OT The Pink Toenails of Shame

Hello Nightmist, Well what would DH think if he was walking around barefooted with his toenails painted too. Laughing here. Sandy$

oooh, he is probably mad he has had to turn in his "man-cat card" with new pink toenails.

Hoping the house effort continues moving forward!

G> So the bank needed to copy some more papers, thus I was poking about in m

y file drawer. After getting everything found and sorted, and everything e ls back where it belonged, I closed the drawer. Completely forgetting how attractive the space behind the drawer is to cats and how sneaky they are a bout getting in there whenever it is opened.

howl and opened the drawer Jericho came out. In a complete and total panic , over the top of the files instead of out the back hole that is made when the drawer opens.

and gauze and tape and such. It was just scratches, a bit of blood welled up and it welted in a couple of spots, but it is not like I needed stitche s or anything. In fact I think the bruising from the tape is worse than th e scratches. DH took on like I had been attacked by a leopard.

ying to chew them off. We have had a lot of yodeling with a particularly pa thetic edge to it. Jiji keeps coming up and sniffing Jericho's feet and gi ving him that "Dude!" look.

I am not sure how much longer I can stand to let the covers stay on. The p oor kitty-man is going bonkers with them. Watching him trying to use the s cratching pad with those things on is beyond sad. I think Jiji chan not ha ving to wear them is just insult to injury.

The hunt is on. I heave been trying to get DD3 to understand that she may have to resign herself to getting a license and driving to work herself. S he has been hoping to find something close enough that she can stick to her carpool or at any rate jump to another. Somebody sent me a link to a foreclosure that just makes me want to cry. 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, nearly 3k square feet, on 74 acres, bank has dr opped the listing price below 90K and is willing to negotiate. The place h as been abandoned for a couple of years, and they never cleared it out, som e of the rooms are literally knee high in junk. A derelict trailor and a f alling down corrugated barn are also on the property. You can see in the pi ctures that the roof edges and the soffits are shot, plus there is some obv ious damage to the interior. It would cost more to fix than we could affor d at what the taxes will be after the first year, they got an agreement fro m the township to drop the taxes to 1/3 for the first year of new ownership . Even with the property tax freeze and cap in this state, 74 acres is not tax cheap! You have to wonder what the people who had the place were to leave it so. Did they just jump out of bed one night and run off? were they hauled off t o jail? What the heck happened? The mess makes one rather suspect jail. The only time I have ever seen that sort of mess was after the police finis hed with a house after a friend's DH was arrested.
