It is ask not aks. You don’t aks a questions. You ask a question. Just like you don’t get books from a libary, you get books from a library. I just watched a commercial and the guy actually said aks. WTF?
This weekend I’ve been having some sort of reaction to something. I don’t know if it is an allergic reaction or what, but I’ve got little spots forming. They are located randomly. I’ve had chicken pox (almost exactly eight years ago) and it isn’t localized like shingles. My throat was sore and today I’m noticing that I am having a hard time tasting anything salty. I just had a couple of crackers and they tasted bland. I’m giving it one more day and then I’m going to the doctors.
Josh got the server working. He swapped cases and power supplies. It is much quieter now. I like that. It was so quiet in the house that we could hear the ticking of my little Charlie Chaplin alarm clock. That alarm clock has to be pushing 17 years old. It has survived quite a few moves and falls and it just keeps on ticking.
I scored a few things at the hospice shop. First, I got a vacuum sealer. I knew it would be handy for Josh to use for his grain. He has a lot and it would suck if it got too much air. Plus, the vacuum sealer helps save a little bit of space. He’s already taken over a shelf and a half in the pantry and another shelf in one of the cabinets.
My second score was a brand new LitterMaid EliteMega Litter Box for $5. It is the Elite Mega version. So far it seems to work, except for my kitty’s um, movements. Apparently hers are too small for it to work. So, I am not so sure if it is a positive score or not.
The other scores were a boat load of X-men comic books for AJ, Making Bead & Wire Jewelry: Simple Techniques, Stunning Designs for when Brittany and Shalyn come visit. For myself I got some old knitting pattern books.

Maybe you just have to fill the box with more litter? If you look on the Amazon page someone says they had the same problem until they filled it up 1-2 inches.
“BUT, I was having the same problems as some of the other reviewers, and really disgusted with the elite when I reread the little manual that comes with it again. I noted that the manual said to fill the pan to the fill line of the hand scooper provided. When I looked at the hand scooper, I saw that the line on it was higher than I thought. I filled the pan to the line – a good 1-2 inches, and it has worked fine ever since.”
Or, it’s just a POS you snagged for $5 =P.

It finally worked. I tried with a bit of extra litter and it freaked out. The cat finally umm, did a lot and it worked just fine. Go figure.
