The Short List
* No baby. But she’s dilated to two. She really wanted to deliver yesterday because of the “cool” birthdate it would have been (07/08/09). And she really wanted to have her on the 4th because of the easy birthday parties she’d have had. “Look at those fireworks! I did them all for you, honey! Happy Birthday!” But now all the neat-o dates are over and she doesn’t care. If she hasn’t started by Sunday, they want her to check into the OB floor. I’ll keep you all posted! (I feel like we’re all in this together now, so, yanno, when I hit you up for diaper funds, don’t bail on me! 
)
* This morning’s walk/run was grueling. I was so. bloody. tired. I hardly jogged any of it and it took me almost ten minutes longer than it should have. Bah.
* But I spent most of the entire walk thinking about the details of last night’s fucking. There was foreplay. FOREPLAY! It were delish.
* Those of you who have those turian style slave collars, what tips and hints would you have for measuring and comfort and all of that? Like, is it better for it to lay low and loose or what?
* If I ever get diagnosed with a terminal illness and I spend what time I have left hating on people and being a bitch, slap me upside the head, mmmk? Promise? Life is too fucking short for that shit.
* Remember that child vs. slave post I did a bit ago where I’d gotten pissy over bedtime? Well, it happened again, this morning actually, when he started telling me how and where to walk. I got all “I know how to walk, goddammit!” on him. (Even though I am “doing it wrong!” and walking with traffic, I have my reasons for it so lemme ‘lone about it already!)
So, subtle had made a post about this very thing and I’d suspected that she’d hit on why I get pissy when I first read it. Now? I’m sure of it. It is exactly that. I mean, I don’t agree with *everything* she said (for instance, being told what to do about my career- or lack thereof- doesn’t push the same button as it does for her), but the distinction she made between being told what to do and being treated as if I’m too stupid to know what to do, is pretty spot on.
Not that I think Master is in any way trying to treat me like I’m stupid. At all. And I know he doesn’t think I’m stupid. He’s just.. really really bossy. Mostly, I adore that. But, yanno, if he ever tells me to brush my teeth, I might bite him.
Just sayin’.
*Hitler jokes are funny. So are dead baby jokes, fat jokes, Polish jokes, Priest jokes, gay jokes, girl-bashing, blonde-bashing, etc. etc. etc. Yes, it’s tasteless and I’m a horrible person. I feel bad. Really.
Okay, not really. I’m sorry you left your sense of humor in your other pants, though.
* Last week, I went into the doctor’s exam room with Jes because she was too afraid to argue with him about something, and the nurse says to me “Are you her friend, sister, what?” Hee. I told her she was my new BFF.
* Some kitty love to share:
This is Cranky Cat. Being cranky. This is how she reacts when you touch her before she’s decided you are allowed to touch her.
And this is Dracula. I caught him in a moment when he was looking very, um, Un-Dracula-like. And very stoopid-like. Someone needs to make a gif icon out of this (cuz I don’t know how).
Happy Thursday!

Yanno, I had shit to DO today.
And you ruined everything.
Because now I have to go call PETA, omg!!!1!1oneoneeleventy.
Awesome.
AND… About the birthdays. You can always remind Jes that just because the date isn’t cool NOW doesn’t mean it won’t be super-cool in the future. Or, you know, horrifying. Antonio was born in 1972. In September. On the 11th. Which was totally normal for his first 28 birthdays. Now? Not so much.

Don’t call teh Peta on meh!
You know what Peta stands for right? Did you read that on Fet? People with Extra Time Available.
Oh, and, um.. ouch on that birthday. I’ll be sure and let her know how wonderful it COULD be!
The cat videos are hilarious.
And I can certainly relate to the being told what to do vs. feeling like you’re being treated like you’re stupid. I think that might be why I get snippy about being told what to do sometimes.
I’ll keep Jes in my thoughts, and hope for an easy delivery.

