Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

[awayfarer]

Okay, I'm just gonna scratch my head and move on.

Thats not too bad. I walk a grand total of about 2-3 miles a day as is. Looks like the earliest Saturday trains get to Providence shortly before 8:00. Should work out.

I'm not familiar with either of those systems but I'm very much interested in anything involving zombies. You can put me down for the "All Flesh Must Be Eaten" game in the afternoon.

Kind of a shame about the pets. Not that I don't like pets, I do. It's just that my girlfriends got pretty bad allergies and I'm sure this is something she'd like.

Can she take an alegra for the day? Unfortunately, I will probably be throwing the next one, and I have two dogs (no cats). It's a common problem. Of course, you could always host one at your place...

I'll be coming from Newton, and I'm on the T. If someone needs a ride, holler and I'll see if I can help.

Total hijack, but did something happen to your cat? if so, poor kitty. It was nice the few times i saw it.

I am also considering throwing one in early 2007, and I have 2 cats

We talked about but she didn't want to take the trip only to find out that the pet dander would make staying there difficult. You wouldn't happen to have poodles would you? I've heard that they don't cause the same problems.

Yeah, I used to go over friends' houses all the time when I was younger, and all my friends had cats. It can be a complete disaster or I can be perfectly fine with it. I think it's based on different things than just animals. One friend's mom would banish the cats to the basement and vacuum for days before I came over, and I'd be wheezing and sneezing the whole time. Another friend put her cats outside a couple minutes before I came over and I wouldn't have even realized she had cats if I hadn't seen them in their pen outside (yes, they had a pen... it was wierd).

But it's hard to tell how it will affect me ahead of time, and I don't want to have to drag Awayfarer away from the game to go home early if my allergies act up, nor do I want to have to take the train home by myself. And the third option of staying there and sucking it up is no good. Sometimes pets can set off my asthma, and struggling to breathe isn't fun.

I'm on singulair for allergies, and it works for everyday stuff, but it's not powerful enough for a day with pets. I'm planning on asking my doctor if there's something stronger I can take on an as-needed basis, like when I know I'll be going over someone's house with pets, but the last time I asked for something stronger I got the singulair.

And like Away said, certain types of dogs I'm not as allergic to. The president at the small company I work for has bichons frises. I'm lucky bichons are "hypoalergenic" (no dog is truly hypoalergenic, but some are not as bad for people like me) because they didn't mention dogs during the interview and I didn't realize the president brought dogs to work until after I'd moved three hours away from my last place. Along with bichons, poodles, schnausers and portugese water dogs are included in the list of "hypoalergenic" dogs. My parents had a poodle mix for over ten years that didn't bother me much.

(Oh, if it wasn't clear, I'm Awayfarer's girlfriend. )

It was clear, but considering you have the higher postcount, I was thinking "Oh, Awayfarer is Merkuri's boyfriend." If you see the distinction.

The dog is a short-haired mutt. Lots of other breeds in her, but no poodle.
The cat is tiger/siamese.
