You Learn Something New Every Day, Even if it's Nasty
Wednesdays are great for Wordless and Wordful posts, but we decided to go a different route and create our own Wednesday fun. We figured what the hell. That’s how we started What The Hell Wednesday. Who are we kidding? That’s pretty much how we decide on almost everything. If you want to play along, grab our button on the sidebar, link up to us in your post and don’t forget to sign in to the linky below. Really, what the hell?

The saying goes “You learn something new everyday” and it really is true. But sometimes you learn something that you really didn’t want to know and now it’s stuck in your brain and it’s just awful. Ya, that would be what I learned today. Somehow, we were on a discussion of birth control for cats, which to me, means spay or neuter the cat. Much to my surprise, you can buy birth control for cats. You can put Miss Kitty on the pill and she can be a little tramp without any repercussions…… like a litter of kittens. Who knew?? But then I Googled for more info. Bad idea. I found out that wild carrot seeds are also a good method of birth control. But they have to be wild seeds. No running to the garden store and grabbing a package of regular carrot seeds. They did say the exact dosage isn’t available and it involves a bit of trial and error. Hello!! Trial and error means kittens! Oops! Then came the most horrifying method of do it yourself cat birth control. The Q-Tip Method. First let me say that my New England background makes me cringe at paying for any job I can do myself, but actually attempting the Q-Tip Method is beyond do-it-yourself. It ventures into creepy, skeevy and downright disgusting. I’m not going to go into details about the Q-Tip method. Use your imagination and add a huge dose of ewwwww! and you’ll be able to figure it out. Best idea is to get your cats spayed or neutered by a vet. Just sayin’!
Did you know that the light in your fridge makes all of your food look happy? Okay, maybe not the moldy stuff that’s been there since Christmas, but the other, fresher food looks happy. When that light socket melts and you can’t replace it for, say, about a week, it’s pretty damn depressing. Every single time I open the fridge, the lack of happy light surprises me. It’s pretty awful. Nothing looks good and I usually close the fridge as fast as I can. Nobody wants to look at that depressing crap. Now we are waiting for a new light socket so we can have a happy fridge again.

Tonight I went out to throw out the trash/recycling. Of course it’s the beginning of the month, so I have a new neighbor across the street. Tonight I heard some bad bad karaoke coming from their apartment. What the Hell?? I think that’s exactly what I said, loudly as I walked outside. Luckily he was singing so damn loud he couldn’t hear me.
Today it was my 5 year Anniversary at work. What the Hell? Where did those 5 years go?? I can’t believe I’ve been there that long! I’m still waiting for my cake. Because every occasion deserves cake. They must have forgotten…..not like it’s a tradition, but hey, it should be. I would have shared.
Did you hear about the guy who proposed to his girlfriend by posting a picture of a diamond ring on her Facebook wall? What the Hell?? She didn’t even know because she hadn’t been on Facebook. Apparently she has more of a life than he does. I know some people think it’s romantic, but honestly, that’s just stupid. I guess it’s better than breaking up with someone via Facebook, but still, come on. Can’t anyone talk face to face anymore? Maybe they can get married via Skype from different locations.
