Does anyone have firs thand news about the Virginia earthquake? 5.9 is a [pretty good shake. That is where My eldest grandson and his family live. I have tried to phone and e-mail with no luck so far. MLB

Well the rough part is that I lost my job at the vet clinic...things just 'weren't working out' and it all comes down to the right fit. And it didn't help that I've been having panic attacks sporatically all month, and losing the one job that makes the most money is not helping at all. Guy's...

We have been informed - by the kitten - that her name is Sally. I did get the L part right, there are two of them. Here are some piccies: http://www.flickr.com/photos/49505554@N06/sets/72157627511216704/with/6077918208/She sure is skinny!

This is on topic... eventually. We've been having "rolling brown-outs" here. We had five today and then, at around 6:00pm our electricity went off entirely (as it turns out, in a very large area around us). We waited and waited, it got hotter and hotter (for Ben). Finally, around 8:30pm Ben...

I ordered a cat grass kit from Drs. Foster & Smith for Persia (plus a refill, sometimes it pays to be optimistic!). It's four little plant troughs plus some potting soil "plugs", plus seed for rye, barley, oats and wheat grass for each of the four sections. And a nice wooden container for the...

Another small kitty showed up in our carport. Dave noticed her this morning and we were able to catch her by offering food. We thought we heard meowing out there last night, and both Saturday and Sunday something woke me during the wee hours. Two nights ago I went out, expecting perhaps a possum...

Not a hurricane but a really noisy thunderstorm that lasted for quite a while. TuTu has found a hiding place and apparently has decided to stay there. Guess I'll have to open the fridge to get her attention. MLB

rant No, not the programs on it, not even the TV itself actually, but the cable box that got fried during one of our "brown-outs". I wouldn't normally label myself as a TV person, but now that it's not available I get aggravated and miss it a lot. Especially tonight. I let myself get...

Or so you would think. I was sticking pieces of tape on the side of my bedroom/kitchen table in preparation of changing a bandage. I didn't notice how enticingly they were waving in the breeze of my ceiling fan. Archer, who was laying on my bed soaking up the warmth of my bedside lamp,...

My SIL Peggy has liver cancer. We saw her on the weekend and she's really not doing well. She's getting to the point where she's lost interest in everything that she used to love doing, and she doesn't go anywhere except the hospital/doctors, and so on. She really needs some encouragement to help...

No, not just their beauty or their ability to see into one's soul. I mean their workings. My garage, to me, when the light is off and the doors closed, is pitch black. I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. I wouldn't dare take even a step for fear of walking into something. Yet every...

For helping me put his spot-on on a month ago. I thought he would be shy of him afterwards as we had to hold him down. Simon visited me this afternoon and Boyfie was so happy with that he very nearly rubbed himself against his legs. Not quite, it was a step too far but he stayed in the room...

And I still don't know for sure if it will be all right. This evening I was doing some long-postponed mending while I watched TV. Waffles decided to come up in my lap. When I finished, I put the needle, with about 12 inches of thread, on the table by my chair. Waffles immediately had to...

This is why I just smile and nod when somebody accuses me of running a cat house. ; This isn't a new picture. I don't take many pictures any more for many reasons, but mainly because my phone takes sh*tty pictures and my good camera/camcorder got wet during Ike (Ben says he's going to fix...

I'm so old I still shake the milk carton before pouring? How old are you? ; -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped

Just to take our minds of opera for a minute - much as I enjoy the genre - I've decided to post a couple of pictures. Here's Giovanni sitting up on the patio beams: http://www.ocrebels.com/Giovanni.jpg And here's an unappy Emma (who doesn't like other cats) with Niobe invading her space on the...

This vid is from a while back, but I just stumbled on it when I was browsing my web site (I *finally* updated my front page and added Sammy's name with Bandit's). Happily, sadly, whatever, Archer still engages in this activity almost nightly. He claims that when he finally manages to get...
