I have a little trick for you, Lou. Whenever you need to get an animal to poop (or pee) slowly whistle a tune, as low a whistle as you can. It sounds insane, but I learned this while a groom/hotwalker/exercise girl at a thoroughbred race farm. (Yes, long story, was thin, loved animals, almost became a jockey before I almost became a nun. lol) The low whistle relaxes them and whenever we had to get poop samples to check for worms, we did it to each horse and voila! Poopies! Same with my cats. Whenever I had to get a sample for the vet for their annual visit, if they had not gone yet, I closed myself in with my cat in the bathroom where their box was. They would go into the box, sometimes turn around several times and even meow and then the digging began! Poop! Other times I would stay outside the door and whistle a slow, low tune and once again, poop! Just don't do it when they are somewhere you don't want them to poop. Hehehe. Of course sometimes I got silly and when walking by the bathroom while my husband was in there, I would start to whistle and he would tell me to get away from him. lol

Bet ya never expected to hear this advice on Specktra!

lol Happy to impart my wisdom on poop at any time. Hehehe..... Serioulsy, it works. The first time I was told this I thought the trainer was insane. Til I tried it. And it worked for each horse. And cat. Unbelievable! Except it is actually on the internet and it reminds me that we did whistle to get the horse to pee too, right before we cleaned the stall so they would not do it right afterwards. I had forgotten that part because that was not what I was hired to do at that farm. I did a lot of grooming, hotwalking and exercising the layups from the track.

"You may have seen people gently whistle at a horse to make it pass urine. Most don't know why this works."

But I was told it relaxes them. Who knows!

And kitty fix on YouTube? Yay! Lily Moo in action!

this video will appear on the blog later but i thought i'd link you lovely ladies up now so you can see Lily!



she is nbow using her litter tray which is excellent! we're still not letting her in the bedroom just in case though. she also had a great night and once again there was no crying. she has settled in so well. she absolutely loves Dyaln too. she follows him around all day long! i think he likes her because he keeps trying to play. but the problem is because he's so big when he rolls on the floor with her he practically squashes her! i also think it was a good thing to get a kitten - Dylan has really relaxed and isn't as naughty as he was before!


have a great week guys!

 

[Miss QQ]

Debi - great that you sold some of the tarots! More money for makeup!

Lou - watched the video! Lily moo is a darling! Your mac palette is gorgeous! I love lucky green too. Your palette reminds me that I haven't been using Birds & Berries enough. I don't like the colour on me and I don't know what to pair it with. I don't have Dame's Desire, but I'll try to pair it with purples. Do you apply B&B at the outer lid and DD on the lid? What about the inner lid?

I'm so pleased you like her! she really is a sweetie! and if you don't have dames desire you could use stars and rockets or another purple perhaps? and i use the birds and berries in thye crease and then the pruple colour all over my lid rather than doing anything seperate on the inner lid. it still looks pretty and doesn't take very long to do. And how perfect is lucky green?! people don't understand how beautiful it is until they play with it

 

[ElvenEyes]

Oh, she is so cute! Listen to her little meow and her purring! She is so tiny! I love cats! lol May I come over and play?? Her bed is so nice and soft looking! And that palette must get a lot of use from you! I love Dame's Desire with that teal and the Hypnotizing one. I wish they would re-promote them instead of putting out so many LE collections. I want them!!

Oh, and the money I made is mostly to pay off the berry bag, as I had not planned to buy both, but I always find a way to sneak in more MU and need to post a haul, which I thought I did yesterday but apparently never hit send! Duh!

 

[Miss QQ]

Yup she is tiny! And she looks so cute even when she is sleepy and sleeping. I will look out for your haul posts every now and then. Seeing all the makeup lined up always make me happy. Lou - I will experiment with all shades of purple I have to see which one work with B&B. Thanks for the ideas! I forgot to say blues also stain me. The blue es from UD, Alice, from Alice in wonderland, stained my lids the most! I use a base and the stain is still strong. I haven't been wearing lucky green much too. Time to put it in the limelight again!

