wow. faniversary.

In all the weirdness of the past week, I forgot: May 9 was my fifteenth anniversary of participating in organized fandom. Yup, old fangirl is old. Does this qualify me as a geezer, old-schoolers? *g* It's been an amazing and overwhelmingly positive experience, despite the occasional bump in the road. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along.

Glad to hear everything turned out ok! I'm wanting to try the Walmart OTC flea treatment that's supposed to work as good as Frontline, but I'm afraid to use it on my cat that's allergic to ALL THE CHEMICALS. I guess I'll stick to vaccuuming all the time and dusting her. *SO FRUSTRATING*

*hugs* I hear you. I have a date with the Dyson later myself. Thank you so much for telling me about diatomaceous earth, though. It's been a tremendous help! :)

I'm glad it's working! You might want to dust around the outside of your house, too. Like along the porch/ in front of the doors, etc, so you aren't bringing anything in.

*nods* I've been dusting the back porch, which is the main door I use and where the feral kitties get fed. I even managed to get some on them. Hopefully it will keep new critters from getting inside.

Lovely to hear your babies are doing so much better. I know what that's like, believe me.

But as for fannish geezerhood . . .

Speaking from the distance of my fortieth year of fanac . . . you're adorable, but not a geezer. :-)

Long may you wave!

Well, damn. I really wanted my Geezer Pin. *g* *hugs*

[klangley56]

Your pin should say: "Best Thing to Happen to Fandom in the Last Fifteen Years!"

But that would be a very cumbersome pin to wear . . .

It would make great skywriting, though. :-)

*hugs you again* You are always so good to me. Thanks, sweetie. :)

Kitty momming!

Always. It's a lifelong gig. :)

It is so true, isn't it? If a vet is needed, we pay and wworry how we're to live later. Small price to pay for all they give us.

Really glad yours are doing well.

[lanning]

Thanks, hon. :)

Glad the babies are doing better. Mine have had their latest dose of frontline. Joy :)

As for fandom..... Happy Anniversary.

And as a reader thank you for all the wonderful stories.

[lanning]

*hugs* Thank you for reading them!

My vet was actually running low on Frontline, it's such a flea epidemic this year. Mild winters are not good for vermin control.
