(7,911 posts)Don't get me wrong. I'm going to celebrate for sure when Biden is declared, and even more so when he is inaugurated, but thinking that there will be some kind of monumental national rising up in celebration is just a fantasy. Just look at the popular vote number. Nearly half of all Americans are either too stupid to know they are being conned, or too evil to give a damn. Beyond putting Joe in the White House, I'm just not seeing much to be happy about with this election.

(24,284 posts)Only one Trump sign, and that is two doors down. The thing about a mobile park, is your neighborhood is only as good as your neighbors, since we all live so close to each other, so I'm not going to do anything outlandish to piss people off.
My wife and I plan to drink a long-chilled bottle of Champaign together quietly, the I will take the empty bottle out to the small table and chairs on my front porch where we have our coffee and greet those who pass by and simply set the bottle on the table and leave it there for all to see.
Sometime one can be both subtle and right in your face.

(5,170 posts)without the horn blowing. I am rural and it would only disturb the wildlife. I hate firecrackers for that reason, which neighbors set off. But I will jump up and down on my own!!
Plus, I am trying to trap a mama cat that was dumped here, she is terrified anyway and I hope to get her to a vet. I saved one of her kittens.

(57,073 posts)I hate fireworks for the same reason.
peacebuzzard
(5,170 posts)Poor mama cat, I am sure there must have been more kitties but this one here was wailing on my fence, she heard my cat crying on the enclosed porch. (he cries like anything to go out and then complains the whole time. doesn't matter in or out he cries)
The crying was a beacon for this little kitten I have now. If I have success trapping the mama I will take both in to be examined. Probably keep both! Shelters are all full here and closed with minimal service.
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)I appreciate you doing this & am glad you plan to adopt them!
peacebuzzard
(5,170 posts)He was crying more than usual that day probably to alert me ( I was working in the other room). when I got to the other Side of the house is when I heard an extra cat cry. I plucked him off of the top of my wood fence he had scaled from the other side. Poor skinny thing hit the jackpot.
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)Cha-ching!
Are you experienced with ferals? (Mom kitty)
peacebuzzard
(5,170 posts)I think they were dumped here, since its a wooded area. kitty here used a litter box right away and really freaks when I take her on the porch. she has been spayed, I think. there is a little blue line on her abdomen. just hopefully will catch mom soon and take both in to a vet. I am learning about ferals.
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)And likely already spayed! Nice!
What will you name them?
peacebuzzard
(5,170 posts)I have thought of a dozen but nothing works yet. guess I am worried about the mama cat. there is a very busy road here.
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)Do you have a trap to catch her?
Maybe can borrow from animal control or vet?
peacebuzzard
(5,170 posts)its already set. I caught a baby possum last night but let it go. its ready again.
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)Awwwww baby possum. Cute, I'll bet!
Sending good vibes to mama for the cage!
peacebuzzard
(5,170 posts)so is kitty. every time I come in her room she darts off and hides.
thanks for good vibes!
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)Many rescues use it.
Poor little kitty. She will calm down.
Is your cat interacting with kitten?
peacebuzzard
(5,170 posts)good idea. I have rescue remedy.
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)Glad you have RR!
glad your 1 kitty is helping kitten. Must be a real sweetie!

(14,891 posts)I'll yell out my apt building window that they won.
Later than that i'll jump & down (no one under me) for joy, and yell quietly!
And i have plenty of artisanal chocolate pasteries, and high end dark chocolate bars to choose from.
Including Hagan Das Spirit: vanilla ice cream w chocolate truffles, and Bourban! It's soooo yummy!
My nabe has practically nothing of that sort except sometimes Hagan Das I like, Breyers, almost no Ben & Jerry's anymore. Your typical cookies Oreos, pepperidge farm (thank goodness).
That's after I probably cry w joyous relief!!!
I do live near a semi-major thorough fare sooo maybe I'll hear some honking, and maybe some guys in the neighborhood have some fireworks.

(28,789 posts)we could all open our windows and scream "President Biden" at the top of our lungs.
I may do that anyway even if I'm the only one for miles around.
