Top of my list bearing the heading "I would rather stab myself in the eye than do the following", alongside visit Dubai or buy a Coldplay album, is to go sales shopping. All the best evidence suggests we only have one shoy at this life, so why burden your existence with the stale leftovers from the Christmas retail orgy? Whenever I see a young woman staggering under the weight of her "bargain" handbag haul, I marvel at the question she has failed to ask herself: why, in a land of crazed bag addicts, have these reticules remained stubbornly unsold? Just a second's thought would furnish the revelation that these particular models were deemed too vile and faddish to grace any connoisseur's shelf. All you have bought yourself is the fashionistas' sneers. This year's sales are littered with six-inch bondage heels that strippers would deem too tawdry for pole-dancing: they would represent value for money only if you were auditioning to be the next Mrs Berlusconi.
On Wednesday morning, I received a call from a girl "Nancy" who said her friend's boyfriend had several large snakes and claimed that the boyfriend had been given a pair of ferrets over the weekend from a friend of his who got them from another friend who was losing their house and gave up, not only their ferrets, but two cats. (I held my breath for what I hoped I would not hear next...) And she overheard the two boys at the house talking about having some friends over for Saturday, the day they were to feed the ferrets to the snakes. OMG! I thought I was going to throw up. by the end of the conversation with Nancy, I was crying. "Nancy" reluctantly gave me her friend's cell number and I convinced this friend to give me the address and name of the guy that had the snakes, the ferrets, and the cats. I risked my job and went there during my lunch hour knowing I was not going to leave without the ferrets or the cats!! It turned out they are kittens, about 3 months of age. The ferrets are male and female - a pair of black sables about 3 years of age. I was lucky...the boyfriend was there and the kittens and the ferrets were still alive and on the premises. And, so were about two dozen snakes of all sizes...... ugh! I hate snakes and really, really fear them ... and to have so many in the house and for me to be in that house with them took every bit of strength that I had ... I was literally shaking. I felt like all of the color had rushed out of my body but I had to get these kids out and now.... I called police dispatch (on speed-dial) and a cruiser came out and we all discussed the situation. The police refused to do anything. I was at my wit's end so I offered him money - I don't buy ferrets but I finally convinced him to take $250 for the kittens and the ferrets. I called Joe and he took out all of our savings ... but lives were saved. This all took about 2 1/2 hours and I still have a job, thankfully. (and, just like most of you out there, I always carry two carriers...
