We figured what the hell. That&#8217;s how we started <strong>What The Hell Wednesday. <\/strong>Who are we kidding? That&#8217;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&#8217;t forget to sign in to the linky below. Really, <strong>what the hell?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The saying goes &#8220;You learn something new everyday&#8221; and it really is true. But sometimes you learn something that you really didn&#8217;t want to know and now it&#8217;s stuck in your brain and it&#8217;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 <em><strong>can<\/strong><\/em> buy birth control for cats. You can put Miss Kitty on the pill and she can be a little tramp without any repercussions&#8230;&#8230; 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. <em>But<\/em> they have to be <em>wild <\/em>seeds. No running to the garden store and grabbing a package of <em>regular<\/em> carrot seeds. They did say the exact dosage isn&#8217;t available and it involves a bit of <em>trial and error<\/em>. Hello!! Trial and error means kittens! Oops! Then came the most horrifying method of <em>do it yourself cat birth control<\/em>. The <strong>Q-Tip Method<\/strong>. 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 <strong>Q-Tip Method <\/strong>is beyond do-it-yourself. It ventures into creepy, skeevy and downright disgusting. I&#8217;m not going to go into details about the <strong>Q-Tip <\/strong>method. Use your imagination and add a huge dose of ewwwww! and you&#8217;ll be able to figure it out. Best idea is to get your cats spayed or neutered by a vet. Just sayin&#8217;!<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that the light in your fridge makes all of your food look happy? Okay, maybe not the moldy stuff that&#8217;s been there since Christmas, but the other, fresher food looks happy. When that light socket melts and you can&#8217;t replace it for, say, about a week, it&#8217;s pretty damn depressing. Every single time I open the fridge, the lack of happy light surprises me. It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tonight I went out to throw out the trash\/recycling.  Of course it&#8217;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.  <strong>What the Hell<\/strong>??  I think that&#8217;s exactly what I said, loudly as I walked outside.  Luckily he was singing so damn loud he couldn&#8217;t hear me.<\/p>\n<p>Today it was my 5 year Anniversary at work. <strong> What the Hell<\/strong>?  Where did those 5 years go??  I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;ve been there that long!  I&#8217;m still waiting for my cake.  Because every occasion deserves cake.  They must have forgotten&#8230;..not like it&#8217;s a tradition, but hey, it should be.  I would have shared.<\/p>\n<p>Did you hear about the guy who proposed to his girlfriend by posting a picture of a diamond ring on her Facebook wall?  <strong>What the Hell<\/strong>??  She didn&#8217;t even know because she hadn&#8217;t been on Facebook.  Apparently she has more of a life than he does.  I know some people think it&#8217;s romantic, but honestly, that&#8217;s just stupid.  I guess it&#8217;s better than breaking up with someone via Facebook, but still, come on.  Can&#8217;t anyone talk face to face anymore?  Maybe they can get married via Skype from different locations.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.simply-linked.com\/listwidget.aspx?l=48b96630-c9d1-45e3-abc0-c91b162d31d4\" ><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesdays are great for Wordless and Wordful posts, but we decided to go a different route and create our own Wednesday fun.
