Good night Reader xo

Cute avi, tim(mie)

Ugh. Everything's so noisy. Puppy's running round the living room all anxious cause my flatmate is tidying in the kitchen and in her room and puppy isn't allowed in. She has separation anxiety. And her toys are noisy. And flatmate is listening to music. I never realised how much I enjoy silence until I couldn't have it anymore. I mean, can't she ever just read or something?

You can certainly go there. AC wanted it to remain open just for that reason.  We used to get a lot of non-poets visiting Live Poets before they made it into a club .. now it's not visited so much, likely for the same reasons you dont want to go there.

 

He wanted it open so people could explore and look if they felt like it .. not locking us into some closet away from every one.

@BHopper2 I’m not a poet - obviously - but I do like to go there once in a while to read and check out other things/ideas have been posted. It’s an interesting trek, so you should certainly stop by and explore it for yourself.

I like silence, a lot, so I know what your saying Thorn. Poor Puppy...

She's adorable, but my flatmate really isn't doing a very good job of training her. She doesn't do firm. And people seem to think that you don't need a firm hand with a small dog. Couldn't be further from the truth...

When it was a forum space I would check it out more often, and some of my shitty poetry is on a couple of prompt responses. Then just stopped going, unless someone pointed out something. When it became the club, just more avoidance and rarely go even when someone points out a link.

Evening all.  Long day and tomorrow will be longer. Need to load horses @ 4 am to have them to a show on time.

Yeah, we have an LG tv, and stereo thing .. and we looked at stoves today and our fav was an LG ..LOL

Gas stove or electric?  If electric get a sealed flat glass top.  Soooooo easy to keep clean!

Induction stoves are all the rage here now. My ex's parents had one that could boil a litre of water in nine seconds.

yeah .. our apartment provides a stove but they aren't very well insulated or self-cleaning so Michael had one, when i arrived on the scene.  We're thinking it maybe time to get a new one

That's what I have in my house. At higher elevation, it's great for speeding up the boiling time.

All of this is why I prefer living by myself.  

 

And have cats.

I have a cat. I never wanted a dog. Sigh... Can't afford to live by myself, though.

Ugh.  Dogs are just too much work.  I don't have time to walk it and pick up it's crap and keep it from destroying everything in its path.

 

Plus,  I work a lot and when I am home, I just wanna sit back and relax with my two little demons if they're not upstairs plotting world domination (because that's all cats do when they're just sitting there, staring at nothing.)

My dog never destroyed a thing. They are a lot of work, but i never minded the effort. He meant a lot to me.

I know I'd be lost without Thistle. He's been my reason to get out of bed on many a morning when the pain has been bad. And watching him with his gifts on Christmas was like watching a little kid.

they can be a lot of work in the beginning, but if you put in the time to raise them right, train them up then they are great companions

as one of mine lays down with his chin on my leg

as for cleaning up after them, it's easier to use a pooper scooper than clean a litter box i think

Thistle has only ever chewed two things he shouldn't have. The ear piece on my old pair of glasses (I sanded down the rough edges and wore them, he hadn't damaged the lenses) and one of an old pair of slippers that then became his.
