Proposal changes

And changes and changes and ...

Well, alright then, it keeps me busy, yes?

No RP yesterday for me at all, though a lot of teasing as the DM is threatening to run Solara into trouble. *beams* Well, I'm sure it won't be the trouble I'm expecting, but it will be fun, nonetheless. I did post her bg in there somewhere, so you know, anyone else with thoughts or comments - feel free to pipe up.

The walls look way nifty, and just wait until they're finished. I'll be quite happy about that. It'll be doing the fireplace room that will be really interesting. Probably drive us just as nuts as this paint job. ;) In any event, if we recoat the trim that was done yesterday, that's about all we can do tonight. Then we can take the tape off around that trim, and by the weekend, we can paint the trim around the blue. Which will mean that we can start putting the house back in order. Some days, I do hate waiting for paint to dry.

Taliesin chewed the power cord for the answering machine/phone that sits by the front door. Brat cat. I'm still trying to figure out if we can get a replacement for that cord, or if I just want to go to Bell Call Answer. *grumble* (Should have left him in the basement!)

And I can't help but wonder if [livejournal.com profile] arwen77 is ready for the Friday Night CluckUp Brigade to ride again.

Glad the cat didn't electrocute him/herself.

*rolls eyes*

You know, he's eaten wires to cell phone adapters, walkman earphones, the network router - I'm telling you that cat is nuts.

He's gorgeous, friendly, and has a personality like you wouldn't believe, but he just won't stop chewing wires.

We might have to encase all our wires in adamantium or something. :)

Yeah!

Actually, sad story, I have a friend whose cat was electrocuted chewing through a television power cable.

She has large-scale electrocution phobias. Like if there's a scene in a movie where someone is electrocuted, or even if someone nearby makes that buzzing noise while spasming as a joke, she has a strong phobic reflex.

I used to game with her, and this other guy who lives in our building now. He was a brontophobe. Truck backfires or other loud noises happening outside the place we were gaming forced a short break in play while he (the GM) recovered.

Ouch.

That's not happy. Poor kitty. I don't know how I'd react to that. As a bonus the phone adapter wire was not plugged in, but somehow he just doesn't seem to care. It's the small wires he likes best though. The tv wires so far he's left unscathed.

Is he maybe having gum problems?

Yeah, smaller wires = lower voltage, phew.

I don't think so. He was at the vet's in March and got a clean bill of health (and yes, the vet did check). It is unfortunately a known issue with the breed - they do tend to like to chew. They're murder on cat toys like you wouldn't believe.

Yeah, I would! My friend has a dog with the same chewing traits... they've gone through everything but street-hockey balls.

Wow.

Yup, that's good teeth!

Bengal cats seem to have the same ability, well, more or less. But they are beautiful animals. ;)

One of my sister's rabbits once ate 4 feet of lamp's power cord. It was plugged in.

Brings new thoughts to the concept of the Energizer Bunny, doesn't it?

Was the rabbit okay?

You just had to go there, didn't you?

To steal a line from Han Solo, "Hey, it's me!"

Oh, she's fine. Rabbits, in addition to being evil creatures, are also very tough.

Although after eating all that wire I think she had more in common with the copper-top than Energizer.

I'm thinking that [livejournal.com profile] arwen77 needs to share his phone number... :)

Yes. Yes he does.

I agree with that 1000% ;)
