For background, 1) abrakapokus is currently puppy sitting for a friend of hers, and when I say puppy, I mean like less than 8 weeks. 2) I cleaned out the outside trash cans at the house yesterday because they had gotten nasty, so there are two bags sitting outside temporarily until the cans dry.The bags are about five feet from the front door. 3) I leave for work at about 5:20 AM when it is currently full dark. 4) The cat's name is Doom Kitty. She stays outside. She's a black cat. She's an asshole.
For the story, I was leaving for work this morning. Going out the door, I am precariously balancing my lunch, my shoes (they had a bunch of grass on them and I didn't want to wear them walking through the house) and some stuff I have to return to Wal-Mart today while also shutting the door and keeping the puppy for making a break for it. I manage to get the door shut then I hear a rustling by the bags. I at first worry that the puppy has successfully escaped until I am 99% sure I hear it whine from behind the door. I then assume it's Doom Kitty because the shape making the rustling is black as best as I can tell and DK is the kind of asshole who would claw up trash bags to piss me off. This assumption comes crashing down when I see DK walking toward the house from the driveway. I almost instantly recognize a stripe of white within the black that is messing with my trash bags that are five feet from me. Panic mode ensues as I have to decide whether the best course of action to avoid getting sprayed is to slowly creep toward the car as to not startle the skunk or run like hell and hope it misses/I get out of range/it doesn't think I'm a threat. I choose run like hell and make it from my front door to the front seat of my car in approximately three seconds. I then realize I left my tea on the counter in the kitchen, but I am not going back for it with a skunk there and a locked door in between me and the kitchen. The plus side to this encounter is that I was fully awake for the drive to work which is always nice.

Holy shit, dude. That's no joke. That smell doesn't come off for DAYS. I don't care how many stories you heard about such and such working...it doesn't. I've tried them all.
When I was in high school, we lived on ~20 acres. So there was a decent amount of wildlife. A skunk ended up making its home somewhere near our house. One of our dogs, is...well, not the brightest. You would think getting sprayed by a skunk once would be enough to teach anything. Not this dog. She must have been sprayed at LEAST 4 times that I can remember. It was like she'd actively go out looking for the skunk.
The one remedy that seemed to work the best involved hydrogen peroxide and maybe baking soda? Don't remember. It helped, but the smell as still there.
So good job on avoiding the skunk, that's treacherous stuff! I bet your office would have made you take sick days or something, no way you could be in the office.
I will say though, a slight skunk odor on the road isn't too bad. But that's just the stoner in my talking You can always spot a smoker if they aren't immediately repulsed by a faint skunky aroma.

And that puppy is too damn cute.
For sure. The other issue is that the lady is coming into town this weekend. The last thing I need is to reek like skunk the entire weekend. If it would have sprayed me, I would have had to beat it to death on principle.

Haha. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some people throw up if they get sprayed directly. And at that point, your brain just shuts down and makes you go:
We could start an OC fan fiction thread...not that I've thought of this before...
Wasn't 50 Shades of Grey originally a Twilight fan fiction?
Yes it was, she didn't find it plausible that Belle and Whatever his name is, wouldn't have sex until they were married. So she wrote really bad, not good porn that is horribly written, and hard to read due to the writing. The third book was the worst, and they flash-forward past shit you want to know about.
My cat used to always need on my belly right before I went to sleep. He did it so long it became a nighttime ritual. After he passed away my wife's cat is starting to need on her belly right before she goes to sleep. She never did that before.

the cat is possessed by the spirit of the dead cat!!!

Hulu just announced they will offer a $12 a month ad-free streaming subscription. And Amazon Prime said they'll let people download shows/movies to watch offline on their devices.

WOW. And ad-free Hulu could change a lot for me (and, you know, everyone else).

I've never used Hulu, does it offer current shows?

It does and is taking on the other players on the movie side of the house now as well.

Hulu is like the brainchild of the popular networks. It is basically all the current shows (and you get them a day or a week after the air on TV...depending on the show I think).
The ads on Hulu has been one of the main reasons I never wanted to sign up for it. I don't want to pay and still see ads. I love Netflix and Amazon Prime for straight up streaming without interruptions.
My coworker who bakes brought in some amazing molasses cookies today. She made them this morning. So. Freaking. Good.
Really struggling to stop at one cookie.
Don't stop at one cookie. Unless there is a certain dress you will need to be able to fit into.
Haha. We're about a month out. Every time I put something in my mouth I think about the zipper on the back of my dress... Maybe I'll have one for lunch.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I'm surprised no one has made a joke about booking that hotel because Bacon will need protection from me. Y'all are slacking.
Or maybe we just don't think he needs the protection from you anymore. Maybe we're starting to doubt your interest in our boring band enthusiast. You should probably up your game for a little bit.
I, for one, was surprised it didn't happen right away
I'm sorry in advance for whatever will be coming your way
Related, I totally had a dream about Bacon and smellycat last night. Most of the details have faded by now, but he and I definitely were on stage for a super intimate MMJ performance. We were sitting down and I had to make sure my legs were tucked in or they would've knocked into Jim. Unfortunately, I fell asleep during the performance. I felt very guilty... <insert lost details> Later that night, Bacon and Smelly slept together (literally slept- they shared a bed) and I because very jealous. As it turns out, the point was to make me jealous. How rude of the two of you.
