Tom and I went had a coupon for 15% off at the Timberland shop at the Outlet Mall in San Marcos, TX (Texas' 3rd most popular tourist attraction). We needed hiking boots and also regular shoes, they make very comfortable walking shoes. I chose a pair of shoes in suede, very nice and very...

This morning as I started to stir in bed before waking up completely, Frank came over from the foot of the bed and lay down on the pillow next to my head. My arm was stretched out, and Frank laid his paw on it, with his claws out just a leeettle, enough to keep my arm in place without breaking...

I have an opportunity to spend some quality time (hopefully mountain biking) with my favorite aunt, so off I go. Kind of a last-minute decision. I should have some solid info about a job when I get back (I got an offer, but we're still haggling about some particulars). Get-well purrs, job purrs,...

Marina wrote: May Miranda have a few purrs for Thursday? We will go to the cats-only vet for the first time, and she will be spayed if the vet thinks she is big enough. I'm probably going to be a nervous wreck. I take her in at 10.30, and should be allowed to take her home later the same ...

I have an interview on Tuesday for a job supervising a public computer lab this summer and giving basic computer classes. I can deal with this /much/ better than retail (To anyone here who works retail--I cannot do your job without sedation.) I really, really want this job and would like some of...

Yesterday, I was folding laundry in the bedroom, Tennessee was lazing the afternoon away on the window seat. All of a sudden, I hear what sounds like something slapping the glass. I look and Ol' Fat Grumpy & Lazy is 'chasing' a fly. It must have left the window for a bit, because the next thing...

Mattie, the sweetheart I adopted last September is proving to be one of the most entertaining cats I have ever known. Know how little kids make zoom zoom noises for their cars? I swear to you, she has a vroom noise for when she is about to take off running. For everything she does she has a...

reg vardy in stockton provides the worse service and customer service they cannot sell a car without lieing about the mileage and paintwork they are no different than the small garages that sells car at least they seem to want your business and not try to sell you loans before you choose the...

Now I am home I have resumed care of my two cats, but I cannot do the poultry yet as I am not allowed to carry the drinkers and food bucket, so neighbour Stan is still coming round to attend to what hens are left here for a few more weeks. When he was here yesterday, he told me that on the first...

Tee hee! I was lying on the bed when my meowmy started laying out the clothes she wanted to put on. Those jeans looked dangerous, so I attacked them and vigorously bunny-kicked them until they were dead. Then I burrowed under them to make sure there were no greeblings hiding there. Now...

This one made me think of Dave. Heed this warning. Do NOT lose your kids in the Mall! A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall. He approached a uniformed policeman and said, "I've lost my dad!" The cop asked, "What's he like?" The little boy replied, "Crown Royal whiskey and women with big...

My house is very quiet tonight. :o( 3 little fluffy hoolikittens ahev gone to their forever homes, and whilst I feel happy that they will be cherished and loved by their new slaves, and they'll all be using the vet I recommended so I can keep tabs on them, I miss them. Flanagan has been renamed...

Since Friday morning my slave has been absence from work for many hours each day. Each day she has worked for only a short time in the mornings and evenings. In-between times, she has been AWOL. I do not know where my slave has been going nor do I care to know her opinion that what she has been...

At least I'm on trial - to see if I can manage - otherwise straight back to Auntie Margarets..She made me promise not to lift anything heavier than a kettle of water or try to clean chicken pens out, so I've promised. I was just so homesick and wanted to see KFC & BF. Actually, I think I missed...

Monday I have two interviews for different positions within the bank, and I'm freaking. Two interviews before I have to go into the cesspool called the customer service office. I am so anxious to get out of there i could scream. I'm dying for a nice quiet job in my own little cubie where all I have...

My mom's cat has a recurring round sore on her right hind leg. It started about 7 months ago and we took her to the vet. He tested for roundworm (negative), and treated her with Tresaderm once a day plus an anti- inflammatory pill (very small dosage) which we crushed into powdered form and placed...

This is what i've been telling Tygra and Possum, since they have finally noticed Mousie's cage sitting WAY up on the entertainment center. Luckily, there's no way the cats are getting up there because the top is just too crowded, and Mousie doesn't seem inclined to try to escape either. Possum...

We managed to stop the wild mustang slaughter, but now this is about *domesticated* horses!!!! I thought you might be interested in this HSUS campaign to protect horses from slaughter. We don't eat horsemeat but tens of thousands of American horses are shipped under inhumane conditions and suffer...
