Ya know what? You might as well be resigned to the fact that you have an outdoor cat! Put some food out. Have a non-allergic person take him to the vet. Christen him Squiddy. All is good.

I know you are allergic so you won't agree with me but that is ok. Now that the cat is on your lap he is your for good. Not sure if he like you because you feed him, but he is now attached to you. I think that you letting him be on your lap when you are allergic means the same thing. I'm not saying he will be a house cat. But I think the 3 of you will take care of him and let him stay out side and when winter comes maybe he will even go on the porch out front. Of course I could be wrong but I just get the feeling that you 4 are getting attached.

Things that stress me outCategory: stress
This tree humping my house. It is my neighbor's tree and the reason I never do anything about it is because I feel bad having them cut such a big ole beautiful tree. On the other hand it is fucking up my roof.

Paul doesn't want the whole tree cut down. He just wants the limbs over the roof trimmed back.

Yeah, you could perhaps have an expert carefully saw off the branches jutting onto the roof. It will get taller if its not allowed horizontal growth. On another note, I can't see your house from my window but I can see this tree and I usually point it out to people visiting and say that where you guys live. :)

I'm wondering a couple things. Is it possible to have someone cut off the stuff that is on your house and leave the rest of the tree. The other thing I wonder is will get taller and if so would that move the branches that mess with your house above the roof? I'm not saying you have the answers but maybe someone who knows about trees does so that you don't have to worry about the house and the tree won't have to go either.

I love my new iPhoneCategory: mobile
I love my new iphone. Here I am, blowing it kisses like a new lover. I stayed up all night writing a program so I can picture blog from it via email in an effort to bring me closer to my 3000th blog post. If you have an iphone amnd want to try it, message me. I am also working on a blackberry version for (e:fing). Apparently, bith OSes don't let you upload files from the browser, lame.
I am so glad I didn't wait in the four hour line yesterday (e:paul,44928) . They had plenty of them this afternoon and the line was only 10 minutes. The tricky thing is that they have to remove all corporate discounts from your phone in order to activate it. Then you have to go to the AT&T store to rreapply the discounts to your account. I bet lots of people forget. How tricky is that. They say its a computer glitch, whatever.

Do you know of any sketch apps? I'd like to do little doodles on it. Is it touch sensitive?

Why I don't like cats... :::link:::
There are a lot of allergic people who keep cats and survive. My team captain's boyfriend is severely asthmatic and allergic, and she has come up with all kind of coping mechanisms. Her cats are both long-haired cats, and one of them, she just shaves every few months, the poor thing. She also vacuums religiously and they got rid of all their carpeting and have leather couches because cat hair doesn't stick to leather. But they have a much smaller house so there are fewer places for poor allergic Walt to retreat.
Most important is KEEP THE THING OUT OF YOUR BEDROOM. You need a cat-free space to retreat to. Be really strict about this, even to the point of not keeping dirty laundry in there that might have cat hair on it.
I mean, that's only if he's coming inside at all-- but really, restricting what rooms of the house he can go into is a really good idea if he ever comes inside. Keep doors shut and so on.
A good-quality HEPA air filter in the cat-free space will also help. I know these assholes fired me, but their HEPA filters are for serious-- www.austinair.com -- and they're good for chemical sensitivities too. If you're interested in one I'll give you my old sales manager's contact info-- he's still a nice dude and could cut you a deal.
www.allergybuyersclub.com is a good website with various allergy coping mechanisms-- faithfully brushing the cat (preferably outdoors) to keep shedding and dander to a minimum, but they also sell like these baby-wipe-like things that you can wipe the cat down with now and then to get dander off it so it doesn't become airborne.
Does your kitty have a name? He looks a lot like Chita so I am automatically a sucker for him and want you guys to totally keep him. The more proactive you are about keeping him from annoying you, the longer you can keep him without, you know, dying. So really I'm being selfish in telling you all this, but also I don't want you to die.
I can not believe you have left me alone in the cat haters club. thanks paul, thanks a lot.
I had the Gamma values set to zero all these days!! Oh foolish me. No wonder all my monitors were so dark and my work monitor was too light! Aaargh.
Can't see a thing...
