I'd insert an emoticon, but those are redundant. IMHO.
If anyone is intersted in making their own concrete, I have two cats for sale.

I have tried every brand of clumping cat litter available, but my cats have something in their urine that can turn any brand first into a goopy mess, and then into concrete if I don't get to the box quick enough.

She didn't say "good sex".

She said "good food or sex

The word "good" described the food only.

Just install a pet door like we did, then you won't need a cat box
at all. It's great.

I'm going to try bribing my husband with good food or sex to get him to start cleaning the litter.
Tell him women of child-bearing age are NOT supposed to deal with soiled kitty litter. Toxoplasmosis (I think, if I'm remembering correctly). If that doesn't work, tell him exposure to soiled kitty litter increases female fertility x10.

so how many BBs are locked out of this thread because it is headed "In my humble opinion"?
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

None! Anyone can play! Since I started the thread and I'm anti "IMHO". It's all a lovely paradox it is. Or something.

Except for the cat poop part. That's pretty straightforward.

t.
Definitely tell him about the fertility. If I have it right, it's not "women of child-bearing age", it's "pregnant women"; adult women generally have immune systems powerful enough to fight off toxoplasmosis, fetuses do not. So the danger lies in a woman having her first exposure to the disease while pregnant; she'd fight it off but the fetus would sustain damage while she's developing the immunity. Otherwise, a fetus' immune system is the mother's, so she'd fight it off for both.

Of course, I may have it wrong.

No, you have it right, and I almost changed my post, except that, for a lot of women, at least a few weeks of pregnancy goes by before we know we're preggers, and exposure during that time-frame is dangerous, as you said, to the fetus. That's why I stuck with the 'child-bearing age' (and I prolly should have added 'ability', since not every <approx> 12-45 yo is able).
