Over at the defunct ChicagoNow, I did a post about Life Lessons. It was a gallery so when I exported that blog to my personal (unused) WordPress site, they didn't come over. I had to use Wayback Machine to get them. I figured putting the more pertinent ones here might be beneficial.
Practical Life Lesson: Cats and Dogs and Social Maintenance
There's a famous pet meme out there. I'm including the picture but the text is "I cannot come to your cat's birthday party. My dog is getting married that day." There are various incantations and the one I've pictured goes the extra step of pet owner A insulting pet owner B.
There are at least two life lessons here. The first is that if you want people to care about your "cat's wedding" you have to care about their "dog's birthday party."
The second is that people will treat your "cat's wedding" like it is the most unimportant thing in the world and make you feel bad for even suggesting they be part of it, but will expect you to drop everything for their "dog's birthday party."

Comments Encouraged! And the nice thing about this blog is that I rarely get spam so don't need to moderate the comments.
I've set the comments up to allow anonymous users -- but I'd love it if you "signed" your comments (as some of my readers have done) just so you have an identity of sorts.
