I forgot

I keep forgetting that I wanted to post something else regarding my experience at Chico’s while shopping with my mom and Ali.  Evidently Chico’s is a very popular store and I think part of the reason is an incredibly simple but brilliant plan.  They have their own unique sizing system that only goes from 1 to 4.  So if you are a fatty whom normally squeezes into a size 18 in a normal store, at Chico’s you would be a size 3 or 4.  It is amazingly brilliant and plays upon the oldest trick in the book, make something seem much better than it is.  For example when a store raise it’s prices 30% but offers amazing 25% discounts! What a deal, saving 25% is nothing to sneeze at!  Similarly, why would I shop in a store where I would have to be relegated to wearing clothes with numbers in the upper teens when at Chico’s I can wear a nice and tidy single digit number?  Brilliant I tell you. Preying upon the weak human mind combined with a nation full of gluttonous hippos equates to big money.

The alternative silica cat litter experiment is an official failure.  Ali said she almost passed out from the strong ammonia smell when she went in the utility room yesterday.  They just piss too much, plain and simple.  I also put down a bowl of  conventional hard cat food this morning along with the wet food.  I am sick of Spook looking like she just got off the boat from Ethiopia.  Her dramatic weight loss seemed to correspond exactly with when we switched food.  I am hoping getting some more carbs back into her diet will make her look less skeleton-like.
