the original one gave me dimes; hairballs aren't worth much less.
(but the dimes WERE made out of silver!)
(now I am dating myself) I was just pretending to brag like they do in other forums so i chose my cats as the most innocuous and idiotic way to do it.
I should refrain from humor because i am usually so far out that most people just think i am too far out.
lol

My Tooth Fairy gave me dimes, too.
Maizey last ate right after she last shed- but, if memory serves me right, she only ate one of her normal two. Five weeks? Nothing has changed. Loser snake! She's crawling all over right now...***********

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A hummingbird (plain green) just flew up, hovered two feet away from my face, said "cheep cheep cheep" and flew away over the roof!!!
I'm like, "Dillbird, did you see that?" but he was all snuggled down in his sleeping bag, having been in trouble for escaping earlier...***********

is Dillbird a snake too?
my cats are a bit alarmed because i just pulled a buddliea with a 5" diameter trunk out of my front yard.
I will put a fig tree there instead. I can eat figs.

My cats didn't really have hairballs per se, but Jack would insist on bathing Tsuki to great excess... i.e. until there were little clumps of black and yellow fur here, there, and everywhere on the white carpet.
What sweeties.
oh, and they had worms once.
The rats are "interesting" though I'm not sure I understand the whole "my litterbox works great as a litterbox, but also doubles as a bed and TRIPLES as a safe place to hide my food!" mentality. At least I can turn 'em loose in my garden to hunt down the beetles/grubs/etc etc... They haven't bothered the little garden snakes that live on either end of the garden in my tomato bushes yet, and I suspect there's little risk of them doing so, since the thumb-sized neon green tree frog from this morning terrified Gebo to the point of hiding under my nasturtiums.

One of my cats gets hairballs. The other only gets hairballs when she's been grooming the other cat. :P
When orange kitty has trouble, my vet suggested that I give him some olive oil to get things moving. Apparently, they are supposed to like it, but this particular cat doesn't like anything that doesn't come in kibble form (which he then picks up with his paw, knocks it out of the dish, and tries to bring it up to his mouth with his paw, gets frustrated, and then finally eats it like a normal cat. Repeat. And they wonder why he's skinny...)

Just don't cut the fig tree once you plant it - especially with a chainsaw!

Okay - here's the interview report. Da da da daaaaaaa...... It went great!!!!!!!
Long breakfast with 3 of the scientists (search committee members) and a french bakery. Ah, real food. Then came the seminar. I kicked butt on my seminar - got a great response! Then lunch (with 4 comm. members now) at a Thai restaurant - yummmmm. Again - ah, real food. Then a tour of the facilities. Then the formal interview (with a panel of 5) felt a bit like my orals when qualifying for Ph.D. candidacy, but I nailed the questions - for 1 1/2 hours. They told me I answered some of them exactly how they would have. Then I met with the rest of the scientists in the Unit and then home. They told me they are bringing in 2 other candidates this week to make sure everything is equitable.My feeling is that I should get it, based on comments that were made. And, to top it all off - I liked the facilities and the people were great! They think of their technicians as colleagues, not employees - which is very different from where I am now and is a much better way to work! They indicated they would like to have me there as soon as possible - like October! I should hear something official next week! So ... uh... it looks good!
Now - I go to work. This should be an interesting day.*******************