Thank you!
Wish her good luck for me!
I wear an eternity collar, and you really want it to sit low – right above your collarbone bumps – and enough room that someone can get their hand in it and use it as a handle. Otherwise it’s too tight to sleep in and you can accidentally die, or it feels that way, anyhow. You don’t need goobles of room, just enough.
We put Master’s four fingers in front of my neck, and measured around my neck with his fingers there, if that makes sense. Fits great.

Do you have any pics of you wearing yours?
I added you to my blogroll, btw. I coulda swore I already had you on there.
Thank you!

HTH!

Awesome! Thank you.
I vote she has the baby on Saturday – then the baby and I will be birthday buddies
Also – the baby will get a free slurpee at 7/11′s on her birthday. So it does have a little bit of cool factor.
[rq=15982,0,blog][/rq]
Hee! Free slurpies. That’s great!
I have worn an eternity collar for several years. I think it should be a little loose as ashton said. When I exercise I put a small towel around it to keep it from bouncing on my collar bone too much. You can put tape around the joints to keep them from pulling your hair. I had one that had a padlock on it that seemed to always hit something on my neck. The set screw, allen screw, is better.
It may be a mind trip to ‘lock’ it on, but don’t let anyone try to fill the screw with glue or make it ‘permanent’. At some point it will have to be removed for some medical reason.
Get ready for stupid comments. I now tell anyone who asks that it is a steel collar and it is locked on by my owner. My neck has been sore for the last few weeks but I don’t want to take it off. I think the locked on steel collar makes a big statement to a person’s determination to be a good slave. I think you will have a love hate relationship with it after a period of time.
The comments worry me a little, but only in regards to the kids.
*Probably* I won’t wear it ALL the time.
We’ll see how the kids react to it. I’m not going to embarrass them or anything like that. So, it may be limited to being worn during events or something. It’s up to him.
Heh i know that this was not meant for me, but wow i never thought of putting a small towel around mine when i exercise! I will have to try that because it does hurt like a bitch when it bounces on to my collar bone.
I get a lot of stupid comments about mine too…I just tell people that I don’t wanna talk about it lol
Love the cat vids!
Get Jes to walk lots – it will help the baby get into the right position, will get the head pressing down more so that it starts to open her up more and may even get things going. And the more she opens up now before she is in labour the shorter and easier it will be for her once things really get going. Not long now though!
The collar – I wear a Wyredslave one, similar to a turian style one in some ways. It locks with an allenkey. We measured for mine by putting a piece of string round my neck lying where we wanted it to lie. Mine sits just above my collarbones.
She’s walking and walking and walking… she’s making me tired!
Mine’s super comfy and I never had a problem with neck soreness or hair pulling, though I do have the plain circle one, not the one with the dangly lock.
I find it easier to keep it on than a normal collar – it looks so permanent that if anyone asks you to remove it – airline security, dress code nazis, whomever – you can just shrug and say it’s impossible, and permanent. I find that really handy.

I wear a collar similar to the “Eternity” collar, from RingofSteel.net. THey do custom sizes, though I’m not sure if EC does. It needs to see just a little loose, resting just above your collar bones. If it’s actually sitting on them it can get kinda owwie. It’s had it snag my hair twice in the two years I’ve been wearing it, and that’s because the screw had loosened up a bit. It’s a touch heavier than the EC’s but again, custom sizes and Ring Of Steel even makes aluminum collars for those who need something lightweight.
And it blends in really well. Most people don’t notice it for what it is, and if they do it’s because they are most likely kinky.
Plus there are all kinds of fun retorts to people asking how you get it on/off, like responding you squeeze it on over your head.
[rq=16577,0,blog][/rq]Weird thoughts
Ring of Steel is where we’re looking. Plus, they’re on sale right now.
I can’t imagine it’s going to get caught in my hair anymore than the chain I wear now. I am constantly (daily) yanking out strands of hair on the back of my neck because they’ve wrapped around the chain. Pretty soon, I should be bald back there.
yes mine rests on my collar bone and when it bounces up it hits em…arg
Collar: I measured my actual neck measurement, and added an inch to allow for growth. I’d like it to lie flat around my neck, but nobody in the world makes them that small without being custom. I’d have to buy fatty cuffs and use them as collars.
I say leave yourself at least a half inch, since you’re going to be exercising, thus, your body will be in flux. :3 Kittay!
Mine is actually an EC, one of the phantom ones (GHOSTS GET IT?)and I find it incredibly light and comfortable. I had to scrub off a little rust when I got it, but it’s since not come back. Never gotten it caught in my hair, though.

Wow. Your crazy cat could be sister to one of my cats. My kitty has the same coloring except her face is half brown/half black. She is also crazy in her own way. She is an obsessive licker. She enjoys licking – the other animals, herself, her toys, her humans, whatever – repeatedly.
I don’t have a turian style collar, but I do wear a metal one 24/7. It looks like a metal cat collar. It has enough space that I can fit my fingers between the collar and my skin. Some people like theirs tighter, but since mine does not come off, a little space was a better idea. You get a little choked if you move certain ways, because your neck expands (like when lifting) and the collar does not.
Kaya,
I do somethoing like your Master all the time. It’s not that I’m giving everyone orders, but I just can’t help but piont out to people how to do something. You know the type, “You need to turn the light on to see it,” kind of comments. It drives my roommate’s wife crazy, since she takes all unasked for advice as an accusation of her being stupid.
Oh, for those who don’t speak feline, allow me to translate Mr. Cranky.
“Let me go you stupid human. I don’t want to be here. Let me go or I’ll she you some true blood play. I’m warning you, I have sharp claws, lots sharper than those stupid needles he uses. You! Man! Make her put me down!”
You’re wlecome. Just another service we provide here at catlovers inc.
Dave
Just ‘cuz I’m picky. It’s Ms Cranky. Black/brown and red/creme cats are just about never male. Genetics, all that.
How weird, I’ve only owned two cats of that coloration (inncluding my current cat, Lilly) and they were one male and one female. Typical of me to get the oddball. I also had an orange male tabby once, also supposedly rare.
It’s about one in a million that’s a male red-and-brown cat. They’re usually sterile from birth.
Orange male tabbycats aren’t rare though.
Over here, we had a vet that wondered why they’d bought a litter of kittens and the father, because the mother was orange. It took the cat owner thirty minutes to convince him to CHECK the bloody gender of the cat, ‘cuz he kept right on insisting that female cat’s can’t be orange. *sigh* So it’s a myth, that goes both ways depending on where you live.
I’ve got a tortie, Misha. She’s red, brown and white. A bicolour (with an upside down V over her forehead)… she’s a bit special, comes to get me to go to sleep, wakes me up in the morning… I think I bought myself a mother?
It’s something Master does to everyone as well. It’s not just limited to me.
It is irritating though. You should change that about yourself.
I’m just popping in to make you lol.

Also. I’m wating for Jes to poop that baby out. Seriously. I’m manically hitting the updatebutton to see if the kid’s *born yet*.
*snort*
OMFG…cranky cat totally reminds me of this munchkin tortie i had in high school that i named Hope. My dad (biological) found her in a parking lot as a 4 week old kitten that people were just walking around as she was literally baking in the sun..texas heat is UNFORGIVABLE to kittens who are sick
so he called me and my mom to take her to the vet. She nearly died because she had coccidia in her intestinal tract and it was nasty. Anyways, she lived and because she wasn’t able to be picked up for such a long time, she never got used to humans touching her and was VERY feral, and acted a lot like your cranky kitty LOL. If you walked past her, she’d hiss at you. We couldn’t even pick her up at all. i remember getting scratched constantly because i would try to pet her. Poor thing 
and i heard somewhere that most torties are very moody LOL.
Actually, the cat is the most lovable, snuggable lap cat- IF she is the one to initiate contact. She’s perfectly content to sleep in your lap but only when she jumps there. Me? I think she’s been hanging around Master too long.
ooooo, Jes could have the baby this weekend while I’m at work, then I can come and visit on my breaks
.
I had to run and get my sense of humor, I didn’t know I left it in my other pants until you told me! jk
I wore a heavy chain made from an actual dog choker collar for quite a while. Only one person at work ever commented on it, and I just said “He wanted to make sure i didn’t break it”
I bet your hit ticker is going crazy! We are all obsessively checking to hear you are leaving for the hospital!
If she goes this weekend, I will definitely look for you!
They want to check her in? To induce her? Please, I know I’m being psycho mommy because of my own horror story, but that has the potential to end so badly that I’ve got to put the warning out to research and not be pushed into anything that doesn’t feel right.
As far as jokes? “Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.” I say that often, and mean it wholeheartedly!

