....have it sitting here next to me on the couch, and still can't grab it up quick enough to get snapshots and video of the masters' playing. Of course, first I have to find my glasses so I can actually *see* the phone and spend ten minutes looking for them before DH tells me they're on my...

I know real life interferes at times but this ng has suddenly gone quiet. :( Jill

Beast stopped eating the day after we arrived back in PA, Tuesday, his yowling went harsher and when yesterday he wouldn't even sniff the sausage patty brought home from breakfast - it was as though he waited to get "home". His cairn is just a step from Max's. I'm surprised at the depth of...

Hi the I was out in the backyard trying to plant when the cats, particuarly Chester, started being crazy. They were running around chasing each other and then Chester climbed the chainlink fence and finally, the huge ornamental crabapple, currently in blossom. He had a big fall from...

A new neighbour came around to discuss something earlier. She saw Lily. After looking at her, and then at HRFL who deigned to come and inspect her, she said that she wouldn't have cats with only one eye, and she though I was nuts to have them when there were so many other *more perfect looking*...

I always underestimate how long it takes to get the apartment clean, and I always overestimate how much food to get (but that's okay, since we can eat off party food for a week!). And I always hope more folks will come than actually show up. But with all that, it was a lovely party. A very...

How to Drive in Phoenix 1. You must first learn to pronounce the city name, it is: "FEE-NICKS". 2. The morning rush hour is from 5:00 am to noon. The evening rush hour is from noon to 7:00 pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning. 3. The minimum acceptable speed on most freeways is 85...

Siamese cats are not by nature a needy animal. They are aloof. Masters of all they survey. They may permit scritches if it makes us happy and they may even share the occasional purr. Physical closeness is also permitted and everyone knows shared body heat is a good thing. And of course an...

Hello cat-fans! Got a story for you about a stray cat. There was a grey tabby/white cat who would sneak in our cat-door after we went to bed to eat the left over cat food and munch on the cat biscuits. I would try and sneak back and catch a glimpse of him but he would always get away before I...

Last night, there was suddenly an aweful noise from the kitchen. Joel rushed over to find it was coming from the computer, specifically from the CDrw drive, which had suddenly turned itself on (otherwise the computer was idle, flicking through its screensaver, and had been for several hours)....

I can't have any sort of plant-like things in my house, otherwise Buffy tries to eat them. Well, I found a (new in the wrapper) scented Christmas candle in the hall closet. I guess it belonged to my mother. I'm not a candle person by any means. It had a decoration of fake holly with fake...

On another group I mentioned that since I deaf I can't hear water running and a friend replied with her efforts to get her cat to stop turning the water on. Reposted here with her permission. "Jo Firey" wrote in message ... My big problem...

..... they found another rotten tooth dammit :(((( and I'm now an additional $420 in debt with at least another $thousand$ or so worth of repairs needed to save three teeth that I'd lose otherwise. I hate losing teeth, would rather be up to my eyeballs in debt than have to get any more yanked...

My mom is having a lot of trouble coping with the aftermath of Katrina. Sometimes it's comical - like when she tries to talk on her cell phone and disconnects 5 times during our conversation by accidentally hitting the "off" button (they still don't have land line phone service in Chalmette). But...

Boy, has this been a week! I found out that someone else got the computer tech job that I had been REALLY looking forward to. Nancy called HR at her employer's home newspaper about a job she'd like to move to, and has still not gotten a call back (but she's still applying). I've been pulling...

He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he first came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/Garvin/ -- Hugs,

She vomited in the litter box on Sunday and hasn't eaten since then. I took her to the vet this morning after chasing her around the house for over half an hour. She got an antibiotic shot and 100cc of saline solution for dehydration. I took her home with a bottle of medicine to give her twice...
