Happy June 2013 Thoughts
Here are some of today’s numbers (for those of you scoring at home):
5 Interview calls today. Only 2 spoke discernible English.
Of those 2, one (1) seemed very good. I have some work to do, but once again here’s another Whoppertunity.
3 Calls today asking for “Sean” or “Shawn” “Gabreel”. These were phone scams known as the “free government grant” phone scams. I never got calls like this when I was working. It is amazing how this world preys on the desperate. Just makes me really mad at humanity. Here’s a youtube AUDIO of a guy who has them stomped.
Listen from the 5 minute mark forward. These are foul mouthed sick predator people. This guy is wise, and these phone scammers are horrifically manipulative. It’s nice to hear them get what they deserve. Keep in mind I had 3 of these god damned calls today. I would love to keep these people on the phone and mess with them, but I have a minutes allowance on my verizon wireless contract, of which I’ve been in good standing for 12 years (bastards!).
1 Computer diagnosed. Billy D’s car shop across the street wasn’t getting video on their PC (related to our transformer explosion last month). I lugged his tower PC upstairs, broke it open and fiddled with it. Isolated that one of his memory cards was bad. TA DAAAAAAAAAA!
11 more days left in this apartment. (I want to be vacated by June 15 … hopefully).
11 is Gladys’ approximate age on her approximate birthday. Since daddy is getting an unemployment check tomorrow, Gladys’ birthday will be June 5, 2013. I know I’ve always said (and agreed with her vet) that she was born in June. No one is really sure. She’s a street kitty at heart.
It’s going to be interesting to see how she takes to the new digs… (Insert ponderous thought here).
2 is the amount of annoying ice cream trucks that have gone by my house in the past 1 hour. Sign of the economy? I think so…
THANK GOD IT’S SUMMER BUT… there aint no “hissing of summer lawns” going on here. (Right Denise? I put this cheezee Joni Mitchell song up for you)
so… In summary,
Sometimes I Dont Know What To Feel
Why The Fuck Not?
And the winner is…
…along with the “Kitty Half-Time Show”.

What A Cat Really Feels
Meet Henri. Feel his pain. Share his sadness. Feel his contempt for the white idiots begging for cheeseburgers…

WARNING! HARTZ PRODUCTS KILL PETS (and generally suck!)
So,
I found this website:
…AFTER I bought some flea meds for Gladys. It horrified me. I sent them an email today with better news. Here’s the text:
First of all thank you for your website. Had I known about this first and not been so desperate to save a buck, I would have never fallen into the big lie that Hartz cares about pets.
To begin, Gladys (my 8 yr old rather healthy kitty) was showing signs of a flea infestation. This usually includes scabby flakey dandruff and lots of scratching with some swelling. I figured I would go to my local grocery store up the street (the Acme (which needs a website all its’ own for abusing its’ customers)) to see if they had any spot-on flea solution. All they had was the “Hartz Ultra Guard Plus” solution. I paid nearly $12 for this.
Brought it home and applied it to Gladys as instructed. Was surprised at the amount of fluid that came in one dosage. I thought, “might as well have a bucket of chemicals”. The fluid ran dawn her back and sides way past the instructed dosage area at the base of her skull. I found this to be very messy and dangerous as any mouth contact to these chemicals had to be bad for the cat.
Within an hour she eventually got around to cleaning herself (she is very clean and thorough). Every time she got a taste of the Hartz, she made a horrible face, licked at the air, and sort of slobbered a bit. I kept watching her for the next day (24 hrs had passed since application of the Hartz chemical) and eventually gave up and threw her in the shower and washed her down with shampoo (she was still scratching, and upon further scanning of her fur, had live fleas).
All the Hartz Ultra Guard Plus did was make a mess, made her fur ugly and waxy, and caused her to make a slobbery, yucky face. It didn’t fix anything. A complete waste of time. I finally just broke down and purchased the overpriced but always effective Advantage II. Much smaller dosage (no mess) and seems to always fix everything (like it has for the past 7 years).
When it comes to Hartz, spare your kitty some suffering and just save up for the good stuff. Hartz is worthless and should be fined for producing a useless and dangerous product!
Once again, thank you for your website. I will be linking to it from my blog.
Chad (and NOW a quite happy and flea-free Gladys of course)
So now you all know how we feel about Hartz pet products.
