LOL! I know I've always said I felt like a teenager (especially after losing all the weight I have), but this is ridiculous! ; After inputting my data I got: Typical Life Expectancy - 77 Your Life Expectancy - 111 (well, my grandmother *did* live to be 104 and with medical technology advancing...

Nancy has been doing well at her job for the last year or so, but the place she works is making some management changes. The guy that stands to be named as her new boss is someone she knows to be incompetent, is out to get some of the existing employees, and isn't real fond of Nancy. She has a...

There was a news story on TV here the past couple of nights about a boy who sicced his dog on a neighbor's cat and videotaped the dog savaging the cat to death. He spent all of about 10 minutes in jail and just said, sarcastically, "Well what do you expect from a teenager?" The poor cat was so...

The best pic of Shmogg I've ever taken: http://www.angelfire.com/mt/yowie/images/Shmoggleberry.jpg Be warned, its big (~350kb). I'm quite amazed that at 15 (or thereabouts) he's as handsome as ever. If only I aged as well..... Yowie

For all those who don't know what the Melbourne Cup is....it is a horse race...actually the Melbourne Cup is one race on a day we call "Melbourne Cup Day"...if you live in Victoria (a state of Australia) you get a day off work (it is a public holiday)....it is HUGE....and dubbed "the race...

I was driving to the store and thought I heard a cat meowing. What the heck?! When I got to the store I even popped the hood to make sure there wasn't a cat in there. I just *now*, hours later, realized, my cell phone has a cat meowing as the ringtone when certain people call me. (I have...

Since this group appears to be non-descriminatory in its purrs S I would like to ask for purrs for my parakeet, Taz (short for Tazmanian Devil). Taz is only 5 years old. She was fine yesterday and last night. Playing, chirping, etc. This morning when I uncovered her I noticed she was...

In a cleaning frenzy this stormy afternoon, we blasted not our usual housecleaning "house" or "techno" music, but I reached deep into my hard drive and played old purloined (yes! a tune pirate!) Napster goodies at top volume.....all 3 of the short furry dictators fled under the beds upon Robert...

I feel so sorry for Skeeter. She had a favorite place to lie, in the geraniums by the sliding glass door. She has spent a great deal of time there the past couple of days. I check up on her whereabouts often because of her CRF, and because it's often time to giver her more medication, or try to...

Well, Odessa and I are starting to communicate. And what a little potty-mouth! A girl right after Mama's heart! "Good morning, sweetheart. Is that my little Odessa looking so pretty in the closet?" "HISSSSSSS!!!" "Won't you come out for Mama?" "HISSSSSSS!!!" "What a pretty girl Odessa is. Won't...

His friend Larry is taking him for a colonoscopy at 9:30 in the morning. He was not allowed to eat for 24 hours. John suffers from and has been hospitalized twice for diverticulitus and we hope he doesn't have to have surgery to cut out part of his intestine. I need some purrs for his scope to...

Friday's "Little Tales" is about a cat alarm clock and snooze button. Cute and familiar. www.little-tales.com/index.php?Strip=390 The image itself is www.little-tales.com/strips/091010.gif This bears on a thread of some months ago based on a link to an earlier

Mike and his wife Amanda Lynn just called and told me the great news. They think they are due in March, but haven't done the Dr thing yet. I'm so excited. Better yet, they asked earlier this month if they could move back here as Seattle wasn't full of Jobs right now and Fayetteville has better...

Not for a teenager rushing around a high-powered car but for the average sensible adult like we all are on here with a car that meets our needs. Would you all mind telling me what you pay? I just want to compare it with what I just paid for my renewal. Thinking about it further, I'd like to...

I've been wrestling with Yahoo photos on and off for most of the day, and it's wanting to resist. But, I did manage to finally load enough photos of the gang for you all to meet them. I've tried linking to the photos in my sig file, so let's see if this works. -- Mike The early bird gets the...

Some of you may recall I was having serious troubles with a certain boss over an allegation that could have led to disciplinary action back in December/January. Nothing more has been said on the matter until today when I am handed a letter telling me the hearing will go ahead on the 29th of March....

I am supposed to get clavamox pills into Tiger twice a day. Hiding in his food isn't working and I don't think he would eat "pill pockets". I wonder if I could smash the pill, mix it with butter (or vasoline) and smear the mixture on his fur. The alternative is a number of 20 mile trips to the...

I missed a couple days and am trying to catch up (nearly impossible with this group) but we've been purring for those in need. So now I need to request purrs for my sister, Teri, and one of her cats, Sam. Sam is having a head x-ray and surgery to remove a lump on/in his neck tomorrow (Tuesday...

"Singh" wrote in message ... ...and i don't even let my cats out. this morning the others decided it was integration time, and all went well. Odessa went exploring, and we haven't seen her since she ran into the basement. I'm...

I want to thank Yowie for her nice comments about N.Z - for my part I am addicted to Aus. as well as N.Z. The two countries share a lot together - Russell Crowe, rofl. I have a bit of news myself and I think it is a spin off from LOTR. Peter Jackson,(Producer of LOTR) plus the N.Z. Government...
