In the meadow by the Rainbow Bridge A saint is taking care He's handing out the kibble And brushing poodles' hair He scritches all the kitties' ears And makes the ferals tame He even feeds the bunnies Saint Francis is his name Now sometimes on a foggy day

Sorry to impose this off-topic post on the group again, but this is getting really, really bad. As most of you know, I'm struggling desperately to gain some weight, but to do that I have to eat, and I can't eat with this constant bad taste in my mouth. Even brushing my tongue vigorously with a...

Has UseNet finally been left behind / made redundant by Facebook? It's sad because it outlasted so many other internet innovations and messaging systems since the old "bulletin board" days on which I started. It seems now to be forsaken for Facebook - adding another few billions of dollars...

Ah, the heck with it - I'm so (too) much of an open book here I may as well just repost it all in condensed form - everyone here has heard it in bits and pieces and can just ignore it please (and, regulars, since I promised I wouldn't bring this up here any more, I apologize, and please hit...

We cannot leave half-finished cups of tea sitting around anywhere or else the cats will stick a paw into them and then lap tea off the paw. We drink mostly Jasmine and Oolong, occasionally Hojicha or some other, but never "regular" english tea, so we don't know if they like that kind or not. They...

We knew we should give up the birds. Even if we had unusually long and healthy life-spans they would need new homes eventually. Their new Mommy loves them and so does her little boy. They have two dogs and four rats, so they are certified animal-lovers. And we can VISIT. Initially, Eddy was going...

OMFG NOMEN!!!!!! Dear gawds I don't even think I should tell this to Ben, I think he'd hunt you down and steal your ticket (singular - forget about me! ;) I *KNOW* you're walking on cloud nine- what's the air like up there? Congrats, my friend, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. --...

The boy loves his dry food, but I feed him gooshie with a tablespoon of dry now and again separately when he insists. I'd just run out of a box yesterday when he insisted on some dry. There was another box of a different flavour in the cupboard (I thought it was full, I always have a box in)...

We just celebrated Holly's 15th adoption day (Nov. 24, just in time for USA's Thanksgiving). She has brought me 15 years of joy and I am hoping for many more--truly a good way to celebrate Thanksgiving. MaryL

My 2 year old grandson recovering from the norovirus has pneumonia and was admitted to the hospital this afternoon. After his blood work came back abnormal and very low blood platelet count he has just been admitted to the ICU. They cannot drain the fluid sac in his lung because of the low blood...

For those of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving this week, whether you're in the U.S. or are expats or who have friends who want a "traditional" Usian Thanksgiving... what about your cats? Persia doesn't get people food. She never has (except what she managed to steal off my plate when she...

My granddaughter (I'm sure you remember my granddaughter when I was keeping everyone up-to-date during her battle with Non-Hotchkins Lymphoma). She's now very well, back to playing baseball, which she loves, and attending college. This is a picture of her almost two years ago right before they...

I absolutely *HATE* McDonalds. Of course, perversely that's the *ONLY* fast food place that DH likes. It's not just the food bad, but the service is horrendous (we sat in line at the drive-through for, I swear, *45 MINUTES! We stopped there on the way home from the doctor's office and (needing...

I was eating a bowl of cereal this morning and Archer was laying next to me with his head on my leg. He was wai-ting, waaai-ting, waaaaaai-ting. He finally got tired of waiting and batted my arm, HARD! (no claws) As if to say, hey, that's enough, leave me some!!! ; Then the ingrate took...

In our hallway there's a point where the heating pipe runs under the floor that happens to be right next to a radiator, this time of year that's where you're likely to find Sarsi crashed out...When I say crashed out I mean stretched out flat with as much of her body in contact with the floor as it...
