Unresolved

Firstly, I would like to say that I am pissed as a fart again. I just met up with some old school friends, who I haven't seen in eight years, and we had a really good time. We are going to meet up for a meal next week.

Naturally, one is pregnant (as is every single female I know of my age in real life barring my sister). So now I know two unpregnant women.

I feel so much better. End sarcasm.

The Baron is still somewhat shag-shy now that I am contraception free. Obviously, this isn't an area that he can be tricked into/forced into, but it deeply pisses me off. He has a slightly long record of saying things and then not following through (usually out of laziness) so this wasn't unexpected. I confess to be disappointed.

But I will ride it out.

Cecily kindly answered my question on declawing cats and animal rights.

I admit that I don't understand it and I don't think I will. It is partly cultural, as in we just don't do it here in the UK. Cats come with claws and that is just how it goes.

I'm not sure I would have it any other way. Apart from the fact I feel it is mutiliation, my cats just wouldn't be the same without their claws. My breasts would, since they like bare flesh, but with a toss up between intact skin and feeling their happy feet waking me up in the morning, I know what I would choose every time.

I do believe that if you want intact furniture to the point you would remove the top joint of a creatures toes, then you have no business owning said pet. That is my opinion. Of course, it doesn't necessarily make these people bad owners at all, but I simply disagree with their actions.

I would rather see cats declawed than put down for lack of a home. I really would, and I speak as someone with three rescue cats. But I stil believe that at the end of the day that cats deserve their claws.

And I am off to bed to sleep off an obscene number of double Bacardi's and Coke. Work tomorrow. Good night.

How utterly frustrating (in so many ways) that the Baron is backing down on this!

You can count me as an unpregnant friend, too.

I hope the Baron comes around soon. If not, I can kick his ass if you want.

Good luck with the Baron, men are so silly and stubborn.

I am sorry the Baron has decided against this at the moment, DMouse. I can understand your disappointment.

EVIL ONE SAYS: Between you and The Boy, The Baron is most likely petrified at the thought of having more of you around -- possibly clones, even.

I mean, just put yourself in his shoes -- TWO of you? Can you imagine?

On a more serious note: has he expressed the reasons why he is apprehensive about this?

You don't have to answer if you don't want to (yes, you do, really, you do have to answer).

Thanks, Kimmer. If I have to say congrats to anymore people, I will start dissolving my last packet of pills into the mains. My first meeting of the day was with a woman who announced she was pregnant as soon as I sat down.

Stacy, feel free to come over and beat him.

It wouldn't be so bad if there was a real reason. He just doesn't want to. I know he is overwhelmed with the idea of six cats and dog, but that seems weird. It isn't like we will wait until our numbers have decreased (I'll probably be in menopause by then anyway!).

Amy, you might just be on to something there! I'll ask him when he gets home. Having accidently walked out in front of a Mercs on Saturday, I know he is scared that my sense of road safety might be passed on........
