The neighborhood cats are shitting around my front door. Especially aggravating, since I keep MY cats inside.

Is there anything I can do to make them go elsewhere?

In parking lots, I hate it when people sit and wait for people to pull out; blocking everyone else. What if those people they're waiting for aren't ready to leave?

Don't be lazy--find another parking spot, and MOVE YOUR ASS!

Just tap politely on their window and say, "You've got 5 seconds to move or I'll buttfuck you in the mouth".

Well, read the other 45 pages, maybe that will help.

Hiya Morgan, try the "What's making you happy" thread.

Irritating: Mildly successful unemployment. Freelancing is a fucking roller coaster.

U-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p.DOWWWWWWWWN!

U-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p--p--p--p--p--p--p--p--p--p--p-pp--p--pp--p---DOWWWN!

And so forth.

The "up" part is supposed to become longer. ;-)

We'll see.

Welcome Morgan!

Forgive me for saying but this is a distinctly odd thread to start with :P

@ THE: OUt of interest, what line of work do you freelance in?

I agree with THE. Freelancing can be brutal.

Or you could do like me, go back to college and only kinda-sorta freelance when there's time. Completely halfheartedly.

Actually it's funny; at first, registering for classes made the clients call me. Something about being busy making us even busier, you know? It's slowed down now, but I console myself by planning to re-launch next fall. I might even change my cheesy business name.

Oh, get this, I did just get an e-mail from a client, so it looks like they're giving me a little project for Christmas. Probably writing about tile or cabinets again.

What's irritating me today? I have to go to the grocery for Christmas food. Bah. I don't even know what I'm going to serve yet. Ham and what else?

There is a 'keep cats inside' policy here but some people that have always allowed their cats outside will continue to do so and take advantage of the new managements youth. I sort of understand if you have allowed your cats outside but this was an annoyance to me too last summer.

What I did was keep the soil moist if I could but mostly I put orange peel or sprinkled cloves on the ground if I could find them cheap. That seemed to work. I have read you can lay out a netting on the ground also. There was something else I did too but I can't think of it right now.
