rent to anyone, but people from the university do call and i don't even have an ad out right now. if i didn't have other plans i would seriously consider doing multiple rentals for students especially as its becoming a buyers market again...
the animals are still ill but seem improved over yesterday. the friendliest one spits out his medicine every time and chokes...but all ate well on moist food so i can always hide medicine in some moist food and do it that way. or baby chicken and rice cereal often works well... the man down stairs (who IS there full time by the way, not just there to fix things etc) said to me yesterday that he is trying very hard not to bother us or make a nuisance of himself, which was very nice and very unexpected. also kv asked me to consider the downstairs man if i have a client that is looking for re because he has an re license and needs money or needs to get back to whatever he used to do full time. hmmmm
i haven't checked the incision sites on the animals yet. lol. i will though

good to hear that the kittens are feeling better,i know how difficult it is to give a cat or kitten medicine.there is a long joke about "how to give a cat a pill".its so eloquent funny and true.
the impromtu chili dinner with k sounded nice.
merlot wine sounds good to me right now,but i dont drink.
I have heard of six degrees of seperation and six degress of kevin bacon,i understand it better after reading your thoughts on it.i smiled at your liking the total freedom of an open road.your a pretty cool cat my friend. hope you find big boy.
the sky being pink,never seen that,could it be from pollution and smog or just the colors that came from the sunset?hmmm. hugs hon

Great news on the kittens. I love the way you hide the medicine. The chili dinner with K sounds like old times. Yes, you do need to see him more often, it is hard to find people like that. Total Freedom is what we all wish for I believe. Hope you have success find that Big Boy. I think renting the small place out to a student would be great. Amazing they really don't need a lot of space and you would be doing a great service to these young kids. Have a Great Weekend...Rain is in the forecast here. Hugs and Love

Sorry that Big boy is still missing, hope he turns up soon, wonder where he can be.
Its good news about the kittens,its an awful job trying to medicate animals, Rupert is dreadful with his wormer,trying to squirt something down his throat is a nightmare,if I put it in his food he just leaves it.
We get pink skies here sometimes,usually at night when the sun is going down, they are lovely.
There is certainly some money to be made doing rentals,lots of people do it here.
Take care.xxx

all of the ones taking the medication well are progressing properly. the one that spits it out, i don't know if its because he is choking from congestion or what, i also put it on his coat and hope he licks it that way, but he is healing more slowly and is the one that needs it the most.
here is the deal: big is missing again. sorry all the stuff on cats but that is what is important to me that is going on right now. rescue does take everything over because life has to be the choice over everything else, even forms and things for work...forms can be done anytime and life has to be saved right away or there is death. all things in the world, are timing. it was raining on saturday so cats hide. sunday still no show, but i also found baby girl on sunday and monday we had the raccoon incident so i figured he was too scared to come back. well tuesday still no show...so now i am calling the humane societies and the police...its ridiculous, i haven't had trouble like this since 2005 when we had a neighbor who was an asshole and had to be terrorized so he'd move away. now, is it a neighbor or is it the animal? i walk around the block and other people also have missing animals and say that there was a city pick up truck was telling people not to keep their cats outdoors, they have lived there for 20 years and told the city man to "fuck off". they claim that all of this has been happening in just the last month. they think someone is calling. so then i looked at the sidewalks on the street behind ours and the city is doing work and i am thinking maybe something is up with it, like a courtesy keep your cats indoors because they are doing work on the street and not really lording it over anyone? though they claim some animals are missing and that is not okay at all...i left a message with our humane society to call me and let me know before they kill, because they kill over there. fuck! why is this happening

SO sorry that Big Boy is still missing. Have you cked that log cabin. Seems you said that he went over there before. Hope all this works out for the good of your cats and your anxiety level!
Take Care :)
)))HUGS(((

Big Boy where are you now? I know you will find him again...He is probably out strolling again. Did you check the last place? Now good to hear you called the Humane Society and I think this is rotten that somebody could be doing something to the animals. Sounds like with other people also having some of the same troubles, something must be going on. I know you will get to the root of it. Hugs and Love...Good Luck

