That just figures... (one more imp spilled story)

[muppetk]

Have you ever noticed how all the imp spilled stories are of things infinitely precious and hard to find like Shub and Blue Moon? Mine isn't much different. Tonight, for the first time in over a year of bpal-lovin', I just spilled my first imp. Aunt Caroline's Money Draw. (I was preparing for a health fair, ie marketing opportunity, that I'll

The other day I spilled half of my precious imp of Hymn to Pan. I decided it had to be some kind of sybaritic rite that I was being initiated into--it all spilled on my nekkid thigh.

*snicker* I like that one!

That's because when you manage to open your imp of Medea upside down (don't ask; I don't honestly know), it's not really worth the telling. It's more of an excuse opportunity to place another Lab order. :D

Hopefully, Aunt Caroline's Money Draw will work for you anyway.

I suspect it will. It made a nice little puddle about the size of a siver dollar on my desk. So I shrugged and said "what the heck" and repeatedly dibbed the wand into the puddle to dab on my brochures instead of dipping into the imp (which has a few drops left in it. Maybe 1/6 full now?). So I was able to get that done at least.

But funny, I've never managed to spill other imps. Even with my managing to turn them nearly horizontal before I realized what I was doign 'cause I was paying attention to the want hand, not the imp hand.

I guess this is an excuse to buy one of those pretty clay imp holders? So that the next time I work with an imp it'll be stable?

It's not always an LE -- I just had my first major imp spillage incident the other night, with Bastet. During an attempted healing ritual for a sick cat, no less. It may have been an omen, given that it turned out the cat had to be put to sleep the next day. :-(

I'm so sorry to hear that! It does sound like an omen though. I was taught you need to pay attention to that sort of thing... gee, now I hope my business doesn't have to be put to sleep. Hmm. Maybe it's just time for me to go to sleep. I think I just went beyond the edges of coherency.

Well, I tend to be a bit skeptical about the whole omen bit just because I've known so many people who overdo it, but you never know. I did have a bit of a feeling things might not go well, though, and asked Bast to do what was best for him, knowing that might just mean giving him a good death. And he was peacefully put to sleep with his people around him, petting him as we said our goodbyes, so I think that was about as good an outcome as could be in that situation.

He had something called fatty liver disease, which I hadn't heard of before this happened, but have since heard several other people say their cats died of too. There are treatments available, but they're not very good, and basically just mean racking up multi-thousand-dollar vet bills and putting the cat through all kinds of pain, only to have them usually die anyway. Compared to that, a quiet death surrounded by the people that love you seems pretty good.

To replace the oil I spilled, I've always thought that Greed would be a great money drawing blend. :) But if I really can't find my other imp of AC's Money Draw, nor my imp of Foundation of Fortune, and if I can't afford a bottle of Wealthy Business, I can always go to LuckyMojo.com. They have a wide variety of occult oils & such, and the owner really knows her stuff. I just don't think they'll smell quite as nice, nor that they'll be quite as concentrated. Also that they'd very likely require more work on my part than I think Beth's do. :)

And I'm sorry about the kitty. Sounds like the cat version of hepatitis. Not fun.
