Nope. I think this dictionarily defined diversion came from a typo of Marichiko's.

My solutions to this situation are
1) get a pet
2) learn to play a musical instrument
3) have a good cry
Perhaps one or more of these would work for you, too?

She sure is a cutie. I wish her good luck and healing for her emotions. Bless you, Kitty, the puppy dog, bless you. :apaw: And, peace.

I'm already getting the best dog on earth . ;)

Have you consulted with Rikki Tikki Tabby about this new addition to the family (if RTT starts playing around with a crochet needle I'd get a bit worried, if I were you....)

:lol2: :notworthy

I have hidden all my crochet hooks for the duration, although I did find the beginnings of a mysterious afgan which I promptly disposed of in the nearest police call booth!

Actually, one reason I picked Rikki is that he came from a household which includes two dogs, so I'm hoping he will not be too stunned when the puppy arrives. I've raised puppies and kittens together and never had a problem. It can be difficult when an adult animal must suddenly cope with a member of the opposite species. I think the two young 'uns will sort it out, though. If not, there's always the crochet hooks!

Fired yesterday afternoon.

Aftershocks to follow.

Oh my word - really sorry to hear that.
Good luck for everything to follow.

Wow, BigV. That sucks!

Want to talk about it?

Hang in there.

Really man, hang in, you're one of the good guys so stay cool, all will work out in time.

Good luck V, I hope this turns out to be a good thing for you.

Oh, BigV--I am so sorry. Change is so very difficult, but, for me, even when it's been a horrible bitch, it's been GOOD (in hindsight--)

---look. This sucks so much--right at Christmas. We are here for you. UT is right-you ARE a good guy. Chin up.

Wow, V. That's harsh - right before the holidays. Your profile says computer wrangler. Is this going to be a big deal for you, or is it just a matter of polishing up the resume?

Chin up brother.

WHAT? Oh, my God! I am so sorry! Your employer must be an idiot. Tell us who you worked for so we can send them anonymous hate mail. What a rotten thing to do right before Christmas! The jerks could have waited until December 26th, anyhow. Oh, too bad! :eek:
