I never heard from her. She was supposed to call me in the morning and drop them off today because the exterminator was spraying today. So basically I wasted the whole day waiting around, and spent several hours rearranging stuff to make space for the cat cage. Ah well, maybe its for the best- its just that she made it sound like this big urgent need to get them out today. (sorry to disappoint you, denton. The bedbugs haven’t happened yet 🙂
WIT, IF YOU DO NOT have the cats yet just forget about it. Besides, if she is this irresponsible you have NO guarantee that she is bringing you cats that have been bathed for bedbugs already and you know what kind of problem that is going to be.
No matter how close a friend, I would not get involved in a bed bug situation. As explained a few weeks ago, I’d rather contract a venereal disease.

Actually, a lot of Westerners think that Cantonese sounds combative.
My Cantonese herbalist from Guangzhou taught me how to “spot” Fukienese language. She explains: “if you hear someone speaking Chinese language, and you don’t understand one single word they’re saying…that’s Fukienese.”
Oh, and rf, I tell people that the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese is like the difference between German and Italian.
good night open thread!
dear god, stay the hell away from anything involving bed bugs (people, furniture, animals).
they are like the herpes of pests.

The other thing is that the exterminator was spraying today- so what did she do with them all day?
My friend is in FLA right now. She emailed me all of this. I’ll see what happens but this person is sounding kinds irresponsible.
I would be v.annoyed as well bxgrl.
Could you maybe call your friend through whom you know her and see if she has heard anything?
