I have those all over the place and have to remember to roll myself off before leaving the house. I have one in the car in case I forget and leave with a sweater front full of cat hair. We only have two but they like to jump in our laps and snuggle whenever we sit down.
I’ve surrendered to animal hair
fluffier cat hair sticks to those sticky rolls really well. What’s really annoying though is when I get something fuzzy out of the laundry and it still has cat hair on it! Or cat hair floating up with warm forced air from the vents in the winter time gets on stuff I just cleaned and hung up in the closet.
is why I’ve surrendered. I enjoy the critters. But, I hope that when they have all passed on I am smart enough to not get any more. Just replace the carpet and enjoy the lonesomeness. Lonesome is not the same as lonely
both our pair of cats had passed on, determined to have no pets and keep the new stuff pristine. The mouse infestation from hell changed all that. Besides, we need them for our blood pressure. Happiness really is a warm furry thing, trusting belly up or chin hanging over your arm, purring away.
we can’t have this conversation or you’ll sucker me into more critters. It is already really hard to go to the shelter, where I got all of mine, and walk away without one
you’ll eventually sucker yourself, no outside help required. Once you get in the habit of letting critters into your heart, resistance is futile. Uh-oh. Here comes one now. oof! Nowadays that’s a 17 pound leap into the lap. He’s not quite as svelte as in his youth but who is and he always was a pretty big guy, even at fighting trim. Did I mention how hard it is to clean all the floating cat hair out of the keyboard?
You don’t decide these things, they do. Just when you say, “No more”….
And it’s wonderful, huh.
yeah. Intelligence does not rule
Maybe medium and longhair cats have fur that’s easier to clean up, but shorthair somehow weaves its way into fabric.
dog hair so sticks well to sticky rolls. On the other hand you can sweep up dog hair. Cat hair, not so much.
Well, come to think of it, only one cat had that problem. It really was like dog hair – completely resistant to lint lifters. Of course it was gingery yellow, so nothing hid it.
and a black one for my lights.
God help you liberals . . .
We got two Maltese dogs. They are about the same size as a cat, but they don’t shed and they can’t jump up on the counter or table and eat the leftovers, and they are goofy as all get-out. They also have nice soft fur and make excellent burglar alarms.
produced this much meaningful discussion?
and on this board
the non-pet people probably couldn’t be finding this more mawkish and tedious. My dad used to visibly cringe when I showed affection to my cat in his presence. Oh well. Screw ’em.
Totally with you on the Russian music videos, though. Dave’s unflagging fascination is a little puzzling.
If someone tells you they read Pols regularly, ask them abut the videos. If you get a blank look, they don’t hit Pols regularly.
Plus they do get viewed by quite a few. They just won’t admit it 🙂
saying that, . . . but I’m finding it difficult to fault my thinking?
I doubt we’ll see another advocate in our lifetimes as passionate as Newt about the cause of establishing a permanent moon base that, once it’s inhabited by 13,000 Americans, can petition to become our 51st state.
Did Newt ever clarify whether that 51st state would be (a) just the Moon Base, or (b) the entire moon? If (b), I really may have to donate to Newt’s candidacy.
is how, in that same debate, Newt got away with not answering the question of statehood for Puert Rico . . .
. . . which begs the question, what happens if those 13,000 moon colonists happen to be Puerto Ricans? With apologies to Jason, these are the kinds of questions journalists should ask . . .
It would be worth creating an exclusively Puerto Rican colony on the moon just to watch Newt’s reaction. Also, does he imagine claiming the moon as part of the US would go over well with any of earth’s other nations, including our allies?
to see if his lunar statehood aims survive the explosion shuddering his poor brain.
Which he never bothered to mention. Deficit? What deficit? Ah, the real conservative.
lunar statehood at the same time he began talking about saving civilization and he puts that at 1957. Not just this week, that might be pandering
law yesterday reversing the district court. Sets up split circuits as the 9th pitched it. Our nine robed friends in DC will get to decide.

