There's a distressing-looking photo making the rounds in emails. You might end up with a copy of it, as I did... you know how it goes, when people forward it to everyone they know, and THEY forward it, and so on. Well, one got forwarded to me yesterday. If you look up on snopes.com, the urban...

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...

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...

I have a new baby kit - his name is Jake, and I finally got him to hold still long enough for me to take photos. Here is the link to the Webshots album I put them in: http://community.webshots.com/album/351919687neijsT Or, if that wraps, try this one: http://makeashorterlink.com/?T1192178B Please...

We've had the "where are you?" posts - country, province, city, state, etc. How about where have you lived? And to keep it semi-on-topic, did you have a cat or cats and if so, did you move the cat(s) with you or have to make other arrangements? I'll start - USA: California (twice) Virginia...

So, I'm about to go to bed last night after finishing some work in my office in the basement. As I go upstairs I'm shocked to see that the steps are covered in blood with large quantities splashed on the woodwork, great smears all over the kitchen floor etc. Needless to say it was quite...

I've been asked by the guy who bought the store down the street to create and print up fliers (how the heck do you spell that?) for him to hand out and possibly to tuck into people's mailboxes or whatever. Seems he thought I'd do this for free. Uh, no. Paper and printer ink cost me money, not...

Rufous is having trouble jumping this morning. He wasn't able to make it on the bed and just now he couldn't get into the litterbox (it's a purrfect privvy, so it's a small jump to get in and out). Not normal for a 2 year old who just got a clean bill of health last week. He's not limping or...

Well, my God, had I known a little special food would make this much difference.... I really can't believe it. Pearl is sassy again. Pestering Sugar, nipping me. Playing (well, as much as she has played). I honestly believe her intestines are more a problem than her heart as far as day to day...

Jill, I just emailed you the flyer as an attachment. Since you have Word, you should just be able to save the attachment to desktop, then doubleclick on it to open. I put an addl note in there. -- Shirley B. Rexie's Mom To Reply by email: remove 'nick'

I was awakened around 4:30 this morning by a cat fight - Eli and Abelard, as usual. Normally if this happens and it's still dark, I go back to sleep for a while, but not today. Dunno why... I could have a bit more rest. Just after dawn, Baby Eyes & Lily were sitting in the doorway looking out into...

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...

Yesterday was a city holiday, and I wasn't working. I felt energetic (and the buses were all disrupted), so in spite of the rainshowers, I visited some friends, paused after leaving there and heading to the regatta (the reason for the holiday), paused en route to use a computer. I eventually got to...

I was able to find someone nearby to move the poor cat-- he agreed that the poor thing was too far gone for me to have done it myself. It was a terrible mess. Damn this hot weather. Poor fellow, he was a blue-grey cat who was a neighborhood regular-- very slim and dignified, with round green...

Hi all, I just spent the last few minutes oohing and aahing over a nature gift catalogue that I got in the mail today. They have a website you might want to check out at http://www.whalesdirect.com There are a lot of tempting cat-;dog-; horse-; wolf-themed gifts here - prepare to drool. Christine

Rearranging my office a bit, I moved the roughly 3' high Cat Condo from next to the main computer on the computer table, to the desk. The desk is a few inches higher than the table. The Condo now sits on the outside edge of the desk, next to the walkway. Since this is higher and better padded than...

Yes, another kitten. This one was out back, but I am sure it is a littermate to the one we found Sunday. About the same age. More timid than the first one, that's probably why it stayed hidden longer. I hope there aren't any more out there. The problem now is, it has a scabby sore over one eye. It...

I've got another dumped cat. This one is sad. From the looks of it, it's got FIP / FeLV written all over it. It looks like a teenager, real skinny and just doesn't look healthy. It's skittish but not feral-acting. I put it in the garage, I don't want the poor thing in the house around the other...

My youngest brother who lives not far away invited me to a meal last night so I walked 20 minutes there and back cos I thought we might have wine and I didn't want to drive. Lovely meal, fajitas, lots of wine and charade games. I walked back and certainly knew that I'd done it when I got up today....
