Fuck. Way bad day.
Just got informed that my littlest patient from Rainbow, a 5 week old black kitten with white socks got eaten by racoons.
Here's the story, cause this is a major FUCK to me right now...

A kitten was riding on the shoulders of a brother, and I called him over to see his kitty. He said the cat was not his, but had been deliberately abandoned, after having been grossly abused by his owners (adult sized tablet of anti-diaretic up the cats butt!). Because I lived and breathed C.A.L.M. (Center for Alternative Living Medicine -- the medical camp for the Gathering), I took the kitty off his hands. It was a long night of getting that cat re-hydrated, un-tramatized, and fed. Way long night. On several days, the other Calm staff helped me take care of him, as he was a legitimate patient. (I don't care if someone brings a sick ferret in, we'll take care of it. That's just the way we are.) Needless to say, a lot of caretaking emotional energy went into that little guy.

Cat Master Don took over the kitty, and he named him Rodent (no really, I didn't prompt him or nuthin). By the end of the event, Rodent was lively, happy and well loved by Don's other road-kitty Boo-boo. Rodent went home with him, and I've been checking up on my littlest patient ever since.

Today I was told that the racoons got him.

Fuck.

A good friend of mine installed a beautiful little pond in his backyard. He's a pro landscaper and arborist and the pond is beautiful with its little Japanese maples draping over the side and moss all over the place. Unfortunately, the raccoons kept showing up at night to get at the goldfish and would insist on totally trashing the place. Plants (in big pots) turned over, good-sized rocks dislodged, the moss all ripped up and kicked around; it was amazing how they seemed to go out of their way to fuck things up. So my friend got one of those box-trap type thingies (safe) and set it up with cat food as bait. The raccoons just tipped it over and got the cat food. Next night, the trap is staked down. The 'coons just walk all around it. Same next night. And the next. Then, bingo! He catches the mother of all raccoons. A whopper! The one that's been doin' all the fuckin' shit up. He takes the mother of all raccoons to the large campus where he works which adjoins a large greenbelt; and releases it. A greenbelt which a certain fox couple calls home...

Two days later, he finds the hollowed-out carcass of mama racoon.

Chalk one up for the fucking fox.

can you blame them?


my best pre-playa injury was last year. Degree 4 shoulder separation with a SLAP tear. Moments after the incident I felt what turned out to be my collar bone poking up way above my shoulder and thought 'that's a big bruise'. A few moments later I had a friend check it out. 'This doesn't seem right to me. What do you think?' She touched it and I blacked from the pain. I guess I picked a bad year to take up fire spinning.

:cry: Aw, MAN, robbidobbs, that is sad! Fuck! I never even met Rodent, and I feel bad about that! :(

Racoons may look cute, but they can be dangerous. The dumpster behind my apartment has had some really large and destructive racoons in it. Some nights I have woken up to hear them fighting, and they sound really nasty.


Injury-wise, as near as I can tell my ankle troubles come from when I was weight lifting a few years back and banged my left ankle into a dumbell I had set down on the floor. At the time it hurt quite a bit, but then seemed to feel better, so I finished the workout. Slowly, over the next few weeks, my ankle started bothering me more and more. I saw doctors and stuff, but it has never actually competely healed. :(

fucking PM, etc...

Post by buckethead alien » Thu Aug 05, 2004 12:20 am

Fucking PM is holding onto outgoing messages.

Also: fucking looks like the domestic situation may preclude my attending BM this year. I don't even know whether it's worth hoping at this point. I guess it's a good thing that I didn't start sewing those new furry pants.

Also: I fucking rescued some fucker from the surf yesterday and am freaked a little from the memory. I was a lifeguard years ago and never had an actual save. Now this. Just like in the fucking movies.

Oh, and did i mention it's 3 a.m. and I have a fucking headache?

How's that for FUCK, eh?

I hear you. I've fucking trashed so many of my joints. By 16 I had both wrists in splints and couldn't write my schoolwork. It's better now, some, but it meant that playing viola as much as i wanted/needed to for where i was going was impossible. And that was after the fucking knees wentout years before. Fucking repetetive stress injuries.

Fuck, coworkerlurker! You finally fuckin' showed up! Now you can quit stalking me and fuckin join the fun legitimately!

Just testing the PM thing.

Also- just don't expect too much from me here. My post count will probably stay so low that people will suspect me of being a sock for a long time. Rumors might even start that I'm your sock. Except the writing style would probably give it away. That Rian, though, she's pretty talented, and quite capable of assuming a different writing voice...

Go ahead, out me on this one if you wish, but it won't do you any good.

Fuck. What the fuck. Trying to ruin my fucking eplaya reputation, or what of it I haven't already wrecked.

Down on Lake Washington my friend is freaking out, up here in my building i'm getting fucking tunnel vision and i can't even fucking leave here for two and a half hours. I'm feeling fucking sick to my stomach and my chest hurts and it makes me fucking dizzy. All the while the people are cheering for militarism! Halle-fuckin-luia.

I HATE PTSD.

Fuck! I am glad we don't get that (much) here! Fuck all of this "Homeland Security" B.S.! Don't people realise that freedom and democracy are supposed to be risky?!! If the founders of the U.S.A. had wanted security above all else, they would have made the country some sort of dictatorship, monarchy, or some other, much more authoritarian form of government!!! :evil:

Joel - what time do you get up? You always seem to be here really fucking early, and my dogs wake me up at the most evil hour. Fuck, sometimes, I just want to sleep in.

If the early bird gets the worm, what does the early eplayan get?

I want to fucking sleep in too...

Ufortunately, my Germanic background doesn't allow for it...

If you here that enough times, you wake up early so you don't have to hear spoken again.

Well.... It's a great fucking morning in Portland... the sun is shining... it must be; the overcast is giving off some light, so there has to be something bright up above it, right? Right?

I have a headache...

Fuck. I just took a break from mowing the lawn and I went back outside to discover that the fucking lawnmower was on fire. Fuck. Now I'll probably have to take the thing apart to get the fire extinguisher dust out of the air intake.

Lost my job today. Effective the 4th of September. For "misuse of leave" ie using too much sick leave to stay at home and take care of a mentally ill family member.
Have the choice of resigning or getting terminated. Called the EDD to ask what my benefits would be if I did the 2nd. They have no record of my working for the past 18 months. Sure, of course the Franchise Tax Board knew all about it.

That is Fucked..I am sorry..

what would be the difference between resigning or getting terminated?

Isn't the rule that you can collect unemployment either way?(once things get straightened out with EDD).

"Misuse of Leave" sounds like they were looking for a reason to get rid of you and that is unfortunate, may their Karma come back on them 10 fold in the form of a small comet smashing them to little bitty pieces durng the Christmas Pot Luck.
