Hello Readers,
I have had to temporarily make the first chapter of Driven a private post because I went back in this morning to do a simple edit on a misspelling of Diana's name and immediately lost all my formatting. Unfortunately, it's the start of the workday and I don't have time to fix it all right now. I'll do it tonight. I wish LJ would hurry up and fix their rich text problems because I can't edit anything if I'm going to lose my formatting the second I hit the edit button.
In other news, we seem to have our annual rodent infestation. Normally it happens in September, but this year the rats are starting early. I had an exterminator here on Monday, and he's coming back on Thursday morning to check a couple of traps he set in my long, narrow crawlspace. I'm not squeamish when it comes to dealing with rats and mice, but I do NOT want to encounter any rats, dead or alive, when I'm at the back of a long, narrow crawlspace!
I hate rats. They're not getting any cheezits.
Annual rodent infestation? Are they returning from holiday and getting their fall/winter digs together? Those bad rats. I am afraid of wild rats but I guess it could be worse.
I'm sorry about the lj formatting issues. I'm looking forward to reading 'Driven.'
I've heard female cats are better mousers. Can your Sophie hunt?
I believe this is true about female cats. I babysit for a red tabby named Ruby and she is a fierce huntress. Mice, large birds, small birds (some of which she eats, some she just dispatches).
If Sophie was an outdoor kitty, she would also be a fierce huntress. But she does a good job with any bugs that stray inside the house. *yuck*
I think Fluffy is just too pretty to hunt! :D
Could you create them for me? I already know the one for italics. How many are there that I need to know? Because when I look at my post in html style, it seems there is essential code and non-essential code, like all the characters it apparently takes to make one apostrophe. Not essential. But paragraph line breaks? Essential. Except when they're not, which they sometimes seem not to be! However, I'm hopeful that I can learn this.
What do you mean you're a lifetime supporter of a jungle cat?
This place rescues large cats from zoos who are closing or they just don't want them anymore or in Tarzan's case - from a breeder. I'm very excited. He will stay in his house, and we go to him to bring him treats and goodies. Perfect for a cat - wouldn't want to inconvenience him.
