I've never known a cat to stay away from my sweaters. Sigh. I haven't the patience or ability to trim my kittehz' claws, and of course, I will never have the claws removed because ... eugh ... cutting off fingers at their first knuckle is not my idea of ethical. So I shall have to resign myself to damaged sweaters.
I find myself willing to watch a whole bunch of different hakas; I've learned at least a little about the fact that there are different types of hakas, some for women, many that aren't for warlike reasons, many to mourn people, others to celebrate events, etc. etc.
I knew going in that Maori were one of the rare examples of an indigenous population getting, if not the upper hand, at least the chance to win more rights for themselves than was the case in either of the Americas.
The exercise always makes me feel better when I'm done with it. While I'm doing it, I sometimes enjoy it. But there is one particular exercise I do that I hate. I do it right at the beginning to get it over with, and to do it while I still have a lot of energy. Heh.
