I am in a food coma

[jelazakazone]

Ok, we had a seder here.  It's a Jewish ritual involving food.  And I have no restraint. I ate so much.  We started with green beans and then matzoh and charoset (apples/cinnamon/dates/nuts). Moved on to hard boiled egg (thus the need for so many eggs of late -- 2 seders:)) and matzoh ball soup.  Then there was pressure cooker carrot puree (which

That cat-that is how the first cats became domesticated. Scientists are now fairly certain that cats self-domesticated. They picked people and moved in. And they STILL do it. My bestie has a cat that cuted her way right into my friend's house and heart.

So happy to hear you enjoyed the festivities today!

*hugs*

*pokes you* Hee! I'm delighted to see you here:) I was beginning to wonder where you'd been. Did that headache turn into a migraine the other day?

LOL. No cats are allowed to take up residence here. I'm allergic. This cat also had a collar. Interesting that cats self-domesticated. They do always seem to love me. I think it's because they can tell I'm allergic.

Both seders were great in their own way, actually. Mmm, foooood.

I've been pathetically lacking in energy and motivation to do anything the last few days. I've been lurking but feeling unable to participate. I feel a lil better atm.

Yeah, cats are not always successful in their attempts to adopt new people, but some of them sure try!

*sigh* I've just been crazy busy with very little time to be online. Also been feeling somewhat inward focused lately. Seems like a lot of people have had this problem.

Hee! So funny. Sometimes I wish I weren't allergic to cats. DD2 would love to have a pet and there is no way we are getting a dog (way too much work), but the allergy puts cats out too:(

[k_nightfox]

Yeah, my mom was allergic too. I didn't get my first cat till I got my own place.

I quite enjoyed owning hamsters though! Can you do something small like that?

[jelazakazone]

I am sure that DD2 will get pets as soon as she moves out. Incentive!

Nope. I'm allergic to hay/alfalfa too:(

[k_nightfox]

I had minature hamsters, fed them parakeet seeds/veggies and used cedar shavings for their bedding. No hay or alfalfa needed!

[jelazakazone]

Hunh. Well.... maybe in a few years. They don't keep their room clean enough for a hamster to be anywhere, actually :D

[k_nightfox]

LOL, fair enough. I didn't get my first hamster till I was 16. Before that I killed A LOT of goldfish over the years *facepalm*

[jelazakazone]

This actually made me chuckle out loud. DH asked me "what?". Hee hee.

To put it another way, dogs are employees, cats are independent contractors. ("So, ah, we heard you might have some kinda vermin problem. And, ah, we could help you with that if you made it worth our while.")

[jelazakazone]

LOL. Excellent perspective :D
