How did you go about doing that? I also have no plans to have no buns in my oven and if that kind of info helps with the job hunting process, I'd like to glean from it.

Maybe you could list one of your qualifications as having had tubal ligation?

Sure sure, I can see it now:

HR:"What makes you feel you're qualified for this job?"

Woman:"I graduated from one of the top universities with honors, I'm familiar with all of the programming languages you use and I've got an excellent work ethic."

HR:"Hmm, well..I'm not sure we have a position open..."

Woman:"AND I've had a hysterectomy."

HR:"You're HIRED."

When they ask you what town you live in and about the commute, I say something like "I'd like to move to a town where the taxes are low, since we're not planning on having any kids and so I don't really care about the school district..."
Or something coversational about how my cat is a handful of trouble, I don't know how parents cope with kids...

Speaking of cats, anyone know a good way to keep a 16-week old kitten from jumping off a second-floor balcony over the dining room? I can't block off the whole area, since the older cat has her litterbox and food in the loft.

nails, or at least really long thumbtacks... superglue might work too.

Unfortunately, I believe the answer is "let the kitten try it at least once."

Shouldn't a 16 week old have reasonably good spacial perception and understand it's not a good idea? Has she done this or are you just afraid of it?

She seems to like high places -- enjoys the view. Our older cat does, too. The problem is that the kitten is growing so fast that she's relatively uncoordinated. I've seen her attempt leaps (like onto the kitchen counter, where she's not allowed!) and miss. I'm afraid she'll misjudge the leap up to the loft's railing and experience a ballistic impact with the hard floor below.

There are several firearms enthusiasts here on The Cellar; I'm sure at least one is interested in indoor furry skeet shooting...