I love seeing makeup all lined up too! And how weird that blue shadows stain us! I have no idea why it happens. blue nail polishes stains me too! and my fingers as i remove the polish! not good at all! And let me know which purples work for you with b&b!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Blue e/s has never stained me, but n/p has and then it looks like I have dead nails. Oddly purple does not stain me. I read that if you wipe your nails off with a whitening toothpaste the stain on your nails will come right off, so next time my Colgate is coming into a new use!!

I can't keep up with the MAC collections either. In the short time I have been buying MAC (not even a year yet) they seem to be putting out more each month. I forget them or ignore them out of frustration, but just zipped over and bought 7 of the new creme supremes (or whatever they are callled!) from the new collection because I love the formula and colours and I keep my most used ones in my lip balm bowl so grab for them a lot. I am learning I need to keep certain things out to use for a while and then tuck back in the drawers and pull out another item or brand and put it to use!

No tarot sales today, but things are slow and Mondays are the worst day of them all!

 

[JennsJewelz]

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been a while - Jerome and I are staying with his family for the month of August and we don't have very reliable internet there, so it's been tough to keep up! Everything will be back to normal in September, hopefully!

Lou, your new kitty is adorable - I love her! I second the play date with Debi Sounds like everyone is doing well and keeping busy!

I've got to run before this gets deleted, but I'll talk more soon! Stay well everyone!

 

[WhatWouldJoanDo]

Lou! What's goin' on with those riots?

 

[shadowaddict]

Hey guys, I'm back from Vegas. We had a great time, especially the shopping. I scanned through the past pages on here. I'm glad you guys are feeling better. I have no idea what MAC collections are coming up since I've been out of the loop. I'm hoping to catch up this week at least somewhat.

Lou--I love Lily. She is just so adorable and her markings are very cute.


Debi--That bag is gorgeous. I love the color.

I told you that you would love Butter London. You have got to get "All Hail the Queen" a lot of sites are sold out of it.

If you didn't already when you ordered from Ulta. I usually can find a free shipping with a $25 order. I just hate that you can't use that with any other code like their $3.50 off a $10.00 purchase.


I also bought some Butter London n/p at Nordies with the buy 2 get Yummy Mummy free. The Nordies exclusive color is not so exclusive as I saw it on the Ulta site. I'm glad they are now selling Butter or if they did before I didn't know it.

I got
2 Wallis --Nordies "exclusive"- 1 for me and 1 for my daughter-in-law
Victoriana
Diamond Geezer
Henley Regatta- for DIL
and of course 3 of Yummy Mummy--I will use the 3rd one as a gift for my niece

I also ordered from zappos.com
Lady Muck
Frilly Knickers-I think this will be good to add on top of other colors for some shimmer/glitter
Full Monty

Ordered from Ulta
All Hail the Queen ---backup for me and one for DIL

I love their descriptions (especially for Victoriana), just hold the curser on each color and it'll pop up.

Sorry if I posted any of this before my brain is still trying to get back on Central time and catch up on sleep.

i am so please you had a lovely time in vegas! and it sounds like you bought some awesome goodies too!

 

[WhatWouldJoanDo]

It's unreal. .... Mob mentalities are crazy to comprehend and seemingly predictably awful; perhaps analogies can be made with the market, motivated by greed and fear. ... Stay safe.

i am honestly so shocked and saddened by what is happening. apparently it started because the police wrongly shot and killed a well known man in london. now however i feel people are doing it for the sheer hell of it. they shouldn't riot because of a dead chap anyway (i doubt he would have wanted all this to happen) and it is scary that other cities have now had riots too. they also seem to be targeting electronic stores to loot. sadly the sony uk distribution centre has now been burnt down so i have no idea about what effect that is going to have. so many innocent people are getting hurt. even kids are in the riots. what the hell is wrong with people?