I turned my reply into a post because I know you aren’t the only one with concerns.
LOL….that cat would have been thrown through the door at my Dad’s house….Dad just didn’t like cats back then. Now he has nine of them! Tell Jes to jump rope. Ugh, not really. My first son was a 10 month baby. Wife at the time just would not go into labor, even when she was induced…..the baby will come when she/he decides too…all babies are Doms, didn’t you know that?
Minuative doms. Yes. I’m sure I’ll be reminded of that soon enough.
The reason your Cat is “Crazy” First she is a female and we are crazy and second her breed she is a Tourdy and thay are all loving but can also be rather crabby belive me i know have had two of them.
I’ve heard that torties are brats!
Are they also usually petite? This cat is tiny!
Yes they are never Fat Cats at all ther are all very slim and slike. Cleo one never got above 12 lbs and that was while carring a litter of kittens tordies are also normally the runt of a litter to. Tell jess i keep her in my thoughts
Sorry to hear Jess is a little late
I wish her a healthy delivery asap as well as a healthy baby.
The Cranky Cat looked like a pissy kitty. Hell, I have never seen my cats that pissy or cranky before.
The Dracula kitty was funny with it’s tongue out.
My poor kitties were freaking out over your video. It was hilarious. Your black cat is a match for my boy Simple. That’s his name. Because he is.

You just had to go and link me when I’ve just done a post with funky faces right? Now I’m going to have to squeeze that serious post out of my ass just to push the other one off the front page! Lol.
On collars, the plus side of wearing a metal one permanently is knowing that if it starts getting too tight, it’s time to diet
[rq=19576,0,blog][/rq]Unfortunate Face Friday
Yes! I did that on purpose because I know you’re a masochist and I wanted to assist you in feeling some humilation.
I’m a pleaser like that.
*snicker*
thats one irate puddy cat. from experience the cats i have known all hated the camera.
The cat was scary! lmao, it teeth and jes looked so beautiful laying on the couch with her belly
I vote for sundddday!
i still wear my Master’s collar and it’s an eternity collar.
You want to measure just at the bottom of the neck (just above the collar bone) and add an inch to that…you could go with two inches if you want…BUT…thats what Bill did, and the thing causes me trouble even after wearing it without taking it off for two plus years…Hits me in the chin and on my collar bone if i have to run…it makes doing the half moon yoga pose quite difficult and forget sleeping on my back all that weight pushes the collar right on to my wind pipe…so id recommend just an inch of space.
hope that helps
I have a turian collar but unlike the others that i noted here, i can’t wear it all the time. Hell i can’t even wear a mock turtle-neck shirt and some t-shirts get to me. So i have to have mine really loose on my neck and, unfortunately i have to take it off or i go crazy and can’t breathe! Thankfully Master understands and cuts me slack! I suppose the most important thing about it all is making sure you’re comfortable in it.
It’ll probably be the same with me. I know I cannot STAND to have the leather one on too long or too tight. I feel strangled.
There are too few frames really and you moved alot *lol*

But I like this one better

Try to find an ergonomically shaped collar. They are easier to wear as they follow the contours of the neck and such. Necks just aren’t ’round.’ Those that I know who have tried both, prefer the ergo one.
