So this is a good news bad news story, but it ends well


I had to take off work today to chauffeur my dad to the hospital for some outpatient surgery. This literally ate up the day (from 7:30 AM to 4 PM), but I am happy to report that he came through ok and the only casuality was my mother's nerves. He also came out with two prescriptions which I gladly volunteered to get filled for him. Then he informs me that the pharmacy that accepts his insurance is in the middle of a road work zone in a crappy strip mall.

I risk my life in rush hour traffic to get the Rx and next door is a bizarre store called "Ocean State Job Lots" which is apparently some sort of closeout deal (kind of like the Odd Lots stores I've seen elsewhere). I got some yummy Lindt chocolate (not the usual kind, the wrapper didn't have any English at all) all 70% cacao for two dollars each, a double wide cosmic catnip cardboard scratcher for three dollars and...the best part, this 30" tall kitty scratch post for fifteen dollars!!


Looked like there's a lot of cool stuff there (also a lot of junk)...I may risk life, limb and fender going back tomorrow.

very cool! my kitties are jealous.


i always find cool stuff for cheap for the cats at Big Lots (though i rarely go
). we have another lots type store here called Gordman's that has high end pet dishes for dirt cheap. right now they have tall cat condos for dirt cheap & i have a 20% off coupon...and my husband suggested we get a tall condo for raven. i think kitty is getting a new fort soon.

My kitties are jealous too!! I so need to get one of those. I have some cardboard boxes behind my bookcase that they occasionally use but they are pretty worn. I notice that Abby has been starting to scratch the back of my wicker back chairs