 

[Miss QQ]

Hi shadow! Welcome back! Enjoy your Butter haul! What a big and nice haul! Debi - thanks for the tip! I also watched the last Harry Potter film and I enjoyed it! I agree that it is not as emotionally moving and I didn't shed a tear! Did feel like tearing up at one point but that was it. The makeup for the boys when it was 19 years later wasn't as great as the girls. I thought Ginny and Hermoine look convincing but Ron and Harry look comical. I wouldn't mine watching it again if someone gives me a free ticket. But then no free ticket so far lol... Lou - is your area safe? I heard the news about the riots yesterday and the whole street was cordoned off. Not sure what has happened today and I'm shocked to know it has spread to other cities.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Hey Lou~I've been worrying about you. Stay safe, please. This is so out of control and unbelievable. Not good for a country that is supposed to be hosting the Olympics next year, either. The police have to do a better job than just chasing them off. They say so much of the grouping of thugs was orchestrated by using Blackberries, FB and Twitter. Why doesn't the government close off the towers to confuse them and help shut their communication down? I can't believe the fires and how much has been torched to the ground. I hope you are far from the action, though very sad to hear about the Sony Distribution Center. What an opportune time for a terrorist to hit the UK and shatter the whole country. This has to get under control now. Why can't people grow up for once.

Lots of nasty stuff being discussed behind the scenes about the situation in the tarot forum. I really don't want any part of it. I just want to sell and get out of there. But I also don't want to listen to people moan about it all day since it has been this way for years now and they are only talking about it now because they finally became the victims. I already was one about 5 years ago and no one came to my aid, so we brought in the police to deal with the psycho woman. Unpleasantness seems to abound these days.

On a happy note! One of our local pharmacies now carries Essie n/p and Physicians Formula, so I was able to pick up a few goodies, and the PF stuff was on sale, so yay! We have three within a 7 minutes drive so I have a nice variety of local places to shop when we are not hitting the mall!

Shadowaddict~Love the goodies you bought! Yes, butter London is amazing and long lasting so I am excited that Nordstrom has so many colours now and others can be bought online. I love the way I can try them on at Nordies first and come home with each nail a different colour! Hehehe... Enjoy your goodies!!

Miss QQ~Yes, HP was really good and I got all teary at various points, but not emotionally freaked out like Diggory's death. I was very upset at Snape's death being so violent with the snake's nasty bites. I found that hard to take, actually. As for the MU jobs on the kids, I was wondering how they would handle it. Harry looked like Harry. Hermoine still had a young girls voice and just looked like her with her hair swept up. Ron looked like harrier Ron. I felt Ginny was the only one who pulled off an older look. But the scene was so short and anticlimatic that they probably didn't feel it was important to try hard on it. I came home and read parts of the book and was surprised how much they did change around and left out that would have been better. Too late now! I just want to watch and reread the books, but feel very sad that it is over now. I mean, I want to see Diagon Alley thriving again. I want to see Hogwarts all fixed up. Who is the headmaster now?? I have questions!!! Where is JK Rowling when you need her???

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I agree the 19 years later part should be left out! Even in the book. But definitely in the movie because it was so anti climax. And I agree, Ginny looked the best as an older woman. Yes, sad that Snape died so violently. Great that you have Essie and PF nearby! Ooo the psycho woman has stuck again on the forum? Is she still bothering you?

yes i too am in agreement that the 19 yrs later bit should be left out. it was a touch pointless in my mind.

 

[shadowaddict]

Lou--I am so sorry for what all is going on over there. I've just had time to read a bit of it. The violence is horrible and the part about the Sony distribution center. That is just crazy. Riots are just so scary. I think some people join in for the hell of it not even having or knowing a reason except to cause trouble. I hope you and your loved ones stay safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys.


MissQQ--I agree I thought Ginny looked the best at the end. I know it was not a long scene but still I thought a bit more effort could have been put into it.
