Absolutely the best line I have read today, “I provided a tissue.”

Roger seems to have a winning way with the animals.

The tissues line is hilarious!

I'm a cat person (will you still be my friend?) and I had the quintessential cat lady for my girl Fred when I went out of town.

I'd get long letters too -- wish I'd saved them -- with the reports of what had gone on in my absence.

And the floor would always be covered in loose catnip on my return.

The best thing about her was the fact that without fail, every time I saw her, even when I bump into her now around town, she is always, always, wearing a sweater/sweatshirt/cardigan with a cat appliqued on it.

These relationships we have with people like that are so complicated. My parents have had the same house cleaner since I was five or six. He calls them to play them concerts on his casiotone, he gives them pirated movies, he dispenses his opinions on everything any anything. After so many years they love him and they try to limit their interactions with him. When D lost his drivers license my dad started driving him half the way home, so he only had to take one bus. But. They duck his calls sometimes.

Complicated.

That's a great story.

We had a doggie caregiver in MA. What stories we had there. He was great.

The story of the cold poop still slays me. And this post makes me miss the old neighborhood.
