This might be gross and TMI for some, so you are warned grin. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy on Wednesday. I am a nervous wreck. I hate anything medical, and this looks to be a particularly nerve-wracking ordeal. Things can go wrong, and that always scares me, too. So if anyone is inclined...

In honour of the upcoming Father's Day, Kumani and Tyche have written the following letter to my partner: Dear MomDad: Happy Father's Day! We weren't sure about this Father's Day thing since you are also our biological mother, but we had to give Mom something for Mother's Day, so you had to wait.

As most of you know, Dennis and I are trying to move to Australia permanently. We have applied for a resident visa and have been waiting for what seems like a loooong time (since end of Feb) during which they have been conducting "internal checks". In April I emailed our migration agent in Perth...

Jean is a bit weak, a bit sore, and quite tired, but in really good spirits and was still making sure I was OK without any thought to perhaps I was concerned about her! She's out of ICU and back in a normal ward now. I didn't want to hold her up on the phone, because I'm guessing she doesn't have...

Take Panic mouse and arrange by one flattened out sheet from the Racing Form (or newspaper, but the Racing Form is a little smaller) so that the ribbons from arm bruuush paper at times. Mucho fun for kitties. Seems to be reeeallly attractive to hear/see the brushing of ribbons on paper.

Hello all, A friend of mine emailed this to me last night and I want to share it with all of you. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CAT AND A D*G One day, a cat and a dog were talking about their lives. DOG: "Wow! These humans are really something! They feed me my

Last night as I was making a pizza delivery, I happened upon a fox intent on having someone's cat for dinner. When I stopped the truck and scared the fox away the people came out to see what I was doing. They said knew there was a family of fox nearby, but didn't realise they'd go after the cat,...

It seems like there's been an awful lot of seismic activity on the west coast of the continent this week-- all of it. There was: - a 7.9 quake in Chile yesterday; - a 4.1 near Quito in Ecuador; - a 5.6 along the San Jacinto fault near San DIego; - And a 6.9 off the coast of Alaska earlier...

For some reason, this really cracks me up: http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/archive/getfuzzy-20050616.html -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca

Thanks to all who sent purrs etc. My ankle is healing well and it doesn't hurt to stand/walk now, it has gone through some interesting colour changes over the last few days. The eye op went without a hitch and nurse Smudge is making sure the morning and night-time medications (eye drops) are done...

Well, I thought it was enough to wait for nearly a month to know whether the tumour I had removed on 16 May was malignant or not, so I rang the secretary of the surgeon who did the op. She asked me if I had a date for a follow up appointment. I haven't. It should have been fixed when I was...

... by Baby Eyes, who was terribly PO'd and had completely withdrawn from me upon baby Bea's arrival. She is back to her usual ways: Laying on my desk in front of the PC monitor when I am there, rolling around and asking for her belly to be rubbed, occasionally reaching paws out to touch my hand...

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me and posted purrs and condolences here. I'm doing better until I read that poem Kittyyttik posted : ) That was beautiful, thank you. I did put in a police report last night. The female officer was so kind. There is a teen in a house a few doors down and...

Yes, I'm such a sucker. She's a small gray and white DLH, and she's been hanging around the apartment building, mainly in the garage. My roomie and I have seen her but she always ran away whenever I got closer to get a better look. Well........... She was on the wall outside my apartment...

I loved the video sequence referenced on The Cat's Meow the other day. See http://thecatsmeow.modblog.com/?show=blogview&blog_id=638149 Mognusticat http://mogular.blogspot.com/

Well, she survived the vet visit. Boy, for being my most confident cat, vet trips are certainly not her forte. Everything seems fine, and she appears to have gotten over her dish fear. I guess something just must have scared her while she was eating. Very wierd. The vet was the young one. She is, I...

Having just gotten back from a trip, I have a big suitcase filled to the brim with clothes. It's sitting in the bedroom, unzipped but closed. Open it to put away some stuff, and what do I find? Oscar nestled comfortably in my clothes. I take it she's not claustrophobic. Damn cat! DH tells me...

It's been almost two weeks since I last spoke with the folks in Irvine, but as of this morning they tell me I'm STILL in the running for the job. I've also applied for a couple of telecommute jobs, and would really like to see one of those materialize. Meanwhile, next week I've got a consulting...
