Psycho died today. She hasn't been doing too good since the miscarriages. It looked like she was at first but she was just too old. I've had her for at least 12 years at my best guess and she was full grown when I found her. I know cats don't live as long in the wild so she might have used up some of her nine lives already by the time I found her but I was still hoping she'd live longer.

I watched her until she went to sleep last night then went to sleep myuself and at 7:30 am I was woke up by this strange sound . It was her. I picked her up in my arms and less than a minute later she was dead in my arms.

RIP baby . I'll miss you. All pain is over now.

Psycho turned out to have yet another kitten in her. We didn't have a clue . I kept checking on her since she wasn't recovering as quickly as she was the last time and I was worried about her . I thought there was a good chance I'd have to take her to the nearest open vet(which on a Sunday might not be anywhere) and beg them to help her and set up a payment plan .

She seemed sluggish and I was checking to see if she was dripping anything and spotted feet sticking out of her. I woke up my mother ,grabbed a pair of exam gloves that were in the emergency kit and she pulled the dead kitten and the afterbirth out(she was a nurse for 20 years) while I held Psycho's head down where she couldn't bite us. The kitten is now buried in the flower bed with it's siblings.

Tomorrow, jury duty. Which will use up all my gas because the place is about 30 miles away . If the way this week is going is a trend, I'll oversleep and get arrested for dodging jury duty.

Psycho had another dead kitten today. We were pretty sure she would since she was showing signs that something was going on for a few days. We can't afford to get her fixed (and it might be risky since she's so old). If we had the money I'd get the 2 male cats fixed(cheaper and less invasive).

Unfortunately there's no programs around here to spay and neuter animals cheaply and they really need some since so many let thier animals run loose . Any place that would be cheaper (like taking them to the humane society to get fixed) would cost so much to get to and back and then there and back to pick them up (there's no one hour neutering) that it would actually be cheaper to get it done locally (and that's way too much).

Does anybody know of any programs that would pay for neutering at a local vets?

My cat Psycho is minimum 12 years old at best guess because we've had her for 10 years and she was fully grown when we got her.

We've managed to keep her from getting pregnant by our other cats for a decade but last time either the 3 year old cat managed to knock her up (he's shorter than her so he would have to fight his instinct to bite her neck but he's smart so it's possible) or the possibly 6 month old kitten suddenly hit puberty.

She didn't look pregnant because she's had a saggy belly the entire time we've had her and she was acting crazy all day so we thought she was in heat (also yesterday she was overly affectionate and sometimes she does this before she goes into heat , it's also a sign of impending labor) . She kept attacking the kitten for getting in the closet (I think that's where she planned to nest) and she tried to chew on my ankle after I messed up the nest trying to see if she'd had a kitten in there and left it different than she had it and then she wrapped herself around my ankle and tried to scratch and chew in a circle (the kitten does this sometimes but his claws and teeth aren't nearly as painful) . She was bleeding a little so i was looking up info and then suddenly there was a kitten and afterbirth at my feet.

Unfortunately the kitten was born dead with an apparant broken neck . Probably because she had been trying to give birth all day or because of the wrestling fight she got into with the kitten.

I buried the kitten in the flowerbed (no flowers are in it) as deep as I could using what I had available (an ice cream scoop ) so that no animals would dig it up.

RIP Psychokitty's baby. I wish you had survived .

On friday the 27th at 4:44pm saying that

Every free account with Photobucket is allotted 10 GB of monthly
bandwidth and our records show that you have less than 3 GB of
bandwidth left to your account.

What seemed like a second later I got this

You have exceeded the 10 GB monthly bandwidth limit on your free
Photobucket account. As such, your image and video links have been
temporarily disabled. Your images and videos have not been deleted but
will be reactivated on the 23rd of the month, when your bandwidth
usage resets to zero.

My first thought was that it was a phishing attempt or someone had hacked my account. Both proved false which leaves HOTLINKING as the cuprit. Now this is a bit of internet rudeness I don't understand. If you want to use an image somewhere you save it to your hard drive , create a free photobucket account and then do what you have to do to show it off. That's what I did and how I got the images in the first place (someone posted them and offered to to others as long as we didn't hotlink, I didn't make them)and then link to that. It's simple , polite and takes less than 30 minutes plus it doesn't use up anyone's bandwidth and if that person pays for thier bandwidth it amounts to stealing from them. I've had my photobucket account for 2 years and this is the only time this has happened. I suspect the views that say they are originating from myspace are to blame since I never posted any pictures on myspace.

I had to set my journal to allow comments from friends only since twice now in a few days I've gotten spam in Russian no less (I had to use Babelfish to verify that the second one was spam).

In case you don't know and get spam too, when you delete a comment there's a box to tick to mark it as spam and notify livejournal about it.

Please help me win these

to help me win an ipod nano vote here

http://apps.facebook.com/contestshq/contests/85896/voteable_entries/14819523?order=recency

my odds are 1 in 20 with this one since it looks like entries are closed (or will be at the end of today) and there are only 20 entries.

to help me win a monitor I could never afford (the grand prize monitor is 1100) and 2cd and 3rd place will get you a 600 monitor.

http://apps.facebook.com/contestshq/contests/80235/voteable_entries/14338785

I figure my odds to be 1 in 29 once you delete the people who didn't follow the rules at all (take a photo of your monitor setup). If they also deleted the people who already have the same brand monitor or already have more than one it would be even better. But I really doubt they'll do that.

Thanks for any help!

Please vote for me so that I can win a new monitor.

http://apps.facebook.com/contestshq/contests/80235/voteable_entries/14338785

Votes can be made daily through Jan 28th.

I've looked through the entries and I definitely have the most need for an upgrade. I'm the only one that has duct tape on thier monitor plus the driver incompatibility occassionaly gives me the blue screen and I have to reboot.

I entered a contest to win a new monitor . The contest has you take a picture of your monitor setup and then people vote on it and the tope vote gets a nice monitor and the 2 and 3 rd place entries get slightly smaller monitors.

My entry is here.
http://apps.facebook.com/promotionshq/contests/80235/voteable_entries/14338785?ogn=facebook

You can vote once a day through January 28th. Please vote at least once. The monitor I have has a driver that seems to be incompatible with the system sometimes because it's very old and messus up the picture and it has to reboot.

There is a link to the other entries and if you choose to vote for someone else please only vote for people who have clunky crt monitors . We need the upgrade. People with multiple monitors or nice looking ones already don't need it as much. And the ones who didn't post a picture of thier montor setup like the rules say will probably be disqualified once the voting ends .

Thank you for your time.

I'm selling this electric guitar autographed by the punk band The Vibrators on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290501300550&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

I won it 5 years ago (and the autographs are dated have 2005 next to the names) and I've never played both from lack of knowledge and an amp.

If you are or know someone who's interested please check in on it. It's listed at 400 . I'd keep it but I really need the money . I was already behind on the rent when the car blew it's heater core and started sending antifreeze steam through the vents (not good for your lungs) . Luckily I had a cousin who was able to bypass it so the car still works, I'll just have to bundle up when driving when it's cold.
