Took Devi to the vet this morning to have the Thing in her ear looked at. Luckily, it was the most benign of possibilities: a common type of earwax gland cyst. They don't go away on their own, but as long as it isn't bugging her or blocking the ear canal, no need to do anything (though if they ever do, laser removal !) Poor Devi had her ear stabbed to get at the stuff inside, but as soon as the vet got a sample, she said we didn't even need to send it to the lab. It was a thankfully cheap visit.
She's been pretty clingy all day-she's the only one of my cats traumatized by the vet, and boy howdy, is she! Telecommuted the rest of the day since I was expecting a package....which arrived while I was at the pool. Left it for me, though.
I have to say, the Anthony case was completely off my radar until very recently. That's one fucked up family, regardless of what actually happened.
Timelies all!
Still tired from the weekend. And I need to start cleaning in preparation for my parents visiting this coming weekend.
When my car insurance ends, does the company automatically renew it, or send me a form to renew it, or do I have to call them to tell them I want to renew it? I can't find anything on their website.
Mine automatically re-ups.
They send me notice via email - I have GEICO.
I've got to renew my car registration, and that form asks for my car insurance number and when it expires, and the insurance expires in August and the insurance company hasn't contacted me about anything.
My insurance agency sends me a bill about a month ahead of time. (State Farm)
Mine re-ups automatically (Allstate) but I think that's because I have the payments automatically deducted from my checking account.
Otherwise I never remember to pay it in time.
I've got Progressive, and they'll email me my bill about 6 weeks beforehand, and then send me numerous reminders. If I don't renew by the required date, the policy expires and I have to call them to renew it.
Ugh. I wish I'd been around to support Zenkitty, but of course Buffista wisdom is awesome.
Learning how to deal with manipulative behavior like that made life a lot easier for me. Rather than trying to figure out if I'd misled the other person, or wondering about their motives, I started focusing on what is right for me. Period.
Discomfort is discomfort, regardless of the intention on either side.
Regardless of whether signals were missed as harmless flirting turned into aggressive behavior, the behavior was inexcusably intrusive on that guy's part.
Not to get too deep into it, but this pushes my 'You can dress however you like' button. It can't be your fault when the other person steps over a line.
I don't care if this guy lives the porn film life where the characteristic boom-chicca-bow-bow soundtrack plays in the background and lonely women invite him to check their 'vents,' He's a professional who is there to do a job.
Please Zen, when you are ready, write to the company. As others said with more eloquence, he should not be putting anyone, much less you, in this position.
Bah!