1) The first Student Veterans In Higher Education statewide conference met at CSU. Not only did we have great sessions for students and faculty/staff, we also managed to connect together to share info and best practices. My favorite example was all of the schools in attendance had their VA Certifying officials swap contact info, and agree to build a online library of info and best practices.
2) The 18th Judicial District will be the home of the next Veteran’s Treatment Court. Chief Judge Sylvester has designated a magistrate to oversee the court, and we start planning this operation on Monday. All info posted as we invent it!
3) And that jerkwad Strandlof is GOING TO JAIL. Between his own YouTube videos, an unwise admission on Anderson Cooper, and many many credible witnesses, I think the best he can hope for is to plead for mercy and hope the US Attorney doesn’t ask the DoJ to put him in Leavenworth Federal Pen.
WooT!
And, in a personal way, very rewarding. Congrats.
Some years ago I gave $5 to the central Repuglicon commissariat to keep up to date on their mischief:
Just got an urgent robocall from (obviously) an anti-Romney campaign (didn’t really get the “This call was brought to you by Something Something America Something”) with the “recently discovered recording” of the Mittster proclaiming in a very brisk manner his support for a woman’s right to abortion. Something about his mother campaigning for senate (huh?) on a platform of protecting a woman’s right to choose, and Mitt says, decisively, he will uphold the law of the land and protect same.
Get set, folks, the I’m-more-authoritarian-government-in-your-face-asshole-than-he-is show is coming to Colorado.
New faces at the Jeffco re-org… quite a few of them! People are stepping up to get involved, and in greater numbers than I expected to see this year.
We just completed the programming championship. Really long day but boy was it worth it. The 12 top schools in the country had teams competing to write the best code. The play-off was a computer game where the student written AIs tried to kill each other.
Out here at Mudd (where we ran the final) it was a lecture hall full of students cheering, groaning, screaming, etc. as they saw their robot do well or poorly.
And really cool to see students happy to spend the entire day on an academic effort where the only payoff is a trophy.
that’s the way to motivate programmers & that’s what makes you proud? How about cleanest code to perform a specific set of benign functions or to complete a series of puzzles or something else whereby the worthy participants don’t have to see their efforts defeated in a “kill.”
I’m sure that some of the managing committee saw to it that those types of endeavors were part of the competition (@least I hope). I’d hate to think it was all to waste young minds on a kill or be killed programming mindset (then again, that’s how young righties are made -right DT?).
It seems SoS Gessler has good company in overstating the existence of “voting fraud”.
In South Carolina, the Federal government has blocked their voter ID law as being discriminatory (SC being a state that requires pre-clearance for any changes to voting law due to past discrimination…). So last week the state’s (Republican) Attorney General claimed that more than 900 dead people had voted in the last election, and a hearing was called to discuss the problem. As proof, the AG’s office handed six (is six the magic number in “proving” vote fraud among the GOP?) names over to the Elections Commission.
The result? At the hearing, the Elections Commission was able to verify that all six supposedly fraudulent votes were valid. Most were due to poll worker error – workers marking off the wrong voter from some portion of the poll log. One was due to a guy who cast an absentee vote who then died prior to election day. None constituted vote fraud, and so far the AG’s office has been unwilling to release the rest of the 900+ names – probably because they want to preserve the appearance of “voting fraud”.
That even the overkill, “not one fraudulent vote shall pass” approach that stops valid votes failed to stop even one fraudulent vote? Inconceivable!
But a tradition is a tradition, and here it is Sunday afternoon and no hot Russian babes from David yet.
Can’t let the tradition die. May I burn in Hell for this, but…
I sure hope it’s for something a bit more serious than posting a little Slavic cheese.
that would seem rather heavy handed for God.
Was having to watch several videos all the way through. Harder still, to listen to the music. The first one I clicked on was, as they say, NSFW.
But I’ll make any sacrifice for my fellow Polsters.
And I’m sure you were “suffering” watching the NSFW ones 🙂
Because I didn’t turn down the sound.
because the beat is hard to dance to.
