No, I wasn't exaggerating about the number of minor accidents, and I wasn't kidding when I said my life is like something out of a Three Stooges movie. Here's the evidence of *some* of the accidents I had while re-doing my office (I can't show you the rest without an X-rating and some...

I just got out of a 3 week hospital stay yesterday. Last night, I went to bed early and woke up once throughout the night to find all four cats curled around me in various positions. A bundle of joy I can't even begin to describe. God, it's good to be home. -- ·.·´¨ ¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨))

I was out on my recumbent trike tonight. Lit up like a Christmas tree, as usual when cycling at night - three front lights, three rear lights, acres of reflectives... Discovered that of a summer night, in the dark, when yours truly on 'bent is outshining the moon by a significant factor, that...

This weekend I have the unenviable task of sitting my friend's 5 cats again, well going in twice a day to feed them, they don't really need sitting as they're 75% outdoor, only come in to eat and sleep at night. I am worried about George, he went on the missing list last time cos he hates taking...

The other day I stopped at a yard sale and picked up a little figurine to put in a potted plant. It is made out of resin with a 3 inch peg for jamming into the soil. The critter is in the shape of a realistic owl about 3 inches high. When I got home I started to stick it in the pot of aloe vera...

Does anyone know if Pam (can't remember her rpca nickname) is still posting on rpca or knows where she is? She once lived in Phoenix and before she and her husband divorced she was holding a rescue/support fund for rpca posters. I know the fund is no longer in existence but I am concerned about...

The news from down south started this song going around in my head last week. And sure enough, some of the broadcasters picked it up, and are using it as practically a theme song for the disaster. Few songwriters can couch such rage in such sweet melodies as Randy Newman: What has happened down...

Caliban's rough patch turned out to be --- ringworm! AAUUUGHHH! Well, he's been with us for over a month and the other cats show no signs of ringworm. The vet wants me to give all the cats oral meds now. I'm wondering if I should, since people here have testified that it may not be necessary. The...

Anyone here an MS Word guru? I am using a template d/l'd from the MS web site for the flier. It's looking very good but I want to put a border down the left side with images of produce (clip art! heheh). The template has this box down the left set up as a text box so when I try to paste...

And now it's in the lap of the Gods. ::Sigh:: There was a pannel of 3 people, and I didn't fluff my presentation but have no idea how it went either because it's all a bit of a blurr. The interview ended up being 50 minutes instead of 30mins, which I don't know is a good or a bad thing. I also...

It seems like they're the only ones out and about in this heat;) No. 1 Someone stole this guy's marijuana, so he called the police: http://tinyurl.com/cxjcn No. 2. No, I can't explain this, you just have to read it for yourselves: http://tinyurl.com/98dco

Tomorrow the cats and birdies go to the clinic with me where they will be poked, prodded and boarded until next Monday. I brought out the cardboard carrier and the other regular carrier and put them in the living room. Mischief and Imp know something is up and have immediately retreated. ...

they are 10 now and still act like they always did. Should I be changing their food to seniors? They are not overweight or anything, but is there anything special they need in their diets?

Some of you may remember that last month I said i was going bankrupt. Well, the Hearing was yesterday at 4pm in downtown Denver. I have been so stressed out about it, worrying that some of the creditors would be there and cause a problem. But it was a piece of cake. There were no creditors at all...

Yes, that's *me* - the mere hoomin. *I* am a mighty huntress. Waffles has taught me well. ;-) Earlier this evening I caught a glimpse of something small and rodent-like running across the floor. Something brought in by one of the three felines. I said nothing to Vernon as if I tell him there's...

I've mentioned before that we had another Siamese years ago. This is so long ago that it was right before we were married (and we're celebrating 30 this year!) Someone had abandoned her (she was about 1 yr old) in the hall in our apt building with a bowl of food; so they may have deprived her of...

Okay, times are tough and finances are tight. But sometimes you just gotta splurge on something the furry master might like, right? Since Persia loves to hide in dark corners in the closet, I thought she might like this...

HALLELUJAH! Thank you to the many people who recommended news.individual.net as a garbage-free news service. There is not one single, solitary gibberish post on it. Not one! All I have to do is killfile unwanted IDs and bingo! I can read RPCA in peace. No gibberish, no trolls, no...
