I keep seeing posts on here about weight, how much is good and how much isn't. Yesterday we had a family reunion and the first thing my younger uncle's wife said to me was "Oh, I'm glad to see you are still slim." I haven't seen her for two years. What's that about? Does it matter to my family...

Outlook Express refused to post my message in reply, presumably because the original post was in HTML. It likes plain text for newsgroups. Tweed

I had some frozen cooked sliced turkey breast from Christmas that I decided to defrost to give the cats a little treat. The following day, that is. It was on the kitchen worktop, defrosting away in the plastic bag. Last night I suddenly became aware that KFC was eating something - right next...

How are you now? Tweed

I am feeling so well now after so long being ill that I have been able to do lots of things that have been neglected. Almost everything that needed mending is mended. I just ignored it before. Car is mended. Bl**dy fortune. I have a handbrake again. I have hot water again at last and lots of...

Does anyone know how to stop it? I dread to think if everyone in my address box has received a mail saying "Is your c==k as hard as stone?" like I got supposingly from myself. I hope none of you have got one, if you have, it's not me. Tweed

Mental Test The following was developed as a mental age assessment by the School Psychiatry at Harvard University . Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake. The average person over 35 years of age cannot do it! 1. This is this cat. 2. This is is cat. 3. This is how...

She's been doing well, appetite wise, since she was home from hospital, but her streaming green nose stuff has never cleared up properly, although not quite so frequent. However, I don't think she likes having it any more than I liked it last night when she sat on my chest purring while I was...

I rang Nick today to see if there was any news. He said she has been spotted back at the bungalow where she normally lives, although he has not seen her himself. I asked him who saw her, and could it have been another cat perhaps, he said it was the next door neighbour who knows her well but...

Boyfie helped me with the chickens this morning and then wandered off into the countryside. No problem, he often does it. He usually comes home in an hour or two and goes for a sleep on the spare bed until it's time for teatime snacks. He had not come home all day and when it was dark I feared...

She continues to do quite well, despite her diagnosed renal failure. She now has a litter box both upstairs and downstairs and mainly uses them, but sometimes forgets and wees on my woodpile at the side of the woodburner. The vet thought she had a touch of kitty alzheimers at her advanced age,...

Well. (if I start a post with Well..it means I'm not best pleased.) It is 5 weeks now since I consulted my doctor about my incisional hernia from my previous surgery last year and I posted about what a useless consultation it was from my point of view then, if you remember. The doctor said he...

I glanced away from the computer when I heard noises in the kitchen. It was Boyfie playing with something. It was a dead mousie, he left it for me and went out again. I woke Kitty up and put it under her nose. She scarfed it down. It doesn't seem such a waste of a tiny life if it becomes a...

Well, I finally got my hospital appointment about my hernia today. Very nice doctor. Shook my hand when he came in and explained everything. After he'd examined me he said the defect in my muscle wall was quite large (as big as an orange) and that an incisional hernia was quite a different...

Are gone. Kitty has discovered them. He used to escaped upstairs to snooze on the spare bed away from her but she has found it and plonks herself on it. And grins. She has also found out that his most beloved place - on top of the freezer in the conservatory with a blanket on top is very...

She refused her breakfast today and I was a bit concerned until I noticed that Boyfie was guarding a dead mouse that he had just caught. Well, that's what she wanted for her breakfast of course so I quickly gave Boyfie some crunchies in his bowl and he left the mousie. Which let KFC spring out...

"Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... The grey and white cat backs away, but starts meowing rather loudly at me. I stop and stare. Buster? Buster!!!! He meows back at me some more, and I pick him up. He cuddles...

That she no longer likes her renal food. Which is brilliant because I just bought 48 pouches from the vet for her at an enormous cost on Friday!! sigh She's fed up with it, I think. She preferred to hoover up Boyfie's pouch of ordinary food salmon/trout this morning. The vet did say to me...

Mammogram today, ouch, ouch and ouch. Results in 2 weeks - ish. Pre-op assessment Thursday. My cup runneth over with medical appointments this week. Tweed -- bad mood now

She did not maintain the slight improvement I saw which caused me to cancel her appointment last week. I said I would give her over the weekend and she how she went. She hardly ate on Sunday, no matter what lovely food was provided. Monday morning she ate nothing, Monday after work I phoned...