O MAN,HOPE U FIND HIM,I SO SORRY,CITY PEO LIKE THOSE CAN B JERKS,HUGS N PRAYERS U FIND THE KITTY OK,LOVE YA,ANN
-
I'm sorry to hear that and don't be apologetic about what is passionate to you. I know the feeling I guard my cats preciously. So I hope everything works out for you, love, Carolyn
-
Your passion for cats and animals in general is so admirable. Keep your cool, unfortuately shit happens.
-
I'm sorry you are having such bad luck with the cat situation. Animals don't seem to have any good laws to really protect them! They count on all of us animal lovers to come to their defense. I hope Big Boy returns safely to you, and the others that have been missing go to their homes! My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours!
-
These cats are certainly causing you grief at the moment, Big boy COME BACK!! I know what you mean about rescue taking over, I dont do as much now as I used to,too many ailments!! I do as much as I can though.When the dog wardens take dogs in they put them down after a month so we have to make sure we get them away!!
Take care, hugs. xxx

thanks guys. i called the humane societies and animal control and the closest thing they have is a paralyzed black cat "hit by a car" that the adoption manager had already called me about on the weekend when i wasn't looking for him yet. they already put the paralyzed one down. animal control claims they could have autopsied baby girl to see what kind of the shot wound that was...except i know they couldn't really because we found the body so late. so i am at square one. i wanted to look with a flashlight by day today, but it is raining. also odd. my cats that normally go out are staying in? very weird...even big before this i thought was training better because he was at the house so much and now i wonder if it was something else i should have let him in again? however, three of the cats that got fixed on monday are sick plus the two kitties that were sick to begin with...i wonder if i had taken the sick one away real fast if i could have stopped it? i have them all on antibiotics and i'm going to order more...what a mess...haven't been through this since weasy in the winter and weasy died. last fall we had some weird disease happen and they died in two days it was "supposedly" some kind of rare mite disease, but no one really knows...this is the hardest part of rescue for me and i wonder if i was more educated in all of this if i would still feel this way? they claim you get inured to it all...hasn't happened yet

I dont think I could ever get used to all the things that happen to animals no , matter how long I was involved with it, all we can do is our best, and you are certainly doing that.
Good luck, I hope everything turns out ok.
-
you are doing great, animals missings? either is a human or the skunk family. I hope the kitties get well, big comes home. hugs deb
My EQ was 122 I think. I took that test awhile back. Very interesting.
Glad you found Big Boy. I figured he went back to the cabin.
I think the gas prices are political also. Arseholes!!
We are at $2.69 per gallon in Humansville MO. So nice to fill the car for under $30 for a change :o)!
Hope your allergies don't cause you to much trouble!!!
auntshawn
My test score was the same 122. Guess I am ok...haha. What is yours? Good news on Big Boy. Here gas is still high $3.45 or so...Hope it comes down more. I hear many places are under $3.00 now....Yes, they made their profits ...hope the stock market continues to hold...today it did decent for a change. Hope you feel better. Take Care, Love U

i took it twice, only because i couldn't find the answers to print. lol. the explanation was the same on both anyway. excellent. and 120 and 116. i found this on the multiple marriages thing and most of their's was 77 or thereabout so i probably would have rechecked anyway to be sure i was getting it very clearly. lol. i think on a bad day i might come in lower, not really sure. a lot of the psyche stuff varies like the animal, color body of water one and the freud thing...those do the art therapy subconscious thing. lol. they do work though. very clarifying

I am glad your cat came back. I posted a photo of my three. A once in a life time kind of snap shot.

So good to hear that big boy is alive and well,maybe the recluse guy cant for whatever reason come out and tell you he wants big boy.being reclusive,he may shy away from civilization and all that goes with it.
Hope you feel better soon,and that the kittens get well too.hugz hon

Alright!
