My neighbors cat keeps getting into my garden at night - I assume it thinks it is its personal mega litter box. I am not positive which neighbor it is because there are SO many cats in the neighborhood. However, I do know which cat it is as I have witnessed him/her in the act.

I've tried water, sprinkling tons of cayenne pepper, some expensive spray (critter ridder) around the garden that was supposed to work and even some barriers/fences. I can't afford a motion detector sprinkler or the 3' tall fences, unfortunately. This cat is driving me nuts. Anyone know of any inexpensive remedies or if there are any "leash laws" pertaining to cats?

I love cats but this one is digging up all my veggies and trampling on my hard work. I am debating spending a few hours going door to door trying to find the owner but I don't think they can do much besides keep the cat in at night - which I can't imagine they would do.

Ahh, what should I do?

I've pretty much stopped posting things to this to my own journal. anyway, enjoy, it is sorta long but fucking amazing.

( More Info )

Where are the abandoned rock quarries around here? Where's the wild swimmin' holes where a fellow can shake the first blast of Spring heat this weekend?

Hello! It is such a nice day and I'm off from work today and tomorrow! I'm so excited because often on nice days I'm inside watching the nice weather through the window.

Normally on my days off I stay inside and watch movies for two days because my friends work normal jobs and obvisouly are working. But seeing how nice it is/is going to be, I'd like to go do something outside.

Does anyone else not work a normal job and want to hang out at a park or something? I really need to make more friends. Maybe we could play tennis even though I'm not good at all whatsoever and just play for laughs. Tanning in natural light would be fun too. Whatever, just sitting outside is good.

I just don't want to be stuck inside all day even though I got blockbuster in the mail yesterday.

So yeah, I'm pretty much done rambling. I'm in the Cedar Mill area and free all day!

Granted it was beautiful last night, so the trivia-goers are out in full force. It was my fault for getting to 5th Quadrant on the late side and not securing a table. However, the server was pretty rude to me when I tried to figure out what the deal was, and the food's not that great, so I'm not inclined to patronize their establishment again.

Unfortunately, I don't subscribe to Portland's trivia trade industry rag, so I don't know where are the cool alternatives are. Where do you like to do when you want to test your knowledge of 70s TV shows and how many horses of the Apocalypse there are?

Bonus points for good point and outdoor seating. Negative points for rude servers.

Thanks, peeps.

I've just discovered that my boyfriend uses Simple Green.

What does this mean? What should I do? Help me Shitty Ones, you're my only hope!

Dear Shitty Advisers,

I am in an open relationship with my best friend ever, and one of the other people I'm interested in happens to be one of his really good friends. How do I commence boy on boy action between the two for my own pleasure and satisfaction?

Hello wine drinkers!

This is a little early, but I wanted to invite you all to come meet Gary Vaynerchuk (of Wine Library TV) on July 2nd for a book signing.

Event on upcoming

cheers.

Dear Shitty Advice:

I just got a job offer - problem is, the offered salary is a little lower than I'd like. How can I convince them to sweeten the deal and bump up my salary?

Comrades, know your enemies.

Ok, which one of you is up to evil shenanigans? I can tell because I have that Madonna song stuck in my head, you know, this one.




Which off you is it, what did you do, and why haven't you grown out of that yet?

For the rest of you, what should I do with this individual when I find them?

Parks with Grills in them?

I want to grill things with friends and enjoy the sun. But I can't find the place to do it.

Thanks S.
