Wishing a Peach of a Birthday for Yevette This Day

Any time I'm going to go wading through the mess of an area which previously contained unattended cats - count 'em, five of them ... or so (occupant wasn't sure) - there is likely to be more to the story than my lifetime love of how you can pet a cat and then, with no apparent provocation, it will turn and claw you.

Yevette has been my good friend for years but there's an even better reason for cleaning up that mess as no woman should have to deal with that in her own home on her birthday.  My gift will be rolling out two rubbish bins to the sidewalk so the socialist garbage collectors can take it away.  Perhaps you think this is not much of a gift but you don't know and I promise you absolutely do not want to know what was in them.

NOTE:  Yevette had nothing whatsoever to do with creating the situation beyond offering help to someone.  Nothing more about how it got that way needs to be public but Yevette did not do it.


Happy birthday, Yevette!

A good many of the regulars know Yevette so do feel free to wear your party hats and blow your party horns and, if'n you want to do it like Gabriel, open on Bb so the party starts on F.

Happy Birthday Yvette!!-ML
P.S. I only had a dead battery on my birthday---yours tops that!

Her birthday was sure a peach for me (larfs). There is a sense of accomplishment and I like that but I had hoped it might be in the context of saving the world from nuclear annihilation or some kind of cool thing like that. Little did I realize my destiny was in the cat litter (sob).

Her son will come over tomorrow and he will be surprised. He was worried I'd have a heart explosion or some such trying to do it myself and it was kind of cool that he was sensitive to the possibility but kind of screwed that he thought it might actually be a possibility. So I can cheerfully report zero heart explosions but I'll keep trying as there's still more to do up there.

Didja try vinegar and baking soda? Theres a product Odor Out--enzyme based. I know cat pee is the worst!

I have used vinegar and baking soda for smaller situations but this one is more like Richard Nixon over Hanoi, carpet-bombing with B-52s. Unknown if this carpet can be saved but my plan is to get it as clean as I can and Yevette's nose will decide if that's enough.
