From Yahoo News: Aren't you glad it's Friday? Do you want to maybe cry a little in celebration? Then check out this video, below, of Judy Pugh, whose home was destroyed by the tornadoes that swept through Tuscaloosa, Alabama on April 27. The ferocious twister left at least 39 dead in...

We're missing another kitten. Miss Emily cries to me about it every time I see her. She snuggles deep into my arms when I pick her up. If (a) she didn't hate all the other indoor kitties and (b) apartment management didn't keep an eye out and (c) we didn't have a city-mandated inspection next...

Bucky was found a couple miles down the road, by a young man who took the time to check the tags on his collar. Bucky's body was on the side of a very busy road. We brought him home and had a very sad burial ceremony. Bucky was only three years old, and came to us as a very feral kitten, who...

On Monday, 22nd October at about 4:30 pm our vet put him out of his misery. After his stay at the animal's hospital we gained some hope. But back at home he ate less from day to day, no favourite food, no treats could help. With all his dwindling strength he struggeld against giving him medicine...

Anyone out there have a Roku? I apologize if this is US-centric, I don't know if Roku is sold outside this country. I just bought one, and last night I set it up. It's the low-end one for regular, non-HD TV. Before I made the purchase, I checked the FAQ on their site to make sure I would be able...

Where I work, I have to take large sheets of metal off the production line and chop it up into smaller samples that can be submitted for testing. Whilst I have my particular method, I am sure that there's a better one out there. Here's the scenario: The original metal sheeting is 940mm wide by...

'Tis the start of Mango season here in the antipodes, and yesterday I had the pleasure and delight on consuming my first one for the season, and a mighty fine specimen it was too. Whilst enjoying its heady delights, I mentioned in passing that the Mango was proof of an Intelligent Creator. My...

I just googled "dust buster" because I've never owned one and now I want to buy one. I see that Target sells them. So I just wanted to hear from you guys what you think of them. Every day, even after I've vacuumed the floors, I find cat litter strewn around the bathroom floor. I'd really like...

This weekend just keeps getting worse and worse. It's hard enough waiting for Monday to find out when I'm having surgery, but yesterday in Walmart, I was eating some McDonald's chicken tenders (we have a McDonald's inside our Walmart) - and the chicken wasn't so tender. I bit down on something...

I promised an anecdote a day Here's one on my favouites, originally posted on March 12, 2000 There were aliens outside my bedroom window on Tuesday morning, but they didn't stay long. As you know, I've not been sleeping that well. I can't put it down to anything in particular, but it is...

And if I don't get the oppurtunity to post another tomorrow, here's another one of my favourites, orignally posted on July 10, 2001. Most days I'm a good slave and stay convinced of Shmogg's obvious status as a member of The Superior Species. And although he works extremely had at keeping the...

I realize this Repost may be considered tacky, but when I made the original post thought changing the Subject line would start a new thread for all news readers (mine does). I've since discovered it doesn't, and I don't want this to be lost in all the messages of the original thread. So, just in...

Ryan (the bub who had hte kidney operation) shares his home with Sophie and Mr Kittenhead (a black girlcat and ginger boycat), as well as his Mum and Dad. Before Ryan came along, his parents went to Canada thinking it was a permanant move, and took Sophie with them. Whilst in Canada they...

I'm thinking about selling the sectional couch in my living room. It's 3 pieces - a 3 cushion hide-a-bed, a 2 cushion loveseat (1 side is a semi-recliner), and a matching corner table that goes between the 2 couches. It's in fair condition and I think it would work well in someone's family or rec...

Yet another case of kitties who wake their hoomins when a home fire breaks out overnight, and yet another case of the kitties losing their lives. (unknown regarding registration to read) http://www.jconline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070828/NEWS/708280342/1141/NEWS

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Unfortunately, I had to have Katie put to sleep. She turned out to have cancer that had spread to multiple locations. The vet estimated that she probably had only two or three more weeks to live. She didn't appear to currently be in any pain, only...

Hello, Everyone. It seems like when it rains it pours it seems. Earlier tonight my Mom's friend was re-admitted to the hospital after surgical complications occurred after a few days. I can't go into further details because I said I wouldn't. But I am sure any female's out there can understand. In...

When I got home yesterday (Monday) afternoon Natasha and I went outside for a while (the first sunny day we've had in a while) and she wandered for a bit. Later she sat in my lap for a long while, and she was in bed next to me all night. But her problems continue. I don't think she's eaten or...
